Abstract

This research projects spans a 6-year period surveying 485 participants’ experiences of eye movement
desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) training in the United Kingdom and Ireland between the periods
of 2005 and 2011. This research used a mixed research methodology exploring EMDR training participants’
application of EMDR within their current clinical practice. The rationale was to explore potential
differences between EMDR-accredited and EMDR-nonaccredited clinicians in relation to retrospective
reports of treatment. Results indicate that EMDR-accredited clinicians report better treatment outcomes.
An argument is presented that EMDR has progressed from a convergent technique to a divergent psychotherapeutic
approach. Consequently, the research explored whether current EMDR training is “fit for
purpose.” A comprehensive model for EMDR training is outlined, proposing the importance of developing
more EMDR training in academic institutions.
