Online collection is on PTSD eye therapy

Description

Northern Kentucky University recently unveiled the Francine Shapiro Library, an online collection of nearly 4,000 citations to writings about a form of psychotherapy called Eye-Movement-Desensitization-Reprocessing (EMDR).

EMDR treats post-traumatic stress disorder, according to the EMDR International Association Web site. Eye movement is thought to be involved in the brain's memory processes. To treat the disorder, EMDR's patients watch the rapid movement of a clinician's finger while recalling a traumatic event.
