Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as a therapy for rape victims: A case series.

A case series was conducted on three rape victims who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) was employed to reduce their risk of suicide or suicidal ideations. EMDR can be an effective treatment to reduce the level of suicidal ideation in rape victims. © 2022 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
