Assessment of the appropriateness of EMDR use in sport interventions

Initial research indicated extraordinary efficacy of EMDR interventions with various forms of trauma. As more and more research was undertaken, often by researchers removed from clinical EMDR experience, contradictions emerged and EMDR samples sometimes fared no better than others. Recent research with an athletic population indicated that possible "individual differences" characteristics of potential subjects may account for some of the previous contradictory results. Possible screening devices will be discussed in the context of a successful case study report.
