Abstract

RiassuntoÈ possibile recuperare una memoria perduta? Questo intervento intende riaffermare alcuni elementi metodologici perché la pratica psicologica sia scientificamente qualificata. Si discutono importanti questioni circa l’impatto di Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing sulla memoria autobiografica umana, esaminando vantaggi e svantaggi della tecnica. I dati oggi disponibili (a) non consentono di sostenere l’esistenza di un’abilità di recupero di memorie rimosse, (b) sostengono l’implementazione di EMDR in caso di Disturbo Post-Traumatico da Stress e (c) richiedono cautela circa l’implementazione della tecnica in altri contesti di intervento.Le implicazioni riguardano la comunità scientifica, la pratica clinica e quella psicoforense. AbstractIs it possible to recover a lost memory? This discussion aims to reaffirm some methodological elements for the psychological practice, to be scientifically qualified. Important questions about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing impact on human autobiographical memory are discussed, examining advantages and disadvantages of the technique. Available data (a) do not support the existence of a human ability to recover repressed memories, (b) support the EMDR implementation in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and (c) call for caution regarding the technique implementation in other intervention contexts.Implications concern the scientific community and the clinical and psycho-forensic practice.
