Abstract

Therefore, the question to be answered is, in military veterans with PTSD, how does prolonged exposure therapy compare to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) in regard to treatment success rates during treatment course? Our Veterans serve our country, protect us and some pay the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. We owe those who remain behind with invisible scars the effort and desire to find the best treatment.
