Abstract:
Chronc diseases represent a complex area on the health-illness continuum. When a chronic disease is diagnosed, clients may require ongoing support to cope with life changes and management of their health. During this workshop, participants will be introduced to the general aspects of chronic diseases and how clients’psychological symptoms can be understood from the Adaptive Information Processing(AIP) model. Also, EMDR clinicians will learn how to structure an intervention for different types of chronic diseases, using the 8 steps of the Basic Protocol, identifying the key issues for each condition, according to a past-present-future timeline. Examples will be based on cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS cases.
Learning objectives:
1.Identify the challenges associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS
2. Utilize the Adaptative Information Processing (AIP) model to understand the psychological dimension of chronic diseases (e.g. anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, self-image issues, etcetera)
3. Use the EMDR basic protocol to structure interventions suitable for people living with human health conditions.

3. Weston, D. L. (1995, June). EMDR and the issues of gay clients. Presentation at the EMDR Network Conference, Santa Monica, CA.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
EMDR is an effective therapeutic method for working with the emotional issues of gay clients. The first portion of this workshop
will examine the "pubic" and "relationship" definitions of homosexuality. Being gay is much more than how people express
themselves sexually.
A brief historical and cultural kamework for understanding the emotional issues of lesbian I gay persons will be presented. There
will be a review of the psychological theories and the research about the origins of homosexuality.
The second portion of the workshop will focus on the psychological path of persons recognizing they are gay. The changes in the
"pre-stonewall' and "post-stonewall" experience will be highlighted. This review of psychological experience will look at the points
where EMDR therapists can be sensitive to the presence of emotional issues related to being gay.
Feeling "different" is often a precursor to recognizing that one is gay. It is impossible to grow up in our culture without
internalization of negative attitudes about gay people. When an individual recognizes (s)he is lesbian or gay, this negative learning
now applies to one's self. EMDR is effective in resolving this "internalized homophobia."
"Coming out" to one's self is a shock because, "I am no longer the person I believed myself to be." EMDR helps clients see gayness,
not as an event happening in Me at this moment, but as something with a history related to earlier life experiences and feelings.
This perception of continuity reduces the sense of crisis around being homosexual. As internalized homophobia is resolved,
acceptance and valuing of self increases.
Using the EMDR "future template" protocol assists people in preparing to "come out" to family, fiiends, employers, etc. Gay
activists suggests that lesbian/gay persons need to be "out" in all situations. EMDR can help people understand why they want to
come out to various people in various situations. It assists in idenhfxation of what people want as the result of "coming out."
EMDR is effective in workmg with the myths about homosexuality; the cultural homophobia. Among the myths to be focused are:
gay men are promiscuous, being gay is immoral, gay sexual expression is perversion, gay relationships don't last, lesbian/gay
persons recruit young people, etc.
The third portion of this workshop will focus on issues of HIV disease. There will be a brief epidemiological presentation and focus
on the medical and psychological issues of persons with HIV disease. Application of EMDR at "crisis points" of HIV disease will
be presented: (1) the worried well, a diminishing population as the aids epidmc continues, (2) the time of HIV+ diagnosis when
the potential for suicide is highest, (3) the time of the first AIDS defining illness, (4) response to declining health and approaching
death, and (5) issues of "meaning" as life moves toward death.
EMDR's application in grief and multiple loss will be presented. Our culture's attitude that grief is something to "be resolved" and
"get over" is a mistake. Grief is an ongoing process, especially when people are dealing with multiple losses of partners, fiends, etc.
EMDR is effective in reducing the pain around loss so that the grief process can proceed more comfortably.
The workshop will end with discussion of characteristics which therapists need to evaluate in relation to the decision to work or not
work with gay and gay HIV infected clients. Working with gay men leads to working with clients with HIV disease. Therapists
need to be clear about their boundaries and comfort in dealing with home and hospital visits, touching people who have AIDS, being
present at the death of a client, and other issues that arise in HIVIAIDS care.
The rewards of working with this population and the life changes it may make for the therapist will also be highlighted.

4. Mehrotra, S. (2013, June). EMDR in Asia: Needs, challenges and way ahead. Keynote presented at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Geneva, Switzerland.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This paper tries to highlight the milestones of some of the Asian EMDR Associations and the evolution of EMDR Asia and the practices and challenges faced. Some of the issues are related to the parity of trainees’ qualifications with those from USA, Europe and within Asia. Similarly it impacts upon the training standards. Attention is also drawn to the cultural, language and economical diversity. The task ahead is to reinforce the uniformity of EMDR practice by developing accreditation procedures, standardization, training standards, contents and duration, selection criteria and requirements for the trainees and trainers, certification process, curriculum, linkages with associations, methods of supervision and consultation. UN agencies have a huge presence in Asia for developmental and relief work. UN agencies engaged in a wide range of the health spectrum could make a huge difference if they promoted the efficacy of EMDR for effective management of psychological health. This would include the use of EMDR not only for manmade and natural disasters, but also for other chronic and life threatening illnesses e.g. HIV, cancer and other psycho-social issues related to mental health.

Language: English
Format: Book Section
Abstract:
Substance use disorders remain a persistent social and medical problem. According to a
recent report,1 addiction is the number one health problem in the United States. The report
notes that when one considers the direct costs of drug-induced health problems, deaths due
to accidents, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or drug-related acts of violent crime,
there are ‘more deaths, illnesses and disabilities from substance abuse than from any other
preventable health condition’.1
Most experts today agree that substance use disorders are a complex interaction
between genetics, environment, and experience. ‘Substance dependence is not a failure of
will or of strength of character, but a medical disorder that could affect any human being.
Dependence is a chronic and relapsing disorder, often co-occurring with other physical
and mental conditions’.2
The question remains - Why has it been that over the course of human history,
where people and cultures have had access to alcohol and potent mind-altering substances,
that only some become addicted while the rest are able to regulate their use?
The drugs that people experiencing substance use disorders select are not chosen
randomly, but are a result of an interaction between the psychopharmacologic action of the
drug and the dominant painful feelings with which they struggle. Edward Khantzian,
observed that opiates are often preferred because of their powerful numbing action on the
affects of rage and aggression. Cocaine has its appeal because of its ability to relieve
distress associated with depression. Although ill-fated, ‘addicts discover that the short-term
effects of their drugs of choice help them cope with distressful subjective states and an
external reality otherwise experienced as unmanageable or overwhelming’. Thus emerges a compelling hypothesis, which proposes that people use psychoactive substances in an
attempt to control painful symptoms resulting from psychological trauma. This is referred
to as ‘self-medication’.
Some studies in the United States show that more than 50% of people with mental
disorders also suffer from substance dependence compared to 6% of the general
population.2 It is from our interest in providing integrated treatment for the complex
interaction of genes, environment, trauma, and psychological pain as a driving force behind
mental health-substance use disorders, that this chapter is written.

8. Vyas, K. J. (2008, April). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to decrease human immunodefiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors among Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). Presentation at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, Salisbury University, MD.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Among Latino MSM, those who have reported early childhood sexual abuse continually report high levels of HIV risk behaviors. The objective of this study was to test if EMDR can be more effective as an HIV risk reduction behavioral intervention than a non-trauma based comparison, the Explore Study intervention. At a university-based outpatient clinic, 35 Latino MSM were randomized into Explore (n=13) and EMDR (n=22). The main outcome measure was a self-report questionnaire assessing unprotected anal sex, number of sexual partners, and use of substances before or during sexual activity during the previous month. Sexual risk behaviors were assessed at baseline, before randomization, and at one week post-intervention. Compared to baseline rates, participants who didn’t report unprotected receptive anal intercourse increased by 11% in Explore and decreased by 12% in EMDR. The corresponding comparisons for number of sexual partners were a 4% increase for Explore and a 41% decrease in EMDR. Explore and EMDR participants showed an increment of 25% and 9%, respectively, in those who denied having used alcohol or drugs before or during sexual activity. Follow-up data at 2 and 6 months post-intervention are being collected. This preliminary analysis suggests that certain HIV risk behaviors can be reduced by EMDR, while others can be equally reduced by more conventional interventions.

Abstract:
This paper will look at the effective use of the eight phases of the EMDR protocol in IMAGO therapy. It will be used to provide theoretical linkages between the use and integration of EMDR and IMAGO in couple’s therapy. Both these will be understood in relation to how they will help achieve integration with couples at diverse levels. Therapists will learn how to utilise both modalities (EMDR & IMAGO) effectively. They will understand the use of the touchstone event, to bring about shifts in individual and couples behaviour. They will also witness that without the use of EMDR the behavioural change cannot be long term. Capacitate participants in process and strategies for incorporating EMDR into IMAGO couples therapy practices. Provide participants with practical examples of EMDR and IMAGO through the behaviour change.
