The results of the therapy are non-specific, especially if directed eye movements are irrelevant to the results. When these movements are removed, what remains is a broadly therapeutic interaction and deceptive marketing. [19] [57] According to Yale neurologist Steven Novella:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: a back and forth eye movement that helps patients process traumatic events. Acceptance and commitment therapy: focuses on accepting the traumatic event rather than challenging it. [11] CBT is strongly recommended for treatment of PTSD by the American Psychological Association. [12]
Trauma-focused psychotherapies for PTSD (also known as "exposure-based" or "exposure" psychotherapies), such as prolonged exposure therapy (PE), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive-reprocessing therapy (CPT) have the most evidence for efficacy and are recommended as first-line treatment for PTSD by almost all ...
Visual schema displacement therapy (VSDT) is a therapeutic approach developed to mitigate distressing memories and trauma. [1] [2] [3] It shares some similarities with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), as both techniques seek to facilitate the reprocessing of memories by reducing emotional disturbances, in line with the adaptive information processing model.
Reiki, a Japanese touch technique, deals with movement of hands on the body and is often used for stress reduction. [10] Massage therapy involves kneading different parts of the body with some pressure. [11] This form of touch therapy breaks down tissue tensions, and restores normal lengths to the tendons, thus reducing stress. [10]
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy Francine Shapiro (February 18, 1948 – June 16, 2019) was an American psychologist and educator who originated and developed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a form of psychotherapy for resolving the symptoms of traumatic and other disturbing life experiences.
While TF-CBT has been shown to be just as effective as Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for the treatment of chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults, the results were tentative given low numbers in the studies, high drop out rates, and high risk of experimenter bias. [31]
For example, in the Netherlands, patients responded better to PE than to eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment. [13] 6 month follow ups revealed that PE had also lessened psychotic and schizophrenic issues. [13] Furthermore, the symptoms of a small group of female methadone users in Israel had decreased after PE ...
