I completed school in 1994. So no I was not taught it in school, etc. I have friends/colleagues who went for the training when it first came out. At Menninger's it was psychologists and social workers who did EMDR. I am not sure if any of the psychiatrists learned it or not. I could ask. The thing is that you may not understand is that Menninger's used to be ranked number one in the country for their programs.

People from Menninger's may still use EMDR with some people. I am just not aware of it. It is NOT that they became anti-EMDR, and no one would ever accuse them of being in bed with the drug companies. When I was a patient there in the early to mid 80's I was being prescribed Parnate, and that was thought to be a no-no back then.

Anyway, I know the big fad now is Mentalizing, and I know they are using this and evaluating it too. They will use whatever works. Maybe EMDR works well for some people and not others. Our VAH has found that to be so. I am also a vet.

You are right; money makes the world go round, and the EMDR folks are no exception to the rule. When it first came out, one of my colleagues from school was offered all sorts of perks to do it and promote it. She did the training.
