    Risks in using EMDR with Borderline Personality Disorder?
    Jeanne Courtney · 5/7/00 at 1:43 pm ET

    Are there any studies that report either successes or unwanted iatrogenic effects when EMDR is used with someone who has borderline traits, eg impulsivity, abandonment fears, chronic suicidal ideation, history of self-destructive behavior, etc? I appreciated reading Dr. Shapiro's cautions about assessing ego strength, but has any work been published about how to make that assessment more specifically with respect to EMDR?
