“…The finding that a single session of EMDR-with EMs reduced self-reported distress associated with negative memories is consistent with Shapiro's (1989) initial findings that introduced the procedure. Current results also support findings by Wilson et al (1996) and Lee and Drummond (2008) who found that a single session of EMDR-with EMs leads to greater reductions in SUDs associated with distressing memories than EMDR-without EMs, and this effect was maintained at follow-up.…”

“…Thus, HyGene places a premium on debiasing maladaptive prepotent responses to stimuli by restructuring statistical relationships maintained in episodic memory. This component of HyGene can be seen as having direct connections to behavioral therapies such as eye movement desensitization therapy (Shapiro, 1989), which aims to change maladaptive prepotent responses to environmental cues.…”

Diagnostic hypothesis-generation processes are ubiquitous in human reasoning. For example, clinicians generate disease hypotheses to explain symptoms and help guide treatment, auditors generate hypotheses for identifying sources of accounting errors, and laypeople generate hypotheses to explain patterns of information (i.e., data) in the environment. The authors introduce a general model of human judgment aimed at describing how people generate hypotheses from memory and how these hypotheses serve as the basis of probability judgment and hypothesis testing. In 3 simulation studies, the authors illustrate the properties of the model, as well as its applicability to explaining several common findings in judgment and decision making, including how errors and biases in hypothesis generation can cascade into errors and biases in judgment.

“…If the assumptions underlying the emotional processing model are correct, this should have the effect of slowing the rate of fear decrement, and yet the rate of fear decrement in EMDR appear to be faster than that found during simple exposure (Rogers et al, 1999;Shapiro, 1989aShapiro, , 1989b.…”

This article presents the well established theoretical base and clinical practice of exposure therapy for trauma. Necessary requirements for positive treatment results and contraindicated procedures are reviewed. EMDR is contrasted with these requirements and procedures. By the definitions and clinical practice of exposure therapy, the classification of EMDR poses some problems. As seen from the exposure therapy paradigm, its lack of physiological habituation and use of spontaneous association should result in negligible or negative effects rather than the well researched positive outcomes. Possible reasons for the effectiveness of EMDR are discussed, ranging from the fundamental nature of trauma reactions to the nonexposure mechanisms utilized in information processing models.
