Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing Case Study

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapy used to treat panic disorder that reduces the stress. Several studies illustrate the effectiveness and the drawbacks of this physiotherapy.
The first of these studies that the essay will discuss is, called the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Treatment for Panic Disorder with a controlled outcome and partial dismantling. In 1997, Feske et al. conducted a research on the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. 43 patients with panic disorder were chosen as the experiment unit. This allows the research to be generalized, as the sample (which are the participants in this case) will be more representative of the target population who are people suffering
They were randomly assigned to receive 6 sessions of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, either with eye movement or without eye movement or they were in a waiting list. The comparison showed that “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing with eye movement is more effective in
Through a randomized controlled research Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for panic disorder with agoraphobia was compared to waiting list and credible attention-placebo control groups. A control group is a group of participants who do not receive the treatment. The use of control group allows a benchmark to compare the results and see the difference between them. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing was found to be better than waiting list in some stances like questionnaires and diaries. However, it wasn’t helpful for others like panic attack frequency and anxiety cognitions. For Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and the attention-placebo control group, there was no significant difference statistically. “There are established effective treatments such as cognitive-behavior therapy for panic disorder with agoraphobia, these data, unless contradicted by future research, indicate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing should not be the first-line treatment for this disorder.” (Goldstein, et al.) This suggests that there is a better treatment than Eye Movement Desensitization and
