In EMDR for Trauma: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dr. Francine Shapiro demonstrates her approach to working with clients still experiencing the effects of past traumatic experiences. EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy designated by the American Psychiatric Association as highly effective and empirically supported. The approach is based on an information-processing model of pathology, directly addressing the stored memories of events that cause clinical complaints, the present situations that are disturbing, and experiences necessary for appropriate future functioning. In this session, Dr. Shapiro works with a 42-year-old retired police officer who is having panic attacks. She uses EMDR to help the client process the images, emotions, feelings, and thoughts associated with his job-related trauma. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events, stimulus questions, and notes on previous sessions with the client
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a complex treatment approach that combines salient elements of the major therapeutic schools (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, physiological, and interactional). Although the eye movement stimulation (and other forms of dual stimulation used in the approach) have garnered the most attention professionally and publicly, EMDR actually involves a much broader spectrum of interventions, which are organized into eight phases of therapy.
Francine Shapiro, PhD, is the originator and developer of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and is a senior research fellow at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California. She serves as the executive director of the EMDR Institute in Pacific Grove, California, and of the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program, a nonprofit organization that coordinates disaster response and provides pro bono trainings worldwide.
