The EMDR method is a psycho-physiological method developed in 1989 by the American psychiatrist Francino Saphiro. Known as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, this method can only be taught through trainers authorized by the European Organization for EMDR.
Malak Karimova, Coordinator of the Department of Psychology at Khazar University and Head of the Psychological Assistance Center, also participated in the first module of the international training provided by Asena Yurtsever, Turkish representative for EMDR.
The method is used for the treatment of mental disorders, and especially treatment of distress associated with traumatic memories, and shows positive results in a short time.
