Overviews of the history, development, and research that have established EMDR as an empirically supported…

TLDR
It is proposed that the repetitive redirecting of attention in EMDR induces a neurobiological state, similar to that of REM sleep, which is optimally configured to support the cortical integration of traumatic memories into general semantic networks.

TLDR
Points of confusion in the published literature on EMDR are due to the lack of an empirically validated model capable of convincingly explaining the effects of the EMDR method, inaccurate and selective reporting of research, some poorly designed empirical studies, inadequate treatment fidelity in some outcome research, and multiple biased or inaccurate reviews by a relatively small group of authors.
