EMDR research perspectie: past, present and future
From past research it is clear that EMDR is effective for PTSD. Both clinicians and researchers have found EMDR to be effective beyond addressing simple PTSD experiences. However, in some treatment guidelines, the evidence for EMDR is still considered shaky in several areas despite some promising research.
These areas include children who have experienced trauma, depression, early interventions, chronic pain and certain types of complex trauma populations such as war veterans. In addition, although it is known that EMDR does not work for everyone, we only have limited clues as to who might respond and who doesn’t. In this talk, recent and future research will be presented that addresses these issues and therefore provide some suggestions for improving everyday practice.
