Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Within the field of dissociative disorders, EMDR clinicians are advised that there should be significant stabilisation in the preparation phase of the standard protocol. Indeed, where a client has been experiencing depersonalisation and / or derealisation for a significant period of time, there can be elements of heightened risk, such as suicidal intent caused by living in this ‘half-life’ or ‘dream-state’. For these clients, using a float-back technique to introduce body sensation as a mechanism of grounding can be, and is, highly effective in terms of stabilisation. This can enable a swifter progression to a place of stability in order to target the cause of dissociation, where it has been triggered by a natural, protective psychological avoidance to a traumatic event as well as reduce risk of suicide in clients who are experiencing significant distress at being ‘trapped’ in this ‘alternate reality’.

Abstract:
The present study was designed to assess differences in
dissociative symptoms in adults with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) vs. PTSD plus Disorders of Extreme Stress Not Otherwise Specified
(DESNOS). This study was done for two reasons: (1) to better understand
the clinical profile of DESNOS clients in order to inform more
effective treatment, and (2) to further empirical research on the validity
of the DESNOS construct. To assess severity of dissociative symptoms,
the authors administered the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) to
155 participants with PTSD. Using the Structured Interview for Disorders
of Extreme Stress (SIDES), participants were divided into two
groups: those who also met criteria for DESNOS and those who did not.
DES means are provided for the two groups. Participants with PTSD
plus DESNOS scored higher than participants with only PTSD on the
measure of dissociative symptomatology, particularly on the DES scales that tap absorption/fantasy and depersonalization/derealization. The two
groups did not differ on the amnesia subscale of the DES. Findings support
the construct validity of the DESNOS concept and further delineate
the clinical profiles of community-based PTSD with and without DESNOS,
thus contributing to the knowledge base on the assessment of complex
adaptations to trauma. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document

3. Krause, R., Sachsse, S., & Spang, J. (2008, April). Nonverbal behavior in traumatized patient: Comparison between childhood onset versus acutely adult onset trauma. Presentation at the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation First Bi-Annual Conference, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Objective: In the present study we examined the facial affective behavior of acutely adult
onset traumatized patients in comparison to childhood onset traumatized patients.
Furthermore we analyzed as a moderator variables psychic complains, amnesia and
derealization.
Methods: The facial affective behavior was coded with the Emotional Facial Acting Coding
System, an instrument for the registration of facial movements with emotional relevance.
The facial affective behavior of the patient’s first and last EMDR session was videotaped
and compared. The first 5 min of each session were coded by an independent rater
(certified FACS user). The psychic complains were measured with the SCL-90-R
(German version of Symptom Checklist-90-R), amnesia and derealization with the FDS
(German version of the Dissociative Experiences Scale).
Results: Childhood onset and acutely adult onset traumatized patients showed the same
reduction of overall facial activity. We found significantly higher psychic complains (global
severity index) (SCL-90-R) in childhood onset traumatized patients and no difference in
amnesia (FDS) between the two groups. Childhood onset traumatized patients showed
higher values of derealization (FDS).
Conclusions: Acutely adult onset traumatized patients showed the same facial affective
reduction as childhood onset traumatized patients in comparison to a healthy control
group. Additionally childhood onset traumatized patients showed more psychic complains
and derealization.

Abstract:
Ziele: In der vorliegenden Studie untersuchten wir die Gesichts-affektive Verhalten
der akuten Altersdiabetes traumatisierten Patienten versus Kindheit traumatisierten-onset
Patienten. Darüber hinaus untersuchten wir, ob eine Abnahme der emotionalen Betäubung
resultiert aus einer Verringerung der Symptome. Wir verwendeten amnestischen Tendenzen als
Moderator variabel. Methode: Das mimisch affektive Verhalten wurde kodiert mit
Die Emotional Facial Coding System Acting, ein Instrument für die
Erfassung von mimischen mit emotionaler Bedeutung. Der Gesichtsausdruck
affektive Verhalten der Patienten das erste und letzte EMDR-Sitzungen wurde
verglichen. Ergebnisse: Kindheit und akute Verlaufsform Altersdiabetes traumatisiert
Patienten zeigten die gleiche Reduktion der gesamten Gesichts-Aktivität. Wir fanden
signifikant höhere psychische Beschwerden (Global Severity Index) (SCL-90-R)
in der Kindheit einsetzende traumatisierten Patienten und keinen Unterschied in amnestische
Tendenzen (FDS) zwischen den beiden Gruppen. Childhood-onset traumatisiert
Patienten zeigten höhere Werte von Realitätsverlust (FDS). Schlussfolgerungen: Die
mimisches Reduktion bleibt über die Zeit konstant. Auch Kindheit einsetzende
traumatisierten Patienten entwickelten mehr psychische Beschwerden und mehr
derealisat.
Objectives: In the present study we examined the facial affective behaviour
of acute adult-onset traumatized patients versus childhood-onset traumatized
patients. Furthermore, we analyzed whether a decrease in emotional numbing
results from a reduction of symptoms. We used amnestic tendencies as a
moderator variable. Methods: The facial affective behaviour was coded with
the Emotional Facial Acting Coding System, an instrument for the
registration of facial movements with emotional relevance. The facial
affective behaviour of the patient's first and last EMDR sessions was
compared. Results: Childhood-onset and acute adult-onset traumatized
patients showed the same reduction of overall facial activity. We found
significantly higher psychic complaints (global severity index) (SCL-90-R)
in childhood-onset traumatized patients and no difference in amnestic
tendencies (FDS) between the two groups. Childhood-onset traumatized
patients showed higher values of derealisation (FDS). Conclusions: The
facial affective reduction remains constant over time. Also childhood-onset
traumatized patients developed more psychic complaints and greater
derealisat.
