psychotherapy: eye movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR)


In practice directed eye movement and other rhythmic stimulation directed by the psychotherapist play less of a role in this method of psychotherapy than its name implies. EMDR integrates these techniques with several other procedures, including psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and other techniques, based on a theory that this facilitates access to the information systems of the brain to treat mental disorders and symptoms, especially posttraumatic stress disorder.

Phases of treatment:
  1. Client history
  2. Client preparation
  3. Assessment
  4. Desensitization
  5. Installation
  6. Body scan
  7. Closure
  8. Reevaluation
