Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In Pakistan where PTSD is assuming an epidemic nature due to prevalent circumstances, accompanied by a dearth of
psychiatrists and non affordability, treatment option like EMDR is promising. We expect a lot to achieve. The purpose of
launching EMDR Pakistan is to:
• Establish, maintain and promote the highest standards of excellence and integrity in EMDR practice, research and
education throughout Pakistan.
• Promote the development and spread of EMDR throughout Pakistan in order to stimulate and foster international
understanding of the potential of EMDR to diminish human suffering from past trauma, and to interrupt the cycle of
distress and violence by which new trauma is created.
• To arrange for trainings to qualify psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychologists and social workers as new facilitators and trainers in Pakistan with international recognition.
• To maintain a register of qualified EMDR clinicians, consultants, facilitators and trainers within Pakistan.
Hence this is a first step towards a journey of thousand leagues.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
This research project sought to investigate if EMDR therapists observed their clients reporting transpersonal/spiritual experiences during or following EMDR. In addition, it sought to identify and explore the client and therapist factors that may influence the frequency with which these experiences are observed. One hundred sixty-nine questionnaires were mailed to EMDR facilitators throughout the United States and 50 were returned with usable data. Quantitative statistical analyses were performed on much of the questionnaire data and several significant associations and differences were found (p < .05). However, these significant associations and differences did not lead to more global statements regarding the factors that were analyzed. Interviews were conducted with 11 of the respondents in an attempt to shed light on these research questions. The results indicate that a number of EMDR therapists are observing their clients reporting transpersonal/spiritual experiences during or following EMDR. Several potentially important client and therapist factors were noted that may be influencing factors in therapists observing their clients reporting these experiences.

Abstract:
The Sri Lankan society is hugely affected by combat related stress as a result of the 30 year armed conflict. Combatants as well as a large number of civilians including members of the LTTE have undergone a tremendous amount of war related stress for the last 3 decades. There had been large military operations where the combatants were directly exposed to hostile battle conditions. Following these traumatic combat events a considerable number of soldiers became psychologically wounded. Deplorably Psychological wounds of the Eelam war were not addressed appropriately. As a result of the armed conflict in Sri Lanka a callous wave of PTSD, Depression, Somatization, and Adjustment Disorders etc has been generated. Many cases are not yet diagnosed entirely and following the late reactions of combat trauma the numbers would be high. To heal the war trauma in Sri Lanka an effective psychotherapeutic method was needed. In 2005 the EMDR HAP trained Sri Lankan mental health clinicians to use EMDR to deal with psychological trauma. EMDR was effectively used to treat Sri Lankan combatants. Many of the EMDR sessions were conducted under the supervision of the EMDR HAP facilitators. Following these treatment the Sri Lankan combatants with PTSD and Depression showed positive therapeutic outcome. Their psychological distress reduced significantly. This article reveals the efficacy of EMDR in the treatment of four combatants with PTSD and two with Depressive Disorder. After 5 to 8 sessions of EMDR most of the veterans became free of their disturbing symptoms and today living productive lives.

Language: English
Format: Book Section
Abstract:
The Imma Group Protocol is based on the Integrative Group Treatment Protocol (IGTP) by Jarero, Artigas, Alcala, and Lopez Cano (see record 2009-08399-029), the Four Elements Exercise by Elan Shapiro (see record 2009-08399-009), and the principles of group therapy work. This protocol is designed for small groups of children from the age of 5 upward. The language can, of course, be adjusted to suit the developmental level of the group. The protocol is to be used only by EMDR-trained therapists. The therapist must have the ability to react on the spot, evaluate, and provide further treatment for clients who are overwhelmed by the traumatic material. We recommend that work with this protocol include at least two group facilitators, in addition to the leader, in order to monitor the group and help the children carry out the instructions. The younger the children, the more facilitators are needed to insure that each child feels safe and emotionally supported. The appropriate scripts are provided. [PsycINFO Database]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Making EMDR User Friendly For Asians:
1. Training Asians in EMDR
• Issues of confidentiality
• Fears of being judged by colleagues
• School systems in Asia being shame based
• Shame in speaking about personal issues
• Poor knowledge of own emotions
• Issues of fate and karma
• Need for Asian facilitators to be assertive with authority figures
• Hesitancy of Asian trainees to ask questions
• Western facilitators receive more compliance but need for Asian facilitators
• Need for translated material to be in colloquial language
• Need for Asian vignettes.
2. Practicing EMDR by Asian practitioners and for Asian clients:
• Problems with extremes – SUD’s and VOC,
• Clients struggle with emphasis on individual not family,
• Loss of face for practitioner to use manual,
• Most Asian clients have poor imaginative or visualization skills,
• Physical sensations are more available than emotions,
• Lack of anger at abusive family members and authority figures,
• Issues of ghosts and superstitions.
3. Supervision of Asian EMD, • Provide supervisees of own mistakes,
• Providing supervision in countries where there are no consultants or facilitators,
• Can provide Western supervisors-but best might be co-leading supervision with a local practitioner.
My material for this presentation has been developed over 13 years of using EMDR with Asian clients and from 10 years of
providing facilitation and supervision for EMDR trainees. Also my many years in Asia, speaking the languages and having
been partly raised by Chinese nannies, have given me an understanding of Asian values, family organization and taboos. I
would like this workshop to provide a springboard for discussions with the attendees in collecting other ides for making EMDR Asian friendly.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In March 2007 an EMDR Europe HAP project, in conjunction with the University of
Birmingham, commenced in Northern Pakistan in the aftermath of the earthquake that
occurred in the region October 2005.
Presently over 75 mental health workers have now been trained in EMDR. In August 2009
six of these Pakistani mental health workers had successfully completed their EMDR
Facilitator training. As a means of evaluating their EMDR training a Q Methodology was
utilised.
Q-Methodology allows a researcher to explore a complex phenomena from a subject´s
point of view by using a distinct approach which rates the value of 25 statements in order
from least to most desirable. These statements related to EMDR clinical practice, cultural
application of EMDR, EMDR research development, and their experiences of their EMDR
training.
Results highlighted important issues around their training experience, how cultural
sensitivities play an important part in the application of EMDR in Pakistan, and how the
EMDR trainings can be adapted and improved for the future.

Abstract:
In March 2007 an EMDR Europe HAP project, in conjunction with the University of Birmingham & Edge Hill University,
commenced in Northern Pakistan in the aftermath of the earthquake. Presently over 75 mental health workers have now
been trained in EMDR. In August 2009 six of these Pakistani mental health workers had successfully completed their EMDR
Facilitator training. As a means of evaluating their EMDR training a Q Methodology was utilised. Q methodology provides
a foundation for the systematic study of subjectivity, a person’s viewpoint, opinion, beliefs, and attitudes (Brown 1993). It is
an inverted form of factor analysis which then considers discourse patterns. Typically, in a Q methodological study people
are presented with a sample of statements about a topic called the Q-set. By Q sorting research participants give their
subjective meaning to the statements, and by doing so reveal their subjective viewpoint (Smith 2001) or personal profile
(Brouwer 1999). These individual rankings (or viewpoints) are then subjected to factor analysis to determine factor solution
and interpretation. Results highlighted important issues around the facilitators training experience, how cultural sensitivities
play an important part in the application of EMDR in Pakistan, and considered how EMDR trainings can be adapted and improved for the future.

Abstract:
Mental health professionals have been trained in using EMDR with trauma victims throughout the world. However, the EMDR-Humanitarian Assistance Program (EMDR-HAP) was formed in 1995 as a nonprofit organization to provide assistance and training to local mental health professionals/psychotherapists within the United States and internationally who are managing the nearly overwhelming task of providing psychotherapy to the victims of large scale traumatic events. This includes natural disasters, e.g.: earthquakes, floods, firestorms, hurricanes; military personnel and civilians in war zones; victims of large scale accidents, e.g.: the family members of the victims of TWA flight #800; and victims of sexual assault and terrorist acts, e.g.: the Oklahoma City bombing. The EMDR-HAP personnel have been trainers and group facilitators from the EMDR Institute who have volunteered their time and expertise to provide treatment and to train local mental health professionals in EMDR.
