Abstract EN
This paper described the application of eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) for addressing the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in a Chinese woman who had experienced multiple traumas in her childhood.
EMDR is an integrative therapeutic intervention that uses a standardized eight-phase approach to treatment.
It is also a proven, effective, and efficient treatment for trauma.
In this client with multiple traumas, the etiological event that lay the foundation of her dysfunctional responses was reprocessed first.
The successful resolution of this event allowed the positive treatment effects to transfer to other traumatic events of a similar theme.
This case also illustrates the importance of identifying a culturally appropriate positive cognition (PC) in contributing to the success of the treatment.
