A comparative traumatherapy study: EMDR versus brainspotting

The aim of this study is compare the efficacy of a newly developed therapeutic procedure called Brainspotting with the established EMDR-therapy. Participants who had experienced a traumatic situation and/or are suffering from PTSD or an acute stress syndrome will be treated either with Brainspotting or with EMDR. After three therapy sessions, the outcome of the two procedures will be compared. All therapists involved are experienced trauma therapists who have completed an EMDR training as well as a Brainspotting training (Phase I). The treatment efficacy will be evaluated one week after the last therapy session and at a follow-up assessment (6-months after the last therapy session).
