About EMDR
A treatment method in eight phases
EMDR was developed in the USA by Francine Shapiro PhD. She completed her first study with trauma patients in 1988 as part of her dissertation after successfully treating patients with war trauma and sexual abuse in one EMDR session. In 1991, the pioneer of systematic desensitization, Joseph Wolpe, reported a dramatic improvement in a trauma patient after EMD treatment (as EMDR was then called). More studies and textbook publications followed, and EMDR became a treatment modality with eight phases.
EMDR is one of the most effective psychotherapy methods with an effect size of Cohen’s d= 1.43 (Bradley, Greene, Russ, Dutra & Westen, 2005). More than 40 randomized controlled studies published to date and are proof of the effectiveness of EMDR in many mental disorders and physical illnesses with a psychosomatic component. Since 2000, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) has listed EMDR in its practical guidelines as an effective treatment method.
