Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Numerous methods have attempted to repair distress remaining from very early trauma (especially adoption) or neglect, but most have been difficult, cumbersome, even traumatic. The presenter will describe and demonstrate a direct, simple, safe and incredibly effective EMDR
extension, which is based on our current scientific knowledge of early brain development. Participants will (1) learn how to be able to adapt the Basic EMDR protocol when treating preverbal experiences with infants, children, adolescents and adults; (2) what language to use when accessing and repairing preverbal experiences: (3) be able to use "imaginative
interweaves" to stimulate release of trapped energy and fully learn from the experience; (4) learn to use the 3 R's (Review, Release, Repair) to ensure that reprocessing of preverbal material is complete.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate the clinical pattern of
14 youths with presenting suicidality, to describe an integrative treatment
approach, and to estimate therapy effectiveness. Fourteen patients aged 10
to 18 years from a child and adolescent outpatient clinic in Stockholm were
followed in a case series. The patients were treated with active multimodal
psychotherapy. This consisted of mood charting by mood-maps,
psycho-education, wellbeing practice and trauma resolution. Active
techniques were psychodrama and body-mind focused techniques including eye
movement desensitization and reprocessing. The patients were assessed before
treatment, immediately after treatment and at 22 months post treatment with
the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale. The clinical pattern of the
group was observed. After treatment there was a significant change towards
normality in the Global Assessment of Functioning scale both immediately
post-treatment and at 22 months. A clinical pattern, post trauma suicidal
reaction, was observed with a combination of suicidality, insomnia, bodily
symptoms and disturbed mood regulation. We conclude that in the post trauma
reaction suicidality might be a presenting symptom in young people. Despite
the shortcomings of a case series the results of this study suggest that a
mood-map-based multimodal treatment approach with active techniques might be
of value in the treatment of children and youth with suicidality.

Findings by SBU Alert,
Version: 1,
METHOD AND TARGET GROUP:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a new psychotherapeutic method aimed at processing memories of traumatic events, thereby ameliorating the psychological consequences of these memories. EMDR involves elements from several different psychological approaches. It is uncertain which of the treatment elements are effective. Clients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are the main target group for EMDR treatment. Although both children and adults have been treated with EMDR, this document is aimed particularly at children and adolescents.
PATIENTS BENEFITS, RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS:
Published studies of EMDR mainly cover adults with PTSD. There are two randomized and controlled studies, one of which has yet to be published, of EMDR treatment in 47 children and adolescents. One of the studies suggests that EMDR yields a better treatment outcome in the short term compared to the control treatment (active listening). In the second study, no significant difference was found between EMDR treatment in combination with standard treatment and standard treatment alone as regards reduction in avoidance and invading thoughts. However, the PTSD symptom of behavioral disorders declined significantly in the EMDR group. Furthermore, numerous case studies suggest that EMDR has a positive treatment effect in children and adolescents with PTSD. No harmful effects have been reported.
ECONOMIC ASPECTS:
There are no economic assessments of EMDR. Limited data suggest that fewer treatments are needed to achieve the desired outcome with EMDR compared to other psychotherapeutic methods. This suggests that EMDR is a potentially cost-effective method in relation to the alternatives, under the assumption that the effects of treatment are permanent.
CURRENT SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE:
There is moderate* scientific evidence to show the benefits of EMDR treatment in children and adolescents. There is no* documentation concerning the cost-effectiveness or effects beyond 6 months.
Since the scientific documentation is limited, the effects of EMDR treatment in both the short and long term should be compared in studies with other treatment alternatives, including standard treatment. Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of the method should be studied under Swedish conditions.
*This assessment by SBU Alert uses a 4-point scale to grade the quality and evidence of the scientific documentation. The grades indicate: (1) good, (2) moderate, (3) poor, or (4) no scientific evidence on the subject.
This summary is based on a report prepared at SBU in collaboration with Kerstin Bergh Johannesson, Lic. Psychol., Akademiska Hospital, Uppsala and has been reviewed by Prof. Mats Fredriksson, Uppsala University, Uppsala.

Abstract:
El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo general, verificar si la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual individual, grupal y EMDR disminuyen la ansiedad en adolescentes de 11 a 13 años del 8º año de Educación Básica de la Red Educativa Helena Cortes Bedoya, Sector Carapungo de la ciudad de Quito, en el año lectivo 2006-2007. Se tomó como referencia que la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual , es el conjunto de técnicas terapéuticas que han resultado del empleo sistemático del método experimental en la Psicología y demás disciplinas afines, empleados con el propósito de modificar pensamientos y conductas desadaptativas .
En tanto que EMDR consiste en la Desensibilización y Reprocesamiento por medio del Movimiento Ocular u otras estimulaciones bi-hemisféricas especialmente para trabajar sobre recuerdos traumáticos.
La investigación a realizarse fue de tipo explicativo con diseño cuasi- experimental con un grupo de sujetos estimado del 30 al 50 % del total de la población de adolescentes evaluados con el test ISRA-J.
Con ISRAJ (Inventario de Situaciones y Respuestas de Ansiedad – Jóvenes ) se evaluó a 70 estudiantes de 8º Año de Educación Básica obteniendo 14 con alto nivel de ansiedad, a los cuales se les invitó a participar en el taller “ Jóvenes en Aprendizaje” durante 12 sesiones.
Al grupo se realizó la evaluación pre y post tratamiento, para verificar si la Terapia Cognitivo Conductual individual y en grupo + EMDR, son efectivos para bajar niveles de ansiedad y considerando el género saber que grupo fue beneficiado en mayor medida.
Verificada su efectividad, el programa anteriormente señalado, se aplicará para bajar niveles de ansiedad a todos los adolescentes que luego de ser evaluados con el test ISRAJ obtenga un puntaje directo de 51 a 75, con indicación de tratamiento necesario y de 76 a 100 con necesidad de terapia urgente.
The present research aimed generally verify whether cognitive behavioral therapy individual, group and EMDR decrease anxiety in adolescents 11 to 13 years of Grade 8 Basic Education Educational Network Helena Cortes Bedoya, Sector Carapungo of Quito, in the academic year 2006-2007. The reference used was that cognitive behavioral therapy, is the set of therapeutic techniques that have resulted from the systematic use of the experimental method in psychology and other disciplines, employees with the aim of changing maladaptive thoughts and behaviors.
While EMDR is Desensitization and Reprocessing Eye Movement or other bi-hemispheric stimulation specifically to work on traumatic memories.
The research was carried out explanatory type quasi-experimental design with a group of subjects estimated 30 to 50% of the total population of adolescents assessed with the ISRA-J test.
With ISRAJ (Inventory of Situations and Responses of Anxiety - Young) was assessed 70 students from Year 8 Basic Education getting 14 with high anxiety, to which were invited to participate in the workshop "Young People in Learning" for 12 sessions.
The group evaluation was performed before and after treatment, to verify if the individual and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy + EMDR group, are effective in lowering anxiety levels and considering the genre know that group was benefited most.
Verified its effectiveness, the program noted above will apply to lower levels of anxiety to all adolescents be evaluated after the test will score ISRAJ live 51 to 75, indicating the necessary treatment and from 76 to 100 with need Urgent therapy.

Abstract:
Damage occurs to a child’s self in the context of relationship when raised in an environment of abuse and neglect. This damage to self is manifested through disruptions in development. A child or adolescent will be unable to perform tasks a non-traumatized child or adolescent has not difficulty mastering. These tasks may be physical, emotional, intellectual, sexual, social, or spiritual. When these disruptions become manifest in the environment with which the child or adolescent is interacting, home, school, or community, conflict arises. The conflict is both internal with self and external in relationship, behavioral, and biological. This is generally when a child or adolescent is brought into therapy for intervention Caregivers are not always aware of the impact traumatic events have on a child’s life or may not want to deal with the impact and the long term implications. The therapeutic relationship is a context outside of the system where the child was traumatized that provide the potential environment and relationship which can facilitate healing for the child, adolescent, and possible, the system in which they live.
Children and adolescents with a complex PTSD will often employ the use of dissociation as a way to cope with overwhelming events or chronically dysfunctional lifestyles. The degree and way in which the child dissociates to self regulate internal systems will determine behavioural and neurological trajectories in their life such as, how the child will cope, rupture of developmental task attainment, and it will determine what type of attachment process the child experiences. Also determined are: impulse control, sleep regulation, meta cognitive functioning, neurobiological processes and the integrative processes of self. When there is no therapeutic intervention, the self which emerges as a result of these processes is a “traumatic self” organization, that is a self structural in response to traumatic experience determined to avoid the repetition of the traumatic experience “at all costs.” The biological body that emerges is the traumatized body organized for avoidance in the forms of fighting, fleeing, or freezing and submitting.
The assessment phase of therapy will map for the therapist and client where the internal dysregulation occur, what are the maladaptive response which have been developed, and what the negative beliefs are which all contribute to the construction of the “traumatic self." There are a variety of assessment tools specifically designed for this purpose.
Once the map is established, a plan can be developed to use with children and adolescents and family for therapy and for EMDR. There are a variety of models which have been developed to use with children and adolescents to process bad memories, negative cognitions and to strengthen internal resources. EMDR can also be used to facilitate state change, strengthen self regulatory capacities, and promote integrative processes of authentic self, facilitating healing throughout self, body, and relational systems.

Abstract:
Objectives: To test (1) whether eye movements during retrieval of emotional memories are followed by less vividness and less emotionality of future recollections, (2) whether this effect, if present, is stronger than the effects of a control activity (finger tapping), (3) whether the alleged effects of tapping and eye movements are stronger than a no-movement, control condition (mere imagery), (4) whether reductions in vividness and emotionality after eye movements (and finger tapping) are specific to negative memories or also occur in the case of positive memories. Method: 60 healthy volunteers recalled either positive or negative memories and scored the vividness and emotionality of the recollections. Next, memories were recalled whilst the participant was performing rapid eye movements, finger tapping, or not performing a dual task. Then participants were asked to recall the event again and to rate its vividness and emotionality. Results: Compared to finger tapping and the no-dual-task condition, recollections after eye movements made future recollections less vivid. After eye movements, but not after the other interventions, negative memories became less negative, and positive memories became less positive. Conclusion: The findings show that eye movements not only reduce vividness and emotionality of memories during the eye moving, but also affect future recollections, during which no eye movements are made. Some theoretical explanations are discussed. As to clinical implications, it is suggested that if there is a role for eye-movement-based treatments, it is very limited. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
En rapport från det svenska rådet för medicinsk utvärdering (SBU) har gått igenom, klassificeras och utvärderas den vetenskapliga litteraturen om behandling av panik-syndrom, specifika fobier, social fobi, tvångssyndrom syndrom (OCD), generaliserat ångestsyndrom (GAD) och posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). Översynen ingår behandling av barn, ungdomar och vuxna. Rapportens slutsats är att det finns effektiv behandling tillgänglig för alla ångest syndrom. Men i allmänhet, är effekten ofta måttliga och symtomen återkommer när behandlingen perioden avbryts. För vuxna, stödjer vetenskapliga bevis användning av paroxetin och sertralin för alla syndrom utom specifika fobier. För övriga SSRI-preparat Det finns också bevis för användning av Fluoxetin i OCD och PTSD, för fluvoxamin i social fobi och tvångssyndrom och för escitalopram i social fobi. Andra antidepressiva läkemedel med ett starkt vetenskapligt stöd är venlafaxin i social fobi och GAD, imipramin i panik syndrom och chlomipramine i panik syndrom och tvångssyndrom. Bland de psykologiska behandlingar, det finns vetenskapliga bevis för kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) för behandling av panik-syndrom, specifika fobier, social fobi, PTSD och GAD. Exponering, med eller utan andra psykoterapeutiska interventioner har vetenskapligt stöd för effekt vid paniksyndrom (både i termer av antalet panikattacker och agorafobi för), specifika fobier, tvångssyndrom och PTSD. Användning av ögonrörelser desensibilisering och upparbetning (EMDR) har vetenskapligt stöd för behandling av PTSD.
A report by the Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU) has reviewed, classified and evaluated the scientific literature on treatment of panic syndrome, specific phobias, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive syndrome (OCD), generalized anxiety syndrome (GAD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The review included treatment of children, adolescents and adults. The report concludes that there is effective treatment available for all anxiety syndromes. However in general, the effect is often moderate and symptoms reappear when the treatment period is discontinued. For adults, scientific evidence supports the use of paroxetine and sertraline for all syndromes except specific phobias. For the other SSRI's there is also evidence for the use of fluoxetin in OCD and PTSD, for fluvoxamine in social phobia and OCD and for escitalopram in social phobia. Other antidepressant drugs with a strong scientific support is venlafaxin in social phobia and GAD, imipramin in panic syndrome and chlomipramine in panic syndrome and OCD. Among psychological treatments, there is scientific evidence for cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for treatment of panic syndrome, specific phobias, social phobia, PTSD and GAD. Exposure, with or without other psychotherapeutic interventions, has scientific support for efficacy in panic disorder (both in terms of number of panic attacks and for agoraphobia), specific phobias, OCD and PTSD. Use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has scientific support for treatment of PTSD.

Based on a systematic literature search, the current state of knowledge on the efficacy of psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatment of posttraumatic stress disorders in children and adolescents is summarized and reviewed. Nineteen randomized controlled clinical trials were found for psychotherapy, and none for pharmacotherapy. The efficacy of cognitive behavioral treatment programs has been substantiated, with the participation of a parent or caretaker in the treatment seeming to be beneficial. There are promising studies for Eye Movement Desensitizafion and Reprocessing (EMDR) and for Multisystemic Family Therapy. However, because of small sample sizes and lacking replication, their results have to be regarded as provisional. Up to now, there are no controlled clinical trials on pharmacological treatments for traumatized children and adolescents. More studies on this numerically relevant and partly severely impaired group are to be claimed. Studies on differential indication of different treatment approaches and on the efficacy of combination treatments, as psychotherapy plus pharmacotherapy, are lacking.

Abstract:
Traumatized children frequently exhibit symptoms of disorders other than PTSD. There is evidence of comorbidity between PTSD, depression and other behavioral disorders and a large overlap in symptom criteria between PTSD and depression in children and adolescents. The first part of this presentation explores what current research has identified as the key factors for the development of depression in children and adolescents. The evidence linking trauma, stress and PTSD to some forms of depression and the relationship between disorders of attachment, difficulties with affect regulation and the development of depression in children and adolescents will be explored. The second part of this presentation will introduce preliminary evidence that EMDR can be a potentially effective treatment for depression in children and adolescents through a series of case studies and anecdotal reports. The presentation will conclude with an overview of strategies for working with depressed children and adolescents across the eight phases of the EMDR protocol. Even though this presentation will focus on working with pediatric depression, it will provide a foundation for understanding and treating adult depression as well. Video clips of sessions will be shown to provide a concrete and tangible experience for clinicians.

Abstract:
During the past 20 years, the development of brain imaging techniques and new biochemical approaches has led to increased understanding of the biological effects of psychological trauma. New hypotheses have been generated about brain development and the roots of antisocial behavior. We now understand that psychological trauma disrupts homeostasis and can cause both short and long-term effects on many organs and systems of the body. Our expanding knowledge of the effects of trauma on the body has inspired new approaches to treating trauma survivors. Biologically informed therapy addresses the physiological effects of trauma, as well as cognitive distortions and maladaptive behaviors. The authors suggest that the most effective therapeutic innovation during the past 20 years for treating trauma survivors has been Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic approach that focuses on resolving trauma using a combination of top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (affect/body) processing.

Abstract:
This article reviews recent findings in the developmental neurophysiology of children subjected to psychological trauma. Studies link extreme neglect and abuse with long-term changes in the nervous and endocrine systems. A growing body of research literature indicates that individuals with severe trauma histories are at higher risk of behaving violently than those without such histories. This article links these two research areas by discussing how severe and protracted child abuse and/or neglect can lead to biological changes, putting these individuals at greater risk for committing homicide and other forms of violence than those without child maltreatment histories. The implications of these biological findings for forensic evaluations are discussed. Based on new understanding of the effects of child maltreatment, the authors invite law and mental health professionals to rethink their notions of justice and offender accountability, and they challenge policymakers to allocate funds for research into effective treatment and for service delivery.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The purpose of this exploratory study was to see whether EMDR could he incorporated into a
Client-Centred model of Play Therapy, to enable children and adolescents to more rapidly
process traumatic memories, thereby enhancing the therapeutic process. The Client-Centred
(non-directive) Play Therapy model is now well recognised as a way of helping children and
adolescents who have experienced psychological trauma to work through their experiences in
a way that is both empowering and non-threatening. It is based on Rogerian principles
(Rogers 1951), with the philosophy that given the right therapeutic conditions the children,
like adults, have an innate drive towards health. The child leads the way, and the therapist
follows. I have struggled to see how EMDR can fit comfortably within a client-centered play
therapy model, although I recognise that Shapiro describes the model as client-centred.
To test a hypothesis that EMDR could be integrated into a client-centred play therapy
approach, three children were identified. All 3 were waiting for some regular weekly client-centred
play therapy sessions, within the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, in
West Yorkshire. The subject of the study were two girls, one aged 8 years old and the other
aged 14 years with a mild learning disability, and a boy who was 13 years old. All three had
experienced complex psychological trauma including sexual abuse.
My dilemma was whether it was in fact possible to introduce EMDR within the sessions, and
if so, how to do this in a way that enhanced the therapeutic process and did not intrude. The
sessions were set up introducing the EMDR protocol alongside setting up the client-centred
play therapy sessions. Each child was offered 10-12 weekly sessions. In this presentation I
will summarise my findings and hope to show how possible ways the two approaches can be
integrated.

Abstract:
Edwin werd op 13-jarige leeftijd opgenomen in de kinderkliniek van het Dr. Leo Kannerhuis (LKH) in verband met zijn stoornis in het autistisch spectrum. Na enkele jaren in de kinderkliniek wordt hij doorgeplaatst naar de jongerenkliniek waar hij, inmiddels 16 jaar oud, behandeling krijgt in een groep van zes adolescenten. Edwin is een jongen met een forse autistische stoornis, wat zich met name uit in een zeer vertraagde informatieverwerking, moeite met sociale contacten en gebrekkig sociaal inzicht. Daarnaast is er bij Edwin sprake van preoccupaties in het denken (steeds dezelfde herhalende gedachten). Edwin raakt snel overprikkeld wanneer hij te veel informatie krijgt of te veel sociale interacties moet verwerken. Hij raakt dan in de war en probeert weer grip te krijgen op zijn verwarring door verklaringen te zoeken. Door Edwins beperkte inzicht in de omgeving zijn deze verklaringen vaak niet conform de werkelijkheid en veroorzaken ze bij hem nog meer verwarring. In het verleden is er daardoor sprake geweest van prepsychoses. Verder is bekend dat Edwin op jonge leeftijd zeer waarschijnlijk te maken heeft gehad met seksueel misbruik door zijn vader. In een later stadium heeft een jongen seksuele handelingen verricht bij Edwin en moest hij bij hem seksuele handelingen verrichten.
Edwin was 13 years of age included in the pediatric clinic of the Dr.. Leo Kanner (LKH) associated with their disorder in the autistic spectrum. After several years in the children's clinic he will be transferred to the clinic for youth, now 16 years old, receives treatment in a group of six adolescents. Edwin is a boy with a strong autistic disorder, in particular in what was a very slow information processing, difficulty with social interaction and lack of social insight. In addition, when Edwin there concerns in mind (repeating the same thoughts). Edwin quickly become overexcited when he gets too much information or too much to handle social interactions. He then gets confused and tries to get a grip on his confusion by looking statements. By Edwin limited understanding of the environment, these statements are often inconsistent with the reality and cause them to him even more confusion. In the past there has therefore been prepsychoses. Edwin is also known that at a young age is very likely to have experienced sexual abuse by his father. At a later stage, a boy sexual acts performed with Edwin and he had to perform sexual acts with him.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This paper discusses the use of EMDR with refugee and asylum seeking
children and adolescents using clinical case examples and shares the clinician’s own personal
reflections on the lessons learned.
The challenges of working with this group are explored drawing on research findings as well
as the clinician’s experiences. Language and cultural differences can act as barriers to
assessing children’s mental health or their suitability for EMDR even though in some cases it
might be thought of as the treatment of choice. Working with Interpreters is often a key
feature of this therapeutic work. The challenges are discussed with direct reference to The
British Psychology Society’s recently published guidelines. There are ongoing stresses for these children and young people associated with displacement and their current situation in
the UK. These stresses contribute to their psychological distress.
Fear of being sent home or mistrust may also prevent them from providing full and accurate
information hindering the clinician from obtaining an accurate assessment or trauma
history.
The importance of good therapeutic skills as the basis of an EMDR Approach is highlighted
drawing upon a host of interventions (behavioural, physical, cognitive and motivational) to
support clients in building up their own resources so that they can manage their distress
between sessions. The therapist’s role in managing expressed emotions within the sessions is examined, not forgetting the impact of this on the therapist.

Abstract:
It is estimated that as many as 2% of children under age 12 and from 5% to 18% of adolescents suffer from a depressive disorder (Birmaher et al., 1996; Northey, Wells, Silverman, & Bailey, 2003) that will likely persist into adulthood (Northey et al., 2003; Wagner & Ambrosini, 2001). Contextual Therapy is a differentiation-based (e.g., Kerr & Bowen, 1988; Schnarch, 1991) approach in that it promotes self-determination in the face of family pressure for compliance, reliance on internal resources for self-validation rather than dependence on others for approval, and the overcoming of emotional discomfort in the interests of responsible action (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1986). Both the contextual approach and the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model predict that formative childhood experiences affect both psychological health and relational functioning. With its systemic paradigm and its ethical dimension of relationship, the contextual approach is complementary and additive to Shapiro's (2001) AIP model. The contextual approach shows the clinician where to look for the targets, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) provides the potency to transform the experience. A general structure of phase-oriented therapy can be described that accounts for most, if not all, referrals for treatment. An assessment phase, a contracting phase, and an intervention phase characterize the main tasks of the therapist. In practice, these phases may overlap, coincide, or repeat themselves over the course of minutes, weeks, or months. This chapter describes only those practices that are unique to the integrated approach. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
Conduct disorder and other disruptive behaviours represent the most common form of child and adolescent psychopathology referred for treatment by parents and teachers. A number of studies conducted in university research centers have demonstrated meaningful treatment gains especially with preadolescents with conduct disorder. However, studies conducted with older adolescents, especially those with comorbid disorders, as well as studies conducted in community-based clinic settings have been mostly unsuccessful. With a few exceptions, the extant treatments have not made any special effort to address effects of traumatic experiences that research has demonstrated to be very prevalent among conduct disordered children and adolescents. Motivation-Adaptive Skills-Trauma Resolution (MASTR) therapy developed by Ricky Greenwald (2002a) has shown promising results in his open trial study. MASTR is a complex treatment approach which addresses several key areas crucial in treating adolescents with conduct disorder: development/enhancement of motivation for treatment, development/enhancement of anger management and problem solving skills, and treatment of past trauma effects. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of MASTR therapy with 10 adolescent boys with conduct disorder placed in a residential treatment facility. This study combined single subject and qualitative research methodologies to offer a detailed look into the implementation and evaluation of MASTR therapy in a residential treatment centre. Foremost, this study demonstrates the formidable problems of conducting treatment research with this population in this kind of setting. Results suggested that, when it can be sufficiently implemented, MASTR therapy may be an effective treatment method producing some meaningful changes in behaviour for some severely disturbed adolescents with conduct problem. The study also demonstrated that EMDR may be an effective treatment for reducing emotional distress associated with past trauma in adolescents with conduct disorder. Factors associated with the limited success of this treatment study are identified and discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore treatment modalities for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for adolescents. This study examined current research on the treatment of PTSD by analyzing the content of books and articles written within the past 10 years.
The study was a descriptive content analysis of currently used treatment modalities for PTSD. Data analysis involved a recursive process in which themes were identified and developed over numerous readings.
The findings of this study indicated that PTSD symptomology was significantly reduced when adolescents were treated with cognitive behavioral methods. Controlled studies were located only for cognitive behavioral interventions. Pharmacological interventions were widely used to treat PTSD symptoms. However, there have been neither controlled nor open-label drug studies conducted regarding this population. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a promising new form of treatment that has yet to be examined in a rigorous manner. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) sometimes exacerbated PTSD symptoms in this population.
The results of the study indicated that more controlled research needs to be generated targeting adolescents with PTSD.

Abstract:
Pubers en adolescenten, leeftijd tussen 12 en 18 jaar kennen intensieve, snel wisselende ontwikkelingsfasen waarbij het veel afstemming van de therapeut vraagt hoe hij of zij contact kan aangaan met de jongere en zijn ouders.
Deze jongeren komen slechts zelden met een eigen hulpvraag bij de GGZ. Meestal trekken de ouders aan de bel, soms school, soms een andere hulpverlener.
Om met adolescenten te kunnen werken is het essentieel dat we aansluiting zoeken en vinden bij de jongere zelf en hoe die zijn probleem ervaart, ook al kan deze probleemdefinitie lijnrecht tegenover de aanmeldingsreden staan. Als er een hulpvraag is gevonden die erkent kan worden door de jonger zelf en door zijn ouders/opvoeders heeft de behandeling meer bodem om te kunnen starten.
Een indicatie voor EMDR-behandeling vraagt altijd om goede voorlichting en uitleg. Bij jongeren speelt vervolgens mee dat de identiteitsontwikkeling en de daarmee gepaard gaande onzekerheidsgevoelens er vaak aan bijdraagt dat EMDR als een “ vreemde gang van zaken” wordt beschouwd. De therapeut moet genoeg vertrouwen in zichzelf en de therapie hebben om de jongere ook het vertrouwen te geven om in proces te durven gaan. Soms gaat dit in golfbewegingen.
Het effect van de behandeling kan om dezelfde reden ontkend worden door de jongere zelf ( er zijn dingen veranderd maar dat kan natuurlijk nooit komen door dat rare gedoe, dat komt vast door die nieuwe verkering die nu zo gelukkig maakt) en belangrijk is dan om ook de context van de jongere erbij te betrekken. Ouders, brusjes of/en vrienden en school kunnen belangrijke informatiebronnen zijn om een goede inschatting te maken over het eventuele effect van de behandeling.
Timing wanneer een EMDR-behandeling kan starten zal rekening moeten houden met schoolvakanties, proefwerken, PTA’s, (examen)feesten…omdat het belangrijk is om niet teveel risico te nemen op verbreking van het verwerkingsproces.
Teenagers and adolescents, aged between 12 and 18 years have intense, rapidly varying stages of development where it is much matching the therapist asks how he or she can enter into contact with juveniles and their parents.
These young people are rare with an own demand for care in mental health. Usually the parents pull the bell, school sometimes, sometimes another helper.
To be able to work with adolescents is essential that we seek and find connections with the young people themselves and what they are experiencing problems, even though this problem definition are diametrically opposed to notification reason. If there is a demand for care is found to be acknowledge by the younger self and his parents / guardians, the more soil treatment to start.
One indication of EMDR therapy always requires good information and explanation. Among young people is then that the identity development and the associated uncertainty feelings that often contributes EMDR as a "foreign affairs" is seen. The therapist must have enough confidence in himself and the therapy to the young people the confidence to dare to go to trial. Sometimes this in waves.
The effect of the treatment can be denied for the same reason the young people themselves (there are some things changed but that can obviously never get through the crazy stuff that is established by the new traffic that is so happy) and also important is to the context of the younger involvement. Parents, siblings and / or friends and school information important to a good estimate on the possible effect of the treatment.
Timing when an EMDR treatment will have to start with school, papers, PTA's, (exam) parties ... because it's important not to take too much risk of breaking the process.

Abstract:
In May 2000, a firework depot exploded in the city of Enschede (The Netherlands), leaving 22 people dead, 947 injured, more than 500 houses destroyed, and about 1500 houses significantly damaged. In total, 4, 163 people were affected, including many children and adolescents. Children with chronic posttraumatic stress reactions were referred for treatment to the Ambulant Mental Health Care team un Enschede.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the relative efficacy of EMDR versus a CBT approach for reducing children’s symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety and behavior problems, All participants treated from 2001 to 2003 were included. They received 4 sessions of EMDR and 4 sessions CVBT. Moreover, four sessions of parent guidance were included in both groups. The final N was 57 children (age 3-18).
Assessment took place prior to the intervention, immediately after the intervention and at 3 month follow-up. The main outcome measures were: UCLA PTSD Index (parent, child, and adolescent version), Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS), the Parent Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (PROPCS), the Problem Rating Scale (PRS), the Birleson Depression Scale and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASQ, anxiety).
Also parent-reported psychosocial dysfunction and teacher-reported problems were assessed (Child Behavior Check List: parent form and teacher form and for children aged 11 and older; self-report form). For the youngest (0-6 years) the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) was included. The date was gathered but not yet analyzed is currently underway.

Abstract:
We suggest that trauma contributes to the development and persistence of conduct problems, and should be addressed. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) was selected as a promising trauma treatment. 29 boys with conduct problems in residential or day treatment were randomized into standard care or standard care plus 3 trauma-focused EMDR sessions. The EMDR group showed large and significant reduction of memory-related distress, as well as trends towards reduction of post-traumatic symptoms. The EMDR group also showed large and significant reduction of problem behaviors by 2-month follow-up, whereas the control group showed only light improvement. These findings provide support for EMDR's use as a trauma treatment for boys ages 10-16, as well as support for the hypothesis that effective trauma treatment can lead to reduced conduct problems in this population.

Abstract:
In my current position as a clinical psychologist based on a hlgh school campus, I often have occasion to meet with adolescents
who are suicidal, some having recently made suicidal gestures. Despite the complexity and variety of presenting issues, there is
a set of more or less standardized steps to follow to ensure safety as well as appropriate follow-up. In this paper I present a case
to illustrate how I have integrated EMDR. This approach to teen suicidality uses several elements of the motivation - anger -
trauma therapy (MATT) approach for teens with conduct disorder, which has been described in detail elsewhere (Greenwald
1998, 1999, in press).
In addition to the standard crisis interventions - letting the client talk out the problem, contracting for safety, implementing
supports and restrictions as needed, and arranging follow-up - I have been using EMDR in various ways to enhance present
safety as well as subsequent resiliency. For example: the Choices Have Consequences intervention (cited above, described
below) helps the client to realize that self-harm leads to a poor outcome despite its initial appeal; the standard use of EMDR can
help to reduce vulnerability to the type of stressor which led to the current crisis; and the Future Movies intervention (also cited
above and described below) helps to create a more hopeful long-term perspective while enhancing coping skills.

Abstract:
This case study reports the successful treatment of Internet addiction in a 13- year-old male using four
45-minute sessions of the desensitization of triggers and urge reprocessing (DeTUR) protocol—an addiction
protocol of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR; Popky, 2005). This protocol
uses EMDR procedures to process current triggers and positive future templates, but it does not identify
or directly address any past trauma. At baseline, the participant showed a moderate level of Internet addiction
(scoring 75 on Young’s Internet Addiction Test [IAT]) and moderate depression (26 on the Beck
Depression Inventory [BDI]). During assessment, he identified 7 triggers for Internet gaming and rated
the associated urge to engage in the activity with scores of 3–9 on the level of urge scale (0 5 lowest,
10 5 strongest). Using the DeTUR protocol, the level of urge for each trigger was reduced to 2, which
the participants defined as “not being able to think about or crave for the game.” After treatment, his
symptoms had declined to nonclinical levels (38 on IAT and 6 on BDI) and he was able to restrict his
time on the Internet to an hour per day. These therapeutic gains were maintained at 6- and 12-month
follow-up. The DeTUR may be a good treatment option for Internet addiction and further controlled
studies
are needed.

Abstract:
DBT and EMDR as primary treatment methods provide effective treatment for adolescents in the setting of group residential facilities. Regardless of the intensity of the pathology or the length of stay, these compatible treatment methods provide adolescents with significant decreases in the impact of traumatic memories and increased emotional regulation skills. The methods have been empirically supported as effective in a variety of settings and with a diversity of age groups. They are well suited for use in a residential environment and can constitute a powerful, effective method for dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Substance Abuse, and other disorders.

Language: Japanese
Format: Journal
Abstract:
This research aims to look at the frequency of dissociative experiences among adolescent
population, and collect basic data. Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) was administered to 816
university students. The results on each item were analyzed and they were very similar to those
of previous studies. I-T correlation and G-P analyses results indicate that discriminate power for each item is at best when cut-off of 25 or less is applied. Since the data was not distributed normally, test for median was performed and the same result was obtained. On top of that, to secure the normal distribution of the data, square root transformation was undertaken before the two analyses were performed. The results suggest that on G-P analysis, in order to increase
discriminate power, the cut-off needs to be less than 16. However, when false negative and positive
were taken into consideration, it was off from practical use. And when compared with other
researches, it became apparent that depending on the context of measurers used with DES, there
is a possibility of subjecrs being biased. Also it was suggested that items on DES are useful in
screening DID but they are not measuring the overall spectrum of dissociative disorder.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
The i-test was developed to assess the visual-perceptual disturbances (VPDs) frequently reported by anxious patients. Persons with the disturbance report a specific abnormal illusion of movement when they maintain a fixed gaze at the i-test stimulus. Base rates for positive responses to the i-test and for reports of a "recurrent specific memory" (RSM) of a fear experience were obtained in psychiatric outpatient (n = 301) and community (n = 128) samples. In each case, approximately one fifth of participants had a positive response to the i-test and one fifth of participants reported an RSM of fear. A positive response to the i-test is observed in women more frequently than in men. Among psychiatric patients, approximately 90% of patients who report one symptom also report the other symptom; among community members, the concordance rate is approximately 33%. When psychiatric patients with both an abnormal illusion of movement response and an RSM of trauma are treated with eye movement desensitization, both symptoms are removed in 70% of cases; when these patients undergo some other form of treatment, both symptoms are removed in 30% of cases. These results indicate that the i-test is an effective way of identifying VPDs associated with psychopathologic conditions; the association between the abnormal illusion of movement and reports of recurrent specific memories of fear experiences suggests that the VPD may be a marker of traumatic stress syndromes.

Abstract:
A devastating earthquake suddenly struck over Sichuan Province of China at May 12, 2008. Two weeks after the quake, over
five hundreds children who lost either parents or one parent were moved to RiZhao, ShanDong province. After a through
screening with MiNi, Kiddie-Sads and the diagnosed assessment with Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for Children and
Adolescents (CAPS-CA), about 8 percent was diagnosed with PTSD or PTSS. 511 children were selected. The final diagnosis
was made with DSM-IV. We treated these PTSD/PTSS children with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR),
which is taken as one of the most effective treatments for PTSD. 26 children with PTSD consented to receive EMDR treatment
and 26 completed the treatment. They were randomized into pretreatment group and waiting group. Children enrolled in
treatment completed a number of self-report measures and CAPS-CA; pre-, mid- and post-treatment and at follow-up. All
children received three 45-90minute sessions of EMDR, one session a week. The total score, subscale scores and ration of
decreased score were calculated for CAPS-CA. Comparing the ratio of decreased score, the rations after the three sessions’
treatment were significantly higher than that of waiting group and naturally decreased with time. The results indicate that
some children with PTSD after the SiChuan earthquake were getting well after short term EMDR.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
Objective.- This dissertation explored the effectiveness of a treatment package, Motivation-Adaptive Skills-Trauma Resolution (MASTR) in combination with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This intervention was assessed in a sample of traumatized adolescents manifesting conduct problems (CPs) admitted to youth protective services. CP adolescents have been found to be particularly treatment-resistant and the treatments used with them often neglect to target the trauma that many of these youths have faced. Therefore, it seemed promising to implement a trauma-focused treatment with these youths that accounts for their resistance to treatment. MASTR-EMDR was studied with this population due to the favorable findings in the few studies assessing its use with high-risk populations. In addition to examining the effects of this treatment with CP youth exposed to various types of trauma, a particular focus was given to victims of sexual abuse (SA). This type of trauma seemed particularly suited for EMDR due to its circumscribed nature, which may be more easily worked through in this treatment that targets one trauma at a time.
Method.- Participants in the first study were 40 adolescents (ages 13-17) exhibiting CPs and exposed to trauma in youth protective services. A subsample (n = 30), consisting of victims of SA, was included in the second study. Participants in both studies were randomly assigned to MASTR-EMDR treatment or to a wait list condition where they were offered routine care. Self-report questionnaires and semi- structured interviews were administered to participants and one of their parents or caregivers by independent evaluators at three points in time: pre-treatment, post-treatment (12 weeks later) and follow-up (12 weeks after post-treatment). These measures evaluated trauma history, trauma-related sequelae, CPs, social competence and internalizing problems. The MASTR-EMDR sessions were administered once a week over a 12 week period, with each session lasting a maximum of 1.5 hours.
Results.- ANCOVAs and repeated measures ANCOVAs were used to assess treatment effects and the maintenance of gains at a 3-month follow-up. As predicted, MASTR-EMDR led to significant gains in outcome measures compared to routine treatment with both samples. In addition, gains were maintained at follow-up.
Conclusions.- This dissertation supports the use of MASTR-EMDR in populations exposed to general trauma and SA who exhibit CPs. This research was innovative in its implementation of a novel treatment-approach in youth protective services, where empirically-supported treatments are necessary and sometimes lacking. Therefore, the results have both clinical and scientific value and can help pave the way toward more trauma-focused treatments for CP youth, more evidence-based practices in youth protective services as well as enrich current understanding of the effects of this treatment approach.[Author Abstract]

Abstract: EMDR ist als ein effektives und ökonomisches Verfahren zur Behandlung von chronischer PTBS bei Erwachsenen anerkannt. Dieses Poster verdeutlicht die Effektivität von EMDR bei psychisch traumatisierten Kindern und Jugendlichen. Die kontrollierten Studien sind inhaltlich und in ihrer methodologischen Güte beschrieben und ausgewertet worden. Es sind sowohl singulär traumatisierte Kinder und Jugendliche nach einer Naturkatastrophe bzw. einer Explosion, wie auch sequentiell traumatisierte Kinder und Jugendliche mit sexuellem Missbrauch und Gewalterfahrungen behandelt worden. Alle Studien weisen EMDR als hoch effektiv aus. Dies gilt gleichermaßen für die Reduktion der PTB wie auch der komorbiden Symptome (Depression, Angst). Bemerkenswert ist, dass in den beiden Behandlungsvergleichen mit bewährten kognitiv-behavioralen Verfahren EMDR bei gleicher Effektivität signifikant effizienter war. Dies repliziert Ergebnisse aus dem Erwachsenenbereich (van Etten & Taylor, 1998). Obwohl die geringe Anzahl an Studien die Generalisierbarkeit der Ergebnisse einschränkt, scheint EMDR über alle untersuchten Alterstufen hinweg ein einheitliches Wirkprofil vorzuweisen.[Author abstract]

They are both singular traumatized children and adolescents after a natural disaster or an explosion, as well as sequentially traumatized children and adolescents treated with sexual abuse and violence. All the studies point out EMDR to be highly effective. This applies equally to the reduction of the PTB as well as the comorbid symptoms (depression), anxiety. It is noteworthy that cognitively in the two treatment comparisons with best-behavioral procedures with the same effectiveness of EMDR was significantly more efficient. This replicates results from the adult participants (Van Etten & Taylor, 1998).

L’EMDR inoltre progredisce su altri due versanti: da un lato incorpora al suo interno spunti teorici ed applicativi provenienti da diversi paradigmi psicoterapeutici allo scopo di potenziare l’efficacia e la flessibilità (Shapiro, 1995); dall’altro lato, si cerca di applicare il metodo a disturbi che vanno oltre al PTSD. Attualmente nei differenti paesi del mondo le persone che hanno effettuato un training organizzato dall’EMDR Institute sono circa 30.000.In Italia i primi corsi sull’EMDR sono stati condotti nel febbraio 1999 e sono attualmente coordinati dall’Associazione EMDR Italia, a sua volta riconosciuta e patrocinata dalla EMDR Europe (Giannantonio, 2000). L’associazione ha sede a Milano e dispone di un sito internet: www.emdritalia.it.
Il dibattito sull’efficacia di questo metodo è tuttora aperto e sono numerose e contrastanti le ricerche che si sono svolte su questo argomento. La questione ha assunto a tratti i toni dello scontro ideologico e sono subentrati anche problemi di carattere commerciale, un metodo che si propone come più efficace e più rapido nella terapia di alcuni disturbi psicologici non può non essere valutato come un rivale, soprattutto in una realtà come quella del Nord America dove le spese per la psicoterapia sono pagate dalle assicurazioni (Giannantonio, 2000).
L’EMDR è uno dei metodi che vanta il maggior numero di conferme sperimentali nella psicoterapia del PTSD. Questo gli ha consentito nel 1995 di essere considerata “trattamento probabilmente efficace” (valutazione A/B) nella terapia del PTSD dalla Task Force on Psychological Intervention dell’American Psychological Association. Questa valutazione di efficacia è uguagliata solo dallo Stress Inoculation Training e dalle terapie basate sull’esposizione (Chambless et al., 1998).
Gli studi prodotti sull’efficacia dell’EMDR sono numerosi (per una rassegna vedi Giannantonio, 2000), molti sono criticabili perché mal strutturati e con grossi problemi di validità. Esistono tuttavia una serie di studi ben organizzati che si sono dimostrati inattaccabili sul piano metodologico...
Questi studi tuttavia commettono uno o più dei seguenti problemi:
1) Impiegano una o due sedute di EMDR con reduci del Vietnam forse anche a causa dell’equivoco suscitato dalla stessa Shapiro (1989) che riferiva risultati importanti nei confronti del PTSD con una sola seduta di EMDR nel 100% dei soggetti. Una tale concezione dell’EMDR non è quella più attuale e condivisa (Shapiro, 1995).
2) Trattano con l’EMDR solo uno o due episodi traumatici in soggetti che devono essere considerati “pluritraumatizzati” (Shapiro, 1999).
La presente Tesi è divisa in due parti: nella prima di carattere essenzialmente bibliografico ho analizzato la letteratura esistente sull’EMDR e sul PTSD.
Nel secondo capitolo descriverò il Disturbo Post-Traumatico da Stress analizzando i vari approcci teorici al problema del trauma.
Nel terzo capitolo verrà analizzata la teoria dell’EMDR ovvero il modello esplicativo ritenuto più adeguato che fa riferimento alla “elaborazione accelerata dell’informazione”.
Il quarto capitolo, che conclude la prima parte, riporta il protocollo standard di somministrazione dell’EMDR per adulti e adolescenti.
Nella seconda parte viene riportata la descrizione della ricerca che si sta producendo in collaborazione con l’EMDR Italia che si propone di valutare l’efficacia dell’EMDR. Nel quinto capitolo viene descritto il disegno sperimentale. Nel sesto capitolo viene analizzato il metodo di campionamento e i presupposti di validità della ricerca. Nel settimo capitolo sono descritti i test che si è deciso di analizzare nel corso della presente tesi. Infine l’ottavo capitolo si concentra sull’analisi dei primi dati emersi dalla ricerca e sulle prime conclusioni.

EMDR also progressing on two other fronts: on the one hand it incorporates theoretical insights and applications from different psychotherapeutic paradigms in order to enhance the effectiveness and flexibility (Shapiro, 1995), on the other hand, it tries to apply the method to problems that go beyond PTSD.
Currently in different countries of the world, people who have a training organized dall'EMDR Institute 30.000.In Italy are about the first courses on EMDR have been conducted in February 1999 and is currently coordinated by the Association EMDR Italy, in turn recognized and sponsored by the EMDR Europe (Giannantonio, 2000). The association is based in Milan and has a website: www.emdritalia.it.
The debate on the effectiveness of this method is still open and they are many and conflicting research that took place on this topic. The issue has assumed at times the tone of the ideological battle and were replaced also problems of a commercial nature, a method is proposed as a more effective and faster in the treatment of certain psychological disorders can not be assessed as a rival, especially in a situation such as North America where the cost of psychotherapy are paid by insurance (Giannantonio, 2000).
EMDR is one of the methods which has the highest number of experimental confirmation in psychotherapy for PTSD. This enabled him in 1995 to be considered "probably efficacious treatment" (rated A / B) in the treatment of PTSD by the Task Force on Psychological Intervention of the American Psychological Association. This assessment of effectiveness is equaled only by the stress inoculation training and exposure-based therapies (Chambless et al., 1998).
Studies on the effectiveness of EMDR are numerous products (for review see Giannantonio, 2000), many are questionable because poorly structured and serious problems of validity. There are however a number of well-organized studies that have proven resistant in terms of methodology:
......
These studies, however, have committed one or more of the following problems:
1) They use one or two sessions of EMDR with Vietnam veterans possibly because of misunderstanding caused by the same Shapiro (1989) who reported significant results against PTSD with a single session of EMDR in 100% of subjects. Such a conception of EMDR is not the most current and shared (Shapiro, 1995).
2) They deal with EMDR only one or two traumatic events in people who should be considered "pluritraumatizzati" (Shapiro, 1999).
This thesis is divided into two parts: the first character essentially bibliographic I analyzed the existing literature on EMDR and PTSD.
In the second chapter I will describe the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder analyzing the various theoretical approaches to the problem of trauma.
In the third chapter we will analyze the theory of EMDR or the explanatory model deemed more appropriate that refers to the "accelerated processing of information."
The fourth chapter, which concludes the first part shows the standard protocol of administration of EMDR for adults and adolescents.
In the second part shows the description of the research that is being produced in collaboration with the EMDR Italy that aims to assess the effectiveness of EMDR. In the fifth chapter describes the experimental design. In the sixth chapter analyzes the sampling method and the conditions for validity of the research. In the seventh chapter describes the tests it was decided to analyze the course of this thesis. Finally, the eighth chapter will focus on early evidence from research and initial findings.

Language: English

Abstract:
Context: As a response to the Tsunami in 2004 the Aceh Project organized by TraumaAid and sponsored byTDH and the BMZ
from 2007 to 2009 treated more than 3200 clients for psychic disorders related to traumatic experiences .The treatment was
given by Indonesian therapists who against the background of a lack of local therapists trained in psychotraumatology had to
be trained within the project under the auspices of TraumaAid. This combination of EMDR-Training and EMDR-Therapy in an
extremely challenging context also offered an unique opportunity for a parallel and wide ranging monitoring and evaluation
of the social and diagnostic parameters involved. Methodology: To guide the therapeutic process and to check on its long
term efficacy 1200 adults and 1000 children were at the outset of their therapies asked to contribute detailed diagnostic
data. While for adults the Hopkins Anxiety and Depression scales along with a 42-item Harvard Trauma Questionnaire was
administered, children and adolescents up to age of 17 were given an adapted version of the CBCL. At the conclusion of their
therapies 20 % of all respondents were rechecked with the same diagnostic scales, another group of 5 % again after 6 months.
Results: The diagnostic data indicate a dramatic improvement after therapies that involved a range of therapeutic techniques
including stabilising and EMDR protocols. The relation between diagnostic dimensions (intrusions, somatic reactions, social
relations, expression of feelings and attention problems) and social factors (gender, age) was further explored.

Abstract:
This paper aims to describe on-going research on the evaluation of efficacy of EMDR as a
treatment for post traumatic stress symptomatology in children who have been in road traffic accidents. Various cognitive measures were used to see which of them differentiated children
who had been in road traffic accidents and developed post-traumatic stress symptomatology
from those who had been in road traffic accidents and did not. Those who developed post
traumatic stress symptomatology and agreed to take part in the study were then treated with
EMDR. Pre and post-treatment measures of cognitive variables previously assessed were
compared. Of the 12 who agreed to participate 11 were found to be free of post traumatic
stress symptomatology following treatment that varied in length from 2-5 sessions.

Abstract:
This study evaluated the efficacy of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for treating trauma and anxiety disorders in adult, adolescent, and child clients with or without a dissociative disorder.
Participants comprised 23 California-licensed mental health professionals who possessed at least a master's degree in the mental health field and specifically had been trained in EMDR by the EMDR Institute. Each participant completed a survey questionnaire developed specifically for this study.
Results indicated significant differences between EMDR and the other surveyed therapeutic approaches for overall level of efficacy in treating trauma in adults and adolescents. Significant differences between EMDR and two other approaches for treating child trauma were also revealed. A significant difference was found between EMDR and one other approach for overall level of efficacy in treating anxiety in adults and adolescents. No significant differences were found between therapeutic approaches for treating child anxiety. Directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Er zijn diverse behandelmogelijkheden beschreven voor kinderen met enuresis
nocturna (Azrin, 1974; van Londen, 1984; Hira Sing, 2004; Richtlijn Enuresis
van de PAZ; NHG standaard Enuresis Nocturna). Ondanks deze
behandelmogelijkheden is er een groep kinderen die tot in de adolescentiefase
kampt met een zeer hardnekkige vorm van primaire enuresis nocturna.
Epidemiologisch onderzoek wijst op een prevalentie van enuresis nocturna bij
adolescenten van 1.2% (Nappo, 2002; Chiozza, 1998). De behandeling van
deze groep wordt belemmerd door een fors gedaalde motivatie voor
behandeling zowel als gevolg van de vele faalervaringen met eerdere
behandelpogingen, als door een toegenomen negatief zelfbeeld en gebrek aan
zelfvertrouwen.
Dit artikel laat zien hoe EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing) op experimentele basis werd gebruikt bij enkele adolescenten
met zeer hardnekkige enuresis nocturna. Het traumatiserende effect van
langdurende enuresis nocturna wordt omschreven. Met een casus wordt
geïllustreerd hoe EMDR wordt ingevlochten in de gedragstherapeutische
behandeling. Ten slotte worden de bevindingen beschreven bij de adolescenten
waar inmiddels ervaring mee is opgedaan.

faced with a very stubborn form of primary nocturnal enuresis.

Abstract:
La presentazione si propone di “raccontare” come l’EMDR sia diventata, in un ospedale infantile, strumento di ulteriore integrazione professionale tra i differenti operatori di cura.
L’EMDR viene utilizzata, infatti, non solo con bambini e adolescenti che giungono nella Struttura Operativa di Psicologia, ma viene richiesta dai medici dei vari reparti per i pazienti, ed eventualmente per i loro familiari, ricoverati in seguito ad esposizione ad eventi critici. L’intervento con EMDR viene, inoltre, effettuato con alcuni genitori i cui figli sono ricoverati in merito a malattie gravi o croniche. Gli stessi operatori di cura, in seguito ad eventi potenzialmente traumatici in ambito lavorativo, vengono aiutati con gruppi di debriefing, e, se necessario, con l’EMDR per riprocessare situazioni dolorose, ritrovare benessere e funzionalità lavorativa. Operatori di cura differenti, sistemi conoscitivi$differenti, ma insieme… insieme per cocostruire con il paziente e la sua famiglia una nuova narrativa ed aiutarli ad attribuire nuovi significati ad esperienze dolorose o fallimentari.
The presentation aims to "tell" how EMDR has become, in a children's hospital, tool for further integration between the different operators of professional care. EMDR is used, in fact, not only with children and adolescents who come in the Structure Works on psychology, but is required by doctors of various departments for patients, and possibly for their families, hospitalized after exposure to critical events. Intervention with EMDR is also made with some parents whose children are hospitalized on serious or chronic illnesses. Operators themselves to care, in the aftermath of potentially traumatic in employment, are helped with groups of debriefing, and, if necessary, with EMDR for reprocess painful situations, to find wellness and functionality work. Operators care
ifferent cognitive systems different, but together ... together with the patient and cocostruire its family a new narrative and help to give new meaning to experiences painful or unsuccessful.

Abstract:
N. è stata portata in Italia a 14 anni con l’illusione di lavorare come baby sitter, finisce invece vittima dello sfruttamento sessuale organizzato e per circa un anno subisce violenze sessuali, fisiche e psicologiche. Con forza e coraggio notevoli, riesce a fuggire, nuda, da un’auto dove stava subendo l’ennesima violenza. Ha gravi lesioni sul corpo, viene soccorsa e portata in ospedale, dove decide di denunciare i suoi vittimizzatori.
Il caso finisce alla Procura del Tribunale per i Minorenni e N. viene collocata, sotto falso nome, in una comunità.
Il mio primo contatto con la ragazza avviene quando ha 16 anni ed è in comunità da cinque mesi. Presenta ancora i sintomi invadenti del PTSD: flashback, incubi, panico, pensieri ossessivi, isolamento, distacco emotivo che a volte la fa apparire molto calma, sovreccitazione. Non sa controllare gli impulsi e regolare le emozioni: passa dalla rabbia, che sfoga picchiando pugni contro il muro fino a ferirsi o spaccando tutto ciò che le capita sotto mano, alla eccitazione, alla depressione con sentimenti di inutilità a vivere, di colpa e di vergogna (sintomi di PTSD Complesso). Propongo e spiego da subito l’EMDR ritenendo che sia l’unico approccio terapeutico utile; stabiliamo piano terapeutico e N. esprime il suo consenso al trattamento. Particolare attenzione, data la problematicità, alla fase di preparazione e stabilizzazione. Nell’anamnesi emerge primo trauma a 10 anni, prima ricorda di essersi sentita amata e protetta. Rafforzo queste esperienze positive che diventano risorse in suo possesso. Fondamentale si rivela la psicoeducazione sui disturbi: N. accoglie con sollievo l’idea che non è “pazza” o “indemoniata” ma solo traumatizzata. Immaginiamo comportamenti alternativi per esprimere le emozioni e strategie di coping.
Posto al Sicuro: servono due sedute per stabilizzare e installare il posto al sicuro.
Il protocollo EMDR sarà applicato fedelmente nelle sue fasi; i target del passato affrontati in ordine cronologico.
N. è sempre partita da 1 nella scala VoC e da 10 nella SUD; ha concluso tutte le sedute con SUD: 0 e VoC: 6 /7. Ha avuto abreazioni e una volta ha chiesto di fermarsi: la NC era”sto per morire”.
Sono stati raggiunti, dopo 10 mesi di terapia, gli obiettivi del piano terapeutico: la sintomatologia post-traumatica si è risolta dopo otto sedute.
No was taken to Italy 14 years with the illusion of working as a babysitter, instead ends up a victim of sexual exploitation and organized for about a year suffer sexual violence, physical and psychological. With remarkable courage and strength, manages to escape, naked, from where a car was undergoing yet another violence. He has serious injuries on the body, is rescued and taken to hospital, where he decides to denounce his victimization.
The event ends at the General Prosecutor of the Juvenile Court and N. is placed under a false name, in a community.
My first contact with the girl when she is 16 years and is shared by five months. Still has the intrusive symptoms of PTSD: flashbacks, nightmares, panic, obsessive thoughts, isolation, emotional detachment that sometimes makes it appear very calm, excitement. Can not control impulses and regulate emotions: anger passes, which unleashed banging his fists against the wall until injury or cracking everything that happens at hand, the excitement, depression with feelings of futility in life, guilt and shame (symptoms of complex PTSD). Propose and explain EMDR now believing it is the only therapeutic approach useful, we establish a treatment plan and N. expresses its consent to treatment. Particular attention, given the problematic, the preparation and stabilization. Nell'anamnesi apparent trauma to the first 10 years, first recalls that she felt loved and protected. Reinforces these positive experiences that become resources in their possession. Reveals the basic psychoeducation about the disorder: No welcomes with relief the idea that is not "mad" or "possessed" but traumatized. Imagine alternative behaviors to express emotions and coping strategies.
Safe place: it takes two sessions to stabilize and secure way to install.
The EMDR protocol is applied faithfully in its early stages, the targets of the past dealt with in chronological order.
No always started from a ladder in VOC and 10 in South, has completed all the sessions with SUD: 0 and VOC: 6 / 7. Abreactions and had once asked to stop: the NC was "I am going to die."
Were achieved after 10 months of therapy, the goals of treatment plan: post-traumatic symptoms resolved after eight sessions.

Abstract:
Voor de behandeling van de posttraumatische stress stoornis (PTSS) bestaan er
twee behandelmethoden waarvan de werkzaamheid voldoende is aangetoond:
gedragstherapie (imaginaire exposure) en Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) (de Jongh en ten Broeke, 2003). EMDR is in Amerika
door Shapiro ontdekt en ontwikkeld. In de 90’er jaren is deze
behandelmethode in Nederland geïntroduceerd. Oorspronkelijk is het een vorm
van psychotherapie voor volwassenen. In Amerika zijn onder anderen Lovett,
Tinker en Wilson begonnen om EMDR ook bij kinderen toe te passen. Het
eerste onderzoek naar de behandeling van kinderen met EMDR is in 1996
gepubliceerd door Chemtob (Lovett, 1999).
Inmiddels zijn er in Nederland verschillende artikelen geschreven over de
toepassing van EMDR bij kinderen (de Roos en Beer, 2003; Beer en de Roos,
2004). EMDR kan goed bij schoolgaande kinderen gebruikt worden. Er wordt
dan gewerkt met het kinderprotocol. Adolescenten, pubers en lagere
schoolkinderen worden nu vaak met EMDR behandeld als er sprake is van
PTSS. De toepassing bij peuters is minder bekend.
Hoe jonger het kind des te sneller therapeuten geneigd zijn om niet met het
kind zelf te werken. Dikwijls wordt dan volstaan met ouderbegeleiding.
Ouders krijgen adviezen hoe zij hun kind kunnen helpen bij de verwerking van
het trauma. Naast de ouderbegeleiding krijgt het kind zelf vaak helemaal geen
behandeling, terwijl behandeling van het kind wel datgene is waar ouders om
vragen. Het kind behandelen werkt directer en waarschijnlijk ook efficiënter en
effectiever.
Bij kinderen onder de vier jaar zijn een heleboel elementen uit het EMDR
protocol niet uitvoerbaar. Toch is het heel goed mogelijk om EMDR ook bij de
allerkleinsten te gebruiken, namelijk door middel van de “storytelling”
techniek van Lovett (1999). De hulp en inzet van ouders is daarbij een vereiste.
In dit artikel wordt deze techniek beschreven aan de hand van een
gevalsbeschrijving van een jongetje van drie jaar, Tommy. Het artikel begint
met een uiteenzetting van de voorgeschiedenis van de casus. Daarna wordt
aangegeven welke elementen van het EMDR protocol aangepast moeten
worden bij peuters en wordt de “storytelling” techniek, oftewel de verhalenmethode, beschreven. Dan volgt een weergave van het verhaal dat de
ouders van Tommy met behulp van de therapeut voor hem schreven.
Vervolgens wordt de behandeling van Tommy beschreven. Het artikel eindigt
met een conclusie.
For the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), there
two treatments for which efficacy has been adequately demonstrated:
behavioral therapy (imaginal exposure) and Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) (de Jongh and Ten Broeke, 2003). EMDR in America
discovered and developed by Shapiro. In the 90's, this
treatment method introduced in the Netherlands. It was originally a form
of psychotherapy for adults. In America, among others Lovett,
Tinker and Wilson began to EMDR in children applying. The
first research on the treatment of children with EMDR in 1996
published by Chemtob (Lovett, 1999).
There are now several articles on the Netherlands
use of EMDR in children (de Roos and Beer, 2003, Bear and Rose,
2004). EMDR may well be used in school children. It is
then worked with the children's protocol. Adolescents, adolescents and lower
school children are now often treated with EMDR when there is
PTSD. The application in toddlers is less known.
The younger the child the faster therapists tend not to
child to work. Often parent guidance are sufficient.
Parents get advice on how they can help their child in the processing of
the trauma. Besides the parent guidance, the child itself is often no
treatment, while treatment of the child does what is true for parents
questions. The child works deal more directly and probably more efficient and
effective.
In children under four years are a lot of elements from the EMDR
protocol is not feasible. Yet it is quite possible to EMDR also in
toddlers to use, namely through the storytelling
technique of Lovett (1999). The help and commitment of parents is a prerequisite.
This article describes the technique using a
case report of a boy of three years, Tommy. The article begins
with an account of the history of the case. Then
identifying the elements of the EMDR protocol adapted to
are young children and the storytelling technique, or the stories method described. Then follows a representation of the story that
Tommy's parents by the therapist wrote for him.
Then the treatment of Tommy described. The article ends

Abstract:
Renee Beer en Hellen Hornsveld bespreken in deze presentatie toepassingsmogelijkheden van EMDR bij patiënten met uiteenlopende eetstoornissen.
Eerder is over dit onderwerp gepresenteerd door beide spreeksters op een EMDR Netwerkavond in 2004 en op het Europese EMDR congres in 2005.
Samenvatting
Patiënten met Eetstoornissen (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge eating disorder) krijgen doorgaans een multidisciplinaire behandeling, waarin verschillende modules een complementaire rol spelen. Resultaten zijn echter vaak teleurstellend en daarom zijn nieuwe ideeën en technieken welkom. Mogelijkheden en beperkingen van EMDR in combinatie met Cognitieve Gedragstherapie (C.G.T.) worden besproken en geïllustreerd met videobeelden.
Renee Beer zal toelichten en demonstreren
-hoe EMDR geplaatst kan worden in de context van C.G.T.,
-waarom het aantrekkelijk is voor adolescenten (“een coole combi”),
-welke targets in aanmerking kunnen komen (o.a. traumaverwerking, lichaamsbeeld en zelfbeeld),
-hoe deze targets bewerkt kunnen worden,
-en wanneer in het behandelingsproces EMDR in aanmerking komt.
Hellen Hornsveld zal vervolgens haar ervaringen presenteren met een eigen protocol ter behandeling van eetbuien en eetdrang. Dit protocol is voortgekomen uit de observatie dat patiënten vaak heftige, negatieve emoties vertonen tijdens cue exposure. Cue exposure is een gedragstherapeutische techniek, waarbij de patiënt blootgesteld wordt aan de prikkels die doorgaans een eetbui uitlokken (geur, smaak,aanwezigheid van “verboden” voedsel) zonder dat de eetbui daarbij plaats mag vinden (responspreventie). De procedure is gericht op het laten uitdoven van de fysiologische reacties op de eetbui prikkels (Jansen, 1997). Op de inhoud van de reacties en de emotionele betekenis die geassocieerd is met het eten, wordt verder niet ingegaan. De EMDR variant van dit protocol is juist gericht op de betekenisverlening en het creëren van een zo hoog mogelijke emotionele lading (“balletje op de berg”) door zoveel mogelijk het EMDR protocol te volgen. Positieve ervaringen met dit protocol zullen aan de hand van videomateriaal worden gedemonstreerd.
Renee Beer and Hellen Hornsveld in this presentation discuss applications of EMDR in patients with various eating disorders.
This issue was presented by speakers at an Evening Both EMDR Network in 2004 and the European EMDR conference in 2005.
Summary
Patients with Eating Disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, binge eating disorder) tend to have a Multidisciplinary treatment, a complementary role Which modules. Results in loss or are disappointing and therefore welcome new ideas and techniques. Possibilities and limitations of EMDR in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are discussed and illustrated with videos.
Renee Beer will demonstrate and explain
-How EMDR Can Be Placed in the context of CBT,
-Why is it Attractive for adolescents ("a cool combination)
Targets, Which Are Eligible (e.g. trauma, body image and self-image)
How-thesis targets Can be edited
And when in the process of EMDR treatment is Eligible.
Hellen Horn Field Will then present experiences with ITS ITS own protocol for the treatment of binge eating and eetdrang. This protocol is derived from the observation That Patients in loss or intense negative emotions show consistently cue exposure. Cue exposure is a behavioral technique in Which the patient is Exposed to the stimuli That Provoke Normally a binge (smell, taste, presence of "forbidden" foods) without taking the binge Which Should Be (response prevention). The procedure is aimed at gradually between the physiological responses to the binge stimuli (Jansen, 1997). The content of the emotional responses and Significance associated with the food is not Considered Further. The EMDR variant of this protocol is very focused on the perspectives and Creating the Highest Possible emotional charge (ball on the Mountain ") as much as Possible, the EMDR protocol to follow. Positive experience with this protocol using Will Be video material locally.

Abstract:
India, the world’s second largest democracy, is known for its diversity in
terrain, culture and ethnicity. Prone to both natural and man made calamities
along with a high population density and not enough resources, mental health
does not rank high on the list of people’s priorities.
The earthquake of January 2001, was the second deadliest experienced by
the country through its recorded history. Trauma therapy, specifically EMDR
was still at its inception in the country with very few fully trained professionals.
These professionals put together a response that reached out to more than
16000 affected individuals, mostly children and adolescents and a few
parents, teachers and adults from the society.
The keynote address discusses the approach that was adapted in working in
Gujarat in the aftermath of the earth quake, the processes that were modified
to make them relevant both to the culture and the trauma experienced by the
people. The address also discusses the documented findings while work was
underway, the experiences and observations of the therapists along with a
few representative cases.
The data for this keynote was generated through the drawings of children
done as a part of the therapy itself. The impact on adolescents using the
Impact of Event scale will also be presented.

Abstract:
Dit hoofdstuk is voortgekomen uit enthousiasme voor EMDR. Eetstoornissen (anorexia nervosa, boulimia nervosa en binge eating disorder) staan bekend als moeilijk te behandelen. Behandeling van patiënten met eetstoornissen vindt bij voorkeur plaats door een multidisciplinair, specialistisch team met een gemeenschappelijke visie (Clinical Guideline Eating Disorders, 2004; Multidisciplinaire Richtlijn voor Eetstoornissen, 2006). Cognitieve gedragstherapie neemt hierbij een prominente plaats in. De weinige beschikbare gecontroleerde studies laten matige resultaten zien met behoorlijke terugvalpercentages (Multidisciplinaire Richtlijn voor Eetstoornissen, 2006). Over het algemeen geldt dat cognitieve gedragstherapie de behandeling van voorkeur is, maar ook de resultaten van deze benadering geven aanleiding tot bescheidenheid (Fairburn e.a., 1999). Onderzoekers en behandelaars zijn daarom voortdurend op zoek naar nieuwe invalshoeken en mogelijkheden. In ons werk met eetstoornispatiënten hebben wij ons afgevraagd hoe de kracht van EMDR ingezet zou kunnen worden bij de vaak moeizame behandeling van patiënten met een eetstoornis. De volgende bevindingen zijn gebaseerd op ervaringen met de behandeling van jongeren (12-18 jaar) met voornamelijk anorexia nervosa1 en volwassenen met hoofdzakelijk binge eating disorder. Daarnaast hebben wij onze klinische ervaringen uitgewisseld met collega’s2 in een werkgroep ‘EMDR en eetstoornissen’.
Onze ‘experimenten’ met EMDR vonden steeds plaats als onderdeel van een geïntegreerde, multidisciplinaire poliklinische of deeltijdbehandeling. Het is daarom moeilijk objectief vast te stellen wat specifieke effecten zijn geweest van de beschreven interventies. Onze indruk is echter dat EMDR een klinisch relevante verbetering teweeg kan brengen, waar die met de meer gangbare methoden veel lastiger of zelfs niet te bereiken zou zijn geweest.
In wetenschappelijke tijdschriften is, naar wij weten, slechts één artikel verschenen over het gebruik van EMDR in de behandeling van eetstoornissen (Hudson e.a., 1998). Over empirisch onderzoek naar de effecten van EMDR bij de behandeling van eetstoornissen is nog niets gepubliceerd. Wel is door verschillende collega’s op EMDR-congressen bruikbaar materiaal gepresenteerd voor toepassing bij patiënten met een eetstoornis (Vogelmann-Sinn e.a., 1998; Omaha, 2000; Bloomgarden en Calogero, 2002; Friedland, 2003; Hase, 2005).
This chapter is the result of enthusiasm for EMDR. Eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder) are known as difficult to treat. Treatment of patients with eating disorders is preferably carried out by a multidisciplinary specialist team with a common vision (Clinical Guideline Eating Disorders, 2004; Multidisciplinary Guideline for Eating Disorders, 2006). Cognitive behavioral therapy occupies a prominent place. The few available controlled studies have shown mixed results with significant relapse rates (Multidisciplinary Guideline for Eating Disorders, 2006). Generally, that cognitive-behavioral treatment of preference, but also the results of this approach give rise to modest (Fairburn et al, 1999). Researchers and practitioners are therefore constantly looking for new approaches and possibilities. In our work with eating disorder patients, we asked ourselves how the power of EMDR could be used in the often difficult management of patients with eating disorders. The following findings are based on experiences with the treatment of adolescents (12-18 years) with anorexia mainly nervosa1 and adults with mainly binge eating disorder. We also exchanged our clinical experiences with collega's2 in a workgroup 'EMDR and eating disorders.
Our 'experiments' with EMDR were always held as part of an integrated, multidisciplinary outpatient treatment or time. It is therefore difficult to determine objectively what specific effects have been the interventions described. Our impression is that EMDR is a clinically relevant improvement can bring, where those with the more common methods much more difficult or even impossible to achieve would have been.
In scientific journals, to our knowledge, only one article about the use of EMDR in the treatment of eating disorders (Hudson et al, 1998). On empirical research into the effects of EMDR in the treatment of eating disorders is not yet published. However, by several colleagues EMDR conferences presented useful material for use in patients with eating disorders (Mann-Sinn Vogel et al, 1998; Omaha, 2000; Bloom Garden and Calogero, 2002; Friedland, 2003; Hase, 2005).

Abstract:
Eetstoornissen zijn ernstige ziektebeelden met een grote kans op een chronisch
beloop, hoge morbiditeitcijfers en veel co-morbiditeit (van Elburg & Rijken,
2004). In de DSM IV worden verschillende eetstoornissen onderscheiden:
Anorexia Nervosa, Boulimia Nervosa en Eetstoornis Niet Anders Omschreven.
Eetstoornissen komen meestal tot bloei tijdens de adolescentie. Bij Anorexia
Nervosa ligt de piek van het ontstaan tussen veertien en achttien jaar, Boulimia
Nervosa begint doorgaans pas na het zestiende jaar (Robbe e.a., 1999;
Fleminger, 2002; Vandereyken & Noordenbos, 2002). Anorexia Nervosa (AN)
heeft het hoogste mortaliteitspercentage van alle psychiatrische stoornissen en
bij adolescenten staat het op de derde plaats in de rij van meest voorkomende
stoornissen. Behandelingsresultaten zijn weinig bemoedigend (Vandereyken &
Noordenbos, 2002). Voor AN is nog geen ‘evidence based’ behandeling
voorhanden. Zie: National Institute of Clinical Excellence (2004) en de
Multidisciplinaire Richtlijn Eetstoornissen (2006). Behandelaars zijn daarom
nog steeds op zoek naar nieuwe invalshoeken.
Op de afdeling jeugdpsychiatrie van het Universitair Medisch Centrum Utrecht
is een zorgprogramma eetstoornissen ontwikkeld, waarmee jongeren met AN en
met een Eetstoornis NAO worden behandeld door een multidisciplinair team2.
Zie voor een beschrijving van dit programma: van Elburg & Rijken (2004).
Tijdens mijn werkzaamheden voor deze afdeling (2000-2005) heb ik hieraan
mogen bijdragen door het implementeren van cognitieve gedragstherapie en
EMDR als potentiële onderdelen van een breed-spectrum behandeling. Een
beschrijving van een protocol voor cognitieve gedragstherapie is in
voorbereiding ( Beer & Tobias).
In dit artikel wordt beschreven hoe EMDR kan worden ingezet bij de
behandeling van jongeren met een eetstoornis. De hier beschreven experimentele status. De voorgestelde mogelijkheden zijn weliswaar
uitgeprobeerd door meerdere psychotherapeuten, maar van systematische
toetsing is nog geen sprake geweest. Een gedetailleerde beschrijving en
theoretische onderbouwing van de voorgestelde toepassing van EMDR is
eveneens in voorbereiding (Beer & Hornsveld). In dit artikel wordt besproken
waarom (theoretisch kader), hoe (aangrijpingspunten) en wanneer (timing)
EMDR kan worden ingezet. Na een aantal illustratieve behandelfragmenten
wordt besproken waarom het juist voor jongeren een waardevolle module kan
zijn in een multidisciplinaire behandeling (toegevoegde waarde). Afgesloten
wordt met een conclusie.
Eating disorders are serious illnesses with a high risk of chronic
course, high morbidity rates and many co-morbidity (Elburg & Rich,
2004). The DSM IV eating disorders several distinguished:
Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa and Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.
Eating disorders usually come to fruition during adolescence. In Anorexia
Nervosa is the peak of emergence between fourteen and eighteen, Bulimia
Nervosa usually begins after the age of sixteen (Robbe et al, 1999;
Fleminger, 2002; Vander Eyken & Noorden, 2002). Anorexia Nervosa (AN)
has the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric disorders and
among adolescents is on the third row of the most common
disorders. Treatment results are very encouraging (Vander Eyken &
Noorden, 2002). AN is no "evidence based treatment
available. See: National Institute of Clinical Excellence (2004) and
Multidisciplinary Directive Eating Disorders (2006). Clinicians are therefore
still looking for new angles.
The adolescent psychiatry department at the University Medical Center Utrecht
is an eating disorder care program developed for young people with AN and
with an ED-NOS treated by a multidisciplinary team2.
For a description of this program from Elburg & Rich (2004).
During my work on this section (2000-2005) I have this
may contribute by implementing cognitive behavioral therapy and

review has not been a case. A detailed description and
theoretical underpinning of the proposed use of EMDR is

why (theoretical framework), how (targets) and when (timing)
EMDR can be used. After several treatments illustrative excerpts
discuss why it is a valuable youth module

Geconcludeerd wordt dat EMDR een kindvriendelijke en breed toepasbare methode is om de negatieve gevolgen van traumatische ervaringen die kinderen in een medische setting opdoen te behandelen of te voorkomen.
This article describes the importance of the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma to prevent or treat in children and adolescents. Paediatric medical traumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder are discussed the relevance of EMDR for pediatrics to explain. There follows a brief description of the treatment protocol and two explanatory models for the effect of EMDR. For illustration, there are two cases described in the article. There are calls for early risk detection and timely referral by pediatricians and medical teams. It is concluded that EMDR is a child-friendly and widely applicable method is to reduce the negative effects of traumatic experiences that children experience in a medical setting to treat or prevent.

Abstract:
EMDR ist eine psychotherapeutische Methode zur Behandlung traumatischer Erinnerungen. In seinem sehr gut lesbaren und informativen Buch beschreibt Ricky Greenwald, ein Pionier in der Anwendung von EMDR und einer der aktivsten Erforscher dieser Methode, wie EMDR zur Behandlung von Verlusterfahrungen, Ängsten, somatischen Problemen, Depression und Verhaltensproblemen von Kindern und Jugendlichen angewendet werden kann. "Das vorliegende Buch konzentriert sich auf den Einsatz von EMDR bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. EMDR ist eine noch recht neue Methode, und die meisten bei Kindern und Jugendlichen benutzten Varianten dieser Methode sind noch jüngeren Ursprungs. Der größte Teil des methodischen Materials, das in diesem Buch beschrieben wird, wurde bisher noch nicht veröffentlicht. Ich habe das Buch für all jene geschrieben, die lernen wollen, therapeutisch mit Kindern und Jugendlichen zu arbeiten, oder die ihre diesbezüglichen Kenntnisse erweitern wollen. Aus der Trauma-Orientierung bei der Durchführung einer Therapie in Verbindung mit verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen von EMDR sind einige innovative und effektive Ansätze zu gängigen Behandlungsbereichen entwickelt worden. Die Anwendung von EMDR in der Therapie erfordert eine formelle Ausbildung und Supervision, wie sie ein Buch allein niemals leisten kann. Doch können Leser, die bereits an einer EMDR-Ausbildung teilgenommen haben, dieses Buch auch als Leitfaden für die Anwendung von EMDR zur Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen benutzen." - Ricky Greenwald
EMDR is a psychotherapeutic method for the treatment of traumatic memories. Describes in his very readable and informative book Ricky Greenwald, a pioneer in the use of EMDR and one of the most active explorers of this method, how EMDR for treatment of loss experience, anxiety, somatic problems, depression and behavior problems in children and adolescents are applied. "This book focuses on the use of EMDR in children and adolescents. EMDR is still a very new method, and most children and adolescents used variants of this method are even more recent origin. The bulk of the methodological material, which in this Paper describes has not yet been published. I wrote the book for those who want to learn therapeutically with children and young people to work, or want to extend their knowledge in this regard. From the trauma reference for the implementation of a therapy in connection with different applications of EMDR are some innovative and effective approaches to common treatment areas have been developed. The use of EMDR in the treatment requires a formal training and supervision as a book alone can never achieve. But to readers who are already suffering from EMDR have participated without training to use this book as a guide for the application of EMDR to treat children and adolescents. " - Ricky Greenwald

Abstract:
Der erste Teil des Beitrags fasst den Stand der Forschung zu EMDR zusammen. Der zweite Teil beschreibt ein paar allgemeine Aspekte der Traumatherapie mit Jugendlichen und der dritte die Anwendung von EMDR bei Jugendlichen in Verbindung mit einer manualisierten Vorgehensweise nach Dr. Ricky Greenwald. EMDR ist keine neue Therapierichtung, sondern ein schulenergänzendes Zusatzverfahren; und so ist die hier vorgestellte Möglichkeit, EMDR bei Jugendlichen anzuwenden, nur eine von vielen, die sich allerdings bewährt hat.
Der steile Weg von EMDR zur wissenschaftlichen Anerkennung war von Anfang an von großer Begeisterung und heftigen wissenschaftlichen Kontroversen begleitet. Shapiros erste Berichte (1989a, 1989b) mit Darstellungen der Vorgehensschritte beschrieben bedeutsame Besserungen der Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS) nach einer einzigen Sitzung "Eye Movement Desensitization" (EMD). Auf dem Hintergrund, dass PTBS bis dahin als schwer behandelbar und die Behandlungsmethoden als langwierig, anstrengend und begrenzt wirksam galten (Solomon, Gerrity, & Muff, 1992), stieß EMDR zunächst auf skeptische Zurückhaltung. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt gab es nur noch eine weitere Wirksamkeitsstudie zur Therapie von PTBS, in der Peniston (1986) 45 Sitzungen Entspannung und Systematische Desensibilisierung plus Biofeedback mit einer Kontrollgruppe ohne Therapie verglichen und nur bei einzelnen Symptomen [Albträume, Muskelanspannung, Angst] von PTBS einen signifikanten Rückgang festgestellt hatte. Im Jahr der ersten Untersuchung von Francine Shapiro wurden noch drei weitere Untersuchungen zur Behandlung von PTBS veröffentlicht, von denen keine auch nur annähernd vergleichbare Behandlungserfolge berichten konnte.
The first part of the paper summarizes the state of research on EMDR. The second part describes some general aspects of trauma therapy with adolescents and the third is the use of EMDR among young people in conjunction with a manualized approach to Dr. Ricky Greenwald. EMDR therapy is not a new direction, but a schulenergänzendes additional procedures, and so is the opportunity presented here, EMDR applicable to young people, only one of many that has proven, however.
The steep path of EMDR to the scientific recognition was accompanied by the beginning of great enthusiasm and fierce scientific controversies. Shapiro's first reports (1989a, 1989b) with descriptions of the action steps described significant improvement of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a single session "Eye Movement Desensitization (EMD). On the background of PTSD until then treated as serious and the treatment methods were considered to be lengthy, exhausting, and have limited effect (Solomon, Gerrity, & Muff, 1992), EMDR struck first on skeptical restraint. At this time there was only one additional efficacy study for the treatment of PTSD, in the Peniston (1986) 45 meetings, relaxation and systematic desensitization plus biofeedback with a control group compared with no therapy and only in individual symptoms [nightmares, muscle tension, fear] of PTSD a significant decrease was noted. In the first investigation by Francine Shapiro, three other studies have been published for the treatment of PTSD, which was able to report not even close to comparable treatment results.

Abstract:
The number of children and teens struggling with symptoms of stress and anxiety disorders is increasing at an alarming rate. This workshop will discuss some causes for the increase in stress and anxiety disorders among children and teens. An introduction to the Triune Brain Theory and brief explanation of the implications of the changes on the anxious child or teenage brain will be highlighted. Next, effective exercises to calm the body and rewire the brain will be introduced. Creating new neural pathways, through the use of Positive Resource Building utilizing EMDR, will also be taught. Looking specifically at anxiety and how to target it when using EMDR, will also be explored. The workshop will conclude by introducing how to shrink the “Worry Monster” using an EMDR protocol.
Learning objectives:
1.Describe the Triune Brain Theory and how trauma rewires the brain to create heightened levels of anxiety and stress.
2.Demonstrate 5 exercises which help calm the stress response within the body.
3.List 5 “Positive Resources ”which when combined with EMDR anchor calm feelings in the brain/body and rewire the brain.
4.Discuss how to chose appropriate targets for EMDR processing with anxious kids.
5.Describe how to create a “Worry Monster” for processing anxiety with EMDR.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Given the limited number of reported cases in literature, it might be concluded that it is rare to develop a choking phobia in childhood. However, it appears as though confusion in terminology and the time lapse between the onset of the disorder and treatment often results in the diagnosis being missed. In this article, we discuss a review of the clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis, comorbidity, etiology, and treatment options for choking phobia. We present a case series, describing the successful EMDR treatment of choking phobia for 4 children and adolescents, with positive outcomes achieved in 1 or 2 sessions. In addition, a detailed transcript is presented of a 15-year-old girl with a choking phobia related to an incident that occurred 5 years previously. The rapid elimination of symptoms in all 4 cases indicates that EMDR can be an effective treatment for choking phobias resulting from previous disturbing events. Randomized research on this promising intervention is strongly suggested.

Abstract:
School refusal behavior is defined as a child-motivated refusal to attend school, or difficulties remaining in school for the entire day. As a heterogeneous condition, it can encompass aspects of phobic-type responses or separation anxiety disorder. This condition interferes with the child’s development as it impacts upon academic performance, family and peer relationships in the short-term realm. Long-term effects may include fewer employment and educational opportunities, as well as the development of psychiatric sequelae. This presentation will describe the use of EMDR as a comprehensive treatment for the child or adolescent with school refusal. Case presentations will describe assessment of the problem, with treatment of targets in the individual child or as part of a family systems intervention. Highlights will be placed on the rapid resolution of school refusal behaviors through the processing of traumatic incidents, versus those conditions requiring a more extended and extensive treatment program. The creative implementation of in vivo EMDR will be described in the successful classroom reintegration of two students

Abstract:
In May 2000 a firework depot exploded in the city of Enschede (The
Netherlands), leaving 22 people dead, 947 injured, more than 500 houses
destroyed, and about 1500 houses significantly damaged. In total 4,163 people
were affected, including many children and adolescents. Children with
chronic posttraumatic stress reactions were referred for treatment to the
Ambultant Mental Health Care team in Enschede. A randomized controlled
trial was conducted to evaluate the relative efficacy of EMDR versus a CBT
approach for reducing children’s symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety
and behavior problems. All participants treated from 2001 to 2003 were
included. They received 4 sessions EMDR or 4 sessions CBT. Moreover, four
sessions of parent guidance were included in both groups. The final N was
53 children (age 3-18). Assessment took place prior to the intervention,
immediately after the intervention and at 3 months follow-up. The main
outcome measures were: UCLA PTSD Index (parent, child and adolescent
version), Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS), the Parent
Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (PROPS), the Problem Rating Scale
(PRS), the Birleson Depression Scale and the Multidimensional Anxiety
Scale for Children (MASQ, anxiety). Also parent-reported psychosocial dysfunction
and teacher-reported problems were assessed (Child Behavior
Check List: parent form and teacher form and for children aged 11 and
older: self report form). For the youngest group (0-6 years) the Trauma

This study used a naturalistic design to investigate the effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with children and adolescents who were exposed to single-incident trauma. Participants were 36 children and adolescents ranging in age from 1 year 9 months to 18 years 1 month who were referred consecutively to the author's private practice. Assessments were conducted at intake, post-waitlist/pretreatment, and at follow up. EMDR treatment resulted in significant improvement (Cohen's d = 1.87). Follow-ups after 6 months revealed stable, further slight improvement. It was shown that children younger than 4 years of age can be treated using EMDR and that the group of preschool children had the same benefit from the treatment as the school-age children.

Abstract:
Our aim: We will present some EMDR family work,
offer question and discussion time and the opportunity to explore
the approach. We would very much like to provide an
arena to discuss and share learning about EMDR with families
and to agree some success criteria for working in this way.
The focus of our presentation is the successful use of the EMDR
group protocol with a family of 5 children. The children
had witnessed domestic abuse and had been physically abused themselves. We were greatly assisted by the children's mother Lea
who co-worked with us. We will include how we structured 1. I
support for her to carry out this difficult role.
We will describe the use of images to process the children's
memories and current fears.
We will cover what made the approach so successful in the children's and our opinion, including the context of the existing resources.
We will describe what we learnt about co-working across different
modalities in the way that we did.
The workshop will have an interactive and experiential focus which
we hope will capture the energy and creativity of the approach.
Learning points:
- Adapting and developing a group EMDR protocol to work
with a family of 5 children.
- Co-work with a parent and a colleague from another modality.
- Using EMDR to process the legacy of domestic abuse by the children's father including processing current fears.
As co-workers we found that, using the vehicle of the EMDR
group protocol has been an exciting and effective initiative. My
colleague and I came from different agencies and worked together in the family's home in a collaborative way with the children, parent and each other We will include in our presentation the children's and parent's views on what worked for them and on the process as a whole.

Abstract:
In this workshop important aspects of the treatment, with EMDR as the main approach, of
chronically traumatized children and adolescents will be discussed. What are the
necessary conditions to be present or to be created in the preparatory phase of
treatment? How much and what kind of stabilization is needed as the bottom line before
trauma processing by EMDR can be initiated? An overview of empirical studies on
treatment effects with this specific population will be discussed. Using video fragments,
we will clarify how EMDR can be embedded in multifaceted treatment programs in
different treatment settings. The question will be dealt with how parents can (not) be
involved in order to reach optimal treatment outcome.
Learning objectives:
1. Enhance knowledge and understanding of the benefit of EMDR in the treatment of
chronically traumatized children and adolescents
2. Enhance knowledge for identification of children and adolescents for whom EMDR
may be appropriate.
3. Enhance understanding of the role for parents in the EMDR treatment with these
clients.

Abstract:
As with many therapies, the evidence base for the effectiveness of EMDR with children and adolescents is much less established than that with adult clients suffering PTSD. Whilst there is sufficent evidence from open studies and case studies to justify its application, there is a real need for proper evaluation with the younger clinical groups. This paper will review
existing evidence, but will also raise issues of the implications for clinical practice of working with rapidly developing children. To what extent
can and should one takecognisance of th e developmental levels, both cognitive and emotional? How is or should EMDR technique be adapted for work with young children? The actual practices of Shapiro and Tinker vary dramatically, and this needs tbe confronted and understood. The conclusions are that EMDR has an important role In helping traumatized children, but we need to understand both children and EMDR
better in order to develop even more effective interventions.

Abstract:
Clinical case-presentation of EMDR-treatment of a boy and a girl, sixteen and eighteen years of age respectively, both with a history of different dissociative symptoms. Both were sexually abuse and both had a considerable weight-loss during EMDR-treatment. Symptoms prior to my contact with the body was pseudo-epileptic fits with shaking, cramps, eyes turning “inside out” and sometimes turning quite blue. After he could be spoken to, he could drink and seemed oriented in time and space, but later had total amnesia of the dissociative episode that could last for several hours. He also had pain in one leg and got the diagnosis “Sympatic Dystrophia” and “Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.” Memory of the sexual abuse was completely hidden behind a screen memory of being abuse physically by a schoolmate until very late in EMDR-treatment. The girl had family relations problems, eating disturbance, suicidal behavior and intense sways in temper and server conflicts with her mother. The sexual abuse by a relative was known and the dissociation was not diagnosed before screening with DES>
Both had different kinds of somatic and/or psychological long treatment, with little success, before entering EMDR-treatment. Both had an EMDR-treatment period of almost one-year and both were given the Putnam DES-scale before, during, and eight months after treatment.
In both cases, there was decline from very high Putnam DES scores to normal. At the eight month follow-up, the boy’s results persisted and weight was regained. The girl us just about to end treatment so there are no follow-up results. However, her weight is back to normal.
Is weight loss during EMDR-treatment noticed by other EMDR-therapists?

Abstract:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a new psychotherapeutic method aimed at processing memories of traumatic events, thereby ameliorating the psychological consequences of these memories. EMDR involves elements from several different psychological approaches. It is uncertain which of the treatment elements are effective. Clients with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are the main target group for EMDR treatment. Although both children and adults have been treated with EMDR, this document is aimed particularly at children and adolescents.
Patient Benefits, Risks, and Side Effects
Published studies of EMDR mainly cover adults with PTSD. There are two randomized and controlled studies, one of which has yet to be published, of EMDR treatment in 47 children and adolescents. One of the studies suggests that EMDR yields a better treatment outcome in the short term compared to the control treatment (active listening). In the second study, no significant difference was found between EMDR treatment in combination with standard treatment and standard treatment alone as regards reduction in avoidance and invading thoughts. However, the PTSD symptom of behavioral disorders declined significantly in the EMDR group. Furthermore, numerous case studies suggest that EMDR has a positive treatment effect in children and adolescents with PTSD. No harmful effects have been reported.

Med denna artikel skulle jag vilja visa hur jag har inlemmat EMDR-metoden (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) i behandlingen av två barn med sinsemellan helt olika livshistoria och symtom. Min erfarenhet är att EMDR förutom vid trauma är effektiv vid olika typer av problem. Den kan dessutom användas för att förstärka jagresurser och självkänsla. [Excerpt]
I have worked the last ten years with children and young people on a BUP reception in Stockholm in an ethnic community. I see why a lot of children / adolescents with different types of war traumas but of course also clients of other traumas and more "normal" difficulty. With this article I would like to show how I have incorporated EMDR method (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in the treatment of two children with one another completely different life history and symptoms. My experience is that EMDR except in trauma is effective in various types of problems. It also can be used to enhance jagresurser and self esteem.

Abstract:
Föreliggande studie är dels ett led i att kvalitetssäkra EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) som behandlingsmetod för barn och ungdomar och dels att utröna om behandlingen bidragit till ett förbättrat mående. EMDR som behandlingsmetod för barn och ungdomar har stöd i kontrollerade studier, men ytterligare forskning behövs. I den här studien deltog åtta barn och ungdomar med varierande diagnoser, vilka fått EMDR-behandling i barn- och ungdomspsykiatrisk öppenvård. Behandlingen ingick i en individualterapi i ett familjeterapeutiskt sammanhang. Barnen/ungdomarna intervjuades per telefon om hur de upplevt behandlingen och om sitt mående i efterförloppet. Information om diagnoser, C-GAS, antal EMDR-sessioner samt terapeutens bedömning inhämtades som komplement till intervjun. Resultaten visar att EMDR-behandlingen upplevs ha bidragit till att obehagskänslor och symtom minskade, men i olika grad, för alla intervjuade barn/ungdomar. Denna förändring kunde också noteras i terapeutens bedömning och i de bedömda C-GAS-värdena. Alla kände sig trygga under behandlingen och tyckte att de fick tillräcklig information. Hälften tyckte att konfrontationen med de svåra minnena var det mest obehagliga. Vissa detaljer i protokollet, såsom att bestämma målbild, upplevdes svårt för över hälften. Alla intervjuade skulle rekommendera EMDR-behandling till andra. Det positiva resultatet talar för att EMDR är en användbar metod för barn- och ungdomar med traumatiska minnen, och att det är värdefullt att satsa på fortsatt forskning kring EMDR med barn- och ungdomar.
The present study is the first part of ensuring the quality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a treatment for children and young people and also to determine if the treatment contributed to an improved malaise. EMDR as a treatment for children and adolescents is supported by controlled studies, but further research is needed. In this study, eight children and adolescents with various diagnoses who received EMDR treatment in child and adolescent psychiatric outpatients. The treatment was part of an individual therapy in a family therapy context. Children / young people were interviewed by telephone about their experiences and treatment of their malaise in its aftermath. Information on diagnosis, C-GAS, number of EMDR sessions and the therapist's assessment was collected as a supplement to the interview. The results show that EMDR treatment is perceived to have contributed to the discomfort and symptoms decreased, but to varying degrees, all interviewed children / adolescents. This change was also noted in the therapist's assessment and the assessed C-GAS-values. All felt safe during the treatment and felt they had enough information. Half thought that the confrontation with the difficult memories was the most unpleasant. Some details of the protocol, such as determining the vision, difficulty was experienced for more than half. All respondents would recommend EMDR treatment to others. The positive results suggest that EMDR is a useful method for children and adolescents with traumatic memories, and that it is worthwhile to invest in continued research on EMDR with children and adolescents.

Abstract:
The term psychotherapy has come to be applied to a broad array of nonmedical
interventions designed to alleviate psychologic distress, reduce maladaptive
behavior, or increase deficient adaptive behavior through counseling,
interaction, a training program, or a predetermined treatment plan. Although the
specific term is relatively recent historically, the general idea is ancient. Roots of
psychotherapy can be found in the ageless tradition of helping by listening,
discussing, and questioning. Among the early Greek philosophers, Socrates
developed a method and a thesis that presaged some modern forms of psychotherapy.
His approach involved questioning others to provoke them to examine
their beliefs, with the goal of bringing them closer to truth. His method reflected
his ‘‘midwife thesis,’’ the notion that the philosopher’s role is to deliver the truth
that already is within others, much as the midwife delivers the baby that is within
a mother. This idea, of course, is not so different from the view many modern
therapists have of their own professional roles. Other approaches that fall under the ‘‘psychotherapy umbrella’’ do not involve talk therapies but rather procedures
that parents, teachers, and other adults use to limit disobedient or disruptive
behavior by boys and girls or to help youngsters focus attention or behave less
impulsively. The struggle by adults to shape, manage, and guide youth behavior
certainly predates even the ancient Greeks.

Format: Conference
Abstract:
The development of the Shrinking Protocol and its application has given rise to many interesting questions relating to the nature of trauma in childhood including whether pre-verbal trauma exists and is treatable; what constitutes a trauma in childhood; how does attachment and family dynamics affect EMDR therapy; what is dissociation in childhood and how can it be managed in EMDR therapy; what are the effects of chronic long-term traumatisation in early childhood and how soon can these be addressed. Also interesting questions have included how does it get integrated with other therapeutic modes and when to start. Further interesting discoveries have also been made when applying it to special groups, for example children with ASD and other developmental and medical conditions. EMDR therapy for children and adolescents is now being found to have very wide-ranging applications.
This workshop will describe the evolution of the Shrinking Protocol which was based on the earlier work of Tinker & Wilson (1999) and demonstrate some of its different applications and uses with different conditions which will be illustrated with video clips. It also will demonstrate how EMDR therapy has led to new insights into the nature of traumatisation in childhood and suggest potential new directions for research and therapy.

Abstract:
Research on psychotherapy with children is generally underrepresented in the empirical literature.
Currently, there are four randomized clinical trials (RCT) evaluating EMDR in individual psychotherapy
with traumatized children—two for children diagnosed with PTSD and two for children presenting with
symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Since the first case studies of EMDR with children were published in
1993, 19 studies were identified that met the inclusion criteria for this review. The gold standards identified by Foa and Meadows (1997) to assess the methodology of studies designed to treat trauma were
applied to the research on EMDR with children. This analysis discusses the challenges to conducting
research on psychotherapy with children including the debate regarding the assessment and diagnosis of
PTSD in children. Recommendations for future studies designed with methodological rigor are suggested
to investigate the efficacy of EMDR with children who have experienced trauma and other mental health
symptoms and diagnoses.

Abstract:
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most recent additions to the armoury of treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This chapter briefly outlines the EMDR procedure, and reviews the growing number of outcome evaluation studies, before considering some of the recent theoretical explanations that have been offered. EMDR has been used with a variety of populations, and its use with children and adolescents is considered here. At the heart of EMDR is the notion that accelerated processing of disturbing material can be directly facilitated at a neurophysiological level using a variety of dual attention tasks. Accordingly, a by-product of resolution at the neurophysiological level is cognitive and emotional well-being. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was determine the efficacy of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) with traumatized adolescents primarily diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD). The effect of exposure to domestic violence and other forms of human initiated violence puts children at risk of developing significant mental health problems including CD and other childhood disorders that can have a profound effect on the community. In order to test the null hypotheses that the EMDR treatment protocol would not lead to any significant reduction in posttraumatic or behavioral symptoms with this population, a repeated measures MANOVA was utilized for four of the five dependent variables. These variables were the Impact of Event Scale (IES), the Child Report of Posttraumatic Symptoms (CROPS), the Parent Report of Posttraumatic Symptoms (PROPS), and the Problem Rating Scale (PRS). A simple two-group independent t-test analysis was used to analyze the fifth independent variable (reward points) and the 2-month follow-up data. All of the 5 null hypotheses were supported by an inferential analysis (MANOVA; t-test) of the dependent variables of this study. EMDR treatment was not found to be statistically significant on any of the dependent variables. Despite these findings, future research should continue to focus on the efficacy of EMDR with childhood trauma. Future research should also continue to focus on the emotional needs of children in residential treatment, the benefits of therapeutic as opposed to punitive intervention with delinquent youths, and the role that EMDR can play in breaking the cycle of violence in our society.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the identification, assessment, and treatment of child sexual abuse. The field of child sexual abuse has experienced an explosion of research, literature, and enhanced treatment methods over the last thirty years. Representing the latest refinements of thought in this field, this volume combines the most current research with a wealth of clinical experience. The contributing authors, many of whom are pioneers in their respective specialties, include researchers and clinicians, forensic interviewers and law enforcement professionals, caseworkers and victim advocates, all of whom do the work of helping children who have been sexually victimized. Offering a snapshot of the state of the field as it stands today, the authors explore a variety of issues related to child sexual abuse, from identification, assessment, and treatment methods to models for implementation and prevention, including: The impact of sexual abuse on the developing brain; The potential implications of early sexual victimization; Navigating the complexities of multidisciplinary teams; Forensic interviewing and clinical assessment; Treatment options for children who have traumagenic symptoms as a response to their sexual victimization; Treating children with sexual behavior problems and adolescents who engage in illegal sexual behavior; Secondary trauma and vicarious traumatization; and Cultural considerations and prevention efforts. Edited by a leader in the field of child therapy, this important reference equips helping professionals on the front lines in the battle against child sexual abuse- not merely with state-of-the-art knowledge, but also with a renewed vision for the importance of their role in the shaping of our culture and the healing of victimized children.

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively new form of psychotherapy for post-traumatic symptoms of relevance to systemic therapists. The literature available on individual EMDR in traumatized children is reviewed in this article. A sample of eight studies was examined, consisting of three controlled trials, two uncontrolled studies and three case reports or series. The controlled trials compared EMDR with waiting list controls or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The study samples were small and their methodological quality variable. In all the studies, the results suggested a positive effect for EMDR but did not appear superior to CBT. It is therefore possible that systemic interventions may be improved by the integration of EMDR and family therapy with children and adolescents.

Abstract:
While cognitive behavior therapy is considered to be the first-line therapy for adolescent depression, there are limited data on whether other psychotherapeutic techniques are also effective in treating adolescents with depression. This report suggests the potential application of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for treatment of depressive disorder related, not to trauma, but to stressful life events. At present, EMDR has only been empirically validated for only trauma-related disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Two teenagers with major depressive disorder (MDD) underwent three and seven sessions of EMDR aimed at memories of stressful life events. After treatment, their depressive symptoms decreased to the level of full remission, and the therapeutic gains were maintained after two and three months of follow up. The effectiveness of EMDR for depression is explained by the model of adaptive information processing. Given the powerful effects observed within a brief period of time, the authors suggest that further investigation of EMDR for depressive disorders is warranted.

Abstract:
This research project evaluated the effectiveness of using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques on children and adolescents (N = 20) between the ages of 7 to 18, who were experiencing anxiety due to traumatic memories. EMDR therapeutic techniques were administered in one 90-minute therapy session to subjects in an experimental group (N = 10) and after a 30-day waiting period, EMDR was administered to subjects in a delayed treatment group (N = 10) to help substantiate the effectiveness of using EMDR with this population. The results of the study indicated a highly significant reduction in anxiety related to traumatic memories in both an experimental group and a delayed treatment group, as measured by the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS), the Impact of Events (IES) scale, and in the delayed treatment group using the Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS) after treatment. There was a lack of significance in the reduction of anxiety in the experimental group, as measured by the Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS). The results showed a significant difference in cognition, changing from negative to positive thinking, as measured by the Validity of Cognition (VoC) scale. The findings demonstrate that EMDR may help to measure, treat, and enhance the lives of children and adolescents experiencing anxiety from traumatic memories. It is recommended that future research focus on using standardized psychological tests to support the efficacy of using EMDR with children and adolescents.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an overview of how eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) may be used to treat trauma/loss memories and related symptoms in children and adolescents. The literature on EMDR indicates not only that it works well, but that it may be more efficient than other methods. The reasons for its effect are unclear. Several cases are presented. It is important that clinicians receive formal training to use EMDR, and that it is integrated into a comprehensive trauma-informed treatment approach. [Text, p. 246]

Abstract:
This article examines the methodological rigor of randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) of eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) conducted
specifically with children and adolescents who had a diagnosis of posttraumatic
stress disorder and history of trauma. A thorough search for RCTs of EMDR with
children and adolescents that were published between 1998 and 2010 was conducted
utilizing several databases. A total of five studies were identified. Following an
extensive review of the literature, it became apparent that the number of RCTs
conducted with EMDR with children and adolescents was negligible, though initial
results suggest that it is a promising practice. Although current EMDR studies have
been conducted with children and adolescents, and have indicated that EMDR is a
promising practice, the state of knowledge at this point is insufficient. EMDR tends
to produce less positive results when compared to other trauma-focused interventions,
although some research indicates the opposite.

Language: English
Format: Novel(Book)
Abstract:
To quote the review of the hardcover in KLIATT, September 2005: Sixteen-year-old Anna kills her brother's girlfriend Cameron in a car crash after drinking at a party, but she was not drunk. Her best friend Ellen is also seriously injured. To make matters worse, Anna and her brother have an emotionally abusive father, a weak and distant mother, and this problem has driven a wedge into their relationship even before the trauma of the accident. This is a story of grief and the different ways people are changed by extreme events and how they heal. It is also the story of the power of friendship and the need for other people in our lives and suggests the necessity of forgiveness for the weakness of others. In addition, it explores the use of EMDR therapy to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. Frank's use of language and her powerful flashbacks, accompanied by her insight into the human condition, make this novel rich and compelling, one whose images linger in the memory after the last page. Frank (author of America, Friction, and Life is Funny) allows her characters to speak for themselves. No authorial voice jumps in to make pronouncements. The characters chide, comfort, warn, and get angry at each other and ultimately their interactions are an essential part of the healing process. This novel's themes and execution make it an excellent read for all adolescents, though younger teens may not appreciate it as much as older teens because of its sophisticated imagery.

Abstract:
Recognizing and treating symptoms of attachment trauma and dissociation are imperative clinical skills for effective treatment throughout the eight Phases of the EMDR Protocol with clients of any age. The presentation will review AIP theory and the eight-phase EMDR treatment protocol, the three-phase Dissociative Theory treatment, and tools for assessing dissociation in children and adolescents. Once evaluated, therapists will need to continue to assess emerging symptoms that can continue to arise and impede EMDR treatment. Clinical skills including grounding techniques, visualizations, identifying and integrating ego states, and mirroring and nurturing techniques, will be described and demonstrated for participants to implement throughout the EMDR Protocol.

Abstract:
The International Society for the Study of Dissociation (ISSD), the former
name of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation
(ISSTD), adopted the Guidelines for Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder
(Multiple Personality Disorder) in Adults in 1994. However, the Guidelines
must be responsive to developments in the field and require ongoing review.
The first revision of the Guidelines was proposed by the ISSD’s Standards
of Practice Committee1 and was adopted by the ISSD Executive Council
in 1997 after substantial comment from the ISSD membership. The second
revision of the Guidelines was requested and approved in 2005 based on the
expertise of a task force of expert clinicians and researchers.2 The current revision was undertaken by a new task force3 in 2009 and 2010 after input
from an open-ended survey of the membership.
The current revision of the Guidelines focuses specifically on the
treatment of dissociative identity disorder (DID) and those forms of dissociative
disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS) that are similar to DID.
It is intended as a practical guide to the management of adult patients
and represents a synthesis of current scientific knowledge and informed
clinical practice. There is a separate Guidelines for the Evaluation and
Treatment of Dissociative Symptoms in Children and Adolescents (ISSD,
2004) available through the ISSTD and published in the Journal of Trauma
& Dissociation. The American Psychiatric Association (2004) has published
Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Patients with Acute Stress Disorder
(ASD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which may be relevant to
the treatment of DID.

Abstract:
What if the brain had a similar mechanism for healing psychological injuries as the body does, just like a finger can heal a cut? Imagine tapping into that healing process in the brain and helping a child who witnessed her brother accidentally killed by a school bus, who then developed a school phobia, be able to return to school and eliminate her depression. What if you could help a foster child with a history of severe and chronic abuse, reduce his disruptive symptoms within a 9-month period so that he could stabilize and be adopted? Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be used in psychotherapy to help children heal from stressful experiences of both traumatic and developmental origins. And, while EMDR is not a magic wand, it is remarkable in its efficiency in reducing or eliminating significant mental health symptoms and healing the origins of trauma. This chapter is written for clinicians who have had little or no exposure to the EMDR treatment methodology or for those who may have wondered what it is and how it works. The goal of this chapter is to summarize the use of EMDR with children with case presentations woven through the steps of the EMDR protocol. As a potential paradigm shift for child and adolescent therapists who have been trained in child development and play therapy, this chapter will not only explain why EMDR with children and adolescents makes sense, but why EMDR is the treatment of choice for many children presenting with symptoms of trauma. The experienced child therapist will also learn how child development, play therapy, and other child-focused therapies can be integrated to overall case conceptualization with the eight phases of the EMDR protocol. Initially, this chapter provides a brief description of EMDR. While Chapter 5 covered EMDR with adult clients, this chapter will focus on translating the EMDR protocol into child language from a developmentally grounded perspective for use with child clients. Given that focus, this chapter will minimize coverage of generic EMDR content that was already covered in Chapter 5. However, some overlap is inescapable. For example, like Chapter 5, this chapter will address the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory that underlies the eight phases of the EMDR treatment protocol. This chapter also includes a brief theoretical overview of trauma and the impact on neurodevelopment as it guides psychotherapy. With a detailed explanation of the description, purpose, and concepts of each phase of the EMDR protocol, this chapter describes the clinical implications and procedural considerations for effectively using EMDR with children through each phase of the protocol. The chapter concludes with information for clinicians to learn how to get basic training in EMDR and advanced training in using EMDR with children. Integrated throughout this chapter are practical applications for successfully using EMDR in psychotherapy with children in order to heal the origins of trauma. With this introduction to EMDR, the reader should note that throughout this chapter, the terms client and child are often interchanged, and any reference to a child includes children and adolescents unless otherwise noted. Finally, the terms parent and caregiver refer to the child's primary caregiver. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract:
Every day, children are exposed to traumatic events. As a result, a significant subgroup of these children
develops post-traumatic stress symptoms and co-morbid problems. Although Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) is a major problem in children and adolescents, European treatment outcome studies
are still scarce in this population.
The current study is a randomized controlled trial of the Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(TF-CBT) protocol as designed by Cohen, Mannarino, and Deblinger; and the Dutch eye movement
desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) protocol for children (de Roos, Beer, de Jongh en ten Broeke).
Up to now a direct comparison of these treatment protocols is lacking.
Children between the age of 8 and 18 years with (partial) PTSD were randomly assigned to either 8
sessions TF-CBT or 8 sessions EMDR. In this presentation we will present first results from our trial.
Treatment results will be presented on outcome measures including PTSD-symptoms, co-morbid
symptoms and cognitions.

Abstract:
The potential benefits of the use of a permissive style of clinical hypnosis as a therapeutic medium to enhance eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) trauma treatment are explored. A comparative review of hypnosis and EMDR is provided, including putative psychophysiological mechanisms for both. A rationale for integrating clinical hypnosis with EMDR treatment is presented. It is suggested that hypnosis primarily enhances the accessibility of traumatic information while EMDR primarily enhances the reprocessing of traumatic information and that accessibility and reprocessing are reciprocal features. The relative and combined merits of hypnosis and EMDR for resource development are discussed. The author proposes that clinical hypnosis may be incorporated into EMDR without necessarily modifying the eight-stage EMDR protocol apart from modifications that are indicated for special conditions. Three case vignettes are used to illustrate the integrative use of clinical hypnosis and EMDR in the treatment of adults who experienced childhood abuse.

Abstract:
In een themanummer over EMDR mag een interview met Renée Beer en
Carlijn de Roos, de grondlegsters voor de toepassing bij kinderen en jeugdigen
in Nederland, niet ontbreken. Enerzijds omdat EMDR nog steeds veel vragen
oproept, anderzijds omdat wij hen aan het woord wilden laten over de wijze
waarop zij, in ons land, EMDR als behandelmethode voor kinderen en
jeugdigen tot ontwikkeling hebben gebracht.
Beiden bleken meteen enthousiast voor dit interview en wij raakten al snel
onder de indruk van het vele wat zij in korte tijd bereikt hebben.
Hoe zijn zij in aanraking gekomen met EMDR? Waren ze meteen enthousiast
of eerst nog wat sceptisch? Wat zijn de indicaties voor een EMDR behandeling
en wat de contra-indicaties? Welke EMDR behandelingen zullen ze nooit meer
vergeten? Voor welke problematiek vinden zij EMDR toepasbaar en wat zien
zij als de beperkingen van EMDR? Tegen welke misvattingen en vooroordelen
hebben ze moeten opboksen? Naast de antwoorden op deze vragen, wilden wij
tevens weten of EMDR al toegepast wordt ingeval van nationale rampen en of
Nederlandse EMDR therapeuten internationaal een rol spelen. Tenslotte
wilden we natuurlijk horen hoe zij tegen de toekomst met betrekking tot
EMDR aankijken.
In a special issue on EMDR may be an interview with Renee Beer and
Carlijn the Rose, the ground legs heaters for use in children and adolescents
in the Netherlands, not missing. Firstly, because EMDR still many questions
calls, and secondly because we wanted to let them have their say on the way
which they, in our country, EMDR as a treatment for children and
youth development have brought.
Both were immediately excited for this interview and we soon became
impressed by the many things they have achieved in a short time.
How did they come into contact with EMDR? They were immediately enthusiastic
or get a little skeptical? What are the indications for EMDR treatment
and what the contraindications? What EMDR treatments, they will never
password? For what issues they find EMDR applicable and see what
they see as the limitations of EMDR? At what misconceptions and prejudices
they have to compete? Besides the answers to these questions, we wanted
also know if EMDR is already applied in cases of national disasters and whether
Dutch EMDR therapists play an international role. finally

Abstract:
Getraumatiseerde vluchtelingen en allochtone jongeren hebben specifieke ontwikkelingsbehoeften. Om te voldoen aan de ontwikkelingsbehoeften in behandeling, om methoden te wijzigen op korte termijn groepstherapie voor getraumatiseerde kinderen van vluchtelingen, zoals beschreven door Angel-Poblete (1995) worden gepresenteerd. De methoden zijn oefeningen die de vijf zintuigen te stimuleren, om de interventies omgaan met 'acting out', en een ontspanningsoefening ontwikkeld op basis van Eye Movement Desensibilisatie and Reprocessing (EMDR) - die allemaal worden beoefend in het kader van een nauwe samenwerking met ouders en school personeel. Deze presentatie is gebaseerd op het werk met dertien groepen van deelnemers (N = 98) van beide geslachten en uit verschillende landen, 16-20 jaar oud (mediane leeftijd van 17 jaar oud). De theoretische basis, planning, uitvoering en de resultaten worden beschreven. Evaluaties met de deelnemers en school personeel, alsmede de reacties van de ouders, geven positieve therapeutische resultaten. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, alle rechten voorbehouden)
Traumatized refugee and immigrant adolescents have specific developmental needs. To meet those developmental needs in treatment, methods to modify the short term group therapy for traumatized refugee children as described by Angel-Poblete (1995) are presented. The methods are exercises that stimulate the five senses, interventions to deal with acting out, and a relaxation exercise developed from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - all of which are practiced within the framework of close cooperation with parents and school personnel. This presentation is based on the work with thirteen groups of participants (N = 98) of both sexes and from different countries, 16-20 years old (median age of 17 years old). The theoretical basis, planning, execution, and results are described. Evaluations with the participants and school personnel, as well as the reactions of the parents, indicate positive therapeutic results. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

This study aims to assess the treatment outcomes of MASTR-EMDR therapy for sexually abused adolescents. Participants (n-30) were randomly assigned to the MASTR-EMDR therapy group or to a group receiving the usual treatment offered by Youth Protection Services. The MASTR component addresses treatment obstacles in youth with behavior problems and EMDR targets trauma resolution. Participants completed questionnaires on posttraumatic symptoms and behavior problems at the start of the study (pre-treatment), after completing either MASTR-EMDR or the routine treatment, and a 3-month follow-up. Repeated ANCOVA tests showed that MASTR-EMDR is associated with significant improvements compared with a control group and that these effects are maintained over time.

Abstract:
L’Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) nasce come
interevento elettivo nella terapia del Disturbo Post-traumatico da Stress
(PTSD) e, in particolar modo nelle fasi iniziali del suo consolidamento
clinico e teoretico, ha calibrato il proprio protocollo di intervento standard sul
PTSD generato da combattimenti bellici, catastrofi naturali e provocate
dall’uomo. L’abuso sessuale, soprattutto se avvenuto nell’infanzia, in modo
prolungato ed all’interno di un contesto familiare (ovvero il tipo di abuso
sessuale sul quale concentrerò ora la mia attenzione), è un tipo di evento
traumatico che può presentare caratteristiche peculiari: elementi dissociativi
da marcati ad assenti, alterazioni mnestiche e codifiche mnestiche statodipendenti,
massicci meccanismi di repressione operanti anche per decenni,
condizionamento negativo dell’evoluzione del sistema comportamentale
dell’attaccamento, presenza di memorie somatiche di difficile gestione da
parte del paziente, disturbi sessuali, difficoltà nell’instaurazione e nel
mantenimento della relazione terapeutica. L’abuso sessuale intrafamiliare si
accompagna abitualmente alla trascuratezza emotiva ed alla violenza
psicologica, in alcuni casi anche a quella fisica. Di fronte ad un quadro
2
clinico così complesso (laddove la presenza di PTSD è semplicemente uno
dei possibili esiti psicopatologici, e con ogni probabilità non il più
frequente), l’intervento con l’EMDR richiede modificazioni rispetto al
protocollo standard di intervento per il PTSD ma, soprattutto, l'inserimento
all'interno di un intervento clinico di respiro decisamente più ampio rispetto
all’impiego di algoritmi terapeutici ridotti all’essenziale. Il sottoscritto ritiene
che, al momento attuale, lo studio più approfondito sull’argomento sia una
pubblicazione di Laurel Parnell del 1999. Personalmente, ed in modo
concorde con quest’ultimo autore, ho verificato la notevole efficacia
nell’operare con l'EMDR - anche molto direttivamente - sulla storia di
attaccamento del paziente al fine di colmarne le falle evolutive o eliminare gli
ostacoli per il conseguimento di questo fondamentale obiettivo terapeutico.

Abstract:
Le modèle «conte de fées» et la thérapie MASTR pour traiter les traumatismes chez les jeunes ont été développés par Dr. Ricky Greenwald. Il s’agit d’un protocole thérapeutique préparatoire pour faciliter l’EMDR avec les préadolescents et adolescents. Ce modèle a permis d’obtenir des résultats intéressants pour ce qui est de l’intervention face à divers comportements problématiques, notamment les troubles de la conduite, l’agression, la violence familiale, la maltraitance et l’abus de substances. Cette présentation propose un survol des éléments du cadre théorique, un résumé des résultats de recherche en appui au modèle et l’enseignement
d’habiletés cliniques qui tiennent compte du trauma pour effectuer l’évaluation et la planification du traitement. À l’aide d’exercices pratiques, d’une démonstration et d’un extrait vidéo, les quatre premières séances seront

The Fairy Tale Model and MASTR Protocol in the treatment of traumas in youths were both developed by Dr. Ricky Greenwald. It’s a protocol designed to prepare for and to facilitate EMDR processing with pre-teens and teens. This approach provides interesting results with a wide array of problem behaviour: aggression, family
violence, substance abuse, etc. This workshop’s goal is to present the theoretical framework for this model, the results of studies supporting its use, as well as teaching clinical skills that take into account the trauma history when evaluating and planning for treatment. This workshop will focus on the first 4 sessions: contact – history taking (trauma & losses) – dreams for the future – and the therapeutic contract. Practices, demonstrations and video excerpts will be provided.

Abstract:
Two decades of research demonstrate the efficacy of exposure therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The efficacy of prolonged exposure (PE), a specific exposure therapy program for PTSD that has been disseminated throughout the world, has been established in many controlled studies using different trauma populations. However, a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of PE for PTSD has not been conducted to date. The purpose of the current paper is to estimate the overall efficacy of PE for PTSD relative to adequate controls. We included all published randomized controlled trials of PE vs. control (wait-list or psychological placebo) for the treatment of PTSD in adolescents or adults. Treatments were classified as PE if they included multiple sessions of imaginal and in vivo exposure and were based on the manualized treatment developed by Foa, Rothbaum, Riggs, and Murdock (1991). Thirteen studies with a total sample size of 675 participants met the final inclusion criteria. The primary analyses showed a large effect for PE versus control on both primary (Hedges's g = 1.08) and secondary (Hedges's g = 0.77) outcome measures. Analyses also revealed medium to large effect sizes for PE at follow-up, both for primary (Hedges's g = 0.68) and secondary (Hedges's g = 0.41) outcome measures. There was no significant difference between PE and other active treatments (CPT, EMDR, CT, and SIT). Effect sizes were not moderated by time since trauma, publication year, dose, study quality, or type of trauma. The average PE-treated patient fared better than 86% of patients in control conditions at post-treatment on PTSD measures. PE is a highly effective treatment for PTSD, resulting in substantial treatment gains that are maintained over time.

Abstract:
Trauma is proposed as a key to understanding the development and persistence of adolescent conduct problems, in conjunction with other contributing factors. A trauma-focused individual therapy approach is presented as one example of how this population might be more effectively treated. This approach features motivational interviewing, self-control training (cognitive-behavioral therapy), and trauma resolution (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). This paper reports on an open trial of six adolescents with school and conduct problems who received school-based Motivation-Adaptive Skills-Trauma Resolution (MASTR) treatment. Reductions in post-traumatic stress, related symptoms, and problem behaviors, along with improved school performance, indicate the value of further study of this treatment approach. [Author Summary]

Language: English

Abstract:
EMDR is an effective and principled intervention to help people with the impact of
trauma. It also offers powerful resource development approaches. These are useful as preparation
work in processing trauma, but also valuable interventions in themselves. This can be very helpful when circumstances preclude doing trauma work, or when only brief interventions are possible.
Positive installations and resource development are also apt for use with children and young
people, addressing real world functioning in what is often an enjoyable and rewarding way.
Many resource development approaches are well known, and have been used in both standard
and novel ways by practitioners. Others have been developed by individual practitioners, and
also their clients. Often, therefore, there are good methods that could be more widely known.
This workshop presents an account of both standard and non-standard resource development
techniques, with an opportunity for participants to present their own good practice and share
knowledge. There will also be a discussion of resource development within the EMDR protocol,
as part of a principled model for this kind of work., but with a practical view as to how resource
development can make trauma processing both easier and more effective. This paper gives an
overview of using RID with children. We will look at a whole range of RID’s- common ones and
some non-standard, innovative ones. With the participants we will look at purposes, pitfalls, the
extent to which any can be safely ‘given away’, and any experiences of using these in groups. To
our knowledge, the field has not been drawn together in this way, and we hope through a mixture
of presentation and discussion to begin to share our experiences, and develop peoples’ confidence
in extending their repertoire.

Abstract:
Background: Increasingly clinicians are being asked to assess and treat young refugees, who have experienced traumatic events due to war and organised violence. However, evidence-based guidance remains scarce. Mthod: Published studies on the mental health difficulties of refugee children and adolescents, associated risk and protective factors, as well as effective interventions, particularly those designed to reduce war-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, were identified and reviewed. The findings are summarised. Results: Young refugees are frequently subjected to multiple traumatic events and severe losses, as well as ongoing stressors within the host country. Although young refugees are often resilient, many experience mental health difficulties, including PTSD, depression, anxiety and grief. An awareness of relevant risk and protective factors is important. A phased model of intervention is often useful and the need for a holistic approach crucial. Promising treatments for alleviating symptoms of war-related PTSD include cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT), testimonial psychotherapy, narrative exposure therapy (NET) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). Knowledge of the particular needs of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC), working with interpreters, cross-cultural differences, medico-legal report writing and the importance of clinician self-care is also necessary. Conclusion: More research is required in order to expand our limited knowledge base.

Abstract:
Annalisa Field and David Cottrell's careful and balanced summary of the current state of evidence of the effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with children and adolescents is to be welcomed. They conclude that there is, despite an overall lack of good quality studies, some encouraging emerging evidence. They set out a future scenario for development in which these hopeful indications may be sufficient to convince clinicians to train and consider using EMDR in practice. That may in turn lead to more people publishing the results of their nascent practice, and greater availability of therapists would enable larger scale randomized controlled studies to be designed and carried out. In this clinical addendum I seek to complement Field and Cottrell's sense of promise by setting out ways in which EMDR has become incorporated in my systemic psychotherapy practice during the last 3 years.

El Reprocesamiento y Desensibilización a través del Movimiento Ocular (EMDR) por sus siglas en inglés, es reconocido como un tratamiento efectivo y eficiente para tratar asuntos relacionados con trauma. Este artículo describe la aplicación de una intervención grupal con EMDR para niños y adultos traumatizados por desastres naturales en varios países de Latinoamérica. Para ejemplificar la aplicación del modelo, se describe un estudio de campo medido formalmente y nueve proyectos piloto. Los prometedores resultados de esta intervención grupal sugieren que el EMDR es un medio efectivo para dar tratamiento a grandes grupos de personas afectadas por eventos traumáticos en gran escala (desastres naturales, terrorismo). Es necesaria más investigación controlada sobre este tema.
EMDR has been accepted as an effective and efficient approach in the treatment of trauma related issues. A model is described for using an EMDR group intervention for children and adults traumatized by natural disasters in several Latin American countries. To exemplify the application of the model, one formally measured field study and nine pilot projects are described. The promising outcomes of this intervention suggest that EMDR is an effective means for providing treatment to large groups of survivors affected by large scale traumatic events (natural disasters, terrorism, etc.). Anyway, more controlled research about this issue is needed. [Author Abstract]

Format: Journal
Abstract:
Background:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is highly prevalent in children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and has high
personal and health costs. Although a wide range of psychological therapies have been used in the treatment of PTSD there are no
systematic reviews of these therapies in children and adolescents.
Objectives:
To examine the effectiveness of psychological therapies in treating children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with PTSD.
Search methods:
We searched the Cochrane Depression, Anxiety and Neurosis Review Group’s Specialised Register (CCDANCTR) to December 2011.
The CCDANCTR includes relevant randomised controlled trials fromthe following bibliographic databases: CENTRAL (the Cochrane
Central Register of Controlled Trials) (all years), EMBASE (1974 -), MEDLINE (1950 -) and PsycINFO (1967 -). We also checked
reference lists of relevant studies and reviews. We applied no date or language restrictions.
Selection criteria:
All randomised controlled trials of psychological therapies compared to a control, pharmacological therapy or other treatments in
children or adolescents exposed to a traumatic event or diagnosed with PTSD.
Data collection and analysis:
Two members of the review group independently extracted data. If differences were identified, they were resolved by consensus, or
referral to the review team.
We calculated the odds ratio (OR) for binary outcomes, the standardised mean difference (SMD) for continuous outcomes, and 95%
confidence intervals (CI) for both, using a fixed-effect model. If heterogeneity was found we used a random-effects model. Main results
Fourteen studies including 758 participants were included in this review. The types of trauma participants had been exposed to included
sexual abuse, civil violence, natural disaster, domestic violence and motor vehicle accidents. Most participants were clients of a traumarelated
support service.
The psychological therapies used in these studies were cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exposure-based, psychodynamic, narrative,
supportive counselling, and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). Most compared a psychological therapy to a
control group. No study compared psychological therapies to pharmacological therapies alone or as an adjunct to a psychological
therapy.
Across all psychological therapies, improvement was significantly better (three studies, n = 80, OR 4.21, 95% CI 1.12 to 15.85) and
symptoms of PTSD (seven studies, n = 271, SMD -0.90, 95% CI -1.24 to -0.42), anxiety (three studies, n = 91, SMD -0.57, 95% CI
-1.00 to -0.13) and depression (five studies, n = 156, SMD -0.74, 95% CI -1.11 to -0.36) were significantly lower within a month of
completing psychological therapy compared to a control group.
The psychological therapy for which there was the best evidence of effectiveness was CBT. Improvement was significantly better for
up to a year following treatment (up to one month: two studies, n = 49, OR 8.64, 95% CI 2.01 to 37.14; up to one year: one study,
n = 25, OR 8.00, 95% CI 1.21 to 52.69). PTSD symptom scores were also significantly lower for up to one year (up to one month:
three studies, n = 98, SMD -1.34, 95% CI -1.79 to -0.89; up to one year: one study, n = 36, SMD -0.73, 95% CI -1.44 to -0.01),
and depression scores were lower for up to a month (three studies, n = 98, SMD -0.80, 95% CI -1.47 to -0.13) in the CBT group
compared to a control. No adverse effects were identified.
No study was rated as a high risk for selection or detection bias but a minority were rated as a high risk for attrition, reporting and
other bias. Most included studies were rated as an unclear risk for selection, detection and attrition bias.
Authors’ conclusions:
There is evidence for the effectiveness of psychological therapies, particularly CBT, for treating PTSD in children and adolescents for
up to a month following treatment. At this stage, there is no clear evidence for the effectiveness of one psychological therapy compared
to others. There is also not enough evidence to conclude that children and adolescents with particular types of trauma are more or less
likely to respond to psychological therapies than others.
The findings of this review are limited by the potential for methodological biases, and the small number and generally small size
of identified studies. In addition, there was evidence of substantial heterogeneity in some analyses which could not be explained by
subgroup or sensitivity analyses.
More evidence is required for the effectiveness of all psychological therapiesmore than one month after treatment.Much more evidence
is needed to demonstrate the relative effectiveness of different psychological therapies or the effectiveness of psychological therapies
compared to other treatments. More details are required in future trials in regards to the types of trauma that preceded the diagnosis
of PTSD and whether the traumas are single event or ongoing. Future studies should also aim to identify the most valid and reliable
measures of PTSD symptoms and ensure that all scores, total and sub-scores, are consistently reported.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Despite the prevalence of childhood trauma, studies regarding psychotherapy for children suffering from PTSD are scarce, especially regarding the treatment for pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma. Treatment practices for this population rely mainly on the paradigms of therapy for adult PTSD and pediatric PTSD following sexual abuse. This review outlines the studies published in the last 10 years pertaining to the treatment of pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma. This is done in the context of available literature on the paradigms mentioned above. Of 742 articles dealing with treatment of pediatric trauma, 10 were found relevant to the treatment of pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma. The modalities of treatment most frequently reported in this context were cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and play therapy. As a whole, CBT studies were methodologically more rigorous, used manualized, reproducible treatment, and were group, school-based therapies. EMDR treatments were usually short and individual. Most studies showed statistically significant improvement but were still methodologically lacking. We conclude that research on the subject of treatment for pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma constitutes a neglected part of the study of pediatric PTSD. This stands in contrast to the obvious prevalence of this type of trauma. We encourage future research that will address issues such as clarifying the role of pharmacotherapy, comparing different modes of treatment, dismantling treatment "packages", researching developmentally sensitive treatments, conducting long-term follow-up, and comparing different PTSD populations.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Background: Building on previous research with disaster-exposed children and adolescents, a randomised
clinical trial was performed in the treatment of trauma-related symptoms. In the current study two active
treatments were compared among children in a broad age range and from a wide diversity of ethnic
populations.
Objective: The primary aim was to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
(CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Design: Children (n52, aged 418) were randomly allocated to either CBT (n26) or EMDR (n26) in a
disaster mental health after-care setting after an explosion of a fireworks factory. All children received up to
four individual treatment sessions over a 48 week period along with up to four sessions of parent guidance.
Blind assessment took place pre- and post-treatment and at 3 months follow-up on a variety of parent-rated
and self-report measures of post-traumatic stress disorder symptomatology, depression, anxiety, and
behaviour problems. Analyses of variance (general linear model repeated measures) were conducted on the
intention-to-treat sample and the completers.
Results: Both treatment approaches produced significant reductions on all measures and results were
maintained at follow-up. Treatment gains of EMDR were reached in fewer sessions.
Conclusion: Standardised CBT and EMDR interventions can significantly improve functioning of disasterexposed
children.

Abstract:
This thesis attempts to provide an up-to-date overview of school-based intervention programs for symptoms of traumatic stress. The objectives were: 1) to identify school-based intervention programs for preventing or reducing symptoms of traumatic stress, 2) to examine the effectiveness of the intervention programs, and 3) to identify the accordance of the intervention programs with three current theories of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The three main academic databases used to locate the studies for this thesis were ERIC, PsycINFO, and MEDLINE. Inclusionary/exclusionary criteria included: 1) use of a control group, 2) use of randomized/quasi-experimental design, 3) school setting, 4) participant exposure to a traumatic event, 5) targeted at the prevention/ reduction of symptoms of traumatic stress, 6) use of standardized instruments, and 7) not targeted Type II trauma. Using these criteria, 19 studies conducted in 11 different countries were selected. Unfortunately, school-based studies conducted in Norway were not located. The selected studies dealt with various types of trauma exposure such as natural disasters, community violence, and war. Fourteen of the studies used cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) methods as the main treatment approach. Other treatment approaches used included Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mind-body techniques (e.g., guided imagery, relaxation techniques, and meditation), play therapy, art therapy, and drama. The findings of this thesis suggest that intervention provided within the school setting can be effective in helping children and adolescents following a variety of traumatic events. The majority of the studies had good results in relation to reducing symptoms of PTSD. Of the 19 studies, 14 had effect sizes in the medium to large range. Most of the intervention programs were found to be in accordance with the treatment recommendations of the three theories presented; however, none appeared to be explicitly based on the theories.

Abstract:
Selbstverletzendes Verhalten wie Sich-Schneiden und Kratzen kommt sowohl bei männlichen als auch bei weiblichen Jugendlichen verhältnismäßig häufig vor. Es handelt sich dabei in den meisten Fällen um den Ausdruck schwerwiegender psychischer und/oder sozialer Belastungen und sollte als Hinweis darauf gewertet werden, dass der oder die Jugendliche Hilfe und Unterstützung benötigt. Dieser Beitrag befasst sich vor allem mit den aktuellen Möglichkeiten der Diagnostik und Therapie selbstverletzenden Verhaltens. Beispielhaft werden Selbstbeurteilungsinstrumente vorgestellt, die verschiedene Aspekte selbstverletzenden Verhaltens detailliert erfassen. Sie können bei der Identifikation und Differenzialdiagnostik, aber auch zur Vorbereitung, Begleitung und Evaluation therapeutischer Maßnahmen eingesetzt werden. Als besonders vielversprechende Interventionsmöglichkeiten werden die DBT-A (Dialektisch-Behaviorale Therapie für Adoleszente) und das Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) vorgestellt, wobei für die DBT-A bereits erste positive empirische Befunde vorliegen. Die Wirksamkeit dieser Verfahren sollte zukünftig möglichst in kontrolliert-randomisierten Studien geprüft werden.
Self-injurious behavior without suicidal intent, like wrist-cutting or scratching, is quite common among male and female adolescents. It indicates severe psychological strain and can be interpreted as a call for help and support. This paper introduces several currently available assessment tools as well as therapeutic strategies. Self-report questionnaires can be implemented to identify self-injurious behavior and in order to discriminate it from other types of psychopathology, for example suicidal behavior. Furthermore, they can be used to prepare, adapt and evaluate therapeutic interventions.

Abstract:
EMDR techniques with children following crisis will be demonstrated drawing from interventions developed directly at international disaster
sites. The nature of immediate intervention with dramatic trauma problems will be addressed in terms of treatment goals, techniques and
outcomes. Safety preparation skills using interactive safe place and a quick phobia protocol to clear prior problems will be taught. This approach will be contrasted with more routine treatment for past trauma and resistant family system problems. Clinical issues will be analyzed with videotaped cases treated both in childhood and later in adolescence.
Repetitive themes and unresolved issues will be highlighted. The evolution of therapist experience with resultant refinement of treatment skills will be discussed.

Abstract:
De Gelderse Roos Kinderen en Jongeren biedt gespecialiseerde hulp. In de afgelopen jaren hebben we ruime ervaring opgedaan met de signalering, diagnostiek en behandeling van getraumatiseerde kinderen en jongeren. Sinds enige tijd werken we met een kernteam van traumadeskundigen, waardoor we in ons hele werkgebied cliënten en verwijzers deskundige hulp kunnen geven. De avond is bedoeld voor medewerkers van jeugdgezondheidszorgdiensten, huisartsen, jeugdhulpverleners, medewerkers van Bureau Jeugdzorg, interne begeleiders en andere geïnteresseerden. Vooraf aanmelden is noodzakelijk!
U krijgt inzicht in criteria voor signalering en stappen die u vervolgens kunt nemen. Ook krijgt u inzicht in onze behandelmogelijkheden en de wijze waarop wij samenwerken met andere instellingen. De tweede en derde lezing geven u inzicht in EMDR-behandeling. EMDR betekent "Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing" en is een van de voorkeurs behandelmethodes bij posttraumatische stressstoornissen, maar ook toepasbaar bij andere traumagerelateerde problemen. Kenmerkend voor EMDR is dat gebruik gemaakt wordt van een bilaterale afleidende stimulatie in de vorm van oogbewegingen, "klikjes" - afwisselend links/rechts door middel van een koptelefoon - of tactiele stimulatie ("tappen"). Hierdoor blijkt het verwerkingsproces gestimuleerd te worden.
The Roos Gelderse Children and Youth provides specialized assistance. In recent years we have gained experience with the detection, diagnosis and treatment of traumatized children and adolescents. For some time we work with a core team of trauma experts, allowing us throughout our area clients and referrers can give expert help.
The evening is designed for employees of youth health care services, GPs, youth workers, Youth Bureau staff, internal support staff and other interested parties. Advance registration is required!
You will gain insight into criteria for signaling and then steps you can take. You also get an insight into our treatment options and how we cooperate with other institutions. The second and third readings give you insight into EMDR treatment. EMDR does "Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing" and is one of the preferred treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder, but also applicable to other trauma related problems. Typical of EMDR is that use is made of a bilateral distracting stimulation in the form of eye movements, "clicks" - alternating left / right through a headset - or tactile stimulation (tapping). This process appears to be stimulated.

Abstract:
Twenty children and adolescents were treated for a single traumatic memory with a single session of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Treatment was delayed 1 m for half the group. Over half of the 20 participants moved from Clinical to Normal levels on the Impact of Events Scale, and all but 3 showed at least partial symptom relief on several measures at 1-3 m following a single EMDR session.
Results should be interpreted with caution, but were positive, and essentially consistent with analogous findings of EMDR with adults.

Abstract:
Stabiliser et traiter les enfants traumatisés et souvent dissociés peut être compliqué. En apparence, ils peuvent sembler fonctionner relativement bien. Leurs stratégies d'évitement paraissent efficaces et ils refusent de parler du trauma ou disent qu'ils l'ont oublié. Cela ne les perturbe plus. Mais le désir du thérapeute de laisser les chiens dormir tranquillement est une stratégie dangereuse. Sous cette apparence de bon fonctionnement extérieur l'enfant est terrifié, constamment en alerte et seul, incapable de trouver le réconfort. Cet enfant ne peut s'attacher et ce manque d'attachement sécure peut dévaster son développement futur. Cependant, ce n'est que par une anamnèse détaillée réalisée par les soignants et les instituteurs que ces problèmes souvent cachés peuvent être révélés.
Arianne expliquera les principes de base de la dissociation et de la dissociation structurelle chez les enfants dans le but d'aider à les traiter.
Dans ce workshop, elle fera une démonstration du "6 tests", un nouveau modèle unique de stabilisation pour enfants. La stabilisation inclut la motivation, la psycho-éducation, la création d'un lieu sûr, l'activation du système d'attachement, des outils d'auto-régulation, des changements cognitifs, etc . Le "6 tests" aide le thérapeute à décider si l'enfant a besoin de stabilisation supplémentaire et comment l'établir avant de commencer l'EMDR.
Stabilize and treat traumatized children and often dissociated can be complicated. Outwardly, they may appear to function relatively well. Their avoidance strategies seem effective and they refuse to talk about the trauma or say they have forgotten. That does not disturb more. But the therapist's desire to let the dogs sleep in peace is a dangerous strategy. Under the appearance of functioning outside the child is terrified, alone and constantly alert, unable to find comfort. This child can not concentrate and lack of secure attachment can devastate its future development. However, it is only through a detailed history completed by caregivers and teachers that these often hidden problems can be revealed.
Arianne will explain the basic principles of unbundling and structural separation of children in order to help address them.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Five examples of nontraditional psychosocial treatments used for children/adolescents are reviewed: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback, deep pressure/touch therapies, stress-challenge treatments, and confrontational scare treatments. The generic recommendations from the September 1992 National Institutes of Health Conference on Unconventional Medical Treatments are summarized. Additional screening principles specific for psychosocial treatments are proposed and applied to the five treatments. The screens do not validate treatment efficacy or evaluate the quality of any previous research, but only facilitate decisions as to whether treatments deserve controlled investigation. Scientific evaluation of the nontraditional treatments reviewed could in general benefit from blinds (at least for assessment); control conditions matched for intensity, frequency, and duration (double blind where feasible); dose-response studies; testing of generalization and endurance supplements or boosters for quick, cheap treatments with time- or domain-limited effects; and comparing cost-effectiveness with established treatments. Two unscientific pitfalls must be avoided: embracing new treatments uncritically and rejecting them without fair examination. These pitfalls must be skirted without dissipating scarce research resources. [Author Abstract]

TAFO study II (Task force) long-term evaluation of specific therapeutic early interventions following acute strain among children and adolescents with multiple trauma experience. Symposium conducted at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Hamburg, Germany.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Existing research into the after effects of
traumatic experiences with regard to children and adolescents
is scanty. Early intervention is intended to prevent or at least
reduce chronic manifestation of acute traumatic strain (Zehnder,
Hornung & Lanolt, 2006) since such strain has a negative
impact on the child's day-to-day quality of life and overall development, including the development and functioning of the
brain (Cohen, Perel, DeBellis, Friedman & Putnam, 2002).
Studies of multiple trauma among adults and adolescents have
shown that the severity of any impairment upon their psychological
health must be seen in relation to the number of traumatic experiences
that took place during childhood (Turner RJ, Lloyd DA
1995, Finkelhor D, Omrod RK, Turner HA 2007-1, Finkelhor D,
Omrod RK, Turner HA 2007-11, Holt MK. Finkelhor D, Kantor CK
2007). In this process, interpersonal traumatic experiences such
as accidents or severe illnesses can adversely affect development
as much as traumatic exposure connected to elements of crime.
Objectives: Interventions following acute traumatic strain will
be examined with regard to the symptoms and the mental
health of children and adolescents with multiple trauma experience
in the long term. The study will examine whether early
intervention has a positive effect on symptoms and whether
such effects are of a short or long-term nature.
The study should show whether gender specific and/or age
specific correlation can be identified in the development of
symptoms according to specific types of trauma, and whether
risk groups can be identified as a result.
The study will examine whether there exists an independent sub-group of children with multiple trauma under the age of 6,
whose symptoms correspond to a developmental trauma disorder
(van der Kolk 2005).
Methods: The study will be divided into a retrospective and
prospective part. The retrospective part will contain an examination of the treatment results of 150 children and adolescents
with multiple trauma experiences in the Vestische Children's
Clinic in Datteln between 2002 and 2009. This will be followed
by an evaluation of the treatment results by way of a newly
developed telephone catamnesis, based on validated questionnaires
(CRIES-13, ILK, Telekat) for measurement points TI-T3
Results: First results of the retrospective examination of children
and adolescents with multiple trauma experience will be presented
in comparison to the results of the evaluation of specific
therapeutic early interventions following acute strain among
children and adolescents with mono trauma experience.

Abstract:
Explores the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with children and adolescents. The book demystifies the application of EMDR for children, from the first session with the parents to later sessions with children at all developmental stages. The adult protocol is modified so that it can be applied to children as young as two years old (and possibly younger). A system of classification of childhood trauma allows therapists to predict a child's response to EMDR is presented. Myriad cases illustrate the use of EMDR with various traumas. Many examples of simple traumas are presented, including automobile accidents, lightning strikes, bereavement, and specific phobias such as a fear of animals. In addition, cases illustrate success with complex traumas, where aspects of the trauma are ongoing and EMDR becomes part of several possible therapeutic interventions. EMDR is also discussed as an intervention for children who have problems that are not caused by trauma. Case illustrations show how EMDR can be used with children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depressive, or reactive attachment disorders as well as learning difficulties and somatoform disorders.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Therapy (EMDR), which is a somewhat controversial
technique involving recalling traumatic memories
while focusing on personal strengths and engaging in
distracting behaviors such as lateral eye movements.
EMDR generally is conducted for fewer sessions
than TF-CBT, and has shown preliminary evidence
of efficacy with conduct-disordered boys [38], child
disaster survivors [39], and girls who experienced
sexual abuse [40]. EMDR [41] is generally conducted
as only one part of a multimodal therapy program
rather than a stand-alone treatment.
Neurobiological treatment outcome studies in adults with PTSD have shown that successful treatment is
associated with changes in activity of frontal brain areas and the amygdala, brain areas which are
involved in fear conditioning and extinction. Frontal brain regions undergo considerable maturation
during childhood and adolescence and only reach anatomical and functional maturity well within the
third decade of life. In this light, results obtained in neurobiological studies in adults can’t be readily
translated to children and adolescents. Neurobiological treatment outcome studies in children with
PTSD are thus required, yet are almost nonexistent to date. Neurobiological treatment outcome studies
addressing the mechanism involved in treatment response or non response can contribute to improve
treatment strategies for non responders especially for treatment non responders and in time help
clinicians to tailor treatment for individuals with PTSD.
In this part of the symposium we will present treatment outcome data of our neurobiological pilot study
conducted in children with PTSD in the Netherlands. Children aged 8 to 18 with PTSD were randomly
assigned to receive either 8 sessions of manualized Trauma Focus cognitive behavioral therapy or EMDR.
fMRI data of a working memory task with emotional distracters and physiological data obtained during
script driven imagery will be presented. Treatment outcome results will be placed in a
neurodevelopmental framework.
Trauma is proposed as a key to understanding the development and persistence of conduct disorder in conjunction with other contributing factors. Trauma history is virtually universal in this population, and trauma effects can help to account for many features of the disorder including lack of empathy, impulsivity, anger, acting out, and resistance to treatment. The current standard of care fails to fully address trauma, which may partially explain the low success rate. A trauma-focused individual therapy approach is presented as one example of how this population might be more effectively treated. This approach features motivational interviewing, self-control training, and trauma resolution and integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Two illustrative case examples are presented and discussed. [Author Abstract]
Behandlung psychotraumatischer belastungsstörungen mit EMDR
Die Entwicklung des Kindes ist heutzutage als Prozess zu verstehen. Ein Kind ist dementsprechend zu jedem Zeitpunkt seiner Entwicklung "reif", einschließlich seines intrauterinen Lebens, d.h. es verfügt über die für die jeweilige Zeit notwenige Ausstattung. Von Beginn an erfolgt dieses mehr oder weniger störanfällige Geschehen mit anderen im aktiven intra- und interagierenden informativen, energetischen und stofflichen Austausch. An diesem Entwicklungsprozess nimmt der gesamte Körper, jede Zelle, einschließlich des Gehirns als Organ der sensomotorischen und psychophysischen Verarbeitung teil. Die Stressreaktion und Stress auf bewältigbarem Niveau hilft dem Kind kritische Phasen zu überstehen (Hüther, 1999). Jedoch führt nicht bewältigbarer Stress zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen funktionell bis strukturell, wenn der Organismus keine neue Lösungsmöglichkeit findet. Mehrere Autoren belegen, dass traumatische Erlebnisse Veränderungen im limbischen System und Cortex zeigen können (Hüther, 1999; van den Kolk, 1998; Roth, 1998). Bei unkontrolliertem Stress (frühzeitig) kommt es zur Daueraktivierung der Amygdala und über die Amygdala zur Aktivierung mehrerer Systeme, unter anderem auch der Hypothalamus-Hypophysen-Nebennieren- Achse mit einem Ausschütten von Stresshormonen. Diese Daueraktivierung löst körperlich die Notfallreaktion im Sinne einer Schockreaktion aus, gleichzeitig führt sie zur Störung der Einspeicherung von Informationen in den Hippocampus. Die imaginativ-methodische Herangehensweise scheint für frühtraumatisierte Kinder und Jugendliche eine Möglichkeit zu sein, die dissoziierten Anteile der traumatischen Szene abzurufen und somit einen Weg zur Integration zu finden. Die therapeutische Beziehung ermöglicht das Wiedererleben der Schmerzen, der Angst, aber auch die Beendigung der traumatischen Situation. Es konnte gezeigt werden, wie die triggerabhängigen Projektionen bei den Kindern endeten und Veränderungen der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung nachweisbar waren. Der Erfahrungsbericht stellt ein vorläufiges Ergebnis dar.
Psychosocial treatment of traumatic stress disorders with EMDR
Children’s development is now understood as a process. Balance and imbalance are said to alternate with one another, and impaired functioning is to be seen as an inducement for further development. Even the early organism has the opportunity of finding a new level of organisation. Right from the beginning, this process, which is susceptible to disruption to a greater or lesser extent, takes place with others in an intra- and interactive exchange of energy and material. This developmental process involves the entire body, every cell, including the brain as the organ of sensomotoric and psychophysical processing. The stress reaction and stress at a manageable level help the child to survive critical periods (Hüther, 1999). However, stress that is not manageable leads to far-reaching changes, in both functional and structural terms, unless the organism finds new solutions. There are sensitive stages during prenatal development that give the brain a high degree of adaptability; however, they also make the embryo, foetus and young infant receptive for disruptive or even hostile influences can lead to changes in the limbic system and the cortex (Hüther 1999; van den Kolk 1998; Roth, 1998). In the event of (early) uncontrolled stress, the amygdala becomes permanently activated, and via the amygdala, several systems are also activated, including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, by the secretion of stress hormones. This permanent activation triggers a physical emergency reaction in the sense of a shock reaction and at the same time leads to a disruption of the storage of information in the hippocampus. The imaginative approach to be a way for children and adolescents with early traumas to recall the dissociated parts of the traumatic scene and hence to find a way of integrating them. The therapeutic relationship allows the pain and fear to be reenacted, but also enables the traumatic situation to be brought to a close. It was able to be shown how the trigger-dependent projections stopped in the children, and changes in personality development were able to be observed. The report presents preliminary results.

A high proportion of patients in child and adolescent psychiatry with significant dissociative symptomatology after early childhood traumatization may go undiagnosed, be wrongly diagnosed and/or inappropriately treated. The diagnostics and treatment of dissociative disorders have been limited by lack of comprehensive, reliable and valid instruments and the ongoing polarization and fierce controversy regarding treatment. However, recent neurobiological findings of neurochemical, functional and structural cerebral consequences of early stressful childhood experiences point out a need for active, early and effective identification and treatment interventions. We present an update on assessment tools available in the Nordic countries, and an overview of different appropriate therapeutic intervention models for children and adolescents. A systematic overview of studies of dissociation in children and adolescent published over the last decade disclosed a total of 1019 references. The 465 papers describing aspects of assessment tools and/or treatment were studied in detail. Reliable and valid screening questionnaires and diagnostic interviews for children and adolescents now allow for effective early identification of dissociative disorders. A combination of individual psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and family therapy are often required to handle dissociative disorders in children and adolescents. Cognitive-behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization-Reprocessing (EMDR), psychodynamic therapy and an integrated approach are the main described psychotherapeutic approaches, but treatment of dissociation in children and adolescent does not require allegiance to any one particular treatment model. However, achievement of physical safety by providing a safe environment is a primary goal that supersedes any other therapeutic work. Assessments tools are now available, and appropriate therapeutic intervention models may hopefully contribute to reduce the risk of wrong diagnoses and inappropriate treatment of dissociative symptomatology in children and adolescents. However, controlled clinical trials of the various interventions and longitudinal outcome studies are needed.
Im Allgemeinen ist es vorgeschlagen, um Jugendlichen mit schweren posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung zu einer EMDR-Behandlung in der Psychotherapie eingebettet aussetzen. Wegen der Jugendlichen spezifische Konflikte wie Autonomie und Unabhängigkeit, Sprachlosigkeit und "erlassen Nachrichten" und der instabilen Lebens-Situation der Jugendlichen therapeutische Schritte statbilization und Entwicklung der Humanressourcen zu vorheriger Schwerpunkt sein. Trauma Exposition mit EMDR kann innerhalb bestimmter Grenzen, die sich aus aktuellen Konflikten und Aufgaben erfolgen benutzen, was muss zuerst gelöst werden. Ein Fallbericht zeigt die verschiedenen Probleme.
In general it is suggested to expose adolescents with severe posttraumatic stress disorder to an EMDR treatment embedded in psychotherapy. Because of adolescent-specific conflicts like autonomy and independency, speechlessness and "enacted messages" and the unstable life-situation of those adolescents therapeutic steps of statbilization and resource development have to be given prior emphasis. Trauma exposure with EMDR can be done within certain limits resulting from actual conflicts and tasks whih have to be resolved first. A case report demonstrates the different problems.
Trauma en posttraumatische stress klachten komen ook bij kinderen en jongeren (hierna kinderen) frequent voor. Trauma gerelateerde symptomen bij deze leeftijdsgroepen kunnen leiden tot verminderde schoolprestaties, problemen in het sociale functioneren en een verstoring van (hersen) ontwikkeling. In de afgelopen decennia zijn er talloze onderzoeken uitgevoerd naar de behandeling van trauma klachten bij kinderen. Trauma gerichte cognitieve gedragstherapie (TF-CBT) en EMDR zijn het meest onderzocht. In het merendeel van de kinderen dat wordt behandeld met één van de therapieën verminderen de traumaklachten aanzienlijk of verdwijnen de klachten in het geheel, echter bij een deel van de kinderen persisteren klachten ook na behandeling. Studies waarin TF-CBT en EMDR direct met elkaar worden vergeleken zijn zeer schaars. Dit terwijl de resultaten van dergelijke vergelijkende studies op de lange termijn een belangrijke bijdrage kunnen leveren aan het vooraf bepalen welke behandeling bij welk kind de meeste kans van slagen heeft.
In de afgelopen twee jaar zijn kinderen tussen de 8 en 18 jaar, die met een (partiële) posttraumatische stressstoornis werden gediagnosticeerd bij het trauma centrum van de Bascule, gevraagd om deel te nemen aan een vergelijkende behandelstudie (INTACT studie). Onderzoeksdeelnemers werden at random toegewezen aan ofwel 8 geprotocolleerde TF-CBT sessies ofwel 8 geprotocolleerde EMDR sessies. In totaal werden 48 kinderen gerandomiseerd. Uitgebreide traumadiagnostiek vond plaats voor behandeling, 1 week na behandeling, 6 maanden na behandeling en 1 jaar na behandeling.
In de huidige voordracht zullen de behandelresultaten worden gepresenteerd. De presentatie zal zich toespitsen op behandeleffecten op postraumatische stress symptomen gemeten door middel van de CAPS-CA. Er zal verder worden stilgestaan bij het potentiële belang van de onderzoeksresultaten voor de klinische praktijk en vooruitgekeken worden op toekomstig (neurobiologisch) vervolgonderzoek.
Trauma and posttraumatic stress symptoms also occur in children and adolescents (hereafter children) frequently. Trauma-related symptoms in these populations may lead to decreased school performance, problems in social functioning and disruption (brain) development. In recent decades there have been numerous studies on the treatment of trauma symptoms in children. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and EMDR are the most studied. In the majority of children being treated with any of the therapies significantly reduce trauma symptoms or the symptoms disappear altogether, however, some of the children symptoms persist even after treatment. Studies in which TF-CBT and EMDR directly be compared are very scarce. This while the results of such comparative studies on the long term a significant contribution to the pre-treatment to determine which child the best chance of success.
During the past two years, children between 8 and 18 years, with a (partial) post-traumatic stress disorder were diagnosed in the trauma center of the Bascule, asked to participate in a comparative treatment study (INTACT study). Research participants were randomly assigned to either 8 protocolled TF-CBT sessions or 8 protocolled EMDR sessions. A total of 48 children were randomized. Extensive trauma diagnosis occurred before treatment, 1 week after treatment, 6 months after treatment and 1 year after treatment.
In the current proposal, the treatment results are presented. The presentation will focus on treatment effects on post-traumatic stress symptoms measured by the CAPS-CA. There will also be given to the potential importance of the findings for clinical practice and are looking ahead to future (neurobiological) follow-up study.
Die Geschichtsbücher über die Kriege zeichnen ein furchtbares Bild des Grauens. Erlebte Realität ist nicht gedruckte Seiten, das wir lesen, sondern die Angst, Schmerz und Leiden, die uns für den Rest unseres Lebens begleiten werden.
Tragische Ereignisse wie der Krieg im ehemaligen Jugoslawien haben bei der betroffenen Bevölkerung tiefe seelische Wunden hinterlassen. All das hat das Zusammenleben der verschieden ethnokulturellen Gruppen stark erschüttert und ist meistens nicht mehr möglich.
Die Kriegs- und Traumaopfer leiden häufig noch Jahren unter den schlimmen Folgen der Extrembelastungen. Typische „posttraumatische“, psychische Folgen sind das ständige schmerzliche Wiedererleben der durchlittenen Situationen, Alpträume, erhöhte Schreckhaftigkeit, Reizbarkeit sowie Auswirkungen im sozialen Bereich. Diese Symptome werden seit 1980 unter dem Begriff Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTB) in den offiziellen Klassifikationsmanualen psychischer Störungen zusammengefasst (DSM-IV-R, 1994).
The history books about the wars paint a terrible picture of horror. Experienced reality is not printed pages, we read, but the fear, pain and suffering that will accompany us for the rest of our lives. Tragic events like the war in former Yugoslavia have left deep emotional scars, the affected population. All this shook the coexistence of different ethno-cultural groups is not strong and more usually possible. The war and trauma victims often suffer for years under the terrible consequences of extreme stress. Typical "post-traumatic", the constant psychological consequences are painful reliving of the artist went through situations, nightmares, increased nervousness, irritability and social impact. These symptoms are grouped together since 1980 under the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTB) in the official classification manual of mental disorders (DSM-IV-R, 1994).
Störungen des Sozialverhaltens (F 91, F92 ICD-10) umfassen komplexe, multifaktoriell bedingte Störungen, die sich in einem Bündel von Leitsymptomen niederschlagen. Bisherige Therapieansätze sind in ihren Effekten nicht sehr befriedigend. Allerdings berücksichtigten sie auch nicht in geplanter und systematischer Weise die Folgen kindlicher Traumatisierung, obwohl die Übereinstimmung der Symptomatik bei Störung des Sozialverhalten und Traumafolgestörungen frappierend ist (Greenwald 2002). Forschungsergebnisse belegen, dass zwischen 60 - 90 % aller Jugendliche mit Störungen des Sozialverhaltens in ihrer Lebensgeschichte schweren Traumatisierungen (Kombinationen Typ I und II) ausgesetzt waren (Steiner, Garcia, Matthews 1997, Cuffe et al. 1998).
MASTR (ein Akronym für Motivation - Adaptiv Skills - Trauma Resolution) ist ein von Dr. Ricky Greenwald (2002) entwickeltes traumabasiertes manualisiertes Behandlungsverfahren, das aus drei aufeinander aufbauenden Phasen besteht.
Disorders of social behavior (F 91, F92 ICD-10) involve complex, multifactorial, related disorders, which are reflected in a set of cardinal symptoms. Previous therapy approaches are in their effects, not very satisfactory. However, they are not even considered in a planned and systematic way the consequences of childhood trauma, although the consistency of symptoms associated with disruption of social behavior and trauma disorders is striking (Greenwald 2002). Research shows that were exposed to between 60 - 90% of adolescents with disorders of social behavior in their life history severe trauma (combinations of type I and II) (Steiner, Garcia, Matthews 1997, Cuffe et al. 1998).
MASTR (an acronym for Motivation - Adaptive Skills - Trauma Resolution) is a traumabasiertes developed by Dr. Ricky Greenwald (2002) manualisiertes treatment process, which consists of three successive phases.
This presentation explores the evidence linking trauma, stress and PTSD to some forms of depression in children
especially for those whose depressive symptoms appear to be the result of adverse life events. Preliminary
evidence that EMDR can be an effective treatment for depression in children and adolescents through a series of
case studies and anecdotal reports will be presented. Clinicians will learn specific strategies for working with
depressed children across the eight phases of the EMDR protocol. Video clips of sessions will provide a concrete
and tangible experience for clinicians working with this population.
This study examined the efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and exposure in the treatment of a specific phobia. 26 spider phobic children were treated during 2 treatment phases. During the first phase, which lasted 2.5 hr, children were randomly assigned to either (a) an EMDR group (n = 9), (b) an exposure in vivo group (n = 9), or (c) a computerized exposure (control) group (n = 8). During the 2nd phase, all groups received a 1.5 hr session of exposure in vivo. Therapy outcome measures (i.e., self-reported fear and behavioral avoidance) were obtained before treatment, after Treatment Phase 1, and after Treatment Phase 2. Results showed that the 2.5 hr exposure in vivo sesson produced significant improvement on all outcome measures. In contrast, EMDR yielded a significant improvement on only self-reported spider fear. Computerized exposure produced nonsignficant improvement. Furthermore, no evidence was found to suggest that EMDR potentiates the efficacy of a subsequent exposure in vivo treatment. Exposure in vivo remains the treatment of choice for childhood spider phobia. [Author Abstract]
Excerpt: Practice guidelines for the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents
with posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) were first developed by an expert
panel convened more than a decade ago by Cohen and the American Academy
of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Work Group on Quality Issues (1998). Since
the release of that seminal set of practice guidelines, substantial additional validation
has been provided in scientific studies of the most robustly evidence-based
treatment model, trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT; Cohen
et al., 2006, 2008). Other approaches to the treatment of children and adolescents
with PTSD have been sufficiently clinically or scientifically tested to be
included as actually or potentially evidence-based (Saxe et al., 2007b; Vickerman
and Margolin, 2007) in the recent second edition of the International Society
for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) Practice Guidelines, Effective Treatments
for PTSD (Foa et al., 2008). These include eye movement desensitization and
reprocessing (EMDR; Spates et al., 2008), school-based cognitive behavior therapies
(Jaycox et al., 2008), psychodynamic therapies (Lieberman et al., 2008),
creative arts therapies (Goodman et al., 2008) and psychopharmacotherapy (treatment
with therapeutic medications; Donnelly, 2008). Family systems therapies
were included in the ISTSS Practice Guidelines only for adults, but promising
approaches for family therapy with children with PTSD have been developed (Ford
and Saltzman, 2009).

• Conclusion
This study examines the effects of a psychodynamic approach of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in treatment of traumatized refugee children. Among a child psychiatric outpatient refugee team, 13 children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), were treated by EMDR incorporated in a traditional psychodynamic therapeutic approach. The Posttraumatic Stress Symptom Scale for Children (PTSS-C) and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) were administered before and after the treatment, to measure the effects. After treatment, a significant improvement was noticed in the functioning level and all PTSS-C scales, mostly in re-experiencing and least in the avoidance symptoms. The improvement in the functioning level was significantly correlated with the reduction of the PTSD-non-related and the depression, but not with that of the PTSD-related symptoms. Used in a psychodynamic context, EMDR is suggested to be effective treatment for traumatized refugee children. Our findings support the hypothesis of child-specific criteria for PTSD.
This chapter focuses on the effective treatments for PTSD which are used with young people, particularly young refugees. Comprehensive accounts of treatments and treatment efficacy for PTSD in young people have been provided elsewhere. The aims of this chapter are therefore twofold: first to describe the more established treatments for young people with PTSD, and second to look at all innovative treatment approaches that have been developed for young refugees. The chapter has an evidence-based perspective, and so provides data regarding the efficacy of the treatments described.In order to achieve these aims, it was felt necessary to describe the background to evidence-based practice. This will be followed by a summary of children's and adolescents' reactions to traumatic events, and salient developmental factors. The description of treatments begins then with the therapies for which there is currently most evidence, e.g. cognitive behavioural and related treatments, including group CBT and exposure therapy. Two other individual treatments -- EMDR and psychopharmacology -- will also be described in this chapter. There is then consideration of some innovative therapies that have been used for young refugees with PTSD, such as testimony therapy and narrative exposure therapy. Non-directive therapies such as art therapy are highlighted and discussed alongside the role of the family and its potential for involvement in treatment and any proposed management plan. Finally, attention is given to some contextual factors that will influence choice of treatments. [Text, p. 40][Pilots]
Objective: This study surveyed practices in treating childhood PTSD among child psychiatrists and non-M.D. therapists with self-identified interest in treating traumatized children. Method: An anonymous survey was mailed to 207 child psychiatrists ("medical") [members of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry] and 460 nonphysician ("non-medical") therapists [members of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies] inquiring about current interventions used to treat children with PTSD. Results: 247 responses were received: of 77 medical and 82 nonmedical respondents who currently treat children with PTSD, a wide variety of modalities are used. Most preferred modalities among medical responders were pharmacotherapy, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Most preferred modalities among nonmedical respondents were cognitive-behavioral, family, and nondirective play therapy. 95% of medical respondents used pharmacotherapy for this disorder; most preferred medications to treat childhood PTSD were selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and alpha-adrenergic agonists. Several significant differences between medical and nonmedical practices were identified. Conclusions: There is little clinical consensus regarding the effectiveness of the many modalities used to treat traumatized children who have PTSD symptoms; empirical research is particularly needed to evaluate the efficacy of pharmacotherapy and EMDR.

The aim of the paper would be to present a series of case studies relating to use of the
CIPOS procedure (Eckers, 2009) with children and young people. Practice issues and areas for future
development will be considered, together with feedback from the children and parents involved in
the case studies.
During the last three years, I have included the EMDR induced safe place installation and exercise (Shapiro, 1995) in group therapy work with four groups of refugee adolescents.
Working within a child and adolescent mental health service, a large proportion of the work is with adolescents, many of whom come to us as a result of self-harming behaviours. Often it later emerges that there is a history of trauma or abuse.
Engaging with such young people can often be a challenge, often requiring sensitivity and creativity. After 15 years of experience working with this group I still enjoy the challenge presented. Using case material, I will explore some of the key issues I have encountered, along with some of the pitfalls and successes experienced.
I often use EMDR with a client-centered model, at times incorporating Play Therapy and art. I am at times surprised by young people's own inventiveness in using EMDR.
This presentation describes an EMDR protocol for working with an adolescent in such a way as to enhance their self-empowerment
capabilities. As a preliminary, a medical and developmental history of the adolescent is taken from the parents, as well as obtaining
their view of present problems. Using this infomation and a subsequent history obtained from the adolescent provides the basis for
what may prove to be targets later.
I will talk about how, in early discussions with adolescents, when my aim is to gain rapport, I often go back over some of the
information their parents provided so as to obtain the teenager's views and feelings, idenfying the highs and lows in their view of
their life so far. I look for where they have felt successful and powerful, and where they have suffered trauma, loss and sadness with
reference to themselves as individuals and also in their family relationships. I seek to refine targets from both parental and
adolescent information. I also seek to understand what the teen would like in their life and begin to introduce the idea that they can
give direction to their life.
I believe it is important to provide the adolescent with new or clarified information about him or her. I use psychological tests to
assist in this process. I will cover briefly ways that I use the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC), as well as other
assessment instruments such as the Strong Interest Inventory, Rorschach and Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (MAPI), to
give both the adolescent and me important information. Because the information stems from a comparison with the general
population, I can present it more objectively than if it were solely my assessment of them. The adolescent decides what fits them
and what doesn't. This process allows us jointly to identify problems and to look for ways to handle them. Emphasis is always
placed on the adolescent having the power - the information about themselves is power. What they choose to do with it breeds
power. They are in control. This process usually leads to a further explanation of EMDR and how they might choose to work with
me using EMDR.
In summary, I will cover :
Helping the adolescent look at choices as giving freedom Presenting EMDR as a way of having more choices; Looking at behavior problems as habits that can be changed if desired. Encouraging the use of imagination, imaging, finding a
safe place and helping make changes; Taking the position of being their coach for their effort to develop the kind of life they want.
Looking at what they think stands in their way and what they can do to change it.
Identifying negative cognition from these blocks.
Using EMDR in the context of what they want.
Building Self Esteem through goal attainment-EMDR as a tool for performance.
Coaching for positive change and clear thinking.
Teaching self direction and organization reinforcing with EMDR.
Teaching self coaching.
This 38-page booklet is written for therapists already trained in EMDR, and features an overview and beginning technical repertoire for adapting EMDR for use with children and adolescents. Although for many years this was the only documented standard of care in EMDR for children and adolescents, now there is much more comprehensive information available (for example, EMDR in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy).
Many children and adolescents who present for serious behavior problems have been adopted both from here and from other counties. Parents and teachers are not prepared to deal with the attachment disorders that are part of the child. This workshop will present the symptoms of attachment disorders, as well as highlight those that are different for the Reactive Attachment Disorder. Use of EMDR protocols will be reviewed as they apply to working with young children who have experienced serious trauma and neglect at any early age and have not way to share these experieces except through their behaviors. Part of this presentation will address areas to assess with the parent regarding their own attachment issues that often get in the way of successful treatment. Finally, case review of several children will be presented that gives practical,hands on protocols that can be used to treat these children using EMDR.
Accurate neuropsychological/psychological assessment and monitoring are
crucial to complex cases of refugee and asylum seeking children and adolescents. These are
examined in the context of relevant case vignettes. The limitations and relevance of
accurate and therapeutic assessment and monitoring are examined and the utility of
psychological instruments. Language and timing of interventions are also considered. The
use of a multimodal approach sensitive to individual and intellectual differences and
relevance of EMDR is discussed.
In our specialised treatment centre for adolescents with severe anorexia nervosa, we found
that EMDR can be a very useful and powerful tool in the context of a multifaceted treatment
program for anorectic adolescents. We noticed that setback and delay can occur during the
process of regaining weight as a consequence of relived memories of traumatic experiences.
Emotions linked to these memories are felt more intensely when they are recovering. These
memories can become significant blocks to moving forward to achieving our goal of
normalisation of weight and eating habits. We are in the process of listing the specific issues
that need to be addressed in the applications of EMDR to this target group. Experiences,
solutions and hypotheses will be presented.
The use of EMDR with younger age children presents extra challenges for
the practitioner who often needs to include the child’s parents/carers as a resource in the
treatment process. Parents /carers can become the child’s spokesperson through creating a
narrative of the child’s story. Based on the work of Joan Lovell, the EMDR protocol is
assimilated and adapted to suit the diversity of each child’s unique experience through the
process of story writing where the traumatic events are digested and processed with the
help of the protective parental figure(s). The presentation will illustrate through the use of
clinical material (video; drawings; collage; etc) how the practitioner can develop a multitude
of creative means to access the pre-verbal or the severely traumatized young child; for
whom we need to step “outside the box” and transform the EMDR protocol to suit each
child’s needs.
