Article Abstract

“Ignacio (Nacho) Jarero, PhD, EdD, is recognized worldwide for his pioneer work in providing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in a group format in-person and online, which extends to adaptive information processing (AIP)-informed advanced psychosocial interventions for trauma-exposed populations and AIP-informed treatment intervention procedures for in-person and remote treatment. For his humanitarian services worldwide, with over 200 deployments working in worst-case scenarios, he received the Francine Shapiro Award, the International Crisis Response Leadership Award, and the Psychotrauma Trajectory Award. Dr Jarero was also honored with the EMDR International Association Outstanding Research Award and played a key role in the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies’ conclusion that EMDR is an evidence-based treatment for acute stress disorder. He is a founder member of the Council of Scholars for the Future of EMDR Therapy Project (Research Working Group), an ISTSS Research SIG member, a Frontiers in Public Health Journal Associate Editor, and a reviewer for the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research (JEMDR), Elsevier journals, Frontiers in Psychology, and Frontiers in Psychiatry.”
