Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): Information processing in the treatment of trauma (Journal of Clinical Psychology)

This article provides an overview of 20 controlled-outcome studies and describes Shapiro’s Adaptive Information Processing model.

Study on EMDR(R) for patients traumatised by a cancer diagnosis/treatment, as indicated by depression, anxiety, satisfaction with life, etc.

This article presents hypotheses on the neurobiology of a mindfulness–dissociation continuum, including EMDR.

We suggest that trauma contributes to conduct problems. EMDR was used as a trauma treatment for boys with conduct issues with good results.

Explore how a peer support workshop and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help railroad workers cope with grief and trauma.

This article examines points of confusion in the literature on EMDR, including the theoretical, empirical, and historical issues around EMDR.

Studies on the efficacy of EMDR in the treatment of PTSD have yielded a range of results. This study explored methodological differences.

Possible reasons for the effectiveness of EMDR are discussed, including the nonexposure mechanisms utilized in information processing models.

We propose that the repetitive redirecting of attention in EMDR induces a neurobiological state, similar to that of REM sleep.

This controlled study evaluated the effectiveness of brief intervention for disaster-related PTSD in children.

The authors conclude that methodological rigor reduces noise & error, allowing for the more accurate treatment effects in EMDR studies.

Both EMDR and prolonged exposure produced significant reduction in PTSD and depression symptoms, maintained at 3-month follow-up.
