Observations on using EMDR with patients with a history of sadistic and ritual abuse

For some time, therapists have been struggling with the issues of ritual abuse as they have been working with patients having Multiple Personality Disorder. Recently, an number of therapists who have extensive experience working with ritual abuse, particularly with patients who have a Multiple Personalit Disorder, have put together protocols to be used in treating this disorder. In this section, I would like to point out some specific issues, and perhaps some cautions, in our thinking concerning EMDR until we gain some more information and data about its effective usages and recognized side effects.
