Eyemovement Densensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eyemovement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR) integrates elements of multiple psychotherapies
in structured protocols that are designed
to maximize treatment effects. These therapies
include: psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral,
interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered
therapies . EMDR is an information processing
therapy and uses an eight phase approach.
During the 8 phases of treatment the client
attends to past and present experiences
while simultaneously focusing on an external
stimulus. Then the client is instructed
to let new material become the focus of
the next set of dual attention and is repeated
several times during the session.
