een lange historie op het gebied van wetenschappelijk
onderzoek. Door naast het doen van patiëntenzorg,
wetenschappelijk onderzoek te verrichten
in samenwerking met universiteiten en
andere onderzoeksinstituten ontstaat wisselwerking
tussen de klinische en de onderzoekspraktijk
die de patiëntenzorg ten goede komt. In diverse
onderzoekslijnen (onder meer bipolaire stoornissen,
agressie/gedragstoornissen, eetstoornissen,
somatoforme stoornissen, ouderen) zijn onderzoekers
actief wat zich onder meer uit in internationale
publicaties. Om academisering te faciliteren,
is Altrecht in 2006 een formele relatie aangegaan

Abstract: Purpose of the study: Some patients with bipolar disorder do not show complete remission between episodes, but continue to exhibit subsyndromal mood symptoms [1]. One factor related may be comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which has been found to be present in 16% to 39% of patients with bipolar disorder [2]. We describe the first case of an unstable bipolar II patient with history of various traumas that received Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy and also underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before and after the EMDR treatment to explore its effect on the brain’s neural networks.

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.

All of these people have been der physically and/or sexually abused. Although we can treat thought and mood disorders with medication, the emotional memories of the trauma remain and can exacerbate the illness.

Abstract:
There is increasing evidence about bipolar patients are more exposed
than general population to negative life events and PTSD. This has consequences
on the illness course being associated with more relapses and subsyndromal
symptoms within affective episodes. We conducted the first controlled,
randomized study of EMDR versus treatment as usual in 20 bipolar, subsyndromal
traumatized bipolar patients. 11 Patients received between 15 and 20 sessions of
EMDR, the follow-up was up to 6 months in both groups. Our hypothesis was that
patients in the EMDR group would be more stable in their mood, would show less
affective relapses, improvement in cognition/functioning, and quality of life, when
compared with the control group. We present the first data of the evaluation after
three months of intervention.

Abstract:
Die stationare Essstorungstherapie lasst sich in vier Phasen unterteilen: Die Stabilisierungsphase, die Ressourcenorganisation, die Exposition und die Neuorientierungsphase. Fur diese Behandlungsphasen lassen sich Methoden der modernen Traumatherapie sinnvoll nutzen. Diese beruhen im Kern auf selbstorganisatiorischen Prinzipien, also der Arbeit mit dem psychischen Selbstheilungssystem. In Weiterentwicklung der Methodik der modernen Traumatherapie wurde fur die stationare Essstorungstherapie in der Stabilisierungsphasedas Konzept der akitiven Selbstailisierung entwickelt und fur die Ressourcenorganisation und Exposition die Technik des bipolaren EMDR. Durch Einfuhrung dieser Stategien haben sich die Behandlungsergebnisse erheblich verbessert. Der Vortag stellt die Arbeitwiese dar und die Behandlungsergebnisse an 176 Fallen stationarer Psychotherapie von Patientinnen mit Anorexie und Bulimie dar.
The steady Essstorungstherapie let be divided into four phases: the phase of stabilization, resource organization, exposition and reorientation phase. Treatment for these phases can be methods of modern trauma therapy sensibly. These are based on the core principles selbstorganisatiorischen, so working with the psychological self-healing system. In developing the methodology of modern trauma therapy for the steady Essstorungstherapie in Stabilisierungsphasedas concept of akitiven Selbstailisierung developed and resources for the organization and exposition of the art bipolar EMDR. By the introduction of this State Gien the results of treatment have improved significantly.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Background: Some functional imaging abnormalities found in bipolar disorder are state related, whereas others persist into euthymia. It is uncertain to what extent these latter changes may reflect continuing subsyndromal affective fluctuations and whether those can be modulated by therapeutic interventions. Method: We report functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings during performance of the n-back working memory task in a bipolar patient who showed a marked improvement in subsyndromal affective symptoms after receiving eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in the context of a clinical trial. Results: The patient's clinical improvement was accompanied by marked changes in functional imaging, as compared to 30 healthy subjects. fMRI changes were noted particularly in deactivation, with failure of deactivation in the medial frontal cortex partially normalizing after treatment. Conclusions: This case supports the potential therapeutic overall benefit of EMDR in traumatized bipolar patients and suggests a possible neurobiological mechanism of action: normalization of default mode network dysfunction.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Research of the last decade suggests a decisive role of traumatic events on the onset and on the course of severe mental disease, especially affective disorders. The robustness of this data has been largely ignored by the psychiatric community, also due to a striking lack of trials designated to traumatized patients with severe mental disease. With this workshop we aim to create awareness on that issue by reviewing existing evidence of the impact of trauma on the patients’ life with severe mental disease. We also will show first controlled data of EMDR in instable, traumatized bipolar patients, with a focus on its effect on trauma and mood stabilization. Furthermore, we will present for the first time a Spanish Bipolar EMDR protocol as direct result of the above-mentioned study; to highlight practical details of this protocol, we also will discuss two cases of the study in an interactive way with the audience.
Learning objectives:
Trauma in severe mental disorder is so far not adequately recognized and treated by therapists;
Understanding the role of trauma in severe mental disorder, with a focus on bipolar disorder;
Results of a first controlled pilot study of instable bipolar patients suggest that EMDR reduces effectively trauma symptoms and trauma load; and
Results also suggest that EMDR stabilizes better the mood of subsyndromal, instable bipolar patients than a control group.

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.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
This study investigated the patterns of reduction of distress in clinical personality
patterns, severe personality patterns, depressive constructs, other clinical syndromes, severe
clinical syndromes and dissociation following EMDR treatment. Thirty-two people, ranging
from 23 to 65 years old, underwent the full EMDR protocol treatment for up to three traumas.
The findings regarding clinical personality patterns revealed that EMDR is most
effective in reducing the symptoms of dependent personality pattern because 76% of
participants with clinically significant dependent personality pattern before EMDR treatment
no longer had a clinically significant score (>75) on the MCMI-III at the end of EMDR
treatment; compared to 75% with masochistic personality pattern, 77% with negativistic
personality pattern, 69% with avoidant personality pattern, 40% with depressive personality
pattern and 29% with schizoid personality pattern. These gains were maintained on the
MCMI-III at follow-up by 76% with dependent personality pattern, 64% with masochistic
personality pattern, 46% with negativistic personality pattern, 38% with avoidant personality
pattern, 30% with depressive personality pattern and 29% with schizoid personality pattern.
The analysis of the severe personality patterns at the end of EMDR treatment revealed
that the scores on the MCMI-III reduced from within one standard deviation above the mean
(60-74) to below the mean (<60) for 84% of participants with borderline personality pattern,
compared to 68% with paranoid personality pattern and 52% with schizotypal personality
pattern. These gains were maintained on the MCMI-III at follow-up by 84% with borderline
personality pattern, 68% with paranoid personality pattern and 48% with schizotypal
personality pattern.
The analysis of the depressive constructs revealed that EMDR is most effective in
reducing symptoms of major depression as 86% of participants with clinically significant
major depression before EMDR treatment no longer had a clinically significant score (>75) on the MCMI-III at the end of EMDR treatment; compared to 73% with dysthymia and 40%
with depressive personality pattern. These gains were maintained on the MCMI-III at followup
by 86% with major depression, 58% with dysthymia, and 33% with depressive personality
pattern.
The findings regarding the other clinical syndromes revealed that 91% of participants
with clinically significant post traumatic stress before EMDR treatment, no longer had a
clinically significant score (>75) on the MCMI-III at the end of EMDR treatment, compared
to 75% of participants with anxiety. These gains were maintained on the MCMI-III at followup
by 91% of participants with post traumatic stress and 69% of participants with anxiety.
The analysis of the severe clinical syndromes at the end of EMDR treatment revealed
that the scores on the MCMI-III reduced from within one standard deviation above the mean
(60-74) to below the mean (<60) for 78% of participants with delusional disorder, compared
to 67% with thought disorder, 32% with bipolar (manic), 28% with alcohol dependence and
28% with drug dependence. These gains were maintained on the MCMI-III at follow-up by
67% of participants with delusional disorder, compared to 63% with thought disorder, 53%
with bipolar (manic), 48% with alcohol dependence and 57% with drug dependence.
The analysis of the effects of EMDR on dissociation revealed that there was a
significant decrease in symptoms of dissociation on the DES at the end of EMDR treatment
and these gains were maintained at the follow-up measurement at the end of the study.
Whilst the findings of the present study cannot be generalised due to the small sample
size, the findings do suggest that EMDR is successful in the treatment of a number of clinical
conditions in addition to post traumatic stress; with further research being strongly indicated
in order to further explicate the efficacy of EMDR across different psychiatric conditions.

Abstract:
Die Psychoanalyse als Urmutter der Psychotherapie stand schon früh vor der Frage:
Konflikt oder Trauma? Sind die Neurosen, die Freud um die Jahrhundertwende in
Wien sah, die Folge von krankmachenden Erlebnissen oder von krankmachenden
Phantasien? Freud entschied sich nach einigem Hin und Her für Letzteres und ist
dafür viel kritisiert worden (Bergmann 1996). Zugleich hat er mit dem
psychoanalytischen Persönlichkeits- und Krankheitsmodell die Grundlage gelegt für
die gegenwärtige Erforschung der Folgen traumatischer Erfahrung auf das
Individuum. Dies findet mit enormer Entwicklungsdynamik derzeit in Klinik und
Wissenschaft statt. Wir erleben derzeit einen Paradigmenwechsel in der
Psychotherapie. Das traumatherapeutische Modell erweist sich als ein Metamodell
für Psychotherapie schlechthin, und beginnt die bekannten Verfahren zu integrieren.
So war auch mein persönlicher Weg. Ich bin erst Psychoanalytiker geworden, ich
liebe diese Arbeitsweise. Sie ist, wie wir heute sagen würden, ein
Expositionsverfahren, welches darauf beruht, krankmachendes Erlebnismaterial in
der Übertragung auf den Therapeuten wiederzubeleben und durchzuarbeiten. Wir
sehen nun aber, dass die Zahl derjenigen Patienten und Patientinnen immer größer
wird, denen der innerpsychische Verarbeitungsapparat für die krankmachenden
Erlebniskomplexe weitgehend fehlt. Sie sind zur Exposition noch nicht imstande.
Traumatherapeutisch gesprochen benötigen sie eine Stabilisierungsphase, in der
sich die Verarbeitungsfähigkeit überhaupt erst entwickeln kann.
Psychoanalysis as a mother of psychotherapy was early faced with the question:
Conflict or trauma? Are the neuroses that Freud at the turn in
Vienna saw the result of disease-causing or disease-causing experiences
Fantasies? Freud decided, after some back and forth for the latter and is
been much criticized (Bergmann 1996). He also has the
psychoanalytic personality-disease model and the foundation laid for
the current research on the effects of traumatic experience on the
Individual. This is done with tremendous dynamic of development currently in hospital and
Science instead. We are currently experiencing a paradigm shift in the
Psychotherapy. The traumatherapeutische model proves to be a meta model
for Psychotherapy absolutely, and begins to integrate the known methods.
That was my personal way. I first became a psychoanalyst, I
love this work. It is, as we would say today, a
Exposure method, which is based on experience pathogenic material in
revive the transfer to the therapist and work through. We
but now see that the number of patients and patients growing
is where the inner psychological processing apparatus for the disease-causing
Experience complexes are largely missing. You are not able to exposure.
spoken Traumatherapeutisch they need a stabilization phase in which
the processing ability may develop in the first place.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Incidence of heart disease: 43 % of all death cases are
caused by heart disease. In total this means 32,294 persons a
year in Austria.
Stationary treatment receiving 314,010 patients, with an average
term of hospitalization of 8 days (Statistics Austria 2008). For Germany the total figures are around 10 times higher. This
is the largest single patient group.
11.25% of the heart disease patients get PTSD, adjustment
disorder or other reactions to severe stress (Titscher. 2008).
Only for Austria a minimum of 35.000 patients could benefit
from a trauma treatment like EMDR. For Germany the
figure rises up to 350,000 patients a year who could benefit
from EMDR. To physicians the problem is well known, but
the only treatment they can offer is medication or further diagnostics
like angiography which doesn't cure the problem.
Despite the high number of traumatized heart patients, there are
only publications about trauma as a risk factor for heart disease.
There are a few publications about heart disease causing trauma,
but there are nearly no publications about treating trauma
caused by heart disease.
Typical symptoms for trauma after heart attack: Feeling of
tightness or pressure on the chest, tightness in the throat, with
difficulties in breathing. Ascending feeling of heat from the
stomach, trembling, weeping, fear and panic. Flashbacks of the
heart attack, with symptoms looking similar to angina pectoris.
Reduced stress tolerance by getting easily angry or depressed.
Useful questions for differential diagnostics between organic
and mental symptoms: What are the symptoms? How long do
they last? Were there any symptoms prior to the heart disease?
Which symptoms were present during the heart attack? Is it
distressing to remember the heart attack? How distressing on a
SUD-scale 0 to 10.
What are the medical findings? Two specifics:
1. Mainly I use the butterfly hug or tapping on the chest for
processing. This form of tapping is easy applicable and the patients
like it.
2. Weaving in Positive Cognitions (PCs) during the processing,
makes the processing less stressful, I offer PCs during the
processing and look if they help to reduce the stress.
Useful PCs: I survived. I am still alive. I am through. It is a long
time ago. i have trust in my body and my heart. If that doesn't
work: Even when my trust in my heart is shattered, I love and accept
myself. I am grateful. I live as long as I may I am confident.
Usually I use them in that succession with some adoptions according
to the process.
What is special about my presentation.
1. Hear about a large group of patients who can benefit from
EMDR.
2. Mostly heart disease are to consider as mono-traumatic. With
some specific knowledge and experience they are not difficult
to treat.
3. Notice the advantage of bipolar tapping on the chest.
4. Understand the advantage of weaving in PCs during the
processing.
5. The big question is: How to install EMDR in the rehabilitation
system?

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Disruptive behavior disorders such as Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Tourette's Disorder, Intermittent Explosive
Disorder and, to a lesser extent, some children with Bipolar Disorder, are among the most difficult conditions for clinicians to treat.
The difliculty is two-fold: Clinicians must find the balance between developing a rapport and working with the disruptive child
while also addressing the concerns of the parents who may be beyond their level of tolerance and looking for prompt improvement
and frequently the child's very diagnostic condition - disruptiveness - may prevent the child from willingly participating in the
treatment, despite the good rapport that the child and clinician may have.
EMDR is, a technique which has shown great promise in helping children who are 'stuck' break through their own stubbornness and
disruption to help them achieve a sense of self-control, insight and self-confidence. It also provides parents with reason to hope that
a prompt improvement maybe possible.
The essential aspect of successful utilization of EMDR with disruptive disorders resides in the creativity of the clinician and the
modfication of the standard EMDR protocol. Using EMDR with children, especially with young children, requires a nonstandard
administration only loosely based on the standard protocol. Children often won't - or can't - verbalize cognition's or adequately
employ SUDS scales reliably. Disruptive children may have access to their cognitions, but may decline to cooperate with clinicians.
The key in using EMDR with Children - as with many other techniques employed in treating children - is to make -the technique
challenging or fun or maybe a bit mysterious, depending upon the presentation of the child and his or her ability to take some
responsibility for the treatment process. The key with disruptive children is knowing how to combine EMDR usage with
engagement of the difficult child.
This workshop explores the use of such nonstandard EMDR administrations as auditory cueing and hand tapping and will review
how EMDR has been used to engage very difficult children.
The presentation will include both successful and unsuccessful treatment outcome, focusing on the identification of hidden
handicaps which could prevent engagement of a diflicult child and techniques on how to overcome those handicaps to help the child
to help him or herself.

Abstract:
This presentation offers a systematic approach for the treatment of patients
with complex traumatization. The first step involves assessing the severity of
the illness, using Babette Rothchild's trauma classification. A variety of
techniques will then be introduced, all of which have recently been
successfully combined with bipolar EMDR stimulation, and which serve to
increase stability and resources ["a safe place", Forgash's body sensation
resource, working with the inner child, Popkin's "position of power",
Hofmann's absorption routine, the CIPOS-technique developed by Knipe and
Forgash, etc.]. The lecture closes with a survey of methods useful for

Abstract:
Our lab specialized in the study of behavioral/cognitive changes following focal brain lesions. Phenomena were once considered mere curiosities - such as phantom limb, anosognosia and synesthesia - have now become "main stream"
partly as a result of the work done by us and many colleagues throughout the
world. This lecture will focus on disturbances in body image, phantom limbs, anosognosia (denial of paralysis) and somatoparaphrenia (denial of ownership of a limb). A new theory will be advanced to account for these, especially the
latter two in terms of asymmetries between the two hemispheres "coping styles"; the left involved in "Freudian defences" aud the right playing thc role of a "devils advocate" or anomaly detector. The spectrum of normal and abnormal personality styles and behavior emerges from a push-pull antagonism between
these two opposing tendencies. Vestibular stimulation through calorie cold-water
irrigation produces eye movements (nystagmus) and shifts the balance between the two hemispheres during the "orienting" response and produces profound shifts in mood and/or body image. We found that the procedure "de-represses"
apparently repressed memories in patient with denial (anosognosia) and there is
an obvious analogy here with the therapeutic claims of EMDR. The possibility
that bipolar disorder may be based on such alternation between hemispheres was
first proposed by us in 1996 and has received some support. Consequently caloric nystagmus might potentially be useful in treating disorders such as bipolar, post-traumatic stress, complex regional pain type 1, and other neuro-psychiatric disturbances as outlined briefly in my book Phantoms in the Brain.
