Treatment of Psychosomatic Disorders - Psychotherapy with Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Dysfunctional stored memory information is a possible cause of psychosomatic disorders. EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is based on the Adaptive Information Processing Model. This psychotherapeutic approach can be used to treat psychosomatic disorders to activate the pathogenic information and convert it from a dysfunctional to an adaptive state. EMDR has been scientifically proven for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorders, while the treatment of psychosomatic disorders is a new field of application. Recently, studies have documented the effectiveness of EMDR with migraine headaches, skin diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain syndrome, and phantom limb pain.
