According to Maier (2012) evidence-based practice is a general plan that strives to improve the way decisions are made amongst professionals with the intentions to implement the best strategy specific for the situation. An evidence based treatment for PTSD is the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a therapy treatment that consists of eight phases. The therapy treatment is designed to desensitize traumatic experiences by combining exposure and side to side eye movements or other stimulation including hand tapping, tones, or buzzers (Jowett et al., 2016). The EMDR psychotherapy does not use verbal communication or psychopharmacology, but rather the patient’s eye movements and recalling emotions related to the event aim to decrease memory of prior traumatic experiences. Jowett et al. (2016) conducted a study on EMDR in adults with PTSD and intellectual disability. It was discovered during post treatment that PTSD symptoms improved amongst all patients. In addition, another study was conducted on active duty service members with PTSD and the effectiveness of EMDR. The PTSD Checklist Military (PCL-M) version was used as a measurement tool in the study. It was concluded that PCL-M significantly improved as a result of using EMDR therapy and individuals who received EMDR treatment received fewer therapy sessions (McLay et al., 2016). Based on this information, EMDR is an effective evidence-based treatment plan that is shown to improve the well-being of individuals with PTSD. Thus, this research evidence assists in improving the outcomes for clients, service providers, and society (Mudford, McNeill, Walton & Phillips, 2012).
