  • Patent number: 5619291
    Abstract: A patient-user interactive psychotherapy apparatus for use in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing treatment is disclosed. The psychotherapy apparatus includes a pair of visual displays, each for displaying an image having an emotional impact on a particular patient-user. The visual displays are positioned horizontally spaced from one another in the patient-user's field of view. The visual displays are each operable between two operational states including: a first operational state, wherein the image is highly, visually perceptible by the patient-user; and a second operational state, wherein the image is less visually perceptible by the patient-user. A pair of hand held switch inputs for switching between the two operational states of each visual display is also provided. In use, the patient-user alternately actuates the hand held switch inputs which causes the image to be alternately displayed as a highly, visually perceptible image in a back and forth manner on the two visual displays.
