Abstract:
Angesichts der steigenden Zahl implantierter Defibrillatoren in allen Industrienationen wächst auch die Zahl derjenigen Menschen, die sog. Mehrfachschocks („electrical storm“, ES) erleiden. Häufige Beschwerden sind starke und ständig wiederkehrende massive Ängste, Panikattacken, Todesangst, Hilf- und Hoffnungslosigkeit, Depressionen, Nervosität und Gereiztheit, sowie Rückzugs- und ausuferndes Vermeidungsverhalten, Intrusionen, Albträume, Flashbacks, Schlaflosigkeit und die Unfähigkeit der Gefühlsempfindung sowie eine eingeschränkte Zukunftsperspektive. Da Menschen mit einem ICD häufig körperlich (sehr) krank und nach den ICD-Mehrfachschocks zusätzlich massiv verunsichert sind, scheint es wesentlich, dass die stationäre Behandlung in einer Einrichtung durchgeführt wird, die über eine enge Anbindung an und räumliche Nähe zu einer kardiologischen Abteilung verfügt. Basis der Diagnostik ist die klinische Anamnese und die systematische Exploration der traumatischen Situation und der resultierenden Beschwerden. Als zusätzliche diagnostische Elemente sollten testpsychologische Verfahren zur Erfassung der Kernsymptomatik zum Einsatz kommen (Angst, Depression, Traumasymptome). Zur Diagnostik sollte eine testpsychologische Untersuchung gehören, damit am Ende der Behandlung auch für den Patienten sichtbar wird, welche Veränderungen eingetreten sind. Im Mittelpunkt der stationären Behandlung steht die tägliche intensive Psychotherapie. In ihrem Rahmen finden Elemente tiefenpsychologisch fundierter Psychotherapie und verhaltenstherapeutisch orientierte Angsttherapie sowie kognitive Umstrukturierung und Elemente des EMDR ihren Platz. Eine Nachuntersuchung innerhalb von 4 Monaten nach den Mehrfachschocks ist angeraten, weil PTSD Symptome zuweilen erst mit großer Latenz auftreten.
In view of the inceasing number of implanted defibrillators in all industrial nations, the number of people who have suffered so-called multiple shocks (electrical storm, ES) also increases. Common complaints are severe and continuously recurrent massive anxiety, panic attacks, fear of death, helplessness and hopelessness, depression, nervosity and irritability as well as reclusive and uncontrollable avoidance behaviour, intrusions, nightmares, flashbacks, sleeplessness and the inability to show feelings and limitation of future perspectives. Because people with an ICD are often physically (very) ill and after multiple ICD shocks are additionally very insecure, it would seem logical if the inpatient treatment would be carried out in an institution which has close connections and is also spatially close to a cardiology department. The basis of the diagnostics is the clinical anamnesis and a systematic exploration of the trauma situation and the resulting complaints. As an additional diagnostic element psychological test procedures should be implemented to determine the core symptomatic (anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms). Psychological test procedures should be included in the diagnostics so that at the end of treatment it is obvious even to the patient which alterations have occurred. The core element of inpatient treatment is daily intensive psychotherapy and includes deep psychologically well-founded psychotherapy and behavioral therapeutic-oriented anxiety therapy as well as cognitive restructuring and elements of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). A follow-up examination within 4 months of the multiple shocks episode is recommended because symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder often occur after a long latent time period.

2. Oppermann, F. (2011, June). Experiences with EMDR in a general practitioner practice. Presentation at the 12th European Conference on Traumataic Stress (ECOTS), Vienna, Austria.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The study excellently describes results treating patients with PTSD after recent traumatic experiences. 200 patients with various stress reactions after recent traumatic stress like sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, somatic symptoms, conflicts in partnership and inability to work but no prior psychiatric disease in anamnesis were treated with EMDR. The number of active EMDR sessions needed to restore quality of life and capability of working varied from one to five active sessions. A three and six-month follow-up showed stable findings.
The study shows, that there is a great number of PTSD patients in general practice. Besides typical flashbacks, these patients show an enormous bandwidth of somatic and psychosomatic symptoms. General practitioners have an important position in making the correct diagnosis and EMDR is shown to be an effective, time saving and economic technique treating PTSD after recent trauma.

3. Imbroinise, F. (2008, June). The function of the EMDR approach as an anamnestic and therapeutic tool in paediatrics - psychosocial unit. Poster session presented at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, London, England.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
652 children were treated during 2007 in our Paediatrics - psychosocial unit. The EMDR approach was a means to
do the history taking and anamnesis and it was used as well as an intervention methodology for all pathologies
and disturbances. Our clients received EMDR as inpatients in our war or as outpatients referred by the
community paediatric services. Our therapeutical programme includes a detailed anamnesis done together with
both parents or with caregivers if the child is very small or with the child himself if he’s able to provide the
information. History taking with the EMDR approach is an unique opportunity for the family to focus on family
life and its dynamics, and to analyse their unbalanced relational and affective patterns, which they are not always
aware of. Subsequently a therapeutical programme is outlined where EMDR is presented as a treatment method
to face and resolve the presenting complaints. This therapeutical approach facilitates the symptomatology
resolution and is useful to develop a more aware vision of their own family dynamics. Another beneficial effect is
to promote a greater psychophysical wellbeing for the client, providing a new meaning to the somatic disorder
and helping the family to understand and manage their child’s problems in a more functional way. This poster
describes all phases of the intervention and the disorders treated in our unit with EMDR. [There are three PDF files.]

4. Zimmermann, E. (2010, June). The potential of EMDR in gynaecology and obstetrics: Special application with infertile women. In Female issues. Symposium conducted at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Hamburg, Germany.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The author of this presentation works as psychologist
and psychotherapist in a clinic in Fribourg/Switzerland in the
department of gynecology and obstetrics. Various applications
of EMDR are used, both in gynecologic and obstetrical outcomes.
A special patient population, namely infertile women
in search of becoming pregnant, are an important part of the
work. The purpose of this presentation is to show the special
approach that E. Zimmermann has developed by working with
infertile women. Infertile women - in opposition to sterile women
- are women with no apparent medical reason why they do
not become pregnant.
These infertile women often pass a particularly long and difficult
phase to get pregnant. They are always disappointed by
the repeated negative outcome of all their efforts to become
pregnant. This is a very difficult phase in the life of the couple
too, and not few couples separate during this phase. Especially
women feel unable being a mother and their self-esteem is very
low. This is why the author has developed a special application
of EMDR to this population. The aim is to cope with the difficulties
related to these different stages. Another purpose is
preparing a desired and possible pregnancy.
Women mostly have very different anamnesis, some also including
trauma. They have in particular a personal pregnancy
or non-pregnancy history, e.g. also abortion. In addition the
medical assistance utilized for getting pregnant is quite different
for every case. Lots of them end up by using fertilization techniques,
which have a low chance of success. This makes it rather difficult for EMDR to treat these women i
a standardized way. The author of this workshop has developed
a flow-chart providing an concept of applying EMDR at different
stages with different types of targets in order to compare
the outcomes.
By working with EMDR and infertile women, it appears that
they become pregnant quicker than what the statistics predict.
There are also women who become pregnant after working with EMDR before they start the fertility-program. This is why
the author prepares a research study to try to figure out if the
EMDR-process can have a positive impact on fertility.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Psychological, somatic and medical problems often have their origins in more obscure beginnings. This method helps reveal a deeper and more comprehensive history taking process to enable the clinician to help the client more quickly gain access to preverbal underlying factors, which may block healing. Along with a clearer picture of the condition, integrating a variety of healing mechanisms with EMDR provides an individualized approach to activate the client’s own potential to heal.

6. Hummel, H., & Matthess, H. (2005, June). What to teach beside EMDR in trauma-centered psychotherapy. In Teaching EMDR. Symposium conducted at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Brussels, Belgium.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The objective of this workshop is to encourage the participants to develop
and carry out a comprehensive course for diagnostics and treatment of
trauma-related disorders.
The trauma-curricula in Schaffhausen and Sinzig were created
independently as training courses for psycho-traumatology. They are taken
as examples to clarify basic ideas on how to organize curricular-structured
seminars in the field of psycho-traumatology and trauma-therapy. The
EMDR-trainings are very well established as basic for trauma confrontation
therapy but "around EMDR" there is much more to teach that can only be
learnt over a longer period of time.
The curricular structure as a means to teach the knowledge and skills
improves the motivation of colleagues to attend the seminars. Consensus,
cooperation, and mutual recognition between other institutes and international organizations in the field of psycho-traumatology committed to
a general draft makes the acceptance even stronger.
There is consensus about the knowledge of anamnesis, diagnostics,
treatment planning, stabilization techniques, and the working through of
traumatic material. In both curricula more than one method for trauma confrontation
is taught. The more tools and skills the therapist is able to use
the easier it is to find the appropriate method for each client. So therapists
can avoid what is meant by the proverb: "if you only have a hammer you
will treat everything like a nail" (Maslow).
The first evaluation of the participants in both curricula in Schaffhausen and
Sinzig will be presented including questions about relevance. satisfaction
with structure and content as well as suggestions for improvement.
