Abstract:
f a witness asks for therapy during the
course of prosecution
You must inform the prosecutor and police of the
request.
You must discuss the nature of the therapy with the
prosecutor so decisions may be made on how to proceed.
The prosecutor may object to the use of EMDR to process
memories that are part of the evidence.
The prosecutor may have no objection to the use of
EMDR in developing soothing and safety techniques nor
to its use to reduce anxiety when the witness is in court.
Therapy must not take place before the police have
undertaken a recorded interview.
if new allegations arise in therapy, treatment must stop
so that the witness can make a further statement to the
police. [Excerpt]
