Secondly, we will evaluate 15 controlled and randomized studies which on the whole confirm the good effectiveness of this therapeutic approach in the treatment of PTSD. Finally, after having presented in a comprehensive manner the basic protocol of EMDR therapy, we will briefly present one clinical case treated with this approach.
