Re: [tips] New advances in eye movement therapy
I wouldn't say the only problem with the claims of OEI is lack of peer review. For one example, this cut and paste from the website is, to me, devoid of meaning: "In contrast, in OEI clients actually observe changes in cognitions, emotions, and physical sensations, depending on which eye they cover. In that way, they cannot discount the duality of experience, and discover that one of the “observations” is a distortion. This leads to “mentalizing” (standing back and reflecting on the disparate experiences from a higher-order self). For clients with a great deal of emotional lability, this is an entirely new experience." --Mike --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

RE: [tips] New advances in eye movement therapy
It seems we need to either refine our rubric so that it makes less Type I and
Type II errors in identifying pseudoscience or accept the possibility that this
could be an effective therapy. Some things I have noticed it missing are any
peer reviewed publications (a member of an organization could probably give a
presentation on ham sandwiches at many conferences). The research is based
entirely on conference presentations and theses and not a single peer-reviewed
reference, however, in looking at the research presented, the authors do seem
to make an effort to do research on the topic using random assignment. If I
remember correctly, the effectiveness of EMDR was not related specifically to
the eye movement. Possibly, these counselors just stumbled upon another way to
do the same thing.

Here is the danger of this stuff. I have my students do a website evaluation
exercise. If they used the criteria that I provide them with they would think
this was the best new thing since cats' pajamas. Sigh. How would a normal,
layperson know
That's what is scary because even an educated person would find nothing here
that suggests it is bogus. My only criterion: in all of their research on the
link there is NOTHING published. They have a very lengthy list of conference
presentations, mostly at trauma-related organizations but I did see one at WPA.
Sigh again.

If you thought EMDR was an advance, well we now have something better:
OEI (One Eye integration Therapy).
Yes its true. OEI therapy only needs to use one eye, so maybe its twice as good
as EMDR!
At any rate, here's what some 'observers' have said:
"... OEI is like a combination of EMDR, Educational Kinesiology ('Brain Gym'),
and Gendlin's Focusing." (https://www.sightpsych.com/) (It seems that they now
prefer Observed and Experiential Integration).
There's a nice picture of the discoverer of this breakthrough (Audrey
Cooke) and her business partner (Bradshaw) at the bottom.
Audrey also works with multigenerational trauma in case you need some help with
that.
Here's an excerpt from some promotional literature from Trinity Western (a
Canadian University)
"The success of OEI lies in its ability to deal with these long-hidden memories
and traumas. Throughout sessions, clients are encouraged to override
appropriate social norms and behaviors, allowing themselves t express emotions
and memories more primitively. In some instances, patients have had startling
physical responses. Bradshaw recalls a woman who was choked unconcsious by a
relative on several occasions as a child. 'As we connected with the event
visually using OEI, the marks on her neck showed the hand-prints of her
abuser.'" (Conscientia: The research publication of Trinity Western University,
2009, pg. 5).
There's just so much in this therapy it's wonderful. Talk about
cross-discipline integration!
Maybe good for your critical thinking class Annette. And we could be witnessing
the birth of a new cult.

Re: [tips] New advances in eye movement therapy
This is not new. In Hunza yoga there are many forms of eye exercises that are not just meant to strenghten the eyes but affects brain factors,You may want to check out a work EYE AND BRAIN.The eye is unique in a sense that each eye has two sections and the right section of each eye goes to the left hemisphere and the left section of each eye goes to the right hemisphere..I am a strong believer that reducing tension on the very fine muscles of the face is the key to physiological and behavioral serenity.
