EMDR Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is a psychotherapy approach that is guided by an information processing model.  (Shapiro 2001)

Research has shown that EMDR has been effective when working with trauma and stress responses.  The EMDR approach is integrated into other psychotherapies when appropriate, for example CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. 

EMDR is recommended in NICE guidelines in the NHS for treatment of PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
