EMDR Therapy Quarterly

And finally… the Winter 2026 edition of the ETQ. Huge apologies for the delay, but I had to recover from a nasty bout of the flu before I could bring all of the articles together.

Looking through the included articles, they truly highlight the rich tapestry of EMDR, from theoretical understanding to practical applications. The lead articles focus on the practical application of using EMDR with people affected by cancer. This is followed by a constructive and insightful discussion in an article about evidence-based practice. Then, an exploration of Adaptive Information Processing, relational processes, and intersubjectivity, ultimately framing EMDR as a mutual biopsychosocial system. Featured articles cover moral injury, Blind-to-Therapist EMDR, the potential uses of Artificial Intelligence in EMDR practice, and the use of the On-the-Spot method as a brief stabilising intervention.

Looking ahead to the Conference in less than two weeks, this event presents a great opportunity to contribute an article to the ETQ. If you are attending the conference either online or in Bristol, you would be the perfect person to write a brief news piece. Check out the writing guidelines here for News items.

There are many events in the world of EMDR and trauma each year. Reporting on presentations given by leaders in the field is of professional interest to all practitioners and is therefore prioritised in the Journal.

News items are generally between 500 and 2000 words in length. Authors should include the published title of the event and the name and designation of the speakers, presenters and facilitators. The content should reflect the main points made by speakers so that readers who were unable to be present are afforded an idea of the topics discussed by presenters and any practice innovations outlined, questions raised, etc. References and quotes should be used wherever possible to reinforce points made by authors.

If you need more information or have an idea for a conference presentation you’d like to write about, feel free to email me at editor@emdrassociation.org.uk or speak to me at the conference.

Equally, if you have a different article in mind, perhaps a review, a case study, small research project, service evaluation, or practice-based article, then please send me the manuscript or get in touch to discuss further. Details on the different articles and author guidelines are available here. You will find that the ETQ is a supportive, kind and inclusive publication.
