Dissertation Abstract

“The effects of EMDR-informed therapy via an online platform for individuals with PTSD symptoms was examined using a single case multiple baselines across participant design. The study sessions were “EMDR-informed,” meaning they were patterned after elements of the basic EMDR protocol established by founder Francine Shapiro (Shapiro, 1989, 2017) but were not proven to meet the standards of EMDR therapy based on the EFSR (EMDR Fidelity Rating Scale; EMDR Foundation, n.d.). The sessions in this study did not meet those requirements and therefore cannot be represented as EMDR therapy; however, many of the interventions in the sessions were inspired by EMDR therapy and therefore ‘EMDR-informed.'”
