Abstract

Recent practice guidelines and meta‐analyses have designated eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as a first‐line treatment for trauma. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is an eight‐phase therapeutic approach guided by an information‐processing model that addresses the combat veteran's critical incidents, current triggers, and behaviors likely to prove useful in his or her future. Two case examples of combat veterans illustrate the ability of EMDR to achieve symptom reduction in a variety of clinical domains (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger, physical pain) simultaneously without requiring the patient to carry out homework assignments or discuss the details of the event. The treatment of phantom limb pain and other somatic presentations is also reviewed. The ability of EMDR to achieve positive effects without homework indicates that it can be effectively employed on consecutive days, making it especially useful during combat situations. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
