Abstract:
Child
offenders
have
been
abused
3
to
6
time
more
than
controls
during
childhood
and
these
figures
are
probably
grossly
underestimated.
Most
of
them
exhibit
all
or
many
symptoms
of
Post
Traumatic
Stress
Disorders
(PTSD)
in
association
with
anxiety-‐depression-‐addiction.
TCC
treatments
are
useful
but
with
limited
efficacy
(Brooks-‐
Gordon
B
et
al,
Journal
of
forensic
Psychiatry
and
Pathology,
2006;
17:442-‐466).
The
treatment
by
the
EMDR
approach
of
the
traumatic
memories
should
be
beneficial
to
these
patients.
Previous

of
forensic
Psychiatry
and
Pathology,
2006;
17:538-‐562)
has
provided
preliminary
results
in
child
molesters.
Clinical
Case:
A
40
years
old
male
convicted
and
jailed
for
sexual
abuse
(pedophilia)
at
33
years
of
age.
He
lives
with
a
wife
and
a
son
(9
year
old)
and
has
a
regular
job.
His
medications
are:
antipsychotic,
antidepressor,
antiepileptic,
anxiolytic
and
anti
androgens.
He
sees
regularly
a
psychologist
but
is
submitted
to
anxious
attacks
and
pedophilic
desires.
He
usually
needs
to
be
hospitalized
several
weeks
twice
a
year.
Following
assessment
and
psychological
evaluation
(DSM
IV,
PCLS,
SOS,
BECK
21,
DES)
and
case
conceptualisation,
the
traumatic
events
were
desensitized
and
reprocessed
through
EMDR
treatment:
rape
and
sexual
abuse
by
an
older
brother
from
5
to
12,
familial
humiliations,
rape
under
threat,
at
11
year
of
age
by
an
adult,
accusation
by
a
13
years
old
partner
at
33
years
of
age,
prison,
trial,
etc.
The
themes
of
the
first
8
EMDR
sessions
(first
3
months)
were:
helplessness/control,
danger/
security,
and
will
be
exposed
in
details.
The
changes
in
the
patient
appreciation
of
himself
and
his
symptoms
were
followed
during
this
period.
A
sharp
decline
in
the
anxiety
scores
(Beck
21)
and
a
rapid
increase
in
the
SOS
(Schwartz
outcome
scale:
quality
of
life)
were
observed.
At
the
same
time
the
pedophilic
desires
were
disappearing.
This
allowed
the
psychiatrist
to
reduce
the
antiandrogenic
treatments
as
well
as
antipsychotic,
antiepileptic
and
antidepressor.
Nine
month
after
the
beginning
of
therapy
the
patient
was
without
antiandrogens.
The
SOS
scores
remained
high
but
episodes
of
anxiety
and
depression
were
still
present
(9
to
12
months
after
beginning
of
EMDR
treatment).
In
conclusion,
desensitization
of
traumatic
memories
lied
to
a
dramatic
improvement
of
anxiety
and
changes
in
sexual
desire
in
a
man
convicted
for
pedophilia.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
I will attempt to present an overview of the major psychiatric disorders, some medical and neurologic syndromes and general concepts on how I approach diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Our time will include all this and put special focus on psychpharmacology. The nature and scope of this material will be mostly introductory but i will certainly be open to exploring my topic at greater depth depending the needs of the group present. The audience should be any among you who would likea way to begin organizing you approach to pharmacology and the impact that is having on your practice and the use of EMDR. Licensed clinical social workers, marriage and family counselors and psychologists should especially benefit form the discussion. You can expect to hear about major depression and its variants, bipolar disorder, panic disorder and the general anxiety disorders- some coverage of eating disorders, PTSD and adult attention deficit disorder but in less detail. I shall only touch upon schzophrenia and the psychotic disorders unless you show a special interest. The same is true for medical and neurologic diagnosis which have psychotic sequelas. I shall then to proceed to describe the differences and similarities among the antidepressants following that with a less detailed presentation of anit-anxiety agents, anti-psychotics, lithium and its siblings and a few of the "tried-and-true" substances of abuse like alcohol, stimulants, hallucinogens and narcotics. Please forgive me if I draw the line at designer drugs. This is a vast amount of information. I shall empasize general organizing concepts which will help the clinician who would like to understand some of his/her clients better, know better when to make a referral to a psychiatrist, now some of the potentials and limitations of EMDR when your clients are taking medications and/or have a major psychiatric disorder. Do not come to if you wish to set sail on a sea of psychiatric and medical details - 90 minutes just will not suffice! I will depend on you to speak up at any time with your concerns and queries (not to mention contradictions) so we can tailor the moment to the real interests of those present. I will attempt to reserve a substantial amount of time for question, answers, and observations but, if we are lucky, this will be happening throughout the ninety minutes. If we have time left I will explore the subject of "you and your psychiatrist" with both panache and hubris. We have a reputation for not being the most ingratiating of colleagues. I have a number of suggestions from a psychiatrist perspective which could make it easier to manage (sic) your psychiatrist. I hope we will be able to conclude with some high spirits and as they say here in California, a time for sharing and mutual understanding.

Aus der Abteilung PsychosomatischeMedizin und Psychotherapie der Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover.

Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
Klinische Erfahrung und Ergebnisse der experimentellen Suchtforschung weisen auf die
Existenz eines Suchtgedächtnisses hin (Heyne, May et al. 2000; Böning 2001; Spanagel
2001). Nach wie vor ist dies Konzept jedoch umstritten (Böning 2000; Tretter 2000; Wolffgramm
and Heyne 2000). Dabei könnte eine mögliche therapeutische Beeinflussung eines
Suchtgedächtnisses von erheblicher Bedeutung sein. Die etablierten Therapieangebote der
Suchtmedizin versuchen eine angenommene und je nach theoretischem Hintergrund unterschiedliche
Grundstörung zu behandeln, zielen auf ein verbessertes Coping, beeinflussen
aber kaum die zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen der Abhängigkeit sui generis. Eine
tiefgreifende Veränderung der Abhängigkeit ist somit nicht zu erwarten. Vielmehr liegt die
Abhängigkeit beständig „auf der Lauer“ (Böning 2001b). Eine Aktivierung des Suchtgedächtnisses
wird mit dem Phänomen des Suchtdrucks, des Cravings in Verbindung gebracht
und ist hier im Kern der Abhängigkeit, dem Verlust an Kontrolle über das eigene
Verhalten, zu sehen. Die therapeutische Beeinflussung des Cravings wird aufgrund der
großen Bedeutung für eine Abstinenz zum Beispiel bei Alkoholabhängigen intensiv erforscht.
Bisher wurden vordringlich medikamentöse Strategien untersucht. Obwohl hier einige
Fortschritte erreicht wurden (Böning 1999; Croissant 2004; Croissant, Scherle et al.
2004 (b)), können die vorliegenden Ergebnisse noch nicht zufrieden stellen (Wiesbeck,
Weijers et al. 1999; Wiesbeck,Weijers et al. 2000; Böning 2001; Schmidt, Kuhn et al. 2002;
Körkel and Schindler 2003). Zudem ist in Anbetracht des Leib-Seele-Dualismus ein psychotherapeutischer
Ansatz zur Ergänzung der medikamentösen Anti-Craving-Behandlung
wünschenswert. Dabei ist in Anbetracht des intensiven Leidens abhängiger Menschen und
der sozioökonomischen Belastung durch Abhängigkeitserkrankungen eine Effektivierung
der Therapie von großerWichtigkeit.
Clinical experience and results of the experimental addiction research point to the existence of a Suchtgedächtnisses (Heyne, May et al. 2000; Böning 2001; Spanagel 2001). As before, this concept remains controversial (Boening 2000; Tretter, 2000; Wolff grams and Heyne 2000). This could be a possible therapeutic influence Suchtgedächtnisses one of considerable importance. The established treatment of Addiction Medicine offers an accepted and try to treat depending on the theoretical background of different basic fault, are aimed at improved coping influence, but hardly the underlying mechanisms of dependence sui generis. A profound change in the dependence is unlikely to happen. Rather, the dependence is constantly on the lookout "(Böning 2001b). Activation of the Suchtgedächtnisses is the phenomenon of craving, the Cravings brought together and is at the core of addiction, the loss seen in control over one's behavior. The therapeutic influence of craving is studied intensively because of the great importance for abstinence, for example, in alcoholics. So far, urgent medical strategies have been investigated. Although some progress has been achieved here (Boening 1999; Croissant 2004; Croissant, Scherle et al. 2004 (b)), these results may not satisfy (Wiesbeck, Weijers et al. 1999; Wiesbeck, Weijers et al. 2000; Böning 2001; Schmidt, Kuhn et al. 2002; Koerkel and Schindler 2003). Moreover, in view of the mind-body dualism, a psychotherapeutic approach to supplement the anti-craving drug treatment desirable. This is in view of the intense suffering of dependent people and the socio-economic burden of disease, more effective, depending on the treatment of großerWichtigkeit.

Abstract: Play: There's more than one way to write an anti-war play, and in "Geometry of Fire," Stephen Belber picks the hard way. There are no heroics in this edgy drama about a Marine who comes home from Iraq with a bad case of post-combat stress. There's no glory, either, in the sad story of how he alienates friends and menaces strangers. What the play has, instead, is substance and purpose -- and plenty of guts. Tough subject matter is presented with few compromises in Lucie Tiberghien's smartly cast and unaffected production for Rattlestick, which should add to its appeal to serious, discerning auds.
One of the play's themes is the use of EMDR in working with Iraq veterans experiencing trauma.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder which can develop following exposure to one or more severely traumatic events. Symptoms experienced by PTSD suffers include re-experiencing the trauma through intrusive ‘flashbacks’ and recurrent dreams or nightmares, distress when exposed to reminders of the trauma, hyperarousal and emotional blunting. These symptoms can cause significant impairment of function and reduction in quality of life for suffers. Both psychotherapies, including cognitive behavioural therapies (CBTs) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and pharmacotherapy are used in the treatment of PTSD.
Method
We audited patients with PTSD in Bedford East performed in November 2008. A re-audit was performed using data from August 2010 patient database. Demographic information, risk factors, co-morbidities, psychological therapy and pharmacotherapy were compared between these audit and re-audit.
Results
There is increased use of antidepressant augmentation between 2008 and 2010. While no patients in 2008 were on antidepressant augmentations, by 2010, 9 patients were. All 25 patients on anti-psychotics have important identified risk factors. There is no evidence of Psychosis in our PTSD patients except in two cases. There is an increase in Anti-psychotic use in our PTSD Patients. There is an increased use of Mood Stabilisers in our patients with PTSD.
Discussion
PTSD is being identified more frequently in our patients, probably because of greater awareness and more accurate identification.
Conclusion
New patients being identified represent a group of more difficult to treat patients who represent severe risks. Present psychotherapies offered are not all recommended in present guidelines.

Abstract:
Although I had a relatively happy childhood, I picked up many unspoken messages from the people around me about my physical body and my self-worth. At age 17, I was brutally beaten and raped in my family home. Based upon these often misinterpreted messages and the brutal attack on my body and soul, I created an existence out of eating disorders, depression, rage, and distrust. Now it was time to deal with the emotions I had pushed down inside of myself. It has taken months of EMDR therapy and a low dosage of anti-depressant drugs, but now I'm well on my way. Happiness is right around the corner.This book describes my journey from the depths of despair, through the twisted pathways of my past, and into my future, proving that life can and should be more than mere survival. Life is to be treasured and lived -- and shared. The reader will walk through my struggles and successes, hopefully allowing her (or him) to feel the pain of the struggles as well as the thrill of successes. I hope my story gives at least one other victim (or as I now prefer to call myself "survivor") hope for her own future, or assistance in healing her own heart. I hope it gives one family member or good friend a better understanding of what his or her loved one might be going through. I hope it shows one parent how a critical comment said in jest can be taken by a child as gospel. I hope it shows one mother that how she treats herself, whether with words or by actions, will be mirrored in her daughter. I hope it shows one father that the remarks he makes about women in front of his daughter will shape her views of herself as she becomes a woman. But mostly, I want this book to help one person go through the healing process a little easier. That is my hope. [Adapted from Text, pp. viii-ix] [Pilots]

Abstract:
Sometimes an anti-depressant helps alleviate some of the anxiety symptoms. Referral to a psychologist is often needed for cognitive behavioural and relaxation therapies. There is also a new technique called EMDR that is practised by some psychologists and psychiatrists which helps symptoms within two or three sessions. It involves thinking about the trauma while the therapist moves his finger back and forward twice a second, asking you to follow it with your eyes.

This response to McNally challenges the notion that scientific controversy should be waged with smear tactics. McNally's anti-EMDR conclusions are contested as premature and based on red herrings, selective neglect of the literature, and erroneous application of scientific principles. The importance of treatment fidelity is highlighted as a way of distinguishing between EMDR studies of widely varying quality (ScienceDirect).

Abstract:
General practitioners have an important role to play in helping patients after exposure to severe psychological trauma. In the immediate aftermath of trauma, GPs should offer "psychological first aid", which includes monitoring of the patient's mental state, providing general emotional support and information, and encouraging the active use of social support networks, and self-care strategies. Drug treatments should be avoided as a preventive intervention after traumatic exposure; they may be used cautiously in cases of extreme distress that persists. Adults with acute stress disorder (ASD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) should be provided with trauma-focused cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) in addition to in-vivo exposure (confronting avoided situations, people or places in a graded and systematic manner) may also be provided for PTSD. Drug treatments should not normally replace trauma-focused psychological therapy as a first-line treatment for adults with PTSD. If medication is considered for treating PTSD in adults, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants are the first choice. Other new generation antidepressants and older tricyclic antidepressants should be considered as second-line pharmacological options. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors may be considered by mental health specialists for use in people with treatment-resistant symptoms.

Abstract:
Grade 8 Up–Anna is driving a very drunk friend home from a party. Moments into the journey, a head-on collision leaves Ellen with a punctured lung and other serious injuries, Anna with a lacerated eye, and the other driver dead. The dead teen happens to be her brother's girlfriend. Anna clearly remembers Cameron's final screams, and she suffers nightmares. Her father is an emotionally repressed tyrant who at first won't allow his daughter to receive counseling. Frank develops and sustains credible characters whose problems are realistic and interconnected. Brief flashbacks allow readers to become acquainted with Jack as he was before Cameron's death and even as he was when he and Anna were children. Their father's brittle personality is not evil or even cruel, but clearly riddled with flaws bred of deeply held fears. In spite of some plot twists that seem convenient rather than realistic, such as the teens' pre-Thanksgiving trip to Florida with Ellen's parents, this story is compulsively readable both because Anna is likable and imperfect and because Frank's writing is so fluid. Rather than being a didactic anti-drinking or pro-counseling story, this is a psychological drama that is definitely worth teens' time.–Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA
