Eye movement desensitization: Three unusual cases
Three complex cases are presented on the applicability of eye movement desensitization (EMD) for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Article Abstract
“Three complex cases are presented to document further the broad applicability of eye movement desensitization (EMD) for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the first subject this disorder was combined with panic attacks; in the second, sexual dysfunction was an additional consequence of childhood sexual abuse; and in the third the causative situation directly resulted in profound impairment of occupational and social function. In all three cases treatment produced rapid resolution of symptoms and functional recovery.”
