“…The third finding showed that EMDR therapy has a significant effect on reducing suicidal ideation in female victims of child abuse. This finding was in line with studies by Spector & Kremer (2009) and Goodnight et al (2019). In explaining these findings, it can be said that in EMDR therapy, one standard three-pronged protocol involves the entire process of treatment.…”

“…The importance of trauma experience processing in reducing PTSD is also confirmed in the theoretical model of this disorder (Ehring et al, 2014). The therapeutic plan can not only help patients observe a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms, but also resolve cognitive obstacles and other symptoms of disorders such as depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation (Spector, Kremer, 2009;Goodnight, Ragsdale, Rauch, & Rothbaum, 2019).…”

Child maltreatment is a global public health concern since it causes severe and long-term effects on mental and physical health that can prolong into adulthood (Mills et al., 2013).

“…In an editorial entitled “Can EMDR be used for those who have suicidal thoughts?” Spectorj and Krermers stated that, this method can be useful in treating suicidal thoughts. Although, issues such as identifying suicidal ideation, therapist safety, and ceasing EMDR when the patient becomes restless must be addressed 40. In this study, much of the risk involved in treating patients with suicidal ideation was greatly mitigated by working with hospital in-patients.…”

ObjectiveDepression is a major risk factor for suicide and more than 90% of people who attempt suicide suffer from depression. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy on the severity of suicidal thoughts in patients with major depressive disorder.Study designRandomized Clinical Trial.MethodsThis clinical trial was performed on 70 people with major depressive disorder who exhibited suicidal thoughts. The patients were selected via convenience sampling and were randomly divided into control (n=35) and experimental (n=35) groups. EMDR was performed individually in the experimental group for 45–90 min, 3 days per week, on alternate days, for 3 weeks (9 sessions in total), whereas the controls group received routine treatment without intervention. Both groups completed the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI) at pre- and post-test. The obtained data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 22 (α=0.05).ResultsMean BSSI score for the experimental group was reduced significantly at post-test (11.11±4.15) compared to pre-test (26.48±5.74) (p<0.001). Although the control group’s mean BSSI score was also reduced at post-test (24.93±4.42) compared to pre-test (26.68±5.05), this difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05).ConclusionEMDR therapy has been shown in this study to reduce the severity of suicidal feelings. Therefore, it can be recommended as an alternative treatment method for reducing the severity of suicidal thoughts in patients with major depressive disorder.
