EMDR in der psychotherapie: Einsatzmöglichkeiten, wirksamkeit und begrenzungenEMDR in psychotherapy: Possibilities of use, efficacy and limitations
Description
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR; zu deutsch „Desensibilisierung und Wiederaufarbeitung durch Augenbewegungen“) ist eine psychotherapeutische Behandlungsmethode, die im Grunde genommen aus einer Zufallserkenntnis heraus weiterentwickelt wurde. So beschreibt die US-amerikanische Literaturwissenschaftlerin und Psychologin Francine Shapiro, wie sie 1987 bei einem Spaziergang im Vasona (Lake County) Park in Los Gatos, Kalifornien, erlebt habe, wie sich eigene Ängste bezüglich der bei ihr diagnostizierten Krebserkrankung nach wechselnden Lichtreizen minderten. Dies attribuierte sie mit raschen Augenbewegungen beim Spazierengehen und entwickelte daraus eine eigene Therapiemethode, das sog. EMD . In der Folge wurden die Augenbewegungen um weitere Behandlungselemente erweitert, wie z. B. der Arbeit mit negativen Kognitionen. 1991 wurde dann erstmals der Name EMDR offiziell eingeführt mit dem Ziel, die während der Informationsverarbeitung ablaufenden kognitiven Prozesse (im Sinne der „Information Processing Theory“) zu betonen.
Eye movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR; to German "desensitization and re-processing by eye movements") is a psychotherapeutic treatment method, which has basically been further developed from a random knowledge. For example, the American literary scientist and psychologist Francine Shapiro described how she experienced a walk in the Vasona (Lake County) park in Los Gatos, California in 1987, how her own fears about her diagnosed Decreasing the incidence of cancer after changing light stimuli. This attribuierte her with rapid eye movements while walking and developed an own therapy method, the so-called EMD. As a result, the eye movements were extended by additional treatment elements, such as working with negative cognitions. In 1991, the name EMDR was officially introduced for the first time, with the aim of emphasizing the cognitive processes (in the sense of "information processing theory") that took place during information processing.
