Francine Shapiro

description Francine Shapiro Overview

Francine Shapiro was an American psychologist who developed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly known as EMDR, after observations she reported making in 1987. EMDR is a structured psychotherapy in which patients recall distressing experiences while attending to bilateral stimulation, often guided eye movements. The method became especially associated with the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and generated extensive clinical research as well as debate about how its therapeutic effects should be explained.
