Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: Een nieuwe behandelingstechniek voor trauma-gerelateerde angstklachten. Over de toepassing bij kinderen Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: A new treatment method for trauma-related anxiety complaints

Describes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a new treatment method for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related anxiety complaints. In their imagination, EMDR patients expose themselves to a traumatic or aversive event while simultaneously engaging in rhythmic lateral eye movements that are induced by the therapist. The use of EMDR in the cases of an 11-yr-old girl with spider phobia and a 10-yr-old boy with PTSD symptoms is discussed.
