Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in Alcohol Dependent Patients

Alcohol Dependence Clinical Trial

Official title:
From Feasibility to Efficacy: the Use of EMDR to Reduce Craving and Drinking Behaviour in Alcohol Dependent Outpatients - A Multiple Baseline Study and Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

Clinical Trial Summary

One interesting approach to the treatment of addiction is the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (Shapiro, 1989). Although research on the feasibility and efficacy of EMDR on addiction is limited and often lacks methodological rigor, the results are promising and suggest that further research on this subject is warranted.

This proposal consists of two studies to test and determine the acceptability, feasibility and efficacy of EMDR as an intervention to reduce craving and alcohol use in alcohol dependent outpatients as well as to gain further understanding in underlying working mechanisms.
