    Adaptive Information Processing is a a theory put forward to explain what we see in EMDR. There is a hypothesized information processing system that tends toward healing once unblocked. No surprise there - the body tends to push slivers out too.

    So its hypothetical at this point. But its not alone. See for example Daniel Siegal's book "the Developing Mind,"

    Only time and research will tell whether the AIP theory is supported on a scientific level of explanation.

    Those of us who practice EMDR all day every day find that it fits what we see. And there is research all ready that supports the technique of EMDR, so we know its not a placebo.

    PS. We do ask professionals to post by their names here, if you are one. We find it keeps people behaving professionally.
