Abstract

This review paper introduces EMDR, a new emerging psychotherapeutic approach for posttraumatic stress disorder: how it has been developed, how its typical session consists of, and what past researches on its effectiveness and mechanism tell us today. There is now a compelling evidence that EMDR may be effective and more over efficient for individuals with PTSD. However, its superiority to other established psychotherapy such as exposure therapy remain unceratin and presently suggested mechanisms of action is putative at most. Nonetheless, considering its cost-effectiveness and efficiency over other well-established treatment, future of EMDR is quite promising. Finally, suggestions for further research were made.
