Quick fixes for complex problems?

I have followed with interest the ongoing debate in the Behuvior Therapist regarding the practice and dissemination of the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) technique. I am most struck, however, by the willingness of behavior therapists to enthusiastically embrace and practice this technique despite "the paucity of data with regard to its effectiveness" (Boudewyns, Stwertka, Hver, Albrecht, & Sperr, 1993).
