abstract="Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is gaining acceptance as efficacious treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder for individuals but not for couples. This article reports three case studies of couples in which EMDR is combined with Gestalt therapy in a single session to resolve relational trauma effects, increase empathy and awareness in the supportive partner, and deepen intimacy within the couple. Case studies are described, and implications for research and clinical applications are discussed.<p />",
