1. Darker-Smith, S. (2007, June). Body memory - A single case study of recovered memories through treatment of EMDR. Poster presented at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Paris, France.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
This case is presented with the client’s full knowledge and consent. Personal details have been changed to protect the client’s identity.
This case involved an adult male client with an over-riding sense of low self esteem and self-sabotaging behaviours, including binge eating disorder, gambling and drinking.
The client had no clear target memories relating to any of his behaviours or beliefs about himself – but reported a deep-seated sense of self-disgust – with no clear idea of where this feeling originated from or the thought behind it.
With nothing else to work with, we focused on the target body sensation of self-disgust, orientating in the heart area. Upon this point, the client reported having a circumcision operation as a child of around 7 or 8 years of age. Although this did not initially appear relevant, the client was asked to stay with the body sensation in the groin area, upon which the client reported “seeing” the surgeon’s face with a look of disgust on it. The surgeon removed the client’s foreskin and threw it in a plastic basin, looking at the client with a look of utter disgust, which the client interpreted and internalised as “You disgust me.”
Following on this unusual revelation, with the client’s involvement, collaborative evidence was sought on the memory. The surgical procedure was confirmed to be true by the client’s mother, although it was also confirmed by medical staff and the client’s mother that the client has remained under anaesthetic throughout the entire procedure. This may explain the lack of initial memory and why the memory was only accessible through body sensation.
Upon further inquiry, the client stated: “I didn’t see the surgeon with my eyes – I saw his disgust in my heart.”
The client’s mother further confirmed that the surgeon had indeed been disgusted and possibly expressed his disgust – however, not at the client, but rather at the previous inferior surgical attempt at a circumcision which had been botched during the client’s infancy, hence the client’s need for the second operation. The client somehow had “felt” the surgeon’s disgust – but being of such a young age, interpreted it as being disgust at his boy, rather than the previous operation.
What is interesting to note is that the client made a full recovery with a normal attribution of self-esteem and a complete absence of self-sabotaging behaviours with two treatment sessions, following his initial body memory. At 6-month follow up there continues to be no return of any previous self-sabotaging behaviours (e.g., drinking, gambling, binge eating) and the client expresses a healthy self-esteem.

Language: English

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) was used with 11 children who developed posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after road traffi c accidents. All improved such that none met criteria for PTSD on standardized assessments after an average of only 2.4 sessions. Signifi cant improvements in PTSD, anxiety, and depression were found both immediately after treatment and at follow-up. Attentional, memory, and attributional processes associated with PTSD were assessed and their relationship to therapeutic change examined. Treatment was associated with a signifi cant trauma-specifi c reduction in attentional bias on the modifi ed Stroop task, with results apparent both immediately after therapy and at follow-up.

3. Laizeau, M., Nousse, A., & Chakroun, N. (2008, June). EMDR optimism protocol: A pilot study on athletes. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, London, England.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Peterson and Seligman (1984) developed a theory based on the psychological characteristic of optimism. They discovered that a more pessimistic explanatory style is correlated with a deeper depression. The most optimistic explanatory style for a bad event is external, specific and temporary. For a good event the explanatory style is reverse. The pessimistic explanatory style evaluates the causes of bad and good events in the opposite way. Seligman and al (1990) administrated the Attribution Style Questionnaire (ASQ) to swimmers. After negative feedback, optimistic swimmers swim significantly faster compared to pessimistic swimmers. Goldwurm and al. 23 (2006) showed the efficacy of an optimism training proposed by Seligman. Andrew Leeds worked in 1997 on a new protocol known as Resource Development and Installation (RDI). This protocol has been reported to be useful in ego strengthening and stabilization. RDI protocol comes from EMDR that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma even on athletes (Graham, 2004). An expansion of the basic EMDR protocol, called “EMDR Peak Performance protocol” has been developed by Lendl & Foster (1997) for enhancing performance in the workplace, to aid in the reduction of performance anxiety experienced by creative and performing artists, and for competition preparation and psychological recovery from injury in athletes. This orientation leads us to go on with a nonpathologizing view developing optimistic client’s potential with the elaboration of this new protocol that we call: the EMDR optimism protocol (Laizeau and Nousse 2008). It has been developed on the basis of a study lead on rugbymen and swimmers. The aim of our study was to show that this EMDR optimism protocol can easily improve athletic performance.

Abstract:
The clinical phenomena of the conduct of EMDR and Thought Field Therapy were interpreted in light of concepts in the field of classical conditioning with emphasis on the orienting reflex and its external inhibiting effects on conditioned responses. A model was proposed using the temporary suppression through external inhibition of the fear and avoidance conditioned responses to disturbing memories. The clinically helpful effect proposed is the emergence of previously suppressed competing responses to the troublesome memories. Those newly emerged responses are responsible for spontaneous cognitive restructuring of the meaning attribution of the memories, thus lowering SUDS ratings. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Toelichting: Hoe vanzelfsprekend is het om even na te slaan wat het onderzoek over discriminatie oplevert (Brondolo 2009), wat de gegevens over uitsluiting toevoegen, wat de ervaring van community health bijdraagt aan de psychiatrische behandeling van een geïmmigreerd persoon of diens nageslacht (De Jong 2010)? Waar vindt de medicus practicus theoretische steun als een patiënt bij hem komt voor een nieuw huis omdat het oude behekst is, wat hij afleidt uit vreemd gedrag van zijn kind dat de arts herkent als paniekstoornis? Hoe kan de psychiater wiens eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) vastloopt, profiteren van de kennis over cultuurverschillen bij emoties? (Mesquita 2003). Hoe helpt het cultureel identiteitsconcept, waarin identiteit wordt gezien als de resultante van een altijd doorgaande onderhandeling, de aanpak van de depressieve oudere die levenslang gezorgd heeft en nu steun van de kinderen moet ontberen? (Wei- Chin Hwang 2010). Vertrekkend vanuit de casus bespreken wij literatuur en keren terug naar de casus. Leerdoel: Aan het einde van de sessie kan de deelnemer sleutelwoorden herkennen die helpen om de verwarring op te heffen van niet overeenkomende appraisal en attributie tussen behandelaar en patiënt. Vervolgens herkent hij hoe deze sleutelwoorden de weg wijzen naar relevant onderzoek en vertaalt hij dat terug naar de behandelpraktijk.

Explanation: How obvious it just to save some research on discriminatory (Brondolo 2009), which Add information about exclusion, what the experience community mental health contributes to treatment of a person immigrated or its progeny (De Jong 2010)? Where medical practitioner finds theoretical support as a patient comes to him for a new home because the old bewitched, he infers the strange behavior of his child that the doctor recognizes as panic disorder? How can the psychiatrist whose Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) freezes, benefit from the knowledge of cultural differences with emotions? (Mesquita 2003). How helps the cultural identity concept, which identity is seen as the result of a unceasing negotiation, addressing the depressed older person who has brought life and now must do without the support of the children? (Wei- Chin Hwang 2010). Starting from the case we discuss literature and return to the case. Objective: At the end of the session The participant can recognize keywords help to eliminate the confusion of not matching between appraisal and attribution practitioner and patient. Then it recognizes how these keywords are relevant to the way research and translates it back to that treatment practices.
