Abstract:
The purpose of the current research was to examine the effectiveness of eye movement
desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for decreasing of deterministic thinking among
couples. Deterministic thinking is an absolute thought to ignore any probability in incidents
and their inferences. It is one of the most important cognitive distortions to sabotage martial
satisfaction of couples. Twenty couples were involved in this study who to come for
consultation centers from three areas of Tehran (Iran). They were randomly assigned to the
experimental and control groups. The experimental group was exposed to emdr in five weekly
1.5 hour sessions. The dependent variable of this research was evaluated through
questionnaire of deterministic thinking (younesi &mirafzal 2007) before and after the
treatment. Then the data was analyzed through using an an COVA analysis. The results
indicated that the EMDR was effective for decreasing deterministic thinking of couples.
