Clinical Implications of Current Controversies in EMDR Research (Keynote Session Preview)

Presented by: Chris Lee, Ph.D. The evidence supporting EMDR as a first-line treatment for PTSD is widely endorsed across multiple international guidelines. However, a notable exception is the recommendations published by the APA in 2025. Associate Professor Christopher Lee will explore the reasons behind this discrepancy in this talk. Drawing on his research and the existing literature, he will identify the disorders for which we can confidently assert effective treatment outcomes and areas needing improvement. Additionally, he will analyze which clients may not be appropriate for EMDR, acknowledging legitimate concerns and clarifying misconceptions. These include beliefs such as: EMDR poses risks for suicidal patients, it may compromise legal testimony, it is ineffective for refugees when interpreters are involved, and it does not provide long-term benefits for individuals with complex trauma. Chris Lee, Ph.D. works in private practice and at the University of Western Australia. He is a certified trainer in EMDR. He has published research on personality disorders, depression, and PTSD, including three international multi-centred randomised controlled trials, two in treating complex PTSD and one treating borderline personality disorder. He has received two International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies awards and two EMDRIA awards for research excellence. EMDR Europe also awarded him the inaugural Francine Shapiro award for research excellence, and in 2024, the Jeff Young award for research excellence by the International Society of Schema Therapists.
