Abstract:
An information processing therapy that uses bilateral stimulation of the brain to process traumatic reactions and that has proven effective in treating trauma-based conditions. Eye movement desensitization and processing (EMDR) was developed in 1987 by Francine Shapiro. It has been refined over the years into a comprehensive therapy for trauma, although the procedures can also be used to treat clients with other problems and disorders. Since its inception, hundreds of case studies and controlled empirical studies have validated the effectiveness of EMDR for clients with trauma and other clients.

Abstract:
Clinical social worker Jocelyne Shiromoto might have cured a patient's infertility with a few waves of her hand. Shiromoto does not claim her fingers have magic wandlike powers. What she did was a process called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming. Known to practitioners as EMDR, the therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering post-traumatic stress disorder and, increasingly, other forms of anxieties.
