References for Podcast Episode 12 - EMDR at the Frontiers of Medical Trauma and Grief
Here are the references for all the studies and books mentioned in Episode 12 of EMDR The Science Behind the Therapy — EMDR at the Frontiers of Medical Trauma and Grief.
In Episode 12 of EMDR: The Science Behind the Therapy, host Dr. Andrew Leeds takes listeners inside the 2026 EMDR Europe Conference in Oslo to explore cutting-edge, yet-to-be-published EMDR treatment research on medical trauma and grief. During breaks between keynotes and workshops, Dr. Leeds interviewed investigators whose poster presentations highlight how EMDR is being adapted for complex medical and loss-related experiences.
To support clinicians in integrating outcome data into everyday practice, the episode closes with an invitation to join a free beta of a measurement‑based care platform offering standard and EMDR‑relevant assessment tools, real‑time dashboards, and flexible workflows tailored for busy therapists.
Below you will find supplemental references of the research on EMDR for breast cancer, women coping with infertility, myocardial infarction, and grief, as well as references and contact information for each of the four poster sessions mentioned in the Episode 12 of the podcast.

References for Podcast 11 The Science of EMDR Therapy with Children and Teens
Here are the references for all the studies and books mentioned in Episode 11 of EMDR The Science Behind the Therapy — The Science of EMDR Therapy with Children and Teens.
In this month’s episode, I first summarize six key studies to sketch the arc of the research evidence—and then I am joined by Carolyn Settle to explore both the science of EMDR therapy with children as well as its application with children and teens. I close the episode with a recently published study of young children that used defined protocols and fidelity ratings.
Below you will find both a broad overview of the research on EMDR for children and teens as well as a specific list of the references for each of the studies mentioned in the June 2026 blog on SonomaPTI.com. You will also find links to 14 books on EMDR therapy with children and teens, 5 EMDR Grant Funding Sources, and 2 sources for advanced child and adolescent training with Carolyn Settle.

References for Podcast 10 From Hypertension to Domestic Violence: EMDR at the Heart of Trauma Care.
Here are the references for all the studies and books mentioned in Episode 10 of EMDR The Science Behind the Therapy — From Hypertension to Domestic Violence: EMDR at the Heart of Trauma Care.
In this episode, we explore how EMDR therapy is being tested and refined across a wide range of clinical frontiers. You’ll learn about large-scale meta-analyses on the treatment of depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma, early intervention protocols for recent critical incidents, and innovative applications for treating hypertension and addictive sexual behavior that link symptom change to shifts in autonomic regulation. We will consider a psychoanalytic understanding of EMDR therapy that speaks directly to clinicians grounded in Freudian and Kleinian models, and we’ll close with a powerful, integrative EMDR-based approach to treating the enduring impact of domestic violence against women. All this and more in Episode 10 of EMDR: The Science behind the Therapy.

References for Podcast 9 EMDR: Scaling Healing From War Zones to Waiting Rooms April 2026
Here are the references for all the studies mentioned in Episode 9 of EMDR The Science Behind the Therapy — EMDR: Scaling Healing From War Zones to Waiting Rooms.
This month, we explore how EMDR therapy is being adapted and scaled to meet trauma where it lives: in hospitals, clinics, homes, and war zones. From meta-analytic evidence on brief, often online group EMDR interventions for healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, to innovative group protocols that help overstretched public health systems reach people on long waiting lists, these studies show how EMDR can be delivered efficiently without sacrificing depth or safety. We look at parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders receiving intensive group EMDR over three days, older adults using EMDR to reclaim movement and daily functioning from chronic pain and kinesiophobia, and Ukrainian clinicians applying EMDR-informed, low-threshold trauma support in the midst of ongoing war. All this and more in Episode 9 of EMDR: The Science behind the Therapy.

References for Podcast 8 How EMDR Therapy Works: The Science of Healing and Neuroplasticity March 2026
Here are the references for all the studies mentioned in the Episode 8 of EMDR The Science Behind the Therapy — How EMDR Therapy Works: The Science of Healing and Neuroplasticity.
This episode explores the question “How does EMDR therapy work?” with its focus on EMDR’s use of bilateral eye movements. Other forms of bilateral stimulation are also discussed including kinesthetic stimulation, such as the Butterfly Hug and bilateral auditory stimulation. Drawing on insights from his textbook, A Guide to the Standard EMDR Therapy Protocols (2nd ed) and an EMDRIA Conference presentation, Dr. Andrew Leeds reviews the latest research studies that clarify and strengthen our understanding of EMDR therapy’s six key mechanisms of action All this and more in Episode 8 of EMDR: The Science behind the Therapy.
