EMDR: Trauma Therapy Powertool. Ben Franklin Summit for Clinical Excellence. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful and effective therapy for treating trauma-based problems. This revolutionary therapy has helped thousands of people recover from such traumas as war, accidents, assaults, disasters and childhood abuse. In addition to the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, EMDR is also used to treat the psychological effects of smaller traumas that manifest as symptoms of depression, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, creativity blocks and relationship difficulties. There are more controlled research studies on EMDR for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder than any other therapy-most with positive results. Dr. Parnell will describe EMDR’s discovery and development, EMDR’s theoretical model, the structure of an EMDR processing session, and present cases from her books. A brief question and answer session will conclude the presentation. http://www.bfisummit.com/chicago-illnois-2010.html
