What was the name originally given in 1995 to the framework currently known as the Adaptive Information Processing model that is used to help explain symptom development and the observed treatment effects of EMDR on those symptoms?
- Articulated Intuitive Processing model
- Accelerated Information Processing model
- Aggravating Information Processing model

In the Lee and Drummond (2008) article, Effects of eye movement versus therapist instruction on the processing of distressing memories, it was determined that eye movements
- Are unimportant in the process of disturbance
- Are more important than therapist instructions in reducing disturbance
- Cause a “distancing effect”
- B and c above

Published research has shown positive results when comparing EMDR to which of the following psychotropic medications?
- Fluoxetine
- Citalopram
- Prazosin
- A and b above
Correct Answer

A. A and b above

Explanation

The correct answer is "a and b above" because published research has shown positive results when comparing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to both Fluoxetine and Citalopram, which are psychotropic medications commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. EMDR is a psychotherapy approach that has been found to be effective in treating trauma-related conditions, and it has been shown to be as effective as medication in some cases. Prazosin, on the other hand, is not a psychotropic medication commonly used for treating depression or anxiety disorders, so it is not included in the comparison.

Correct Answer

A. Desensitization to information processing

Explanation

The change from EMD to EMDR denotes a shift of emphasis from desensitization to information processing. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which suggests that the focus is not only on desensitizing the individual but also on processing the information related to the traumatic event. This implies that EMDR aims to help individuals process and integrate the traumatic memories, thoughts, and emotions, rather than simply desensitizing them to the distressing stimuli.
