I sit in for Dr. Shapiro while she is on sabbatical. There are no controlled studies on the use of EMDR with OCD, but there are some anecdotal case reports supporting its use, especially in combination with well established exposure and response prevention procedures. The EMDR is added to desensitize urges to engage in the rituals, as well as to identify and gets shifts in the negative self statements that may underlie OCD concerns. The name most associated with this protocol is Marcia Whisman, MSW, of St. Louis. Others have taken her workshop to learn the protocol.
