is initiated (Roberts, Kitchiner, Kenardy, & Bisson, 2009).
More research is needed to determine the most effective
interventions. The results of one randomized controlled
trial report that EMDR was more effective than pharmacotherapy
with an SSRI for adult onset PTSD (van der Kolk
et al., 2007). A recent Cochrane Review by Hetrick, Purcell,
Garner, and Parslow (2010) failed to demonstrate benefits
of a combination of pharmacotherrapy and psychological
therapies to enhance recovery.
