Abstract

The practice of psychological intervention should be based on the best scientific evidence about its efficacy. The objective of this study was to analyze the attitude, validity and scientific domain possessed by the psychotherapy of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) based on a scientific realism approach proposed by Bunge in his comparison table of scientific attitudes and pseudoscientific. The methodological design included linguistic and cultural adaptation, content validation with the criteria of judges, from the Bunge table; the bibliographic search of articles between 2016-2020, in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, with experimental and quasi-experimental study designs related to EMDR. The findings evidenced 2417 publications, 38 of which meet the criteria indicated, where it is indicated that EMDR reflects the criteria to be considered a science, sustaining its effectiveness.
