This psychiatrist tries to cure mental illness with eye wiggles. He says memory of

2. Noga, S. (2001, May 14). Letters: EMDR not hypnosis. Detroit, MI: The Detroit News, No Dot, Letters, 08A.
Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
I am a practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). The writer evidently knows little if anything about EMDR as she claims it is "hypnotic" and leaves clients open to suggestions (of sexual abuse) during the procedure. During the use of EMDR, clients make their own associations to their own thoughts and feelings. It is not the therapists' place to make suggestions of any kind regarding a person's history during the use of EMDR. Further, EMDR is not a hypnotic method.

3. Gormley, T. (2001, May 14). Letters: EMDR therapy works. Detroit, MI: The Detroit News, No Dot, Letters, 08A.
Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an accepted, validated and approved treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder by the APA and solidly based on rigorous, head-to-
head research with various other methods. This research has been published in refereed clinical journals over a number of years, and has proven to produce robust results when compared with other methods. Further, it is not hypnotic: While there is a light trance state induced during the treatment, it is not the same type produced during hypnosis. The associated EEG pattern is different that that of the hypnotic trance.

Abstract:
One appears to be Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an extensively researched therapeutic technique with scientifically proven powerful effects in relieving traumatic memory.
There is brain imaging research that identifies the specific brain activities and changes created by EMDR. And no scientific body has ever found the slightest amount of hypnotic activity to be involved with EMDR therapy as provided by EMDR Institute-trained personnel.
