1. Lopacka, J., & Phoeun, B. (2010, July). Building on experience: Post-typhoon trauma EMDR work in Cambodia utilising the lessons learned from Thailand's post-tsuname programme. Symposium (Carolyn L. Neunuebel, Chair) conducted at the 1st EMDR Asia Conference, Bali, Indonesia.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
On September 26th 2009 Typhoon Ketsana wrought devastation on parts of the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia. Mindful of the hard lessons learned running a tsunami trauma programme in Thailand in 2005/06 Jane Lopacka, an EMDR therapist and training facilitator and director of Phnom Penh Counselling Centre, led and supervised a team of Cambodian MA in Clinical Psychology students who were trained in Part 1 EMDR to provide EMDR treatment to Ketsana victims. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the scope, assessment methods, treatment programme, constraints, financial issues, and challenges of the programme whilst utilising the lessons learned from Thailand’s Tsunami EMDR trauma programme. The results regarding the efficacy of EMDR in a Cambodian context will be examined using pre and post treatment data. The results include a comparison of 4 months post-treatment evaluation compared to an assessment of an equivalent random number of Ketsana victims from the same and neighbouring villages who did not receive treatment (to be completed in June 2010 as the farming season dictates). This paper will also demonstrate the utilisation of the lessons learned from Thailand’s Tsunami EMDR programme in a typhoon trauma treatment programme in Cambodia. Also, this being the students’ first exposure to trauma work using EMDR, this paper will record the experiences of the students involved. By way of conclusion this paper will identify further lessons learned in Cambodia along with recommendations regarding future feasible and manageable post-trauma work with limited resources and a small budget in a Southeast context.

3. Ichii, M. (2010, July). EMDR history in Asia: Past, present and future. Keynote presented at the 1st EMDR Asia Conference, Bali, Indonesia.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
To know the present status of EMDR in Asian countries: Method: Inquiries by e-mail to the representatives of Asian countries and related US or European people were sent. Replies were received from countries like Australia, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Thailand. Questions were on the origin of EMDR, the first training, the number of trainings so far, the number of trained practitioners, credentials, academic organization, acceptance from government, media, and professional world, future possibilities, and difficulties expected. Results: Some countries like Australia, Japan and Korea have already reached the moderate stage, but still they have problems to be solved. In Australia, their first training was in 1993 and many therapists have received training, but, organization started very recently and network is not strong. In Japan, Japan EMDR Association has more than 800 members and started publishing their own academic journal in 2009. However sceptical statements about EMDR can be seen in some books on trauma. In Korea, they have health insurance system for EMDR but practitioners are few. The other countries are in the early stage to grow the EMDR community or support the EMDR therapists. Most of them began the history after a big natural disaster like Tsunami or earthquake. HAP from Europe and/or US supports their beginning. The first Asian conference could be a good opportunity to start mutual understanding and cooperation in Asia.

5. Chandarasiri, P. (2012, June). Mekong Project - EMDR treatment for traumatised populations [El proyecto Mekong -­‐ Tratamiento con EMDR para poblaciones traumatizadas]. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Madrid, Spain.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Trauma Aid is a non-­‐profit association whose major aim is to improve the quality of trauma treatment of people who have been exposed to violence and other forms of extreme psychological distress. Project Mekong was established in response to the living circumstances of the target region populations of Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and Indonesia whose experiences have been shaped by natural disasters, military conflicts and acts of interpersonal violence. The main objective of this EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programme (EMDR HAP) project is to establish an integrated training program for the treatment of PTSD for therapists in the Mekong region and Indonesia. The project commenced in early 2011 and offers a unique layered approach by offering five different training levels, training participants, EMDR facilitators in training, EMDR supervisors in training, EMDR trainers in training, and continuous professional development of existing EMDR trainers. Within the training program there are over 60 participants from eleven different countries. This culturally rich component of the project allows the bringing together of personal resources, creativity and a wealth of experiences between the project participants and the training team. The purpose of this presentation is to outline some of the audit data being collected by training participants with the clinical work with clients and provides an insight into how EMDR is being successfully applied with trauma populations within the Mekong region.

Trauma Aid es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro cuyo objetivo principal es el de mejorar la calidad del tratamiento para trauma de personas expuestas a violencia, así como a otras formas de angustia psicológico extremo. El Proyecto Mekong se estableció como respuesta a las circunstancias de vida de las poblaciones de la región diana en Tailandia, Camboya, Birmania e Indonesia, cuyas experiencias han sido conformadas por las catástrofes naturales, conflictos militares y actos de violencia interpersonal. El objetivo fundamental de este proyecto del Programa de Ayuda Humanitaria de EMDR (EMDR HAP, por sus siglas en inglés) consta de implantar un programa de formación integral para el tratamiento de TEPT para los terapeutas en la región del Mekong e Indonesia. El proyecto tuvo su comienzo a principios del año 2011 y ofrece un planteamiento singular por capas al proporcionar cinco niveles distintos de formación: la formación de participantes, facilitadores de EMDR en formación, supervisores de EMDR en formación, formadores de EMDR en formación y desarrollo profesional de los formadores de EMDR ya existentes. Dentro del programa de formación, existen más de 60 participantes de once países diferentes. Este componente del proyecto tan rico en cultura permite aunar recursos personales, creatividad, así como una plétora de experiencias entre los participantes en el proyecto y el equipo a cargo de la formación. El propósito de esta presentación es el de esbozar algunos de los datos de auditoría que se están recabando por parte de los participantes en formación con el trabajo clínico con clientes y dar mayor conocimiento y perspectiva acerca de cómo se está aplicando EMDR con éxito en poblaciones traumatizadas dentro de la región del Mekong.
