The basic purpose of EMDRIA's Special Interest Group ("SIG") Program is to form and maintain forums for open, regular communication among professionals sharing an interest in a particular area of the field and consistent with the objectives of EMDRIA. It is EMDRIA's intent to facilitate the creation and continuation of groups that, in turn, have as their primary intent the easing of interactive communication and other professional activity around a particular topic of special interest to the members of the Special Interest Group.
Special Interest Groups may be proposed and focused around any professional theme: specific target problems, populations or settings, theoretical orientations, professional categories or concerns and /or employment settings. The name of each SIG designates its focal issue. Groups are created and dissolved as particular interests increase or decrease in importance to the membership of the Association. The SIG program is designed to be flexible, and thus quickly respond to new, emerging developments in the field.
Currently, there are ten approved SIGS. They are:
