Seeing their way clear - Eye movement psychotherapy is helping people who seem unable to free themselves from negative memories, reactions and behaviors

What just transpired is a psychotherapy called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). It has emerged over the past decade as one of the hottest - and some say most powerful - therapies for those who seem stuck in negative memories, reactions and behaviors. Once harshly criticized, EMDR's growing clinical and research track record has won over most detractors. Disagreements among mental-health professionals no longer focus on whether it works, but on how it works.
