About the Authors

Francine Shapiro was an American psychologist who pioneered eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. In 1987, she discovered that moving her eyes from side to side reduced disturbance from negative thoughts and memories. This breakthrough led Shapiro to develop standardized EMDR procedures to treat trauma which are now used globally. She also authored EMDR and EMDR as an Integrative Psychotherapy Approach.
