Efficient Therapies of PTSD (Figley, 1995)
EMDR is one of a wide variety of methods under • Eye Movement Desensitization and
the rubric of “Power Therapies” that target
specific issues and problems, aimed at rapid Reprocessing (EMDR)
resolution. • Thought Field Therapy (TFT)
These methods generally employ attunement to • Visual/Kinesthetic Dissociation (V/KD)
