摘要:There is increasing attention for embedding research in mental healthcare. This involves a linkage between scientific research and routine practice, where research is fed by questions from practice and scientific insights are implemented better and faster in clinical practice. This paper illustrates bridging the gap, by focusing on eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and provides arguments why it is relevant to connect research and practice. It also discusses why experimental psychopathology may have a substantial contribution.Keywords: Science; practice; EMDR; experimental psychopathology(Published: 13 June 2012)Citation: European Journal of Psychotraumatology 2012, 3: 18740 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/ejpt.v3i0.18740For the abstract or full text in other languages, please see Supplementary files in the column to the right (under Article Tools).
