The legend of EMDR

Some psychological and physical traumatisms can have psychological and physical after effects which persist and are very difficult to cure. In 1987, an American student, Francine Shapiro discovered EMDR, a new therapeutic process that is now recommended as a front line treatment for trauma. Dr Roger Solomon, a well known psychologist in the United States, uses EMDR with very varied traumas, such as SHOAH trans-generational after effects, on Dr Michel Meignant, the film director. Others French, American (including Francine Shapiro), Canadian and Israeli practitioners give their point of view on the discovery of EMDR and how it operates. This film is a real and moving therapeutic demonstration of EMDR efficiency.
