1. Scaer, R. (2006, September). Dissociation theory and the healing of trauma. Plenary at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Philadelphia, PA.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
The early studies of trauma in late 19th century Paris centered on the clinical phenomenon of conversion hysteria, a dissociative disorder. Janet and Freud wrote extensively on this topic, and actually described many of the posttraumatic syndromes that we are revisiting today. I will make the case that the late syndromes of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, especially dissociation, are clearly the defining symptomatic and physiological manifestations of trauma. These syndromes all have prominent somatic features, all of which represent posttraumatic sornatosensory implicit memory. This unconscious, body-based feature of the posttraumatic syndrome presents a compelling case for the universal application of somatically-based therapies such as EMDR in the healing of trauma.

Abstract:
Die dissoziative Störungen und Konversion sind mit erheblichen klassifikatorischen, diagnostische und therapeutische Schwierigkeiten, die nur in den historischen Kontext der Diskussion über die Hysterie verstanden werden kann, verbunden. Auch die Einstufung in die ICD-10 und DSM-IV ist heterogen. Prävalenzraten zwischen etwa 3% in der allgemeinen Bevölkerung und bis zu 30% in klinischen Populationen, jedoch beziehen sich auf die große klinische Bedeutung. Realtraumatisierungen eine wichtige Rolle in der Pathogenese. High Komorbiditätsraten mit anderen psychischen Störungen eine Tendenz zu chronischen somatischen Erkrankung und ein Konzept (insbesondere bei Patienten mit Erkrankungen erschweren Umwandlung) der psychotherapeutischen Behandlung. Dies erlaubt die Behandlung Ziele sind sowohl psychodynamische und kognitiv-verhaltenstherapeutischen in Abhängigkeit entwickelt, möglicherweise mit den Techniken der Trauma-Therapie, wie EMDR (Springer).

The dissociative and conversion disorders are associated with significant classificatory, diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties that can be understood only in the historical context of the discussion on hysteria. Even the classification in ICD-10 and DSM-IV is heterogeneous. Prevalence rates of between about 3% in the general population and up to 30% in clinical populations, however, refer to the great clinical significance. Realtraumatisierungen have an important role in the pathogenesis. High Komorbiditätsraten with other mental disorders, a tendency to chronic somatic disease and a concept (especially in patients with conversion disorders complicate) the psychotherapeutic treatment. This allows the treatment goals are designed both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral dependence in, possibly with the techniques of trauma therapy such as EMDR (Springer).

Abstract:
Spätestens am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kam – damals in psychiatrischen Kreisen – die Vermutung auf, dass starke seelische Verletzungen zu speziellen Symptomkomplexen führen, welche zunächst unter der Kategorie Hysterie klassifiziert wurden (vgl. van der Kolk, Weisaeth & van der Hart, 1996/2000). Ein Jahrhundert psychotherapeutischer Erfahrungen und Forschungsbemühungen – sowohl im Zusammenhang mit den Folgen beider Weltkriege und des Vietnamkrieges als auch mit der Frauenrechtsbewegung, welche auf Gewalt gegen Frauen aufmerksam machte – verdichteten diese Vermutung. Aber es sollte noch bis 1980 dauern, bis die Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) als offizielle Diagnose in der psychiatrischen Nomenklatur anerkannt wurde (vgl. van der Kolk, McFarlane & Weisaeth, 1996/2000).

By the end of the 19th Century was - at that time in psychiatric circles - on the presumption that strong psychological injury on specific symptom complexes, which were initially classified under the category of hysteria (van der Kolk, Weisaeth & van der Hart, 1996/2000). A century of psychotherapy experience and research efforts - both in connection with the effects of both World Wars and the Vietnam War and with the women's rights movement, which called attention to violence against women compacted - this assumption. But it would take until 1980 until the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as an official diagnosis in the psychiatric nomenclature has been recognized (van der Kolk, McFarlane & Weisaeth, 1996/2000).

Abstract:
Eighteen hundred years ago the Greek astronomer, and mathematician, Ptolemy, discovered he could induce a feeling of contentment in those who looked at sunlight through the spokes of a spinning wheel. In the late 1800's, French psychiatrist, Dr. Pierre Janet, noted that patients at the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris experienced increased relaxation and a reduction in the symptoms of hysteria when they were exposed to flickering light. Since the late 1930's neuroscientists have known that brainwaves would rapidly mimic the rhythm of a flashing light ( or sound ) stimulus. British EEG researcher, W. Grey Walter originally called this the "flicker phenomena," noting that strobic light produced states of profound relaxation and vivid mental imagery. Today this same principle is known as visual entrainment.

Abstract:
This case study tested the effect of EMDR on a case of hysteria, with a patient whose legs were paralyzed and who had intermittent convulsions making her body into an arch. DES, IES and HAMA questionnaires were used during the therapy process. The patient was referred for twice-per-week treatment in the first month and once-per-week treatment in the following months, with main recovery after 4 months, at that point she can walk with the support although she didn't feel completely safe to do so and the convulsions had subsided. At six months follow-up she reported a complete recovery. In this case, therapist did EMDR when the scores on the questionnaires were low, and used stabilization techniques when the scores were high. Most of the time stabilization technique were indicated and played a vital role in this case.
