OK, what I have heard (from several pretty reasonable CBT types, also noted the existence of at least a few studies on the subject) about EMDR is that it is no more effective with the eye movements (the only novel part of the tx) than it is without them. That is, it doesn't add anything new to existing treatments for phobias, PTSD, etc. (exposure therapies).

There's also no particular theoretical basis for it...it seems really faddish to me, overall. :-(
