| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS BoR0x9Jt. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. In this study, Barber's [ (1961). Resistance by scientists to scientific discovery. Science, 134,596-602] analysis of scientists'resistance to discoveries is examined in relation to an 18-year controversy between the dominant cognitive-behavioral paradigm or zeitgeist and its chief rival - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in treating trauma-related disorders. Reasons for persistent opposition to training, utilization and research into an identified'evidence-based treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder' (EBT-PTSD) within US military and veterans'agencies closely parallels Barber's description of resistance based upon socio-cultural factors and scientific bias versus genuine scientific skepticism. The implications of sustained resistance to EMDR for combat veterans and other trauma sufferers are discussed. A unified or super-ordinate goal is offered to reverse negative trends impacting current and future mental healthcare of military personnel, veterans and other trauma survivors, and to bridge the scientific impasse. |
