Abstract:
Presentation will address the therapeutic issues of a complex bereavement case with traumatized history in a bicultural society. EMDR as an integrative psychotherapeutic approach and theory like the "Structural Dissociation of the Personality" as proposed by Nijenhuis, Van der Hart, Steele complements each other in working with complex bereavement. The Presentation outlines the conceptualization of the case based on this theory, the working process and milestones. As the individual grieves, various aspects of structural dissociation are observed. Symptoms are understood in light of the "Apparently Normal and the Emotional Parts of the Personality". The working procedures within the EMDR framework involve processing materials from different aspects of structural dissociation. A reduction of trauma-related symptoms (i.e. depression, phobia, anxiety) over the course of EMDR treatment was observed. Finally, treatment issues as related to attachment, traumatic memory, and daily functioning are discussed in the context of a bicultural urban city. (Presented in English)

Abstract:
Bij het behandelen van kinderen met autisme wordt steeds meer een systemische aanpak gehanteerd. Daar waar het in de ouderbegeleiding vooral over psycho educatie en rouwverwerking gaat rond het autisme, staat in de gezinstherapie het systeem centraal en de samenwerking tussen de gezinsleden, rekening houdend met overeenkomsten en verschillen. Bij het gebruik van de EMDR binnen de gezinstherapie levert dit soms verrassende situaties op die op eigen wijze bijdragen aan veranderingen welke van te voren niet werden te voorzien.
In deze workshop worden een drietal casussen besproken waarbij (delen van) het gezin betrokken zijn. De aangemelde casussen zijn een jongen met laag zelfbeeld, een preverbaal trauma bij een geadopteerd meisje en een meisje dat dreigt zichzelf te beschadigen. Alle drie de kinderen zijn kinderen met ASS. Maar wat gebeurt er tijdens gecombineerde systeem-EMDR sessie?
In de presentatie neem ik deelnemers mee in woord en beeld en ga in gesprek.
When treating children with autism is becoming a systemic approach. Where in the parent guidance particularly on psychoeducation and bereavement goes around autism, family therapy is in the central system and the cooperation between family members, taking into account similarities and differences. With the use of EMDR in family therapy yields some surprising situations which in their own way contribute to changes which in advance were not providing.
In this workshop, three cases are discussed in which (parts of) the family involved. The notified cases are a boy with low self-esteem, a preverbal trauma in an adopted girl and a girl who threatens to harm himself. All three children are children with ASD. But what happens when combined system EMDR session?
In the presentation I take Participants in words and pictures and talk to them.

Abstract:
Tout au longe de notre vie, nous subissons des événements traumatisants : maladie, deuil, accident... S'en suivent stress, angoisse, dépression. Une nouvelle thérapie d'origine américaine vient de voir le jour : l'EMDR (Eyes Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ce qui signifie : mouvement oculaires de désenbilisation et de retraitement des informations négatives. Validée par un bon nombre d'études dont celle de l'Inserm, l'EMDR nous permet d'éliminer les effets néfastes des chocs émotionnels en favorisant l'apparition des émotions ainsi que leur évacuation. Au travers de récits étonnants, ce livre de référence nous fait comprendre les mécanismes de nos traumatismes, le dérèglement de notre cerveau émotionnel et les moyens de retrouver une vie sereine.
Throughout our lives, we experience traumatic events: illness, bereavement, accident ... Ensuing stress, anxiety, depression. A new therapy from the U.S. just to see the day: EMDR (Eyes Movement Desensitizer and Reprocessing), which means eye movement désenbilisation and reprocessing of negative information. Validated by many studies including that of Inserm, EMDR allows us to eliminate the adverse effects of emotional distress by encouraging the emergence of emotions and their evacuation. Through amazing stories, this reference book helps us understand the workings of our trauma, disruption of our emotional brain and the means to find a peaceful life.

Abstract:
The author notes the significance of the child-adult system and the effects of the death of either person on the other. She describes two treatment approaches: traumatic incident resolution (TIR) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Both approaches are reviewed, beginning with the theoretical model on which they are based. In a synthesis of both TIR and EMDR, the author offers "clinical traumatology skills" to overcome the potential bias introduced by the therapist. She discusses three focusing drills to develop practitioners' effectiveness in focusing on the most critical issues and procedures of trauma work. Acknowledgement and closure drills enable practitioners to more effectively end trauma work sessions. The author also discusses what effective trauma treatment should look like. These end points help assure both client and therapist that the distress associated with the memories has been removed permanently. After discussing the role of emotions in processing traumatic events, the chapter focuses on TIR and then EMDR regarding assessment and treatment procedures. This is followed by a discussion of what can go wrong when applying the treatment procedures. The chapter ends with presentation and discussion of a case example. [Adapted from Introduction]

Abstract:
Cette étude exploratoire a pour objectif de tester l’application de la thérapie Eye Movement Desensitization
and Reprocessing (EMDR) dans le cadre de la prise en charge du deuil traumatique. Le deuil traumatique, qui
correspond à la perte brutale d’un autre significatif, répond à un tableau clinique précis dont les principales
caractéristiques sont les pensées intrusives concernant le défunt et des difficultés d’ajustement face à la
perte (sentiment de vide, difficultés à reconnaître le décès, irritabilité, absence de réactivité, etc.). Les huit
participants de l’étude sont tous des membres de la famille des victimes de la collision de train qui a eu lieu
le 12 octobre 2006 à Zoufftgen. Les sujets, âgés en moyenne de 35,2 ans (S.D. = 11,1) et comprenant 75%de
femmes, ont suivi entre huit à 15 séances (m = 10,75 ; S.D. = 2,21) répondant au protocole EMDR. L’efficacité
de la thérapie a été évaluée à partir de plusieurs critères comprenant la mesure du deuil traumatique, de
l’anxiété, de la dépression et de la détresse psychologique. Cinq évaluations ont été réalisées : avant la prise
en charge (T0), après six séances (T1), à la fin de la prise en charge (T2), puis à trois mois (T3) et 12 mois
(T4) après la fin de la thérapie. Les principaux résultats semblent indiquer une efficacité de la prise en charge
EMDR. En effet, on note une diminution de tous les indicateurs entre le début (T0) et la fin de la prise en charge (T2). En outre, lorsque cette diminution ne se poursuit pas à trois et à 12 mois, elle reste, au minimum,
stable à un an. Ces premières observations sont d’autant plus encourageantes que 10 à 15% des patients
endeuillés peuvent développer une dépression chronique.

(m = 10.75, S.D. = 2.21) answering protocol EMDR. The effectiveness of the therapy was evaluated starting
from several criteria including traumatic bereavement, anxiety, depression and psychological distress. Five
evaluations were carried out: before the therapy (T0), after six meetings (T1), at the end of the therapy (T2),
then in three months (T3) and 12 months (T4) after the end of the therapy. The principal results seem to
indicate an effectiveness of the therapy EMDR. Indeed, we observe a reduction in all the indicators between
the beginning (T0) and the end of the therapy (T2). Moreover, when this reduction does not continue to three
and 12 months, it remains, at least, stable at one year. These observations are very encouraging especially
when it is known that 10 to 15% of the patient develops a chronic depression.

Language: Italian
Format: Conference
Abstract:
L’articolo si propone di evidenziare l’efficacia dell’EMDR nei casi di lutto, in particolare quando questo evento implica un trauma psicologico, che interferisce con il normale processo di elaborazione della perdita. Si delinea allora una situazione definita “lutto complicato o traumatico”, che determina una elaborazione complessa dell’evento luttuoso bloccandone la sua risoluzione.
Una perdita traumatica sconvolge le capacità di coping della persona e pregiudica le sue facoltà di adattamento, aumentando il disagio e complicando l’elaborazione dell’evento.
Laddove il lutto acuto è dominato dal trauma, l’impiego dell’EMDR facilita il passaggio il passaggio attraverso le varie fasi dell’elaborazione del lutto e favorisce l’assimilazione e l’adattamento alla perdita.
Ad illustrare quanto enunciato dal punto di vista teorico viene presentato un caso clinico, nel quale un lutto complicato, strettamente connesso a sintomi depressivi, viene sbloccato e ricondotto ad un normale processo di elaborazione grazie all’applicazione dell’EMDR su un solo targhet specifico.
La paziente, una giovane donna di 24 anni, presentava un disturbo distimico di gravità moderata, con spunti ansiosi. Non prendeva psicofarmaci. Qualche anno prima le era stato diagnosticato un disturbo di panico con agorafobia e aveva assunto Lexotan per un certo periodo.
Sono stati somministrati appositi test psicologici, all’inizio e al termine della terapia finalizzata all’elaborazione del lutto. Un altro re-test è stato fatto a distanza di un anno circa.
The article aims to highlight the effectiveness of EMDR in cases of bereavement, particularly when this event involves a psychological trauma, which interferes with the normal process of elaboration of the loss. It then outlines a situation as "complicated grief or traumatic, determines a complex event processing mournful blocking its resolution. A traumatic loss upsets the coping skills of the person and impairs his ability to adaptation, increasing the discomfort and complicating the development of the event.
where the mourning is dominated by acute trauma, the use EMDR facilitates the passage through the various stages of mourning and promotes assimilation and adaptation to loss.
Illustrate what is stated by the theoretical point of view is presented a clinical case in which a complicated grief, which is closely linked to depressive symptoms, is unlocked and returned to a normal process by applying EMDR on one target specific. The patient, a young woman of 24 years, had a dysthymic disorder of moderate severity, with ideas anxious. Not taking psychotropic drugs. A few years earlier had been diagnosed with panic disorder with agoraphobia and had taken Lexotan for a certain period. Appropriate psychological tests were administered at the beginning and end of therapy aimed elaboration of mourning. Another re-test was done at a distance of about one year.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Explanations for the effects of the rapid eye movements induced during Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR; Shapiro, 2001) have drawn upon an analogy with the eye movements of REM sleep (Kuiken, Bears, Miall, and Smith, 2002). An extension of that analogy posits two orienting systems, one involving threat-fear related mnemonic contextualization and another involving loss-pain related monitoring of conflicting response alternatives. In a study involving individuals who had recently experienced significant loss or trauma, we found that experimentally induced saccadic eye movements decreased reaction times to unexpected stimuli among those reporting traumatic distress (characterized by hyperarousal and intrusive thoughts) and increased reaction times among those reporting separation distress (characterized by vivid reminiscences and the sense of a foreshortened future). Also, we found that saccadic eye movements increased the perceived strikingness of metaphoric sentence endings among those reporting amnesia for events related to either loss or trauma. The eye movements of both EMDR and REM sleep may differently affect the attentional and cognitive reorienting activity of those living with the consequences of loss or trauma. These differences may be evident in their waking reflections and in their dreams.

Abstract:
The adaptive information processing (AIP) model, the theoretical model

explains how the AIP model can be used to better understand a case of
complicated bereavement in a 27-year-old client, and how a treatment plan

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are to some extent discriminated against when it comes to the psychotherapies. The long held belief that individuals with ID do not benefit from such interventions has been attributed in part to communication difficulties, lack of insight and lack of language
sophistication. Yet, it is well known that these individuals are about four-fold at risk of developing mental health problems. Cognitive behavior therapies (CBT) and other related therapies are becoming more recognized in the field of intellectual disabilities. Loss and bereavement is common among people with ID but their exposure to interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR) has been limited. EMDR is a psychological intervention that encompasses many aspects of
traditional therapies such as CBT and psychodynamic therapies. There is little research in this area for people with ID. This paper reports two cases in individuals with intellectual disabilities who were
struggling with bereavement. They appear to have benefited from EMDR sessions and there may be
scope for research to establish its efficacy in this field.

Abstract:
La pérdida de un ser querido es un evento de gran impacto emocional
que afectando a todo el sistema familiar, puede ser muy diferente en el modo
en que cada uno de sus miembros perciba, interprete, afronte y se adapte
a la nueva situación tras la pérdida y las demandas por ella creadas. Es
frecuente que una pérdida no elaborada de forma adecuada dé paso a problemas
emocionales e incluso trastornos psicopatológicos al cabo de meses
o incluso años; sin embargo, un duelo adecuadamente elaborado mejora las
capacidades futuras para enfrentarse a las situaciones de pérdida, frustración
o sufrimiento.
La premisa fundamental del modelo de procesamiento adaptativo de información
(PAI) en la que se basa la terapéutica de EMDR sería: la perturbación
que la persona sufre en la actualidad es el resultado de un almacenamiento
disfuncional de la información (Shapiro, 2001). El procesamiento
implica el forjar nuevas asociaciones con información adaptativa proveniente
de otras redes de memoria disponibles para vincularse en la red de memoria
restaurando la información disfuncional almacenada. Desde este modelo, el
duelo complicado se desarrolla cuando los componentes individuales son
tan dolorosos, que se desarrolla una alta sensibilidad cada vez que se reactiva
un fragmento del recuerdo y no se logra la integración. Los fragmentos
activados pueden competir por la atención en la mente, haciendo que ésta
vaya de atrás para adelante entre dos o más aspectos de la muerte. Esta
falta de foco impide el procesamiento de los fragmentos individuales, como
cuando el procesamiento de la pérdida en si misma se desvía por el recuerdo
de los detalles de cómo la persona murió.
En esta comunicación, presentamos el protocolo de EMDR aplicado al
duelo complicado a través del análisis de un caso clínico.
The loss of a loved one is an event of great emotional impact
that affect the entire family system, may be very different in the way
in that each of its members perceive, interpret, and adapt confronts
to the new situation after the loss and the demands created by it. this is
loss often not adequately prepared to give way to problems
psychopathology emotional and even after months
or even years, but properly prepared duel improves
future capabilities to face situations of loss, frustration
or suffering.
The fundamental premise model adaptive information processing
(AIP) which is based on EMDR therapy would be: the disturbance
the person is currently suffering is the result of a storage
Dysfunctional information (Shapiro, 2001). processing
involves forging new partnerships with adaptive information from
other networks available memory on the network to link memory
restoring the dysfunctional information stored. From this model,
Complicated grief occurs when the individual components are
so painful that develops high sensitivity reactive whenever
a fragment of memory and integration is not achieved. fragments
activated can compete for attention in the mind, causing it
go back and forth between two or more aspects of death. this
lack of focus prevents processing of the individual fragments, as
when processing the loss itself is diverted by the memory
the details of how the person died.
In this paper, we present the EMDR protocol applied to
Complicated grief through the analysis of a clinical case.

The aim of these exploratory study is to test the application
of therapy EMDR in case of traumatic bereavement. The
traumatic bereavement, which corresponds to the brutal loss of
"other significant", answers a precise clinical picture whose principal
characteristics are the intrusive thoughts concerning the
late one and of the difficulties of adjustment to the loss (feeling
of vacuum, difficulties of recognizing the death, irritability, lack
of reactivity, etc.). The 8 participants all of this study are of the took peace on October 12, 2006 in Zoufftgen. The subjects, old
on average 35.2 years ( S D = l I . l ) and including 75% women,
followed between 8 to 15 meetings (m=10.75, SD = 2.21) answering
protocol EMDR The effectiveness of the therapy was
evaluated starting from several criteria including traumatic bereavement,
anxiety, depression and psychological distress. Five
evaluations were carried out: before the therapy (TO), after six
meetings (TI), at the end of the therapy (T2), then in three
months (T3) and twelve months (T4) after the end of the therapy.
The principal results seem to indicate an effectiveness of the
therapy EMDR. Indeed, we observe a reduction in all the indicators
between the beginning (TO) and the end of the therapy
(TI). Moreover, when this reduction does not continue to three
and twelve months, it remains, at least, stable at one year. These
observations are very encouraging especially when it is known
that 10 to 15% of the patients develop a chronic depression.

Abstract:
Le deuil et la dépression sont des expériences de vie qui présentent un défi pour les mécanismes d’adaptation et remettent en question les états d’équilibre déjà établis. Les liens qui deviennent de plus en plus évidents entre ces états expérientiels et la présence de mécanismes défectueux de traitement de l’information soulignent l’importance d’offrir des services psychothérapeutiques, telle l’approche EMDR qui tient compte de ces besoins et de ces processus spécifiques. Notre présentation veut souligner : 1) l’importance des protocoles et des principes de base de l’approche EMDR comme modèle d’intégration des processus de psychothérapie 2) les recherches qui explorent les mécanismes dysfonctionnels des réseaux de mémoire impliqués lors du travail du deuil et 3) les applications de protocoles spécifiques EMDR pour les diverses étapes du deuil. La partie expérientielle de cette présentation explorera certains des facteurs adaptatifs permettant le renouvellement de cet équilibre perdu et la consolidation de mécanismes reliés à la résilience. (Tous les niveaux)
Grief and depression are life experiences that are challenging for coping and challenge the already established equilibrium states. The links are becoming increasingly evident between these experiential states and the presence of defective mechanisms of information processing emphasize the importance of providing psychotherapeutic services, such as the EMDR approach that addresses these needs and these specific processes. Our presentation will highlight: 1) the importance of protocols and basic principles of the EMDR approach as a model for the integration of psychotherapy process 2) research that explores the dysfunctional mechanisms of memory networks involved in the work of mourning and 3) applications of EMDR protocols specific for the various stages of grief. The experiential part of this presentation will explore some of the factors adaptive to the renewal of this lost balance and strengthening mechanisms associated with resilience. (All levels)

Abstract:
The death of a loved one confronts people with particularly complicated challenges at
a time of often unparalleled distress. This workshop will focus on integrating EMDR
into the treatment of grief and mourning. Understanding grief and mourning in terms
of the Adaptive Information Processing model will be presented and illustrated by case
presentations and videos of EMDR sessions. EMDR does not shorten the phases the
mourner has to go through for adaptive assimilation and accommodation of the loss,
but processes the factors that can complicate the mourning. The processes the
mourner has to go through for assimilation and accommodation of the loss, and how
EMDR facilitates movement through them, will be presented. Particular attention will
be paid to how EMDR facilitates the emergence of adaptive inner representations. We
do not lose attachments to loved ones that die, they are transformed. We move from
loving in presence to loving in absence. Memories of the deceased often emerge
during EMDR treatment. It is the emergence of memories of the deceased that let us
know and acknowledge the meaning of the relationship, the person’s role in our lives
and identity, and enable us to carry the basic security of having loved and been loved
into the future. We can go forward in a world without the deceased, because we have
an adaptive inner representation to take with us.
Content includes:
· Overview of AIP model and how it applies to grief and mourning
· Acute grief as a form of traumatic stress
· Common responses to loss
· The six “R” processes of mourning
· High-risk factors predisposing to complicated mourning
· General principles of EMDR treatment in grief and mourning

Francine Shapiro 'metoden av "Eye Movement desensitivisering og gjenvinning" er beskrevet, illustrert med vellykket behandling av tre saker etter væpnet ran (to) og plutselig død. Rask reduksjon av påtrengende bilder fulgte behandlingen. En kritisk gjennomgang av litteraturen er foretatt, og ulike metodiske begrensninger i de eksisterende studiene er noted.Although det teoretiske grunnlaget er tvilsomt, og det er alvorlige metodologiske begrensninger i studiene som finnes, kliniske erfaringer med metoden viser svært gode resultater. Klinikere oppfordres til å oppsøke mer kunnskap om metoden, så vel som bruk systematiske metoder for å studere resultatene. [Forfatter sammendrag]

Rapid reduction of intrusive images followed the treatment. A critical review of the literature is undertaken, and different methodological limitations in the existing studies are noted.Although the theoretical foundation is questionable, and there are serious methodological limitations in the studies that exist, clinical experiences with the method indicate very favourable results. Clinicians are encouraged to seek out more knowledge about the method, as well as use systematic methods to study its results. [Author abstract]

Abstract:
This article describes the treatment of PTSD using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with four pre-adolescent children. EMDR has been shown to bring rapid relief in adults with PTSD. Studies are beginning to show that it can also be useful in work with young children. However, the standard protocol requires some adjustment to make it suitable for use with young children. In addition, in situations where children have complex difficulties in addition to PTSD, EMDR may need to be used alongside other interventions within a complex treatment package. This study describes brief work carried out with four pre-adolescent children with PTSD. Three of these children had received no treatment despite suffering from significant and chronic symptoms for some years. One had suffered a recent traumatic bereavement. All had additional problems that required intervention. EMDR was used as part of a multimodal treatment package. In all cases, the children's PTSD symptoms resolved within 2-4 sessions of EMDR. The maximum total number of sessions was 7. The children's symptomatic improvements were maintained at 6-month follow-up. EMDR can be adapted for use with pre-adolescent children. It can provide rapid and lasting symptomatic relief. EMDR can be a useful part of a multi-modal treatment package for young children with PTSD and additional mental health problems. [Author Abstract]

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]

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative client-centered approach that is presently widely used in the treatment of trauma. Use of this method within a comprehensive treatment plan can significantly accelerate recovery from a recent traumatic event, hasten the working through of unresolved past events, and facilitate the client's incorporation of adaptive beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. Furthermore, treatment effects appear to be stable over time. [Text, p. 231]

Abstract:
Objetivo: Compartilhar a remissão dos sintomas da Síndrome da Fibriomialgia, com a Intervenção Psicoterapêutica EMDR – Dessensibilização e Reprocessamento através de movimentos oculares. R.M.S. iniciou seu tratamento psicoterapêutico em Outubro de 2010, na Abordagem Cognitiva Comportamental. R.M.S. nasceu em 23/06/1957, estava com 53 anos, viúva, tem duas filhas, uma solteira a outra casada. Sofria um luto há mais de três anos porque não aceitava a morte do marido. Apresentava Depressão e Ansiedade, e outras comorbidades: Anorexia Nervosa, Lúpus, Síndrome de Fibriomialgia. De Outubro de 2010 a Dezembro de 2011, a Intervenção Psicoterapêutica em TCC foi associada à medicação psicotrópica com a qual conseguiu redução dos sintomas depressivos. Fazia uso de outros medicamentos para a Síndrome da Fibriomialgia, Lúpus, assim como recorrentes internações em hospital de Clinica Médica Geral para a realização de procedimentos para a redução da dor intensa no corpo (Síndrome da Fibriomialgia) e de intervenção aos sintomas da Anorexia. Após um período de férias, entraram em contato comigo informando que a paciente estava hospitalizada permanecendo duas semanas com a hipótese diagnóstica de câncer, o que na sequência não foi confirmado, tendo recebido alta hospitalar. A dor intensa no corpo, a dificuldade para respirar permaneciam iguais. Solicitou o retorno para a psicoterapia, quando foi sugerido sobre a Intervenção Psicoterapêutica EMDR. As sessões foram realizadas conforme protocolo do EMDR. Para o Planejamento das Sessões o foco incial era a Síndrome de Fibriomialgia. Foi pedido à paciente para definir onde ela sentia mais dor no corpo, e de imediato mencionou a dificuldade para respirar, com a queixa de dor no peito. Nesta primeira sessão, ocorreram dessensibilização e reprocessamento rapidamente, tendo a mesma solicitado para trabalhar os braços. As sessões foram realizadas duas a três vezes na semana, e ao longo deste processo podem ser ouvidas frases tais quais: “Como pode passei por tantos médicos e estou sendo curada com por uma psicóloga” (sic); “Gastei com tanto medicamento, aqui com você não tomo remédio e não estou sentindo mais dor no meu corpo” (sic). A terapia prossegue a Intervenção Psicoterapêutica EMDR.

Abstract:
Klinik psikoloji alanında ağrıya ilişkin çalışmalar son yıllarda gittikçe artmaktadır. Önceleri kronik ağrının psikolojik boyutlarına yönelik model oluşturmaya ağırlık verilirken daha sonraları tedaviye yönelik psikoterapotik yaklaşımların geliştirilmesine odaklanılmıştır. 1987 yılında Klinik Psikolog olan Francine SHAPİRO, istemli ve sistematik olarak yapılan göz hareketlerinin, olumsuz ve rahatsız edici düşüncelerin yoğunluğunu azalttığı tezinden hareketle Göz Hareketleri ile Duyarsızlaştırma ve Yeniden Yapılandırma-Eye Movement Desensitization and Repocessing (EMDR) tekniğini geliştirmiş. İki yıl boyunca etkinliğini araştırmak üzere çalışmalar yapmıştır. EMDR ilk olarak, savaş stresi, taciz, doğal afetler veya çocukluk döneminde yaşanan üzücü olaylar gibi rahatsız edici yaşam deneyimlerinin neden olduğu duygusal sorunların iyileştirilmesinde kullanılmıştır. Daha sonraları fobi, performans kaygısı, panik bozukluk, beden algısı bozukluğu, çocuklardaki travma belirtileri, yas, dermatolojik bozukluklar, fantom organ ağrısı ve en son olarak da kronik ağrı tedavisinde kullanılmış oldukça çarpıcı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Aşağıdaki yazıda ülkemizde henüz yeni yeni yaygınlaşan bu tekniğin tedavi rasyoneli ve uygulaması hakkında kısa bir bilgi sunulmaktadır. Özünü bilgi işleme yaklaşımlarından ve davranışın nöropsikolojik temellerinden alan EMDR Tekniğin in kronik ağrıyı açıklanma biçiminin zenginliği yanı sıra tedavideki sıra dışı başarısının önümüzdeki yıllarda psikoterapi alanında daha çok ilgi yaratacağı düşünülmektedir.
Psychological treatment studies in pain disorders have greatly increased in recent years. The focus was first on the development of theories and models related to chronic pain. However, main focus has been on the development of therapeutic approaches which are effective in the treatment of chronic pain. In 1987, Clinical Psychologist Francine Shapiro developed the novel Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR ) technique based on the idea that voluntary and systematic eye movements could effectively decrease the intensity of negative and disturbing thoughts and has since then been undertaking research on the topic. EMDR was first used in post-travmatic stres disorders as a result of wars, rape, earthquake and childhood abuse to deal with the emotional disturbaunces of problematic life experiences. It later started to encompass phobias, performance anxiety, panic attacks, body-image disorders, trauma symptoms in children bereavement, skin diseases, phantom limb pains and lastly chronic pain treatment with striking results. This paper consists of brief information on the underlying principles and application procedures of EMDR. This technique is mainly based on both information processing and neuropsychological approaches. EMDR has comprehensive approaches to explain the reasons for chronic pain. It seems most likely that the technique will prove widespread to be of great interest within the area of psychotherapies.

Mainland China was one of the SARS prevailing countries during April to
June in 2003. In confront this severe situation, psychologists and professionals
working in the mental health area showed soon reactions on it. The paper
will introduce their work in the following aspects: (1) Psychological
education. (2) Mental assistance hotlines. (3) Psychological intervention: The
work has been done in three aspects, one was to help medical doctors,
nurses and other staff who worked in the SARS wards. The second was to
encourage the SARS patients facing the disease and fighting with it. The
third was that giving bereavement counselling for the people who lost their
relatives and friends for SARS.
Except the above reactions, professionals have also taken a serious
consideration on the disaster intervention system in mainland China. Several
suggestions have been raised and they are devoting a great effort to
promote new program for setting up the system.

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.

Abstract:
Trauma might be described in terms of an event
experienced, or the effects or consequences
(symptoms) of the event. In the latter case,
the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-IV-TR1
is the most quoted source for defining post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD). This collection of symptoms
is helpful in indicating when trauma is severe enough
to need serious treatment. Smaller trauma, on the
other hand, is often neglected by therapists, doctors
and the general population as something we just
have to cope with. But the effects of even small
trauma in childhood are seriously accumulative and
often underrated. It is also arguable that untreated
attachment difficulties in early childhood can
increase the likihood of PTSD – but this statement
still rests on anecdotal evidence.

Abstract:
The author presents a description of the treatment methodology called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which facilitates the adaptive integration of traumatic information. EMDR is theoretically based upon the information-processing model called accelerated information processing. This chapter articulates the information-processing model of healing from traumatic loss. In traumatic loss there is an inability to integrate the traumatic information into one's assumptive world. Unprocessed traumatic information may result in intense feelings of vulnerability, helplessness, and low self-worth and efficacy. At the end of this chapter the author introduces the concept of expansion of basic world assumptions as a normative outcome of processing the traumatic situation. Expanded basic world assumptions involve a deeper awareness of vulnerability. [Adapted from Introduction]

Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the differential effects of treatment of a complex of symptomatology that includes grief, PTSD, anxiety, and self-esteem by comparing eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and guided mourning (GM) treatments. Method: 23 EMDR clients and 27 GM clients completed measures designed to assess psychosocial and behavioral symptoms of loss before and after treatment and at a 9-month-follow-up period. Results: Out of the 5 psychosocial measures of distress, four (State Anxiety, Impact of Event Scale, Index of Self-Esteem, and PTSD) were found to be significantly altered by type of treatment provided, with EMDR clients reporting the greatest reduction of PTSD symptoms. Data from the behavioral measures revealed similar findings. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Last year over 3 million children were exposed to physical and sexual abuse, and/or community and domestic violence (based on
conservative estimates. Of these, approximately 1 million will require mental health, medical and educational services related to
PTSD symptoms. The present workshop will make extensive use of videotaped sessions to illustrate the effectiveness of EMDR
with traumatized children and children who exhibit symptomatology related to the major psychiatric syndromes exhibited in
childhood.
General considerations in using EMDR with children will be covered. Issues related to client safety during EMDR will be
illustrated with a tape of a 10-year-old boy who was traumatized by physical abuse and his inability to protect his younger brothers.
Standard protocols for use with children will be demonstrated by videotape, ranging from protocols appropriate for eight-year-olds
and older; to those appropriate for most five- to eight-year-olds; and finally to those appropriate for children less than five. For
example, nightmares are often a target of choice for young children, and this will be illustrated with a video of a four-year-old boy
resolving a nightmare image.
Diagnostic issues in using EMDR with children will also be covered. A majority of children referred for psychotherapy are referred
for abuse (physical and sexual) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). An overview of ADHD will be provided,
with a discussion of how these-symptoms often overlap with PTSD symptomatology, causing diagnostic difficulties. Videotapes
and overheads will be used in case presentations. The effects of divorce on children will be adumbrated, along with developmental
considerations. Again, videos will be used to amplify the discussion. The effects of physical and sexual abuse on children, and how
EMDR can be helpful with these children will be another major topic for consideration. Videos illustrating this process will be
presented. PTSD in children will be examined, along with developmental considerations, and illustrated by videotape. If possible,
footage from children traumatized by the bombing in Oklahoma City, will be included. Other videos could include using EMDR
with a four-year-old child who was in an automobile accident, whose behavior continued to be impaired six months later, and a
youth who accidentally shot and killed his younger cousin. Childhood disorders following bereavement will also be discussed and
illustrated via videotape. References will be provided.

Language: English

Abstract: This paper will describe the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in preadolescent children using Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR has shown to bring rapid relief in adults with PTSD, Studies are begining to show that it can also be useful in work with young children. However, the standard protocol requires some adjustment. In addition, in situation where children have complex difficulties in addition to PTSD, EMDR may need to be used alongside other interventions within a complex treatment package. Method: This study describes brief work carried out with 4 preadolescent children with PTSD. Three of these children had receive no treatment in spite of suffering from significant and chronic symptoms ofr years. One had suffered a traumatic bereavement. All had additional problems that required intervention. EMDR was used as part of a comprehensive treatment package. Results: In all cases, the children's PTSD symptoms resolved within 2-4 sessions of EMDR. The maximum total number of sessions was 7. The children's symptomatic improvements were maintained at 6 month follow-up. Comment: EMDR can be adapted for use with preadolescent children. It can povide rapid and lasting symptomatic relief. EMDR can be a useful part of a multi-modal treatment package for young childen with PTSD and additional mental health problems.

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

Abstract:
Traumatic bereavement is the state of having suffered the loss of a loved one when grief over the death is overpowered by the traumatic stress brought about by its circumstances. EMDR can be integrated into treatment of traumatic bereavement to process the trauma that complicates the bereavement and enable the mourner to complete the necessary processes involved in assimilation/accommodation of the loss. This presentation will discuss grief and bereavement, the processes necessary for adaptive assimilation and accommodation of the loss, factors that can complicate bereavement, treatment guidelines, and how EMDR can be integrated into an overall treatment plan.

Abstract:
Traumatic bereavement is the state of having suffered the loss of a
loved one when grief is overpowered by the traumatic stress
brought about by its circumstances. Trauma can disable the ability
to cope, impair functioning, and compromise the ability to adapt.
Trauma also complicates the mourning by interfering with the
processes the mourner has to go through for assimilation and
accommodation of the loss.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an
integrative psychotherapeutic approach, is an effective treatment
for trauma. The underlying theoretical model (Adaptive
Information Processing Model) posits that trauma can lead to
experiences becoming “frozen” in the brain in state specific form,
unable to process. EMDR processing involves the forging of new
associations, with adaptive information from other memory
networks able to link in to the memory network holding the
dysfunctionally-stored information.
EMDR can be integrated into treatment of traumatic bereavement
to process the trauma complicating the bereavement, and enable
the mourner to complete the necessary processes involved in
mourning the loss.
This presentation will discuss grief and bereavement, the
processes the mourner has to go through for adaptive assimilation
and accommodation of the loss, and how EMDR can be integrated
into an overall treatment plan.
