DESCRIPTION

From the site:   Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b).

NOTE:  This particular technique has gained traction in the treating of PTSD.   It is used with clients suffering PTSD (soldiers and other types of trauma victims) and has shown to be efficacious through studies.

This technique and site could be useful in a class discussion of PTSD and techniques of Psychotherapy for PTSD.
