1. Lanius, U. (2005, April). 'Dissociative processes' and EMDR - Staying connected. Presentation at 3rd Annual Conference of the EMDR Association of UK and Ireland, Jordanstown, Northern Ireland .

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract: D
issociative processes, common in a wide variety of psychological disorders (e.g., PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, Dissociative Disorders, etc.) can interfere with effective EMDR treatment. The information processing system gets overwhelmed and shuts down, thereby barring the integration and resolution of traumatic experience. The workshop presents a model, based on recent developments in neuroscience and the neurobiology of dissociation, that guides therapeutic interventions in general and EMDR treatment in particular. Treatment planning, target selection, the use of both body-oriented (bottom-up processing) versus cognitive and ego-state (top-down processing), and other interventions are discussed. Participants will become familiar with specific interventions designed to minimize dissociative symptoms, as well as techniques that aid clients in becoming reconnected once dissociative processes have occurred. A comprehensive therapeutic approach is described that aids clients with dissociative symptoms to stay connected and thereby enhance the likelihood of efficient information processing during EMDR treatment.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Before using the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat an undergraduate student who suffered from AIDS-Hypochondrias is (caused by a traumatic event), stabilization was applied on this patient. It was found that stabilization was very significant in helping the patient to regain security. control and self-management for his emotion. This result was strongly supported by results of two subsequent Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) undergraduate student patients. Moreover, compared to former Panic Attack cases. which were treated by using supportive skills? stabilization was found to be far more effective than supportive skills. It was profoundly effective in helping the patient to be empowered to manage their own emotions and to regain security and control.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Chronc diseases represent a complex area on the health-illness continuum. When a chronic disease is diagnosed, clients may require ongoing support to cope with life changes and management of their health. During this workshop, participants will be introduced to the general aspects of chronic diseases and how clients’psychological symptoms can be understood from the Adaptive Information Processing(AIP) model. Also, EMDR clinicians will learn how to structure an intervention for different types of chronic diseases, using the 8 steps of the Basic Protocol, identifying the key issues for each condition, according to a past-present-future timeline. Examples will be based on cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS cases.
Learning objectives: 1.Identify the challenges associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS 2. Utilize the Adaptative Information Processing (AIP) model to understand the psychological dimension of chronic diseases (e.g. anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, self-image issues, etcetera) 3. Use the EMDR basic protocol to structure interventions suitable for people living with human health conditions.

5. Weston, D. L. (1995, June). EMDR and the issues of gay clients. Presentation at the EMDR Network Conference, Santa Monica, CA.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
EMDR is an effective therapeutic method for working with the emotional issues of gay clients. The first portion of this workshop will examine the "pubic" and "relationship" definitions of homosexuality. Being gay is much more than how people express themselves sexually. A brief historical and cultural kamework for understanding the emotional issues of lesbian I gay persons will be presented. There will be a review of the psychological theories and the research about the origins of homosexuality. The second portion of the workshop will focus on the psychological path of persons recognizing they are gay. The changes in the "pre-stonewall' and "post-stonewall" experience will be highlighted. This review of psychological experience will look at the points where EMDR therapists can be sensitive to the presence of emotional issues related to being gay. Feeling "different" is often a precursor to recognizing that one is gay. It is impossible to grow up in our culture without internalization of negative attitudes about gay people. When an individual recognizes (s)he is lesbian or gay, this negative learning now applies to one's self. EMDR is effective in resolving this "internalized homophobia." "Coming out" to one's self is a shock because, "I am no longer the person I believed myself to be." EMDR helps clients see gayness, not as an event happening in Me at this moment, but as something with a history related to earlier life experiences and feelings. This perception of continuity reduces the sense of crisis around being homosexual. As internalized homophobia is resolved, acceptance and valuing of self increases. Using the EMDR "future template" protocol assists people in preparing to "come out" to family, fiiends, employers, etc. Gay activists suggests that lesbian/gay persons need to be "out" in all situations. EMDR can help people understand why they want to come out to various people in various situations. It assists in idenhfxation of what people want as the result of "coming out." EMDR is effective in workmg with the myths about homosexuality; the cultural homophobia. Among the myths to be focused are: gay men are promiscuous, being gay is immoral, gay sexual expression is perversion, gay relationships don't last, lesbian/gay persons recruit young people, etc. The third portion of this workshop will focus on issues of HIV disease. There will be a brief epidemiological presentation and focus on the medical and psychological issues of persons with HIV disease. Application of EMDR at "crisis points" of HIV disease will be presented: (1) the worried well, a diminishing population as the aids epidmc continues, (2) the time of HIV+ diagnosis when the potential for suicide is highest, (3) the time of the first AIDS defining illness, (4) response to declining health and approaching death, and (5) issues of "meaning" as life moves toward death. EMDR's application in grief and multiple loss will be presented. Our culture's attitude that grief is something to "be resolved" and "get over" is a mistake. Grief is an ongoing process, especially when people are dealing with multiple losses of partners, fiends, etc. EMDR is effective in reducing the pain around loss so that the grief process can proceed more comfortably. The workshop will end with discussion of characteristics which therapists need to evaluate in relation to the decision to work or not work with gay and gay HIV infected clients. Working with gay men leads to working with clients with HIV disease. Therapists need to be clear about their boundaries and comfort in dealing with home and hospital visits, touching people who have AIDS, being present at the death of a client, and other issues that arise in HIVIAIDS care. The rewards of working with this population and the life changes it may make for the therapist will also be highlighted.

8. Vyas, K. J. (2008, April). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to decrease human immunodefiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors among Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). Presentation at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, Salisbury University, MD.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Among Latino MSM, those who have reported early childhood sexual abuse continually report high levels of HIV risk behaviors. The objective of this study was to test if EMDR can be more effective as an HIV risk reduction behavioral intervention than a non-trauma based comparison, the Explore Study intervention. At a university-based outpatient clinic, 35 Latino MSM were randomized into Explore (n=13) and EMDR (n=22). The main outcome measure was a self-report questionnaire assessing unprotected anal sex, number of sexual partners, and use of substances before or during sexual activity during the previous month. Sexual risk behaviors were assessed at baseline, before randomization, and at one week post-intervention. Compared to baseline rates, participants who didn’t report unprotected receptive anal intercourse increased by 11% in Explore and decreased by 12% in EMDR. The corresponding comparisons for number of sexual partners were a 4% increase for Explore and a 41% decrease in EMDR. Explore and EMDR participants showed an increment of 25% and 9%, respectively, in those who denied having used alcohol or drugs before or during sexual activity. Follow-up data at 2 and 6 months post-intervention are being collected. This preliminary analysis suggests that certain HIV risk behaviors can be reduced by EMDR, while others can be equally reduced by more conventional interventions.

Abstract:
This poster will describe a girl who is 13 years of age and how she is living with mother and stepfather, her symptoms and her obsessive thought and actions. The poster will give information about a girl who is a very lively and charming person and who is strongly motivated to get help. There will be information about how the girl's life is strongly influenced by obsessions both thoughts and actions and her symptoms. For example, she feels frequently she must ask whether it will be a fire, if there is any risk for her being contaminated, or if she will get different diseases like AIDS, or even getting pregnant. How the girl thinks she can hurt other persons and that she will get hurt herself. For example the girl has to check and dry off the toilet several times before, leaving, she also thinks she must wash her hands several times a day. She could seldom stay or play with her friends. Further the poster will describe how she enjoys school and feels sorry for having to do all the constant asking and the different rituals - how she understands that it is stupid to go on doing what she does - and that she can not help it. The poster will give examples of targets, how and when the EMDR is used in the treatment. Information on the poster about the treatment, and the experience and effect of the EMDR interventions. This information from the therapeutic process will be separately provided and presented from the girl, the mother and the therapist.

Sertralina vs EMDR: Effetti sul volume ippocampale [Sertraline vs. EMDR: Effects on hippocampal volume]. Poster presentato al XII Congresso SOPSI (Società Italiana di Psicopatologia), Roma, Italia.

Language: Italian

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Molti dati sperimentali hanno mostrato che la terapia farmacologica con SSRI può incrementare il volume dell’ippocampo, invece il solo studio che ha investigato gli effetti di un tipo di psicoterapia (TEB, Terapia Eclettica Breve) non ha evidenziato alcuna efficacia sul volume ippocampale 1. Scopo del nostro studio è valutare gli effetti del trattamento con EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) sul volume ippocampale, sui sintomi e sulle performances mnesiche di pazienti con Disturbo Post-Traumatico da Stress (DPTS). La EMDR è una terapia la cui efficacia nel DPTS è stata dimostrata in numerosi studi sperimentali. Sono stati selezionati 12 soggetti drug-free con diagnosi di DPTS alla SCID-P, senza comorbidità psichiatrica. Ogni soggetto reclutato è stato sottoposto alla prima visita (Tempo 0, Drug-Free) ad una indagine psicometrica (tramite DTS), ad una indagine neuropsicologica (tramite una batteria di test) e alla misurazione dei volumi cerebrali tramite Risonanza Magnetica. Successivamente, i 12 soggetti sono stati attribuiti in maniera random a due diversi protocolli terapeutici. Sei soggetti hanno effettuato 12 sedute di EMDR della durata di 1,5 ore, mentre sei soggetti sono stati trattati con 100 mg di sertralina. Dopo il trattamento (Tempo 1, Post-Terapia) i soggetti sono stati nuovamente sottoposti alle indagini effettuate al Tempo 0. La seconda valutazione al Tempo 1 è stata effettuata dopo tre mesi nei soggetti trattati con EMDR e dopo 6 mesi nei soggetti trattati con la sertralina, in base ai tempi medi necessari per la remissione cilinica del DPTS riportati in letteratura per i due presidi terapeutici. In questo studio verranno presentati i dati relativi alle differenze volumetriche, ai miglioramenti clinici e alla performance mnesica nei due gruppi di soggetti (soggetti sottoposti ad EMDR e soggetti trattati con sertralina) e un dettagliato confronto dei risultati ottenuti.

Many experimental data have shown that drug therapy with SSRIs may increase the volume of the hippocampus, Instead the only study that has investigated the effects of a type psychotherapy (TEB, Brief Therapy Eclectic) showed no no effect on hippocampal volume 1. Purpose of our study was to evaluate the effects of treatment with EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) on hippocampal volume, symptoms and performance mnesic of patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The EMDR is a therapy whose efficacy in PTSD is been demonstrated in numerous experimental studies. Were selected 12 subjects with a diagnosis of drug-free PTSD in the SCID-P, without psychiatric comorbidity. Each recruited subject was submitted to the first visit (Time 0, Drug-Free) at a psychometric investigation (by DTS), a neuropsychological investigation (using a battery test) and measurement of brain volume through Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Subsequently, 12 subjects have been allocated random to two different treatment protocols. Six subjects have carried out 12 sessions of EMDR duration of 1.5 hours, while six patients were treated with 100 mg of sertraline. After treatment (Time 1, Post-Therapy) subjects are were again subjected to the investigations made at the time 0. The second evaluation at Time 1 was made after three months in subjects treated with EMDR and after 6 months in subjects treated with sertraline, based on the average time needed cylinder for the remission of PTSD reported in the literature for the two therapeutic aids. In this study will be presented data on differences displacement, the clinical improvements and performance mnesic in the two groups of subjects (subjects EMDR for patients treated with sertraline) and a detailed comparison of results.

What she did was a process called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming. Known to practitioners as EMDR, the therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering post-traumatic stress disorder and, increasingly, other forms of anxieties.

EMDR can be utilized within a comprehensive framework for the treatment of grief and mourning. EMDR can process the obstacles that can complicate the grief and mourning processes. This seems to facilitate the emergence of positive memories of the deceased, which aids the formation of an adaptive inner representation. The utilization of EMDR within six processes necessary for adaptive assimilation of the loss is described with case examples. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Many children who are adopted due to difficult early circumstances exhibit severe and challenging behaviors due to a history of attachment trauma and loss. This presentation will describe an EMDR Integrative Team Treatment of attachment trauma in children. Integration of family therapy interrupts unhealthy dynamics and increases parents’ compassion and emotional support for their children, allowing them to open up emotionally and resolve trauma and loss with EMDR. Participants will learn to implement EMDR Attachment Resource Development exercises to strengthen the bonds between children and their adoptive parents. They will be able to apply cognitive interweaves to assist children in EMDR reprocessing who are looping, overwhelmed, or dissociating. The use of storytelling aids in accessing preverbal trauma. Preliminary research data will be presented showing positive changes in attachment and decrease in aggression and defiance following EMDR Integrative Team Treatment. The presentation will combine lecture, practicum, and videos.
