EMDA: Treatment procedure for lateral Eye Movement Desensitization

Considering the proven and broadly confirmed positive effects of EMDR, EMDA represents a
useful basis for further development and adaptation.

Article Abstract

“To investigate the (putative) affect-reducing effect of the clinical method lateral eye movement (EMDR) an experimental treatment was performed by means of EMDA. Assuming that arousal reduction and mood elevation compared to other types of distractions are significant, an emotionally colored arousal was generated, followed by lateral eye movement and two variants of distraction. Results from EMDA treatment suggest an effect in arousal reduction compared to distraction conditions.”
