Abstract:
Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Patienten mit PTBS ein spezifisches Interaktionsverhalten in die Beziehung implementieren, das sich im mimisch affektiven Ausdruck und insbesondere im affektiven Mikroverhalten ausdrückt. Das mimisch-affektive Verhalten wurde mit dem Emotional Facial Action Coding System (EMFACS) analysiert. EMFACS ist ein Kodiersystem zur Erfassung von mimischen Expressionen, die den Primäremotionen zugeordnet werden. Zusätzlich wurde das Blickverhalten der Interaktanden kodiert und mit den Emotionen in Beziehung gesetzt. Patienten mit einer akuten Traumatisierung zeigen eine Reduktion der gesamten mimischen Aktivität sowie der Primäremotionen. Bezogen auf das Blickverhalten findet sich bei den PTSD-Patienten ein reduziertes beidseitiges Anblicken. Das mimisch affektive Verhalten der Patienten wurde in der ersten und der letzten EMDR-Sitzung verglichen. Es zeigte sich eine leichte Erhöhung.
It is assumed that patients with mental diseases implement a specific interaction pattern, that is expressed in the facial affective expression and particularly in facial-affective micro-behaviours. The facial affective behaviour was coded with the Emotional Facial Acting Coding System, an instrument for the registration of facial movements with emotional relevance. Afterwards these analyses were connected with gazing behaviour. Patients with an acute trauma showed a reduction of overall facial expressions and a reduced frequency of facial affects. Taking the gazing behaviour into consideration it became obvious that PTSD patients showed decreased portion of mutual gaze. Furthermore the facial affective expression of the patients' first and last EMDR session was compared. A slight increasing of facial affective expression and also an increase of the psychic complains was found. [Author Summary]

Abstract:
Ziele: In der vorliegenden Studie untersuchten wir mimisches Verhalten bei akut traumatisierten Patienten, EMDR-Therapie. Darüber hinaus untersuchten wir, ob eine Abnahme der emotionalen Betäubung wurde aufgrund einer Verringerung der Symptome. Amnestische Tendenzen waren als Moderator-Variable benutzt. Methode: Das mimisch affektive Verhalten wurde kodiert mit dem Emotional Facial Coding System Acting, ein Instrument zur Erfassung von mimischen mit emotionaler Bedeutung. Die Gesichts-affektive Verhalten der Patienten das erste und letzte EMDR-Sitzung wurde verglichen. Ergebnisse: Ein signifikanter Anstieg in Mitten affektive Verhalten sowie eine Zunahme der psychischen Beschwerden gefunden. Darüber hinaus hat die Reduzierung der amnestischen Tendenzen nicht zu einer Verringerung der Symptome führen. Schlussfolgerungen: Unter dem Einfluss der Behandlung ist es möglich, den Zugang zu episodische affektive Gedächtnis zu verbessern. Dennoch kann einen positiven Einfluss nicht am Ende der Behandlung bezeichnet werden.
Objectives: In the present study we examined facial affective behavior in acutely traumatized patients undergoing EMDR therapy. Furthermore, we analyzed Whether a decrease in emotional numbing was due to a reduction of symptoms. Amnestic tendencies were used as a moderator variable. Methods: The facial affective behavior was coded using 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 compared. Results: A significant increase in facial affective behavior as well as an increase in mental complaints were found. Furthermore, the reduction in amnestic tendencies did not result in a reduction of symptoms. Conclusions: Under the influence of the treatment it is possible to improve access to episodic affective memory. Nevertheless, a positive influence can not be denoted at the end of the treatment.

Abstract:
Emotionale Betäubung (EN) in PTSD ist ein Cluster von schwächenden Symptomen mit Problemen in der Erfahrung und dem Ausdruck von Emotionen. EN ist in drei separate diagnostischen Kriterien dargestellt: deutlich vermindertes Interesse an wichtigen Aktivitäten, Gefühle der Ablösung oder Entfremdung von anderen, und eingeschränkte Bandbreite des Affekts. Die funktionale Beziehung zwischen anderen Klassen von PTSD Symptome und EN ist nicht gut verstanden. In diesem Artikel werden verschiedene Studien diskutiert werden. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Patienten mit psychischen Erkrankungen eine spezifische Wechselwirkung Muster implementieren, die in der Gesichts-affektiven Ausdruck und äußerte sich vor allem in Gesichts-affektiven Mikro-Verhalten. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Pilot-Studie war die Analyse von Gesichts-affektive Verhalten von Patienten mit PTSD im Vergleich zu gesunden Personen. Erste Ergebnisse der ersten EMDR-Sitzungen auf Video aufgezeichnet von Patienten und psychodynamischen Interviews von gesunden Personen (keine psychische / psychiatrische Störungen nach ICD-10) wurden mit dem codierten Emotional Facial Coding System Acting, ein Instrument zur Erfassung von mimischen mit emotionaler Bedeutung. Danach wurden diese Analysen mit Blickverhalten verbunden. PTSD Patienten zeigten eine Verringerung der gesamten Mimik und eine verminderte Häufigkeit von Gesichts wirkt im Vergleich zu gesunden Personen. Unter dem Blickverhalten in Betracht, wurde es offensichtlich, dass PTSD Patienten zeigten Anteil sank gegenseitigen Blick im Vergleich zu gesunden Personen. Außerdem war der Gesichtsausdruck affektiven Ausdruck von vier Patienten (Eltern, die durch den gewaltsamen Tod ihrer Kinder beraubt) erste und letzte EMDR-Sitzung verglichen. Eine leichte Erhöhung des Gesichts affektiven Ausdruck gefunden wurde. [Autor Summary)
Emotional numbing (EN) in PTSD is a cluster of debilitating symptoms involving problems in the experience and expression of emotion. EN is represented in three separate diagnostic criteria: markedly diminished interest in significant activities, feelings of detachment or estrangement from others, and restricted range of affect. The functional relationship between other classes of PTSD symptoms and EN is not well understood. In this article different studies will be discussed. It is assumed that patients with mental diseases implement a specific interaction pattern, that is expressed in the facial affective expression and particularly in facial-affective micro-behaviours. The aim of the presented pilot-study was the analysis of facial-affective behaviour of patients with PTSD in comparison to healthy persons. First results of videotaped first EMDR sessions of patients and psychodynamic interviews of healthy persons (absence of mental/psychiatric disorder according to ICD-10) were coded using the Emotional Facial Acting Coding System, an instrument for the registration of facial movements with emotional relevance. Afterwards these analyses were connected with gazing behaviour. PTSD patients showed a reduction of overall facial expressions and a reduced frequency of facial affects in comparison to healthy persons. Taking the gazing behaviour into consideration, it became obvious that PTSD patients showed decreased portion of mutual gaze compared to healthy persons. Furthermore, the facial affective expression of four patients' (parents bereaved by the violent deaths of their children) first and last EMDR session was compared. A slight increasing of facial affective expression was found. [Author Summary]

Abstract:
Een 39-jarige vrouw had een chronische vorm van atypische
aangezichtspijn en klachten behorende bij een posttraumatische
stressstoornis. De pijn was ontstaan na chirurgische verwijdering
van een wortelrest onder een implantaat en haar klachten waren
daarvan een gevolg. Uiteindelijk had deze problematiek geleid tot
ontslag door haar werkgever en problemen in het gezin. Een periodiek
mondonderzoek door haar huistandarts was vanwege extreme
angst onmogelijk. Medicamenteuze behandeling, accupunctuur,
homeopathie en hypnotherapie hadden geen verbetering gegeven.
Behandeling met een aanpak gericht op de verwerking van
herinneringen aan tandheelkundige behandelingen door middel
van ‘eye movement desensitization and reprocessing’ leidde uiteindelijk
tot vermindering van klachten. Deze casus maakt duidelijk
hoezeer dit type orale problematiek het dagelijks leven van
patiënten kan ontwrichten en hoe psychotherapie een aanvulling
op de orale of medicamenteuze behandeling kan zijn.
A 39-year-old woman suffered from chronic atypical facial pain and complaints associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The pain originated from the surgical removal of a residual tooth root under an oral implant and the stress symptoms were the consequences of the pain. Eventually, these problems had led to dismissal from work and family problems. She was unable to attend her dentist for a periodic oral survey due to extreme fear. Pharmacologic treatment, acupuncture, homeopathy and hypnotherapy had not improved her condition. Treatment aimed at coping with the memories of the oral treatment using 'eye movement desensitization and reprocessing' ultimately led to decline of complaints. This case report demonstrates that an oral problem may disrupt a patient's life and how psychotherapy can complete medical treatment.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The fictional world imaginatively constituted during literary reading is sometimes compared with
the imaginal world created during dreaming. At the core of both reading and dreaming may be the
type of attentional adjustment that occurs when departures from expected events emerge in
experience. During dreaming, markers of this attentional adjustment – and of the related
transformations of dream content – are the eye movements characteristic of REM sleep. Recent
research suggests that eye movements induced during wakefulness similarly prompt dreamlike
transformations of imaginal activity. Therefore, we hypothesized that, during reading, induced eye
movements would facilitate defamiliarization in response to the deviations from literal meanings
found in metaphoric expressions. To test this hypothesis, twenty-five undergraduates completed 20
seconds of eye movements or 20 seconds of visual fixation before each of two tasks: (a) a covert visual
attention task (Posner & Cohen, 1984), in which a cue indicated the likely position of a subsequent
target, and (b) a sentence rating task, in which sentences with either metaphoric or non-metaphoric
endings were rated for strikingness. Repeated measures ANOVAs indicated that the eye movement
manipulation facilitated attentional adjustments to targets presented in invalidly cued locations and
increased the extent to which metaphoric sentence endings were found striking. These results suggest
that induced eye movements facilitate attentional reorientation toward the novel meanings found in
metaphoric expressions, providing evidence that dreaming and reading involve a similarly
“defamiliarizing” attentional adjustment.

Abstract:
Hay expresiones que cambian la historia de nuestra profesión. "Inconsciente" "doble vínculo", "indefensión aprendida", "homeostasis familiar" o "burn out" para no poner más que unos pocos ejemplos y pidiendo perdón a tantos otros. Cambian la historia de las ideas, suele decirse, basándose quizás en la ilusión de que las ideas son entelequies que flotan en el cosmos. Sin embargo es mucho más. Cuando nace una verdadera idea ya ha cambiado o está a punto de cambiar una determinada práctica social, que entonces provoca más cambios en un determinado contexto (un "discurso" vaya, ya puestos...). La palabra "autoestima", por ejemplo, surgida hace unos años se ha ido extendiendo y dejando su huella como una marca de origen en muchas expresiones alusivas a estados de ánimo hasta convertirse en moneda de cambio. Tener la autoestima "baja" o "alta", o "veo que no tienes ningún problema de autoestima" son enunciados que se ha convertido en una "seña de identidad". Feliz expresión esta última! Todos la usamos sin la menor obligación de haber leído la novela de Juan Goytisolo que la acuñó, ni tan solo la necesidad de saber que era el título.
There are expressions that change the history of our profession. "Unconscious" double bind ","learned helplessness"," family homeostasis "or" burn out "for not putting more than a few examples and asking forgiveness as many others. Change the history of ideas, they say, perhaps based on the illusion that ideas are pipe dreams floating in the cosmos. However it is much more. Birth of a true idea has changed or is about to change a particular social practice, which then causes more changes in a particular context (a "speech" will, for that matter ...). The word "esteem"for example, born a few years ago has spread and leaving his mark as a mark of origin in many expressions suggestive of moods to become currency. Having self-esteem "low" or "high" or "I see you have no self-esteem problem" are statements that has become a "hallmark. " Happy latter expression! All we use it without any obligation to have read the novel by Juan Goytisolo who coined it, not even the need to know which was the title.

Abstract:
La présentation comporte trois volets. Le premier volet présente le fondement neurologique de l’EMDR qui est centré sur les réseaux neuronaux de la mémoire - ce qui permet une compréhension nouvelle des phénomènes dissociatifs et qui fait ressortir le potentiel du traitement en EMDR. Le deuxième volet aborde les applications de ce cadre théorique à l’ensemble des manifestations pathologiques : traumatismes simples et
complexes, intoxications psychiques, épisodes psychotiques brefs et même certains cas de début de schizophrénie. Le troisième volet démontre à quel point l’EMDR bouleverse notre compréhension de la pathologie et de son traitement et de ce fait, constitue un véritable changement de paradigme thérapeutique. Cette compréhension nouvelle des phénomènes neuropsychologiques sous-jacents, telle que soulevée par l’EMDR, permet de distinguer ce qui est utile de ce qui ne l’est pas dans la plupart des psychothérapies.
This opening workshop will focus on three axes :
1) The neurological basis of EMDR that focuses on the memory’s neural networks – which in turn allow a fresh understanding of dissociative phenomena and shows the potential of EMDR treatment.
2) The application of this theoretical understanding to the various expressions of psychopathology: simple versus complex PTSD – psychic poisoning – brief psychotic episodes- even certain cases of early schizophrenia.
3) As a conclusion, how EMDR shook up our understanding of pathology and its treatment, and how it provided the impetus toward a genuine paradigm shift. This new understanding of the underlying psychoneurologic phenomena brought on by EMDR helps us to determine what may be useful or not in the various psychotherapies.

Abstract:
Aim: This presentation will describe the integration of principles of emotion regulation into EMDR therapy for a range of disorders. Population: All ages; mostly Axis I and II disorders. Learning objectives: 1) to describe the development of emotion regulation beginning in the context of the attachment and continuing through adolescence; 2) to describe the origin of emotion dysregulation and psychopathology in deficit experience adversity, and trauma; 3) to describe a protocol, Affect Management Skills Training (AMST), that remediates failures of emotion regulation; 4) to describe how AMST prepares the client for uncovering therapy by providing for containment, safety, emotion regulation, improved left-right hemisphere integration, and remediation of attachment deficits; 5) to describe integration of MAST into EMDR therapies for substance abuse and eating disorders. Abstract: The workshop will summarize the principal affective developments that occur from birth through age four. These include fulfillment of yearning affect, facial imprinting, gaze transaction, stimulation of positive affect, and provision of optimal disapproval-shame experiences. The qualities of the child of “good enough” parenting are described. Developmental failures and their consequences for affect regulation and psychopathology will be described. These include: (1) avoidant attachment leading to problems of anger management, to depression, and development of narcissistic features; (2) anxious-ambivalent attachment leading to development of anxiety-related disorders and borderline features; (3) failure to elicit optimal positive affects leading to impaired vitality across the life span and depression; (4) socialization of the senior toddler with anger, leading to problems with anger expression, or with disgust, leading to problems with shame, impaired self-worth, and defective self-efficacy. Adversity (raised by a single parent, witness to spousal abuse, divorce, substance abuse in the home) and trauma (psychological, physical, and/or sexual abuse) occurring during latency and adolescence will be shown to exacerbate difficulties with emotional regulation.
The seven basic skills of the AMST protocol will be described. These skills provide for regocnition, tolerance, and regulation of both positive and negative emtoins. They include containment, safe place, sensation-affect recognition, sensation-as-signal, grounded and present, noticing, and regulation.
The workshop will describe how AMST prepares the client for uncovering therapy and for EMDR by teaching the client to regulate emotion prior to it elicitation in therapy, by improving hemispheric integration, and by correcting deficits in the attachment.
The workshop concludes by describing how MAST is integrated into EMDR therapy for substance abuse disorders (alcohol, drugs, nicotine) and eating disorders.

Abstract:
When reviewing past and current research on the role of emotion in couples therapy, there appeared to be a lack of articulation concerning how emotional expressions and relational dynamics are affected by emotional trauma that has not been accessed. The authors demonstrate how emotionally and experientially oriented therapy with couples can be enhanced by accessing stored trauma through the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This approach is called Eye Movement Relationship Enhancement (EMRE) therapy and includes key clinical areas such as accessing and tolerating previously disowned emotion, reprocessing emotional experiences, and amplifying couple intimacy. These key areas are discussed and illustrated with case examples. [Springer]

Abstract:
Efficacy of EMDR on Children Affected by Earthquake: The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy of EMDR as an
intervention technique for trauma victims. A sample of 50 students, studying in 10th grade, age ranging from 14 to 16 years
were selected. The Impact of Event Scale (IES) was administered to measure the intensity of trauma experienced. A pre-post
test research design was used in the study. The results were in the predicted direction. EMDR was found to be effective in
reducing avoidance, intrusion and hyper arousal as well as overall impact of trauma.
“Group EMDR With Earthquake Survivors”
The current study is an attempt to understand the impact of a specific traumatic events and its expression in children i.e. the
earthquake that occurred in Gujarat, Western India in January 2001.
This study was a part of the therapy work conducted with the survivors of the earthquake by the group of 40 practitioners
from Mumbai and was over 4 months.
The paper will present the following aspects:
1. The symptoms seen among the children depicting PTSD as per DSM IV criteria. Signs of Hyper-arousal, Avoidance and
Intrusion were clearly seen especially in children
2. The process used. This was a modified version of the standard 8 phase protocol appropriate for use with group work.
Butterfly hugs were used as BLS. Stages of EMDR for this group:
3. Observations and a few unique experiences
These include blocking of trauma image, difficulty in safe place visualizing, difficulty in distancing and using creative
techniques for soothing and relaxation.
4. Impact of the EMDR intervention with this group
More than 16000 children from about 30 schools were seen. based on observations and reports by teachers during the
follow up showed reduction in anxiety, reports of life resembling pre-earthquake, improved attention and concentration,
better sleeping patterns and lowering of somatic complaints.
Impact and expression of trauma in children exposed to the earthquake: The current study is an attempt to understand
the impact of a specific traumatic event and its expression in children i.e. the earthquake that occurred in Gujarat, western
India in January 2001. The Butterfly hug technique for bilateral stimulation was used following 8 steps of EMDR. Drawings
of children were used as their expressions during different phases of EMDR. Drawings during “ Assessment phase” depicted
feelings of insecurity, a sense of vacuum and emptiness, low energy levels, a desire for contact and help, feelings of guilt, poor
body image, hypersensitivity was noticed almost universally and even during therapy. Drawings, following the processing
and installation phases indicated the facial expression changed to a smile. Tears which were present in almost all drawings
were not noted Positive cognitions were reflected in terms of the growth and freshness e.g. the newly growing grass. In spite
of the various symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, no gross disintegration of personality had been noted.

Abstract:
Body Dysmorphic Disorder presents a preoccupation with imagined ugliness, typically
involving facial flaws, such as spots or wrinkles, or the shape of the face, nose, mouth or jaw.
More rarely the complain involves the appearance of the feet, hands, breasts or genitalia. It is
frequently chronic and may lead to marked disruption of the patients social, marital and
occupational life (Phillips, 1991).
The disorder is fairly unremitting with few symptom-free periods, although the body part
focused upon may change over time. It is generally regarded as a condition that is difficult to
treat (Phillips, 1991). A variety of cognitive and behavioural techniques have been described
to have some effect but all tend to be lengthy. To the author's knowledge here are no reports
on the use of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) in its treatment.
Here we describe our use of EMDR in fourteen consecutive patients with body dysmorphic
disorder. Outcome data is presented.
The treatment time is much less than the combination of treatment and homework used in
imaginal exposure (Vaughan et al, 1994). Such homework was not given to our patients.
Furthermore, as EMD leads to involuntary changing images throughout a session, the
exposure element is further reduced. In contrast to exposure, EMDR does not involve
exacerbating or increasing the patients level of anxiety and, whilst patients experience a rapid
positive shift in cognitions during EMDR, this has not been found in treatments with
exposure only (Kilpatrick, Veronen & Resnick, 1982).

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.

A autora apresenta um protocolo de atendimento de um homem de 57 anos, Educador, Phd, que apresentava Timidez, dificuldade em se comunicar, e uma série de sintomas físicos: tremor nas mãos, ruborização, pequenos espasmos faciais, travamento na mandíbula e graves problemas cervicais. A metodologia utilizada foi exclusivamente EMDR. Os atendimentos ocorreram dentro de um período de uma semana, totalizando aproximadamente doze horas de atendimento. Neste período tivemos como resultado a cura dos sintomas físicos e diminuição significativa da Timidez. O objetivo deste trabalho é compartilhar essa experiência e ratificar o alcance e a capacidade desta metodologia psicoterapêutica, quebrando antigos paradigmas e crenças sobre psicoterapia. Ao término desta apresentação o participante será capaz de reconhecer a importância do método, a eficácia e a rapidez no tratamento de pessoas com distúrbios de ansiedade, ter mais uma referência de utilização do EMDR para aplicar em seus pacientes, bem como redimensionar seus limites e possibilidades terapêuticas.
The author presents a protocol of care for a man of 57 years, Educator, PhD, who presented Shyness, difficulty communicating, and a host of physical symptoms: trembling hands, flushing, small facial spasms, lock jaw and serious problems neck. The methodology used was exclusively EMDR. The visits occurred within a period of a week, totaling approximately twelve hours of care. In this period we have had as a result the healing of physical symptoms and significant decrease of Shyness. The objective of this work is to share this experience and ratify the scope and capacity of this psychotherapeutic methodology, breaking old paradigms and beliefs about psychotherapy. Upon completion of this presentation the participant will be able to recognize the importance of the method, the effectiveness and timeliness in treating people with anxiety disorders, have more of a reference using EMDR to apply for their patients, as well as resize your limits and therapeutic possibilities.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Dr. Schore will discuss current models of the neurobiology of attachment, detailing the enduring positive and negative impact of interactively regulated and dysregulated bodily-based affective transactions on the organization of the infant’s developing right brain, which for the rest of the life span is dominant for the nonconscious processing of emotions, stress regulation, and intersubjectivity. Dr. Schore will then describe the negative impact of relational trauma on the developmental trajectory of the right brain and the origins of pathological dissociation. Applying the developmental model to the change process of psychotherapy, he will then describe the critical role of the right brain in implicit facial, gestural, and prosodic communications within the therapeutic alliance, in dysregulated states of affective hyper- and hypoarousal, and in empathy, transference-countertransference, and affect regulation. This work suggests that interactive regulation within the therapeutic alliance is a central mechanism in the treatment of patients with a history of early relational trauma.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The Polyvagal Theory is an innovative theory that links the evolution of the autonomic nervous system to affective experience, emotional expression, facial gestures, vocal communication and contingent social behavior. The theory describes how, via evolution, a connection emerged in the brain between the nerves that control the heart and the face. The workshop has three objectives: 1) to provide an explicit statement of the theory, 2) to illustrate how a Polyvagal perspective provides insights into the clinical assessment and treatment of several clinical conditions, and 3) to describe a face-heart connection that defines a social engagement system that links our bodily feelings with facial expression, vocal intonation, and gesture.

Abstract:
For person-centered psychotherapy and counseling to be scientifically acknowledged and accepted by public health services, the following are required: (a) more empirical research on the effectiveness of person-centered therapy for different diagnostic categories (ICD-10) and counseling modes (group, family, health-related counseling); (b) incorporation of alternative interventions to increase the effectiveness of short-term person-centered psychotherapy consistent with the approach and the client-centered behavior of the therapist, such as having patients choose their therapists, providing written information on stress reduction and self-help, teaching daily relaxation exercises, using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with minor anxiety, and suggesting homework assignments; (c) improvement of the therapist-patient relationship via regular written feedback from the patient for the therapist, reflections that incorporate cognitions and emotions in proportion to clients' expressions, and active, intensive (non-directive) efforts by the therapist to improve the therapeutic relationship; and (d) promotion of person-centered behaviors by people in daily situations and relationships outside the therapeutic setting (e.g., teachers, parents, partners).

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Burn injury is often a devastating event with long-term physical and psychosocial effects. Burn scars after deep dermal injury are cosmetically disfiguring and force the scarred person to deal with an alteration in body appearance. In addition, the traumatic nature of the burn accident and the painful treatment may induce psychopathological responses. Depression and PTSD, which are prevalent in 13-23% and 13-45% of cases, respectively, have been the most common areas of research in burn patients. Risk factors related to depression are pre-burn depression and female gender in combination with facial disfigurement. Risk factors related to PTSD are pre-burn depression, type and severity of baseline symptoms, anxiety related to pain, and visibility of burn injury. Neuropsychological problems are also described, mostly associated with electrical injuries. Social problems include difficulties in sexual life and social interactions. Quality of life initially seems to be lower in burn patients compared with the general population. Problems in the mental area are more troublesome than physical problems. Over a period of many years, quality of life was reported to be rather good. Mediating variables such as low social support, emotion and avoidant coping styles, and personality traits such as neuroticism and low extraversion, negatively affect adjustment after burn injury. Few studies of psychological treatments in burn patients are available. From general trauma literature, it is concluded that cognitive (behavioral) and pharmacological (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) interventions have a positive effect on depression. With respect to PTSD, exposure therapy and eye movement reprocessing and desensitization [EMDR] are successful. Psychological debriefing aiming to prevent chronic post-trauma reactions has not, thus far, shown a positive effect in burn patients. Treatment of problems in the social area includes cognitive-behavioral therapy, social skills training, and community interventions. Sexual health promotion and counseling may decrease problems in sexual life. In conclusion, psychopathology and psychological problems are identified in a significant minority of burn patients. Symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders (of which PTSD is one) should be the subject of screening in the post-burn phase and treated if indicated. A profile of the patient at risk, based on pre-injury factors such as pre-morbid psychiatric disorder and personality characteristics, peri-traumatic factors and post-burn factors, is presented. Finally, objective characteristics of disfigurement appear to play a minor role, although other factors, such as proneness to shame, body image problems, and lack of self-esteem, may be of significance.

Abstract:
Porges’
polyvagal
theory
provides
a
plausible
explanation
for
the
covariation
between
psychiatric
and
behavioral
disorders
and
the
atypical
regulation
of
the
Autonomic
Nervous
System
(ANS).
Porges
himself
associated
this
phenomenon
with
the
failed
maturation
of
the
ventrovagal
circuit,
as
well
as
with
the
child’s
failure
to
learn
the
ability
to
modulate
the
so-‐called
“vagal
break”
which
keeps
the
heart-‐rate
low
and
inhibits
the
influence
of
the
SNS,
allowing
the
modulation
of
the
facial
and
head
muscles
and,
therefore,
the
social
engagement
function,
often
impaired
in
psychiatric
pathologies.
From
a
psychotherapy
standpoint,
Porges’
finding
that
the
maturation
of
the
ventrovagal
circuit
and
of
its
associated
braking
function
occurs
ontogenetically
later
than
that
of
other
ANS
branches
(last
months
of
pregnancy
and
first
year
of
life)
and
that
a
good
relation
with
the
caregiver
is
essential
for
its
development
is
of
significant
importance.
In
this
dyad
–
with
the
cortical-‐bulbar
pathway,
sufficiently
myelinated
at
birth,
regulating
face
and
head
muscles
and
allowing
signals
exchange
with
the
caregiver
–
children
learn
to
confront
their
internal
states
and
the
environment
as
well
as
regulate
their
emotions,
regulating
an
adaptive
neuroception
with
the
consequent
possibility
of
a
good
social
involvement.

in
terms
of

and

for
the

of
biologically
based
behaviors
common
to
all
human
beings,
paves
the
way,
as
anticipated
by
Porges
himself,
for
new
possible
intervention
models
in
psychotherapy
directly
acting
on
the
missed
or
impaired
steps
in
this
first
phase
of
the
psycho-‐physiological
development
process,
without
disregarding
its
psychobiological
quality.
Clinical
Application
Since
I
believe
that
the
inter-‐brain
perspective
is
the
most
efficient
not
only
for
the
etiological
explanation
but
especially
for
the
restoration
of
relational
impairments
occurred
during
brain-‐brain
interactions,
I
chose
eye
contact
(EC),
because,
according
to
several
scholars,
it
is
a
privileged
communication
channel,
in
particular
between
mother
and
child.
Several
scholars
agree
that
all
forms
of
psychopathology
share
a
failure
in
emotional
regulation,
which
can
be
mostly
traced
back
to
the
failure
in
the
child-‐
caregiver
adaptive
tuning
and
therefore
to
the
impairment
of
their
inter-‐brain
communication.
An
intervention
on
the
EC
shifts
the
therapy
focus
on
this
dysregulation
to
restore
its
functions.
The
EMDR
AIP
approach
relies
on
the
brain
adaptive
processing
ability.
EMDR
has
proved,
in
appropriate
conditions
(good
therapeutic
alliance,
client
stabilization,
compliance
with
the
EMDR
protocol),
our
brain
can
repair
traumatic
injuries,
i.e.,
reacquire
and
use
information
dysfunctionally
stored
after
a
trauma.
Successful
use
of
EMDR
on
target
not
directly
traceable
to
a
traumatic
event
(e.g.,
defenses,
chronic
pain,
etc.)
allows
for
the
possibility
to
use
this
processing
tool
in
increasingly
broad
fields
and
refines
its
resources.
Thanks
to
its
three-‐pronged
approach
to
dysfunctionally
stored
information
in
the
brain
(EMDR
works
on
the
cognitive,
emotional
and
somatic
level),
the
inter-‐brain
quality
of
its
scope
(the
therapeutic
alliance
is
part
of
the
healing
process)
and
for
its
focus
on
the
present
(EMDR
works
on
the
present,
i.e.,
on
the
current
and
active
components
of
the
pathogenetic
memory,
bypassing
all
mediations
and
interpretation),
EMDR
seemed
the
most
appropriate
therapeutic
tool
to
intervene
on
the
EC
dysregulation
found
in
several
psychiatric
pathologies.
Conclusion
An
EMDR
protocol
for
the
exploration
and
modulation
of
the
EC
is
proposed.
This
protocol
proved
particularly
useful
with
depressed
or
severely
dissociative
clients.
After
making
clients
aware
of
their
difficulty
in
maintaining
the
EC,
they
are
retrained
to
use
this
contact
first
on
objects,
then
on
animals
(excellent
mediators
of
a
primitive
form
of
social
contact)
until
they
are
able
to
achieve
eye
contact
with
the
therapist.
During
this
training,
clients
are
encouraged
to
become
aware
of
their
body
sensations,
emotions
and
beliefs,
and
the
positive
ones
are
installed
with
BLS.
Memories
of
relational
situations
where
clients
identify
an
impaired
EC
are
identified
and
these
are
targeted
with
the
standard
protocol.
The
focus
then
shifts
to
present
and
future
situations.
The
regulation
purpose
of
this
protocol
affects
the
application
mode:
interventions
must
never
be
dysregulating,
therapists
must
proceed
slowly.
Clients
must
be
rigorously
kept
within
their
window
of
tolerance,
must
be
trained
to
recognize
it
and
able
of
staying
within
its
boundaries
with
respect
to
the
microregulation
of
the
EC.

Abstract:
Porges’ polivagal theory of the hierarchical interpretation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), in addition to extending the range of human beings’ possible responses to environmental demands, links the first line ventral-vagal response with the regulation of important viscera as well as that of facial and head muscles, mediating social interactions, and associates its activation with the feeling of safety, identifying this latter condition as essential for a person’s well-being.
Without safety no social relations, physiological regulation or healing are possible. Hence the importance for EMDR therapists to lead their clients to this condition: lacking the activation of the ventral-vagal circuit there can be no processing. EMDR therapists will be provided with tools to keep their clients in safe conditions within the setting.
Clients exposed to trauma and/or insecure attachment do not have a good ANS regulation and maintain inadequate defensive attitudes – as demonstrated by Porges’ results, easily comparable with Schore’s on affective development and with those of several multi-disciplinary scholars.
Exploring this dysfunction provides EMDR therapists with useful elements to guide their clients in the difficult task of confronting what they did not/could not process at that time. We propose a three-pronged cross-sectional assessment, regardless of the pathology, aimed at identifying the defensive arousal state of the ANS needed to face the dysregulating impact at that time, focusing on the prevalent activation style of the client, when meeting environmental challenges, and that emerging in the session. Starting from this assessment, EMDR therapists will be provided with tools to help clients recognize and master their defenses to increase their flexibility.
Using the regulation as a healing instrument and goal, and given the two-directional psychophysiological approach, where psychological and physiological processes meet, a new intervention model, stemming from the AIP-EMDR approach, is proposed, acting directly on the missing or impaired developmental stages of the self-regulation ability, consistently with what Porges hoped for.
The intervention focuses on Eye Contact (EC), because, as confirmed by several scholars, this is a privileged communication pathway, in particular in the mother-child dyad, to learn self-regulating skills and is easily impaired in psychiatric clients.
Learning objectives:
Raise EMDR therapists’ awareness of the importance of safety for their clients, based on Porges’ Polyvagal Theory;
Provide therapists with tools to maintain clients’ safety during the session;
Help EMDR therapist to recognize and modulate clients’ Autonomic Nervous System activation; and
Present an EMDR Protocol to regulate Eye Contact

Language: French
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Ce qui suit est une procédure expérimentale proposée comme traitement préliminaire pour les patients souffrant de migraines chroniques qui nécessitent de repos total, le retrait de tous active sociale et professionnelle et qui doivent être traités par des médicaments. Cette procédure utilise l'EMDR, l'hypnose et la relaxation et est destiné aux patients souffrant de douleur chronique (symptômes connus et traités depuis cinq à 10 ans).
Les trois composantes de la migraine sont les suivants: MENTALE - expressions de l'impuissance, la solitude, le rejet, l'épuisement physique et psychique, perte de contrôle; émotionnel - la dépression, la colère, la peur, et physique - les sensations physiques, dans des séquences fluctuant évalué entre 6 et 10 sur le échelle de la douleur.
La durée moyenne de ce traitement est de 4 mois pour 6 consultations.
L'objectif du traitement est de rétablir la confiance du patient par l'amélioration physique et bien-être psychologique.
Le principe cliniques: Le patient
douloureux chronique alterne entre le désespoir, la peur de ne jamais trouver un remède (un état mental qui peut être provoquée par l'entourage familial et médical), de la colère contre une histoire personnelle qui peut être amené le syndrome douloureux ( maltraitance parentale ou de l'absence, accident, intervention chirurgicale), l'épuisement physique et l'espoir qu'il ya encore la possibilité d'une guérison. Il est donc important de transmettre un message d'espoir et de la vision d'un traitement qui implique les patients avec son physique, émotionnelle, les ressources psychiques. Explication de la souffrance comme une accumulation de facteurs de stress et le cerveau comme ayant la possibilité de solution, il est proposé au patient de se concentrer sur cette partie du corps qui «parle» dans le phénomène de la douleur. Le patient entend »ou« sent »le mouvement alternatif du Tac / machine Audioscan (Neurotek) tout en étant assuré de la physique et bien-être psychique au cours du traitement.
Le principe neuropsychologiques:
Le patient se concentrer sur la "douloureuse" zone associés sensorielle, psychique souvenirs conscients et inconscients; ces souvenirs traités progressivement par le mouvement de la Tac / machine Audioscan qui fonctionne comme un balayage interne pour éliminer les tensions et à intégrer mental, émotionnel, physique et informations par les chaînes successives.
The following is an experimental procedure proposed as preliminary treatment for patients suffering from chronic migraines which require total rest, withdrawal from all social and professional activates and which must be treated by medication. This procedure used the EMDR, hypnosis and relaxation and is intended for patients suffering from chronic pain (symptoms known and treated since five to 10 years).
The three components of the migraines are: MENTAL – expressions of impotence, loneliness, rejection, physical and psychic exhaustion, loss of control; EMOTIONAL – depression, anger, fear; and PHYSICAL – physical feelings in fluctuating sequences evaluated between 6 and 10 on the pain scale.
The average duration for this treatment is 4 months for 6 consultations.
The objective of the treatment is to restore the patient’s confidence by improving physical and psychological well-being.
The clinical principle:
The chronic painful patient alternates between despair, fear of never finding a cure (a mental state which may be provoked by the family and medical entourage), anger against a personal history which may have cause the painful syndrome (parental maltreatment or absence, accident, surgical operation), physical exhaustion and hope that there is still the possibility for a cure. It is therefore important to transmit a message of hope and the vision of a treatment which involves the patients with his physical, emotional, psychic resources. Explaining the suffering as an accumulation of stressful factors and the brain as having the possibility of solution, it is proposed to the patient to concentrate on that part of the body which 'speaks’ in the phenomenon of pain. The patient ‘hears’ or ‘feels’ the alternative movement of the Tac/Audioscan machine (Neurotek) while being assured of the physical and psychic well-being during the treatment.
The neuropsychological principle:
The patient’s concentration on the “painful zone” associates sensory, psychic conscious and unconscious memories; these memories treated progressively by the movement of the Tac/Audioscan machine which operates like an internal sweeping to eliminate tensions and to integrate mental, emotional, and physical information by successive channels.

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.
