EMDR was invented by Francine Shapiro in 1987, the foundation of what became the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) in 1995 with primary objectives “to establish, maintain, and promote the highest standards of excellence and integrity in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) practice, research and education.” According to Shapiro EMD procedure “serves to desensitize anxiety … not to eliminate all PTSD-related symptomatology and complications, nor to provide coping strategies for the victims” and reported “an average treatment time of five sessions” to comprehensively treat PTSD.
