- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) on post-traumatic growth (PTG). This study was conducted using a sample of five survivors of a major shipping disaster that occurred in the Yellow Sea, South Korea, in April 2014. A total of eight EMDR sessions were administered by a single clinician at two-week intervals over a period of five months, starting six weeks after the accident. Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Stress-Related Growth Scale (SRGS), Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were measured before treatment, after sessions 1, 3, 5, and 7, and after treatment completion. After EMDR therapy, significant increases were observed in PTG-associated PTGI and SRGS scores, and in the resilience-associated CD-RISC score. However, the observed decrease in the PTSD-associated CAPS score was not significant. The PTGI (ES=2.40) and SRGS (ES=2.70) effect sizes were larger than those of CAPS (ES=0.71) and CD-RISC (ES=0.37). EMDR therapy helped to facilitate each subject’s PTG, although the EMDR was not modified to improve PTG and a standard protocol was used. EMDR can be separately effective for improving PTG regardless of PTSD. EMDR is a reliable method of facilitating PTG.
