Testing the effectiveness of a new French assisted resilience program among long-term unemployed people: a randomized control trial.

Treating Trauma in Addiction with EMDR: A Pilot Study.

Unlabelled: Abstract Objective: This study investigated the effects of standard eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) protocol in chronically dependent patients. We propose that reprocessing traumatic memories with EMDR would lead to measurable changes of addiction symptoms.

Method: Twelve patients with alcohol and/or drug dependency were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions: treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU plus eight sessions of EMDR (TAU+EMDR).
