2. Cotraccia, A. (2008, June). Disorganized attachment in the “worried well”: EMDR in the treatment of adjustment disorders. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, London, England.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This workshop will begin with a focus on current Adjustment Disorder literature. This section will highlight
problems of intrapersonal and interpersonal attunement as defined from an Interpersonal Neurobiological
perspective. Furthermore, literature on attachment theory will explore the importance of contingent
communication in the development of an integrated mind. The relevance of intersubjective experience in
adaptive information processing will help participants learn to identify experiences of misattuned communication
as relational trauma. Information processing will further be explored as related to self states. An emphasis on
recognizing “cohesive vs coherent” self states will be made. The understanding of the multiplicity of the mind in
this section will provide a context for considering dissociation from an attachment theory perspective. In addition
the emergence of cohesive and “disaggregated” self states will be highlighted as a result of the disorganized
attachment experience. This particular type of relational trauma will be conceptualized as a betrayal trauma.
Disavowal of self states will be established as salient in the vagueness of presenting complaints in the patient
with an Adjustment Disorder. AIP case conceptualization of Adjustment Disorders will be established and a focus
for the remainder of the workshop. Identification of memory networks associated with disorganized/unresolved
experiences and integration of cohesive self states will follow. The 8 phased 3 pronged protocol or modified egostate
specific targeting will be highlighted with a case study. Participants will learn to organize a treatment plan
around negative cognitions, affects and behaviours reflected in the presenting problem and history.

3. Dworkin, M. (2003, September). EMDR from the heart: A relational view of healing traumatic memories. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Denver, CO.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Many memories, explicit and implicit, and their concomitant sensations, are stimulated intersubjectively, spontaneously, and continuously, forming a multiplicity of feedback loops from clinician to client. This workshop
1s designed to raise the awareness of the clinician's witting and unwitting
participation in these processes. Transferential remarks may become sources of potential targeting, which may spontaneously bring the client back to old unfinished material. Somatosensory countertransferential
reactions may serve as sources of rich data to identify and work out blocks at a moment that a session seems to stall. The Relational Interweave, a relatively new intersubjective strategy, takes reactions of
clinician and client into account and opens opportuntities for new and
more powerful links to positive neural networks enhancing the work.
This workshop will teach rapid methods of identifying and sequencing
and intervening in these intersubjective processes.

Abstract:
EMDR represents an integrative model of psychotherapy at the theoretical level. During its 16-year history, it has created quite a controversy in academic psychology. Missing from these debates have been additional therapeutic elements that are necessary to propel productive thinking into ways of making greater use of the model. These elements—empathy, the intersubjective, and usage of the cognitive interweave in conjunction with transference and countertransference issues—are explored. This addition constitutes an assimilative approach to an ever-evolving model of resolving posttraumatic stress disorder.

5. Ringel, S. (2012). An integrative model in trauma treatment - utilizing eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and a relational approach with adult survivors of sexual abuse. Psychoanalytic Psychology. doi:10.1037/a0030044.
Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
The aim of this article is to offer an integrative approach in the treatment of adult survivors of sexual abuse. The treatment orientation is psychodynamic and intersubjective and will draw on three conceptual models: (a) a developmental model based on current attachment research, (b) current neuroscience findings concerning traumatic memory that emphasize sensory, affective, and implicit knowing in the understanding and treatment of trauma, and (c) eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as an adjunctive technique to help access traumatic memories. The author will summarize each theoretical perspective and will provide a case illustration to demonstrate a treatment approach that incorporates all three modalities.

Abstract:
This article proposes that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) would be strengthened
by being conceptualized as a two-person therapy; that is, a therapy that employs dialogue between clinician
and client about the resonance, attunement, and intention of their relationship. Current research on
the mirror neuron system provides a hypothetical neurological underpinning to this proposal. Detailed
clinical examples illustrate rupture (Now Moments) and subsequent repair (Moments of Meeting) of the
therapeutic relationship in the Eight Phases of EMDR. The high potential for relationship rupture during
EMDR therapy is discussed. Suggestions are made for improving EMDR practice, training, and consultation
by attending to the intersubjective experience between client and clinician, especially when working
with clients who have experienced repeated and pervasive disappointments in love and work.

Abstract:
Cet article avance l’idée qu’il serait avantageux de conceptualiser l’EMDR (désensibilisation et retraitement
par les mouvements oculaires) comme une thérapie à deux personnes, c’est-à-dire une thérapie
qui emploie le dialogue entre le thérapeute et le patient autour de la résonance, de l’accordage mutuel
et de l’objectif de leur relation. Les recherches en cours sur le système des neurones-miroirs fournissent
une possible base neurologique à cette proposition. Des exemples cliniques détaillés illustrent la rupture
(moments urgents) et la réparation subséquente (moments de rencontre) de la relation thérapeutique
au cours des huit phases EMDR. Nous exposons le risque élevé de rupture de la relation au cours de la
thérapie EMDR. Nous faisons des propositions pour améliorer la pratique, la formation et les consultations
d’EMDR en prêtant attention à l’expérience intersubjective entre le patient et le thérapeute, en
particulier dans le travail avec des patients qui ont vécu des déceptions répétées et généralisées dans
leurs relations amoureuses ou professionnelles.

9. Dworkin, M. (2009, August). Solving transference and countertransference with dissociative disorders in EMDR. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Atlanta, GA.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This workshop will focus on transference and countertransference problems and solutions in EMDR with dissociative clients. There will be a short literature review on procedural modifications in dealing with dissociation in EMDR, and transference and countertransference with dissociative patients. Research findings on mirror neurons and embodied simulation will be taught to enhance the participant’s understanding of the neurobiological substrates for attunement and resonance, and for solving transference and countertransference with dissociatives in EMDR when ruptures to relatedness occurs. Identifying and using transference reactions to enhance dual awareness will be demonstrated in history taking. Enhancements in preparation phase will be shown through case example to limit induced transference. Transference and countertransference during the assessment phase will be identified and solutions offered. In the Desensitization phase EMDR processing may induce transference, countertransference, or both (even with procedural modifications). Intersubjective challenges seem to be more intense during phases 1 -4 and 7-8. Activated parts in the patient may cling or be angry with the therapist at the end of an EMDR session, or during Re-evaluation. Failure or defectiveness parts of the therapist may become activated then as well. Different parts of a dissociative patient may appear with different kinds of transferences during different EMDR phases. These transferences challenge therapist’s abilities to stay attuned. Strategies of attunement to the activated part of the patient will be demonstrated in order to repair or prevent ruptures to the alliance and to understand the nature of the dissociated communication. Bi-directional interactions may activate parts of the patient and therapist without conscious awareness. Strategies to somatically identify and use these countertransferential activations will be taught through experiential exercises so that the therapist may have a more in depth understanding of the dissociative patient’s communications. R/D/I strategies will be reviewed and applied to the therapist to limit countertransference activations. Dealing with dissociative enactments are crucial to identify ruptures to the therapeutic alliance, restore attunement and resonance, uncover dissociative messages that can be used during EMDR processing.. Solutions to the problems that occur during different EMDR phases will be taught using lecture, discussion, case examples, written and experiential exercises so that participants will leave the workshop with additional strategies. Solutions include how to maintain attunement to dissociative parts during transferential activations while enhancing dual awareness; how to identify transference and countertransference problems during phases 1-4 and 7-8 and use them as additional sources of dissociated communications that can be used in EMDR processing ; how to use the Clinician Self Awareness Questionnaire to identify and process countertransference problems ; how to use compartmentalization strategies using R/D/I to limit countertransference activations; how to develop self soothing skills for the therapist’s dissociated parts; how and when to use Relational, Empathic, and Transferential Interweaves during Desensitization; and how to identify moments of enactments, and using EMDR strategies to deepen the EMDR experience .

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to illustrate a self-reparation
model within the framework of a supervision conducted my me.
a therapy plan was defined for my colleague whose patent’s
traumatic experience brought to light her own unresolved traumatic
material.
This innovative approach is not limited to the parallel therapy involving
both patient and therapist, but is an intervention model.
a syncletic approach integrating the standard EMDR protocol and
other contributions: the attachment theory. Freud's and Bion's
'dream-work', A, van der Kolk's and 0,van der Hart's dissociative
disorders treatment, Forgash's and Knipe's Ego States Therapy, A.
Shore's affection regulation and self-repair therapy, Eigen's vision
of damaged bonds.
Maternal abandonment was the common traumatic event. The
patient's mother abandoned him at birth in hospital, where
he remained for a year before being institutionalized and then
adopted. My colleague was abandoned by her mother when she
was one year old. The transition from supervision to EMDR was
facilitated by the vast dream material produced by my colleague;
her dreams represented targets for EMDR.
According to Eigen, dream-work addresses the damage inflicted
on the self, thus the traumas experienced, and plays a major role
in digesting the impact of events and in metabolizing emotions:
through the dreams we try to make the indigestible digestible.
Dream-work constantly reveals states of the self: dreams evolve
within damaged bonds and express the psyche's attempts to undo
the damage or to get the best from it.
EMDR shares the same objectives and tools same as dreams.
At an operational level, EMDR made it possible to analyze the
dream material and to integrate the dissociated dream material
related to the traumatic, catastrophic abandonment induced
damage. The Ego States Therapy allowed my colleague to talk
with her dissociated Ego States, to negotiate with the States a
higher behavioural model, and to free her Ego States held hostage
by others.
At the end of this journey, a dream expresses Ego States integration.
Work on the future using EMDR is concluded with these
thoughts "I want to thank you because the supervision, albeit
not therapy, was an important experience that opened up a new
space for me: the space of perspective. The beam of light crossing
the two sheaves in the dream gives a meaning to the supervision,
supervision has created a third dimension in me: the dream within
the dream. It is the vehicle, the skill to perceive this dialogue
space, intersubjective and intrasubjective, where things change.
It alleviates the feeling of being impotent. The dialectical position
enables me to speak. I am very grateful for that."
My colleague's dreams were incorporated in a dream network
and indicate the phases of EMDR induced mental digestion. My
colleague has rebuilt herself in a supervision scenario.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of EMDR in hitherto
unthought-of areas, i.e., within the framework of supervision.
