3. Errebo, N. (2010, July). A decade of EMDR humanitarian trainings in Asia. Presentation at the 1st EMDR Asia Conference, Bali, Indonesia.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In 1999, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (HAP) began its work in Asia in Bangladesh. Since then HAP teams have
trained clinicians in India, Indonesia, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka. This presentation will summarize what has been learned
from ten years of experience in Asia. The EMDR HAP training in Sri Lanka following the 2004 tsunami will be presented in
detail. Issues addressed will include needs assessment, organization, collaboration among organizations, ethics, cultural
competence ,and program evaluation. Videotapes will show training and sessions of trainees with tsunami survivors. The
presentation will show how to train participants to think, write, and speak about EMDR as well as how to competently and
ethically utilize EMDR with clients.
An EMDR training program was conducted as a joint project of three organizations: EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs
(HAP), International Relief Teams (IRT), and the Sri Lankan National Counselors Association (SRILNAC). Between March and
December 2005, 30 Sri Lankan counselors were trained in EMDR. These counselors demonstrated competence in EMDR on
several measures, treated more than 1,000 children and more than 350 adult tsunami victims with EMDR in 2005, provided
narrative reports and outcome measures for most of their clients, and formed the Sri Lanka EMDR Association (SEA). The
crucial steps in establishing and implementing this training program are explained, with a summary of the subjective
impressions and learning experiences most valued by the training team, including an excerpt from a trainer’s journal. This
information may be useful to future cross-cultural humanitarian efforts following large-scale disasters.
This article summarizes the crucial steps in establishing and carrying out this training program as well. Previous HAP programs
in Bangladesh and Turkey (Konuk et al., 2006) had led to the development of a model of therapist training and service delivery
following large-scale natural disasters. Great need for mental health treatment in developing countries following a disaster
and the even greater challenge of delivering effective, culturally competent mental health treatment in these situations.
Silove and Bryant (2006) praised the rapid needs assessment after the tsunami as an important advancement in psychiatric
epidemiology that demonstrated the value of such assessment in guiding mental health interventions after disasters.They
pointed out that the controversy over whether to offer psychological treatment after disasters confuses funding agencies
and those planning mental health programs after disasters. Their concerns were echoed in Raphael and Stevens’s (2006)
delineation of the emerging consensus about good mental health practice after disasters in an article that was not a part of
the Bangkok symposium. IRT directors, EMDR-HAP staff, and SRILNAC leaders discussed crucial political, ethical, economic,
and logistical decisions in conference calls and e-mails. They outlined a program that would be responsive to the culture and
needs of Sri Lanka, would provide world-class EMDR training and consultation, and would follow International Society for
Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) guidelines for mental health programs in post disaster situations (Weine et al., 2002). Following
the funding mandate of IRT, the HAP team took responsibility for ensuring that services would in fact be delivered to tsunami
survivors and that those services would be clinically effective. Therefore, requirements for continuing participation were quite
specific, and trainees were more thoroughly evaluated than in previous HAP projects. These 30 counselors treated more than
1,350 tsunami survivors with EMDR between March and December 2005 and submitted outcome reports on these sessions
that show marked improvement in PTSD symptoms. We know from e-mail contact that a number of participants continue
to use EMDR effectively. As mentioned Important elements of the HAP training program in Sri Lanka included (a) adequate
funding, (b) selection of trainees, (c) negotiation of objectives among HAP,IRT, and SRILNAC, (d) the pre-EMDR training in
traumatology, (e) the consultation between trainings,(f ) the requirements for ongoing participation in the training, (g) a
variety of measures of competence in EMDR, (h) the continuing, ongoing consultation with trainees, and (i) dedication. A
project like this is expensive. IRT received.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In 2008-2009, many professionals and executives faced various organizational pressures ranging from pay slash, contrived
performance appraisals, layoffs and work overload due to the recession which impacted many traumatically. It affected the
morale, motivation and basic sense of security which was previously part of the work culture in Eastern countries especially
in India. EMDR is an effective tool for organizations to manage dramatic change without adversely impacting the individual
and consequently the organization.
Participants will learn:
1. What constitutes work trauma both direct and vicarious and how to identify its impact,
2. The impact of such work trauma on the clinical and non clinical parameters affecting performance, efficiency and well
being.
3. How to use EMDR efficiently with work trauma.
4. Adapting EMDR to the different setting where work trauma clients may present themselves in the Eastern context.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
India, the world’s second largest democracy, is known for its diversity in
terrain, culture and ethnicity. Prone to both natural and man made calamities
along with a high population density and not enough resources, mental health
does not rank high on the list of people’s priorities.
The earthquake of January 2001, was the second deadliest experienced by
the country through its recorded history. Trauma therapy, specifically EMDR
was still at its inception in the country with very few fully trained professionals.
These professionals put together a response that reached out to more than
16000 affected individuals, mostly children and adolescents and a few
parents, teachers and adults from the society.
The keynote address discusses the approach that was adapted in working in
Gujarat in the aftermath of the earth quake, the processes that were modified
to make them relevant both to the culture and the trauma experienced by the
people. The address also discusses the documented findings while work was
underway, the experiences and observations of the therapists along with a
few representative cases.
The data for this keynote was generated through the drawings of children
done as a part of the therapy itself. The impact on adolescents using the
Impact of Event scale will also be presented.

Abstract:
In 1995 Dr. Sushma Mehrotra of Mumbai first read about a new therapy called EMDR. After studying all of the information available to her, she introduced it to the Bombay Psychological Association and then to the Bombay Psychiatric Society. To make sure she understood it correctly, Dr. Mehrotra established contact with EMDR training facilitator and HAP volunteer, Ann Kafoury. She later invited Ann to come to India to give a presentation on EMDR to mental health professionals. Since that time they have worked together to develop trainings and to bring EMDR to the people of India. Ann has served as the coordinator of EMDR HAP programs in India since that time.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
On 26th December 2005 the southern coastline of India was hit by a tsunami, which resulted in the deaths of over 28,000 people. This natural disaster caused the widespread devastation to the region. As part of the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programme as series of EMDR Levels 1 and 2 were established in Chennai, Southern India offering training to mental health workers specifically working the tsunami affected areas. The project was funded by Cerner/First Hand Foundation project with the remit primarily focusing upon the trauma impact upon children. For the purpose of this presentation, the Chennai project will be outlined, providing insight into how the trainings were carried out from a teaching and learning perspective. It will also consider trauma experiences from a cultural viewpoint, which potentially challenges western constructs of PTSD phenomena. Particular attention wil be focused upon the aspects of the Negative and Positive Cognition and how this seems to be potentially a cultural component to the EMDR protocol. Indian practitioners determined that 'mind and body' are one in the same. Yet EMDR training emphasises the importance of distinguishing between thoughts and feelings. As a result many of the trainees struggled with this aspect. Discussion will also explore more widespread trauma characteristics of the tsumani including how the trauma impacted from an individual, family, and community perspective.

Abstract:
To know the present status of EMDR in Asian countries:
Method: Inquiries by e-mail to the representatives of Asian countries and related US or European people
were sent. Replies were received from countries like Australia, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India,
Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Thailand.
Questions were on the origin of EMDR, the first training, the number of trainings so far, the number
of trained practitioners, credentials, academic organization, acceptance from government, media, and
professional world, future possibilities, and difficulties expected.
Results: Some countries like Australia, Japan and Korea have already reached the moderate stage, but still they have problems
to be solved. In Australia, their first training was in 1993 and many therapists have received training, but, organization
started very recently and network is not strong. In Japan, Japan EMDR Association has more than 800 members and started
publishing their own academic journal in 2009. However sceptical statements about EMDR can be seen in some books on
trauma. In Korea, they have health insurance system for EMDR but practitioners are few. The other countries are in the early
stage to grow the EMDR community or support the EMDR therapists. Most of them began the history after a big natural
disaster like Tsunami or earthquake. HAP from Europe and/or US supports their beginning. The first Asian conference could
be a good opportunity to start mutual understanding and cooperation in Asia.

Abstract:
After the earthquake in January 2001 in India,40 trained EMDR Therapists participated in helping more than 1600 people.The symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) were observed both in children and adults;no gross disintegration of personality was noted.Through analyzing children's drawings,the study finds the relationship between individual emotions and traumatic impact on their psychological health.Although people who had suffered greater destruction and severe loss demonstrated greater emotional upheaval,people in the large residential areas mostly intact from the earthquake felt more insecure than those in severely destructed areas,due to the threat of further destruction.

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.

psychologist, psychotherapists and psychiatrist who travel to places where
is a need to teach trauma therapy and to prevent the after-effects of
trauma and violence like the tsunami regions and earthquake areas. Till
now a lot of HAP volunteers bring a powerful mental health resource to
regions overwhelmed by the stress of natural disaster or local conflict
areas. This presentation will give examples from all around the world of
how HAP projects shift the focus from disaster response to mental health
resource development.

This is an uncontrolled field study of the outcome effects
of a somatically based therapy with tsunami victims in
southern India. One hundred and fifty (150) participants,
prescreened for trauma symptoms, received 75
minutes of somatic therapy and training in affect modulation
and self-regulation. The results indicate a reliable
and significant treatment effect at immediate, 4-week, and
8-month follow-up assessments. At the 8-month follow-up,
90% of participants reported significant improvement or
being completely free of symptoms of intrusion, arousal,
and avoidance. The results support the effectiveness and
reliability of this modified version of Somatic
Experiencing Therapy in working with trauma reactions
and invite future controlled trials of this therapy.

Abstract:
Girls who participate in Miss India Pageants are a mix of different cultures and background. They stay together for 40 days,
and have grueling sessions by expert trainers from different fields. The Pageant Organizers appoint a Psychologist to deal
with their hidden conflicts, fears and pressure of wining. As these girls stay in a very competitive milieu, they tend to lose
their inner confidence and start judging their own beauty negatively. As the day of pageant dawns they report being nervous
and anxious. The psychologist chose to use Resource Development technique from EMDR mainly composed of Calm and
Safe Palce, Butterfly Hug and Future Templates .The participants were told to chose their Calm and safe place. The protocol
was properly followed from the trainers’ manual. Five sessions of Coping Resources treatment were done for the contestants.
Before teaching Calm and Safe Place, each of the contestants was interviewed by the Psychologist to understand their
limitations and flaws, which might hinder them from winning the pageant. After the installation of Future Templates, the
contestants reported that they were better equipped to deal with the pressures of the pageant. This report suggests that the
Resource Development treatment using EMDR may be effective for such important events.
