Here is reported about EMDR sessions with a child showing deviant sexual behaviour, in the care of the Welfare Facility for Children. 1) Semi-structured interviews were arranged in order to clarify the situation with regards to the child's potential for self-observation, compassion for the victim, realization of having done the victim wrong, further the eventual existence of dominating and/or aggressive straits. Further, based upon the possible sexual experience behind the deviant sexual behavior, there was a need to find out whether the child earlier had himself been a victim for sexual abuse. 2) Generally even if it only would be considered a light/non-serious deviance, one should, based upon its presence, reflect upon the possibility of the deviant child having been sexually abused. 3) As the case records describe flashbacks from sexual abuse, the EMDR was applied with the effect that the sexual deviant behaviour disappeared. By using EMDR the past traumatic memory was changed into a 'safe' memory, with the child having returned to normal initiative-rich life under development. 4) As the link between being victim and having victimized has disappeared, there is a future need for a coordinated effort from the Child Guidance Center and the Welfare Facility to consider the protection and intervention methods.

Abstract:
Bij het behandelen van kinderen met autisme wordt steeds meer een systemische aanpak gehanteerd. Daar waar het in de ouderbegeleiding vooral over psycho educatie en rouwverwerking gaat rond het autisme, staat in de gezinstherapie het systeem centraal en de samenwerking tussen de gezinsleden, rekening houdend met overeenkomsten en verschillen. Bij het gebruik van de EMDR binnen de gezinstherapie levert dit soms verrassende situaties op die op eigen wijze bijdragen aan veranderingen welke van te voren niet werden te voorzien.
In deze workshop worden een drietal casussen besproken waarbij (delen van) het gezin betrokken zijn. De aangemelde casussen zijn een jongen met laag zelfbeeld, een preverbaal trauma bij een geadopteerd meisje en een meisje dat dreigt zichzelf te beschadigen. Alle drie de kinderen zijn kinderen met ASS. Maar wat gebeurt er tijdens gecombineerde systeem-EMDR sessie?
In de presentatie neem ik deelnemers mee in woord en beeld en ga in gesprek.
When treating children with autism is becoming a systemic approach. Where in the parent guidance particularly on psychoeducation and bereavement goes around autism, family therapy is in the central system and the cooperation between family members, taking into account similarities and differences. With the use of EMDR in family therapy yields some surprising situations which in their own way contribute to changes which in advance were not providing.
In this workshop, three cases are discussed in which (parts of) the family involved. The notified cases are a boy with low self-esteem, a preverbal trauma in an adopted girl and a girl who threatens to harm himself. All three children are children with ASD. But what happens when combined system EMDR session?
In the presentation I take Participants in words and pictures and talk to them.

Abstract:
In May 2000, a firework depot exploded in the city of Enschede (The Netherlands), leaving 22 people dead, 947 injured, more than 500 houses destroyed, and about 1500 houses significantly damaged. In total, 4, 163 people were affected, including many children and adolescents. Children with chronic posttraumatic stress reactions were referred for treatment to the Ambulant Mental Health Care team un Enschede.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the relative efficacy of EMDR versus a CBT approach for reducing children’s symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety and behavior problems, All participants treated from 2001 to 2003 were included. They received 4 sessions of EMDR and 4 sessions CVBT. Moreover, four sessions of parent guidance were included in both groups. The final N was 57 children (age 3-18).
Assessment took place prior to the intervention, immediately after the intervention and at 3 month follow-up. The main outcome measures were: UCLA PTSD Index (parent, child, and adolescent version), Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS), the Parent Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (PROPCS), the Problem Rating Scale (PRS), the Birleson Depression Scale and the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASQ, anxiety).
Also parent-reported psychosocial dysfunction and teacher-reported problems were assessed (Child Behavior Check List: parent form and teacher form and for children aged 11 and older; self-report form). For the youngest (0-6 years) the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) was included. The date was gathered but not yet analyzed is currently underway.

Abstract:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) ist eine sehr wirksame
Therapiemethode in der Behandlung der Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung, assozierter
Störungen und anderer psychischer Störungen. Das Modell der adaptiven
Informationsverarbeitung stellt einen theoretischen Rahmen bereit, um die Wirkung des EMDR
zu erklären und bietet im Sinne eines Krankheitsmodells Anleitung zur Diagnostik und
Behandlungsplanung. EMDR ist ein manualisiertes Verfahren und die Berücksichtung der
vorgeschlagenen Protokolle und Prozeduren ist für einen Behandlungserfolg essentiell. Die
phasenorientierte Behandlungsplanung nimmt in der Therapie traumatisierter Menschen generell
einen hohen Stellenwert ein und ist auch für eine EMDR-Therapie sehr wichtig. Die Bearbeitung
einer „wenig belastenden Beispielerinnerung“ in der Frühphase einer EMDR-Therapie bietet
einen guten Einstieg in die sich anschließende Traumabearbeitung und ist besonders in der Arbeit
mit akut Traumatisierten und komplexen Störungsbildern hilfreich.

Abstract:
The UK National Institute for Clinical Excellence
Guidelines on PTSD: Based on rigorous meta-analysis, detailed literature review and two public
consultations, the national guidelines for the assessment, prevention and
treatment of PTSD in the UK will be presented in this symposium on behalf
of the Guideline Development Group.
Drug treatments in the management of PTSD: Drug treatments are increasingly used in the management of PTSD and have
been supported by a number of recent reviews although there have been
increasing concerns about their safety. Recent guidance has been issued in
the UK by the Regulatory Agency concerning the use of SSRI drugs in people
of all ages, but especially in children and young adults. In a meta-analysis
of the clinical trial literature for PTSD, following a rigorous bibliographic
search, 26 RCTs meeting strict criteria were identified. Data on two hitherto
unpublished trials of sertraline were available for inclusion. This review highlights
the methodological issues involved in comparing drug trials and trials
of psychological therapies. Nonetheless, meta-analysis demonstrates that
drug treatments for PTSD are probably more disappointing than hitherto
believed. Only five drugs emerged with recommendations for use. One of
these has a reliable if modest effect (paroxetine). The other four are included
on the basis of small single trial reports. Although there are clear indications
for drug treatments, in general there should be an increasing emphasis on
ensuring that trauma-focused psychological treatments (CBT and EMDR) are
widely available, delivered by competent practitioners, and easily accessible
in a timely fashion in primary and secondary care settings.

Abstract:
Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of adding EMDR to the routine treatment regimen of child therapists. Method: 39 child guidance center clients were randomly assigned to an experimental group that received EMDR plus the center's routine treatment package or a control group that received only the center's routine treatment package. Results: Analyses of variance found no significant differences in Child Behavior Checklist scores between groups. Subanalyses conducted for 33 clients with elevated pretest scores found moderate effect sizes that approached, but fell short of, statistical significance. Conclusions: These findings raise doubts about notions that EMDR produces rapid and dramatic improvements with children whose emotional and behavioral problems are not narrowly connected to a specific trauma and who require improvisational deviations from the standard EMDR protocol. Further research is needed in light of the special difficulties connected to implementing the EMDR protocol with clients like those in this study. [Sage]

Abstract:
1st International Congress on Neurobiology and Clinical Psychopharmacology and European Psychiatric Association Conference on Treatment Guidance
Background
Efficiency of the EMDR procedure is based on a presumption of neuropsychological changes in therapeutic process.The aim of the investigation is to scann and give evidence of electroactivity changes, during the process of EMDR procedure and after finishing it.
Materials and methods
We have recorded a continual polygraph EEG, before, during and after EMDR therapy, in patient with combat-related PTSD.
Results
Before the treatment, EEG recorded basic activity of low voltage (attenuation) of 20 μV, frequency of beta range (17-26 Hz), bioccipital, with no pathologic activity. Patient had prominent vegetative symptoms (anxiety, heart rate 100/min). Background activity immediately after the treatment records the amplitude values of around 50 μV, frequency of around 11-12 Hz. After the end of the treatment background activity possesses the amplitude value of about 37 μV, holding the persistence in frequency.
Conclusions
If the EMDR treatment is successful, sudden increase of amplityde activity is noted imensly. This sharp border line, which signifies normal activity, appears in 2-3 seconds affter the desensitize phase. The investigation suggest that from neurophysiological point of view, cortex (in EMDR procedure), works according to the principle "all or nothing". If there is processing of traumatic memory, the activity gets completly normal. If the therapy is not successful, there are numerous artefacts, because of increased muscle activity. This kind of activity, in our investigation is marked as "Artefact therapy".
The results, indicate maintaining low level of amplitude values of electrocortical activities during the treatment, as well as increase after successful treatment. The increase of amlitude is corelated to decrease of anxiety after the successful treatment.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
A critical incident is any situation that causes unusually strong emotional reactions that have the potential to interfere with a person's
ability to function immediately after the incident or later. These are situations that overwhelm a person's sense of vulnerability
and/or control.
A critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is a psychoeducational group meeting or discussion about a traumatic incident which
ideally takes place within 72 hours of the event. The goals of a CISD are to mitigate the psychological impact of a traumatic event,
prevent subsequent development of a post-traumatic syndrome, accelerate recovery, and serve as an early identification mechanism
for people who need further follow-up, including EMDR.
The steps of a CISD include:
1) introduction - to introduce the intervention team, explain the process, and set expectations.
2) fact - to describe the event from each participant's perspective on a cognitive level.
3) thought - to allow participants to describe cognitive reactions and to transition to emotional reactions.
4) reaction - to identify the most traumatic aspect of the event for participants.
5) symptom - to identify personal symptoms of distress and transition back to the cognitive level.
6) teaching - to educate as to normal reactions and adaptive coping strategies
7) reentry - to clarefy ambiguities and prepare for termination; access for follow-up.
In the opinion of the authors, the CISD facilitates the processing of the traumatic information before it becomes crystallized in
dysfunctional form.
EMDR can be very effective shortly following a CISD, and is particularly usehl for participants who are experiencing distress or
intrusive symptoms after the CISD. The CISD structure helps the participant understand the traumatic impact of the incident and
provides support and guidance toward adaptive resolution. The EMDR process begins where the CISD leaves off. The CISD helps
to delineate the traumatic image, negative cognition, and emotions associated with the event, making the subsequent EMDR process
more efficient. EMDR appears to have a very powerful and rapid effect after the CISD, perhaps, because of the initial processing.
In other words, the CISD initiates an adaptive processing of the traumatic information; EMDR completes it.
EMDR can be implemented individually immediately following the CISD, or the next day. While the CISD is a group process,
EMDR is an individual method. EMDR can be explained during the teaching phase of the CISD or after the CISD to the whole
group, but EMDR treatment is done individually and privately. EMDR can go beyond a CISD in targeting previous traumas that
may underlie the current incident, delve deeper into the meaning of the incident for the person, and target specific stimuli that are
relevant to the individual (e.g. Smells, tastes, etc.).
The workshop will discuss the application of EMDR to critical incidents. The protocol for recent events will be reviewed.
Guidelines for negative and positive cognitions will be discussed. For example, a critical incident usually involves issues of
responsibility ("Is it my fault?"), Safety ("Am I safe?"), And/or control ("Do I have choices in life?). It is important that such
dynamics are understood when formulating the negative cognition.
The dynamics of fear, a framework for understanding a critical incident and resolving issues of vulnerability and powerlessness, will
be presented. The model discusses the importance of going beyond defining the moment of peak stress to elucidating subsequent
thoughts, actions, and decisions. The implications for cognitive interweaves will be discussed.

Abstract:
Many clinicians seek guidance with case formulation and predicting responses to EMDR reprocessing. This presentation integrates the AIP Model with adult attachment classification. Case examples illustrate clinical strategies for assessing attachment classification as a foundation for case formulation. This presentation proposes a symptom informed approach for cases with an Axis I focus – PTSD, depression, specific phobias and panic – from parallel models of de Jongh (2010), Korn (2004) and Leeds (2004, 2009). Criteria from Korn (2004, 2009), Leeds (2009) and Hofmann (2004, 2005) indicate when to consider containing and deferring reprocessing early life experiences in complex cases – personality disorders and complex PTSD.

Abstract:
The functions of EMDRIA Approved Consultants
include the provision of consultation and
supervision. However, consultation is not the same
as supervision. One of the areas of consultation is to provide guidance and training to applicants for EMDRIA Certification. There is support in the
literature that EMDR works best in a therapeutic
relationship, when fidelity to the method is
maintained. This workshop will address ways to
examine and assess the expectations of the
consultants-in-training, such as skills with case
conceptualization, knowledge and ability to implement the EMDR treatment method, and
ablllty to assert that knowledge with confidence.
This workshop hopes to build upon the skills that
consultants already possess, refining and upgrading their competencies. It is hoped that it will assist EMDRIA-Certification Applicants and Consultants-in-Training in determining their needs for consultaton.

Abstract:
Voor de behandeling van de posttraumatische stress stoornis (PTSS) bestaan er
twee behandelmethoden waarvan de werkzaamheid voldoende is aangetoond:
gedragstherapie (imaginaire exposure) en Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) (de Jongh en ten Broeke, 2003). EMDR is in Amerika
door Shapiro ontdekt en ontwikkeld. In de 90’er jaren is deze
behandelmethode in Nederland geïntroduceerd. Oorspronkelijk is het een vorm
van psychotherapie voor volwassenen. In Amerika zijn onder anderen Lovett,
Tinker en Wilson begonnen om EMDR ook bij kinderen toe te passen. Het
eerste onderzoek naar de behandeling van kinderen met EMDR is in 1996
gepubliceerd door Chemtob (Lovett, 1999).
Inmiddels zijn er in Nederland verschillende artikelen geschreven over de
toepassing van EMDR bij kinderen (de Roos en Beer, 2003; Beer en de Roos,
2004). EMDR kan goed bij schoolgaande kinderen gebruikt worden. Er wordt
dan gewerkt met het kinderprotocol. Adolescenten, pubers en lagere
schoolkinderen worden nu vaak met EMDR behandeld als er sprake is van
PTSS. De toepassing bij peuters is minder bekend.
Hoe jonger het kind des te sneller therapeuten geneigd zijn om niet met het
kind zelf te werken. Dikwijls wordt dan volstaan met ouderbegeleiding.
Ouders krijgen adviezen hoe zij hun kind kunnen helpen bij de verwerking van
het trauma. Naast de ouderbegeleiding krijgt het kind zelf vaak helemaal geen
behandeling, terwijl behandeling van het kind wel datgene is waar ouders om
vragen. Het kind behandelen werkt directer en waarschijnlijk ook efficiënter en
effectiever.
Bij kinderen onder de vier jaar zijn een heleboel elementen uit het EMDR
protocol niet uitvoerbaar. Toch is het heel goed mogelijk om EMDR ook bij de
allerkleinsten te gebruiken, namelijk door middel van de “storytelling”
techniek van Lovett (1999). De hulp en inzet van ouders is daarbij een vereiste.
In dit artikel wordt deze techniek beschreven aan de hand van een
gevalsbeschrijving van een jongetje van drie jaar, Tommy. Het artikel begint
met een uiteenzetting van de voorgeschiedenis van de casus. Daarna wordt
aangegeven welke elementen van het EMDR protocol aangepast moeten
worden bij peuters en wordt de “storytelling” techniek, oftewel de verhalenmethode, beschreven. Dan volgt een weergave van het verhaal dat de
ouders van Tommy met behulp van de therapeut voor hem schreven.
Vervolgens wordt de behandeling van Tommy beschreven. Het artikel eindigt
met een conclusie.
For the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), there
two treatments for which efficacy has been adequately demonstrated:
behavioral therapy (imaginal exposure) and Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) (de Jongh and Ten Broeke, 2003). EMDR in America
discovered and developed by Shapiro. In the 90's, this
treatment method introduced in the Netherlands. It was originally a form
of psychotherapy for adults. In America, among others Lovett,
Tinker and Wilson began to EMDR in children applying. The
first research on the treatment of children with EMDR in 1996
published by Chemtob (Lovett, 1999).
There are now several articles on the Netherlands
use of EMDR in children (de Roos and Beer, 2003, Bear and Rose,
2004). EMDR may well be used in school children. It is
then worked with the children's protocol. Adolescents, adolescents and lower
school children are now often treated with EMDR when there is
PTSD. The application in toddlers is less known.
The younger the child the faster therapists tend not to
child to work. Often parent guidance are sufficient.
Parents get advice on how they can help their child in the processing of
the trauma. Besides the parent guidance, the child itself is often no
treatment, while treatment of the child does what is true for parents
questions. The child works deal more directly and probably more efficient and
effective.
In children under four years are a lot of elements from the EMDR
protocol is not feasible. Yet it is quite possible to EMDR also in
toddlers to use, namely through the storytelling
technique of Lovett (1999). The help and commitment of parents is a prerequisite.
This article describes the technique using a
case report of a boy of three years, Tommy. The article begins
with an account of the history of the case. Then
identifying the elements of the EMDR protocol adapted to
are young children and the storytelling technique, or the stories method described. Then follows a representation of the story that
Tommy's parents by the therapist wrote for him.
Then the treatment of Tommy described. The article ends
with a conclusion.

Abstract:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an approach that combines elements of the major therapeutic schools (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, physiological, and interactional). Although eye movement stimulation has garnered the most attention professionally and publicly, EMDR actually involves a much broader spectrum of interventions which are organized into eight phases of therapy. EMDR is based on the assumption that specific experiences from the past continue to guide the client's responses in the present. To influence such experiences from the past, EMDR draws on an information processing model of behavior. Disturbing trauma-related information is believed to be held in the patient's nervous system in state-dependent form (e.g., the perceptions and sensations experienced at the time of the trauma are encoded in the nervous system). EMDR allows the processing of this information so that what is useful from the experience can be learned; stored appropriately, cognitively and affectively; and made available for behavioral guidance in the future. EMDR allows clients to access and reprocess these experiences as well as to learn new skills and behaviors for managing future life events. The goal of EMDR is to produce the most comprehensive and profound treatment effects in the shortest period of time, while helping the client to remain reasonably stable.

Abstract:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a complex treatment approach that combines salient elements of the major therapeutic schools (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, physiological, and interactional). Although the eye movement stimulation (and other forms of dual stimulation used in the approach) have garnered the most attention professionally and publicly, EMDR actually involves a much broader spectrum of interventions, which are organized into eight phases of therapy. Currently, 13 completed controlled studies of EMDR make it one of the most researched methods of psychotherapy used in the treatment of trauma. Its efficacy has been supported by these studies: the four most recent studies of victims who have suffered single traumas have demonstrated that after the equivalent of three 90-minute sessions, 84% to 90% of patients no longer have symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Rothbaum, 1997; Wilson, Becker, & Tinker, 1995).
EMDR is based on the assumption that specific experiences from the past continue to guide the client`s responses in the present. These experiences can be the "big T" traumas that result in PTSD or the "small t" traumas that are the ubiquitous experiences known to have a less dramatic but still negative impact on personality and behavior.
To influence such experiences from the past, EMDR draws on an information processing model of behavior. Conceptually, disturbing trauma-related information is believed to be held in the patient`s nervous system in state-dependent form (e.g., the perceptions and sensations experienced at the time of the trauma are encoded in the nervous system). EMDR allows the processing of this information in an adaptive fashion so that what is useful from the experience can be learned; stored appropriately, cognitively, and affectively; and made available for behavioral guidance in the future. What is useless to adaptation, such as excess negative emotions, irrational self-assessments, and disturbing physical sensations, can be discarded.
Assessment is focused not on global diagnoses but rather on specific delineations of problematic behaviors, attitudes, and affects that need to be transmuted to allow for adaptive resolution of trauma or conflict. Specifically, the EMDR clinician asks, what is the patient being influenced by past experiences to do in the present that is dysfunctional and what is he or she prevented from doing that would be adaptive?
Although originally applied to PTSD, EMDR shows promise in a variety of clinical complaints that are based on earlier life experiences that underlie the pathology and current experiences and that restimulate the disturbance. EMDR allows clients to access and reprocess these experiences as well as to learn new skills and behaviors for managing future life events. In all cases, the goal of EMDR is to produce the most comprehensive and profound treatment effects in the shortest period of time, while helping the client to remain reasonably stable.
EMDR as an eight-phase intervention approach can be considered a complete treatment in some clinical cases, or it may be part of a more complex treatment plan that includes other more traditional approaches to treating a specific pathology (e.g., borderline personality disorder). Within this latter integrative context, EMDR appears to be useful for a broad range of clinical complaints and seems to provide more rapid achievement of positive treatment effects than do these more traditional approaches alone.
Dr. Shapiro identifies her approach as "eye movement desensitization and reprocessing." What does this imply to you? More specifically, what do you expect of her? Will Dr. Shapiro be active or passive? Will the session be structured or unstructured? Directive or nondirective? Will it focus on the past or on the present? Will the session focus on behaviors, on thoughts, or on feelings? What do you expect to be the relative balance between attention to technique versus the interpersonal interaction?

Abstract:
EMDR är en evidensbaserad metod för att behandla PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Emellertid kan EMDR tillämpas på ett betydligt bredare sätt. Många av de besvär som människor bär på har inte orsakats av något livshotande trauma men kan förstås utifrån att plågsamma minnen inte kunnat bearbetas. Författarna använder en enkel, rättfram framställning med många kliniska exempel. Vanliga nybörjarfel och missuppfattningar illustreras, men boken lyfter också fram sådant som underlättar bearbetningen av plågsamma minnen. Terapeuter och klienter berättar om egna erfarenheter på ett instruktivt sätt. Läsaren får följa tillämpningen av EMDR-protokollet genom samtliga åtta faser – från den första anamnesdelen till den avslutande behandlingsutvärderingen, och får praktiska råd såsom ”Vad du än gör, gör inte så här!” Boken ersätter inte en grundkurs i EMDR eller Francine Shapiros ursprungliga bok, men är ett utmärkt komplement, en handbok med konkreta förslag, väsentlig vägledning, och strategier för att undvika vanliga fallgropar i EMDR- arbete med vuxna klienter.
EMDR is an evidence-based approach to treating PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). However, EMDR applicable to a much broader way. Many of the problems that people carry has not been caused by something life-threatening trauma but can be understood from the painful memories could not be processed. The authors use a simple, straightforward production with many clinical examples. Frequently nybörjarfel and misconceptions illustrated, but the book also highlights things that facilitate processing of painful memories. Therapists and clients talk about their experiences in an instructive way. The reader may follow the application of the EMDR protocol through all eight phases - the first history part of the final treatment evaluation, and get practical advice such as "Whatever you do, do not do this!" The book does not replace a basic course in EMDR or Francine Shapiro's original book, but is an excellent addition, a handbook of practical suggestions, guidance material, and strategies for avoiding common pitfalls in EMDR work with adult clients.

Abstract:
This special issue on eye movement desensitization
and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment of
recent events and community disasters gathers
information on the application of EMDR in situations
of extreme chaos, disaster, violence, and war. The authors
provide a global perspective, writing from Israel,
Palestine, the United Kingdom, Sri Lanka, the United
States, Italy, and Mexico. They describe the effectiveness
and utility of EMDR in treating severe distress
subsequent to experiences of overwhelming terror,
loss, and despair. This is a vital topic, suggesting the
possibility of reducing exceptional emotional disturbance,
helping restore function and stability to individuals
and communities. The reports from these authors
are encouraging and hopeful, stimulating thought and
suggesting direction and guidance for future research. (Excerpt)

Abstract:
In May 2000 a firework depot exploded in the city of Enschede (The
Netherlands), leaving 22 people dead, 947 injured, more than 500 houses
destroyed, and about 1500 houses significantly damaged. In total 4,163 people
were affected, including many children and adolescents. Children with
chronic posttraumatic stress reactions were referred for treatment to the
Ambultant Mental Health Care team in Enschede. A randomized controlled
trial was conducted to evaluate the relative efficacy of EMDR versus a CBT
approach for reducing children’s symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety
and behavior problems. All participants treated from 2001 to 2003 were
included. They received 4 sessions EMDR or 4 sessions CBT. Moreover, four
sessions of parent guidance were included in both groups. The final N was
53 children (age 3-18). Assessment took place prior to the intervention,
immediately after the intervention and at 3 months follow-up. The main
outcome measures were: UCLA PTSD Index (parent, child and adolescent
version), Child Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (CROPS), the Parent
Report of Post-traumatic Symptoms (PROPS), the Problem Rating Scale
(PRS), the Birleson Depression Scale and the Multidimensional Anxiety
Scale for Children (MASQ, anxiety). Also parent-reported psychosocial dysfunction
and teacher-reported problems were assessed (Child Behavior
Check List: parent form and teacher form and for children aged 11 and
older: self report form). For the youngest group (0-6 years) the Trauma
Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) was included.

Abstract:
At least in Britain, it’s official: psychotherapy works better than medication for PTSD. You shouldn’t be too surprised. The last time we covered PTSD (TCPR April 2004) we reviewed the SSRIs and found them to have evidence of only modest efficacy.
Now, according to the latest treatment guidelines from Britain's National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), antidepressants are no longer recommended as a first-line treatment, but cognitive therapy is.

Abstract:
Background: Increasingly clinicians are being asked to assess and treat young refugees, who have experienced traumatic events due to war and organised violence. However, evidence-based guidance remains scarce. Mthod: Published studies on the mental health difficulties of refugee children and adolescents, associated risk and protective factors, as well as effective interventions, particularly those designed to reduce war-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, were identified and reviewed. The findings are summarised. Results: Young refugees are frequently subjected to multiple traumatic events and severe losses, as well as ongoing stressors within the host country. Although young refugees are often resilient, many experience mental health difficulties, including PTSD, depression, anxiety and grief. An awareness of relevant risk and protective factors is important. A phased model of intervention is often useful and the need for a holistic approach crucial. Promising treatments for alleviating symptoms of war-related PTSD include cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT), testimonial psychotherapy, narrative exposure therapy (NET) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR). Knowledge of the particular needs of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC), working with interpreters, cross-cultural differences, medico-legal report writing and the importance of clinician self-care is also necessary. Conclusion: More research is required in order to expand our limited knowledge base.

Abstract:
O assunto “trauma” vem adquirindo novos significados, considerando principalmente
acontecimentos sociais recentes, sejam eventos adversos, catástrofes, desastres,
sejam as situações-limite vividas pelas pessoas no cotidiano urbano. A psicologia
das emergências estuda o comportamento das pessoas nos acidentes e desastres
desde uma ação preventiva até o pós-trauma e, se for o caso, subsidia intervenções
de compreensão, apoio e superação do trauma às vítimas e profissionais do SAMU.
O assunto se estende às questões que vão desde a experiência pessoal do trauma
até os eventos adversos provocados por calamidades, sejam estas naturais e/ou
provocadas pelo homem. A psicologia das emergências é um tema de angústia
pública, sentimento difuso de mal-estar que se origina dos acontecimentos públicos
traumáticos, chamados estressores, tais como os acidentes de trânsito com vítima,
assim como os provenientes das demais situações limites de toda a violência
urbana. O trauma é uma experiência que explode a capacidade de suportar um
revés, traz a perda de sentido, desorganização corporal e paralisação da
consciência temporal, pode deixar marcas que influenciam a criatividade e a
motivação para a vida. Os objetivos nos primeiros auxílios psicológicos são de aliviar
as manifestações sintomáticas e o sofrimento, reduzindo os sentimentos de
anormalidade e de enfermidade. Um dos objetivos é a familiarização com temas
considerados complexos e muitas vezes distantes das discussões sobre trauma
psicológico, sendo que o problema da pesquisa é a compreensão da psicologia das
emergências e como colocá-la em prática. Os autores mais utilizados são Edgar
Morin, Alfredo Moffatt, Serge Moscovici, Gilles Deleuze e Michel Foucault, dentre
outros. São abordados os temas do não-reducionismo, da epistemologia de si
mesmo e da relação da Teoria das Representações Sociais com o EMDR
(dessensibilização e reprocessamento através de movimentos oculares). O método
desta pesquisa, com suporte na observação participante refere às questões da
complexidade, análise multirreferencial e de implicação. As técnicas mais utilizadas
foram entrevistas, grupos focais-“histórias significativas” e análise documental. É
indicado, como atitudes favoráveis pensar não a partir de algo, mas, sobretudo sobre
algo e que para mudar o modo de agir torna-se necessário modificar a imagem que
uma pessoa tenha de si próprio. Como conclusões da pesquisa, observou-se: que
as pessoas acidentadas trazem outros acontecimentos considerados difíceis junto
com o depoimento sobre o acidente, como situações de luto e de sofrimento com
familiares; que o estresse pós-traumático não é uma conseqüência inevitável do
trauma; que não há nenhuma orientação, ou rotina, nas missões de socorros e nos
documentos oficiais do SAMU sobre o tema psicologia das emergências. Também
são indicadas considerações finais sobre os temas da Síndrome de Burnout, sobre a
influência da instituição no cotidiano dos atendimentos, sobre a relação da clínica
com a psicologia social.
The subject of "trauma" has acquired new meanings, especially considering
recent social events, are adverse events, catastrophes, disasters,
are the extreme situations experienced by people in urban daily life. Psychology
emergencies studies the behavior of people in accidents and disasters
from preventive action to post-trauma and, if necessary, subsidize interventions
understanding, support and overcoming the trauma victim and professional SAMU.
The subject extends to issues ranging from the personal experience of trauma
to adverse events caused by disasters, whether natural and / or
manmade. The psychology of emergencies is a topic of anguish
public diffuse feeling of uneasiness that stems from public events
traumatic, called stressors, such as traffic accidents with victims,
as well as from the other extreme edge of all violence
urban. Trauma is an experience that explodes the ability to support a
setback, brings loss of meaning, and paralysis of body clutter
temporal awareness, can leave marks that influence creativity and
motivation for life. The goals in psychological first aid are to relieve
symptomatic manifestations and suffering, reducing feelings of
abnormality and disease. One goal is to become familiar with issues
as complex and often distant from the discussions on trauma
psychological, and the research problem is understanding the psychology of
emergencies and how to put it into practice. The authors are more used Edgar
Morin, Alfredo Moffatt, Serge Moscovici, Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, among
others. Issues are addressed in the non-reductionism, the epistemology of self
and even the relationship of the Theory of Representations to EMDR
(Desensitization and reprocessing through eye movements). The method
this research, supported in participant observation matters relating to
complex, multi-referential analysis and implication. The most used techniques
were interviews, focus groups, "meaningful stories and documentary analysis. It
indicated as positive attitudes to think not from something, but mainly on
something and to change the mode of action becomes necessary to modify the image
a person has of himself. As the survey findings revealed the following: that
rugged people bring other events to be difficult with
with testimony about the accident, as situations of grief and suffering with
family, whereas the post-traumatic stress is not an inevitable consequence of
trauma, there is no guidance, or routine tasks in the relief and
SAMU official documents on the subject of psychology emergencies. Also
concluding remarks are given on the topics of the Burnout on the
influence the institution in the routine of care, about the relationship of clinical
with social psychology.

Abstract:
Since the last edition of this review, there has been an impressive body of new evidence adding to our knowledge of psychological treatments. There have also been two new major reviews covering the complete range of available treatments: the second edition of the guidelines from the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) and the US Institute of Medicine's review. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines were published before the last edition of this article, and there are currently no plans to revise them. However, the Australian guidelines build on the NICE guidelines, and provide the most comprehensive and user-friendly clinical guidance currently available. It is fascinating that such major and thorough reviews have arrived at different conclusions. The Institute of Medicine endorses trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) and prolonged exposure but not eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) or drug treatment; NICE endorses TF-CBT and EMDR but not drugs; and the ISTSS guidelines, second edition, endorses drugs, EMDR, and TF-CBT. What is the bewildered therapist to do? Hopefully this review will clarify some of these issues. In truth, the discrepancy arises not because these learned and expert bodies have been perverse, negligent, or biased in their reviewing, but largely because they differ in what they have regarded as a clinically significant difference between two interventions as opposed to a statistical difference.

Abstract:
Background: Building on previous research with disaster-exposed children and adolescents, a randomised
clinical trial was performed in the treatment of trauma-related symptoms. In the current study two active
treatments were compared among children in a broad age range and from a wide diversity of ethnic
populations.
Objective: The primary aim was to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
(CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Design: Children (n52, aged 418) were randomly allocated to either CBT (n26) or EMDR (n26) in a
disaster mental health after-care setting after an explosion of a fireworks factory. All children received up to
four individual treatment sessions over a 48 week period along with up to four sessions of parent guidance.
Blind assessment took place pre- and post-treatment and at 3 months follow-up on a variety of parent-rated
and self-report measures of post-traumatic stress disorder symptomatology, depression, anxiety, and
behaviour problems. Analyses of variance (general linear model repeated measures) were conducted on the
intention-to-treat sample and the completers.
Results: Both treatment approaches produced significant reductions on all measures and results were
maintained at follow-up. Treatment gains of EMDR were reached in fewer sessions.
Conclusion: Standardised CBT and EMDR interventions can significantly improve functioning of disasterexposed
children.

Abstract:
Given the diversity of the therapists
who are interested in EMDR, an old
debate may be fruitfully revived. Does
therapy consist of task-oriented collaborative
consultation and guidance,
or is the negotiation of the therapeutic
relationship itself the primary task?
To the extent that EMDR may constitute
a new treatment context, the role
of the therapeutic relationship in
EMDR treatment is of particular interest.
How much of EMDR is inside
the client, and how much is between
the client and the therapist? Is successful
EMDR simply a function of the client's (guided) internal processing,
or is it somehow dependent upon the
quality of the therapeutic relationship,
or is it both.

Abstract:
What does help children and adults who have had experiences that ruptured their trust in the world and who have been unable to develop close, reciprocal, loving relationships?
1. Experiences of being safe for an extended period of time.
2. EMDR to desensitize and reprocess upsetting memories.
3. Development of healthy “inner parents” who nurture, encourage, and offer guidance.
4. Children benefit from nurturing cuddle time with parents – and alternating bilateral stimulation to reinforce positive experiences of safety, care, tenderness, and attunement.
5. Adults benefit from imagination exercises to help them experience nurturing.
6. Children and adults need a cohesive life story that is developmentally appropriate and explains and reframes what happened to them and offers trauma resolution and hope for the future.
7. EMDR to target confusion, so that uncertainty (necessary for approaching new experiences and learning) does not trigger anxiety.
8. Grief work, to deal with loss and find ways to be loyal to more than one person or family.
9. Creative opportunities for healing. Art, play therapy, drama, sandtray work can be used to express feelings, as well as provide targets for desensitizing and reprocessing traumatic experiences. Fortunately, children can resolve trauma even when EMDR is used to help the action figure, the baby doll, or the toy horse resolve a challenging situation.
10. Work with parents (or refer them) to understand and desensitize their own triggers for reactivity. Children who are fearful, angry, needy, or sad need mature parents who can stay objective and help them contain their strong emotions.
11. While the work of resolving trauma and developing trust can be slow, EMDR can facilitate the process. The rewards are sweet and well worth the effort. [Excerpt]

Abstract:
EMDR is both a trauma resolution method and a
comprehensive phase model of trauma treatment.
EMDR training has typically focused primarily
on the trauma resolution method (phases 3-7 of
the protocol), with only passing mention of the
rest of the treatment approach. This leaves many
EMDR trained clinicians unsure how to identify
clients for whom EMDR may be appropriate, how
to prepare their clients adequately for EMDR, and
how to identify appropriate targets(and target
order) for EMDR. In this workshop participants
will learn, and practice, how to conceptualize a
case from a trauma perspective, so that the clients'
presenting problems can be directly related to the
clients trauma/loss history. Participants will
learn, and practice, explaining this to their clients,
so they can develop a treatment plan (including
EMDR) accordingly. Participants will learn a
phase model of trauma treatment that is consistent
with EMDR while providing more detailed
guidance in phases 1,2, and 8 of the EMDR
protocol. Participants will learn a systematic
approach to preparing clients for EMDR.
Participants will also learn, and practice, applying
this model in asystematic way to problem-solving
their own challenging cases, as well as to
supervision and consultation.
