Zur beziehung von EMDR und augenbewegungen - Eine analyse der aktuellen neurobiologischen studienlageOn the relationship between EMDR and eye movements - An analysis of the current state of neurobiological research
Description
EMDR is an effective treatment for people diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. The traditional technique of EMDR combines the activation of distressing reminders with guided rhythmic eye movements. The present article reviews the current state of research on the neurobiological correlates of the eye movements occurring during EMDR. The distinction between saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements allows for detailed analyses of ocular motor connections with cerebral networks of attention, memory and emotion. Possible consequences for research and clinical practice with EMDR are discussed.
