Dr. Debra Mandel received specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), a therapy approach particularly beneficial to trauma and brainwashing patients. Her twenty years of clinical experience has included duty at hospitals where she treated individuals and facilitated groups for patients with eating disorders, Multiple Personality Disorders, and histories of severe abuse. Many of these patients had developed disorders in reaction to sophisticated brainwashing techniques used by cult leaders.
