Abstract:
When EMDR goes at it is suppose to, there is no psychotherapeutic procedure as
remarkable, effective, and efficient for the treatment of trauma based disturbance and
especially PTSD. However, as with all psychotherapy, things do not always go according
to plan and as we might expect. Clients bring a whole range of personality and
relationship issues into therapy that can make progress problematic as well, of course, as
different degrees of disturbance and psychopathology with the most long standing
difficulties and deeper disturbance causing the greatest problems.

2. Emard, P. (1995, June). A brief look at MRI brief therapy. Presentation at the EMDR Network Conference, Santa Monica, CA.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The MRI approach to brief therapy originated out of the serendipitous coming together of several incredibly creative minds that
resulted in a form of psychotherapy in which the major goal was to make psychotherapy more efficient and more effective. It evolved
out of research project on communication begun by anthropologist Gregory Bateson that soon involved the work of hypnotherapist
Milton H. Erickson and psychiatrist Don Jackson. John Weakland, Jay Haley, Paul Watzlawick and Richard Fisch began to publish
the ideas that resulted fiom the early research findings and in doing so developed a particular set of assumptions about the formation
and resolution of human problems that differed significantly from traditional treatment models of the time. Further refinements
through the clinical application of these methods resulted in a model of treatment that was a pioneer of the brief psychotherapy
movement. It is based on a non-normative and non-pathological way of viewing people with problems; it looks at people in the
context of their living situations; it resists the idea of client resistance, it places great emphasis on the use of language; and it seeks
to amplify client assets and resources and minimize client liabilities and shortcomings.
Brief therapists assume a willingness to be an active change agent for the benefit of their clients. They accept responsibility for
creating an atmosphere of respect, patience, and creativity in which clients can find alternative ways to think and behave. They
believe they have a set of tasks to perform that will hopefully result in the resolution or, as a minimum, the diminishment of the
problem situation for which the client originally sought help.
These tasks consist of a combination of ways of thinking and acting that are designed to increase the likelihood that the client will
experience relief from a painful problem. One of the main tasks for a brief therapist is to find ways to construe the problems
presented by the client so that a solution can be found. Brief therapists inquire into the interactional systemic aspects of a problem,
the context or environment in which the problem occurs, the people involved in the problematic situation, and the ways the client has
attempted to resolve the problem thus far.
Another very important task is to identify and gain access to the persons who are the most interested in and willing to work toward
changing the problem situation. The idea here is to spend the bulk of the therapeutic time and effort working with the person who is
most invested in the change process. Brief therapists find ways to appeal to this person's values and belief systems so that (s)he will
engage in activities and/or alter her/his behavior in ways that are likely to change the problem situation.
A third task on which brief therapists concentrate is the establishment of clear, concrete, and doable goals of treatment. They
collaborate with the client to determine what the client hopes to gain from treatment and when the client will know she is ready to
handle life on his/her own, this assumes an emphasis on the client's present and the possibilities for the client's future rather than
his/her past.
The fourth task brief therapists focus on is the development of ways of intervening in the way the presenting problem is being
handled in the present time. This is based on the central assumption that one of the main goals of psychotherapy is to induce
clients to change the way a problem is handled. Such intervening is the result of thoughtful and careful consideration of many factors
surrounding the problem situation and involves the use of a variety of skills.
A final task for the brief therapist is to find ways to remove him/herself from the client's life in such a way that the client has faith in
her/his own ability to function effectively without the therapist.
This treatment model offers clinicians an opportunity to work in positive, goal-directed ways that clients find helpful and therapists
find challenging and satisfying. It calls upon clinicians to develop keen observation skills, the ability to see things fiom a variety of
perspectives, and an appreciation for the vast resources clients bring with them to therapy. While it is a simple model of treatment, it
is by no means an easy one to master. It requires clinicians to step outside their usual frames of reference in the pursuit of creative
solutions to difficult human problems. It rewards them with a greater sense of accomplishment and increased client satisfaction.
In the ever-changing world of mental health, this is no small achievement.

Abstract:
Nos últimos dez anos, as pesquisas sugerem
que o Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático
(TEPT) seja uma desordem de humor, memória e integração somatossensorial. Estudos com
neuroimagens e neuroendocrinologia têm
demonstrado marcadores muito claros desse
transtorno, destacando a compreensão de que o
TEPT seja uma desordem neurobiológica e não o
reflexo de fraqueza psicológica.
Nesta apresentação examinaremos o processo de
formação e consolidação da memória, a
neurobiologia do TEPT e as neuroimagens
correspondentes. A integração dessas três linhas
ilustrarão os efeitos do TEPT sobre a regulação do
humor, memória e integração somatossensorial.
Over the past decade, research suggests
that Post-Traumatic Stressm Disorder
(PTSD) is a disorder of mood, memory and somatosensory integration. Studies with
neuroimaging and neuroendocrinology have
markers demonstrated very clear that
disorder, highlighting the understanding that
PTSD is a neurobiological disorder and not the
reflection of psychological weakness.
In this presentation we will examine the process
formation and consolidation of memory,
neurobiology of PTSD and neuroimaging
corresponding. The integration of these three lines illustrate the effects of PTSD on the regulation of mood, memory and somatosensory integration.

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) has increasingly been proposed as an effective therapeutic procedure for post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health problems. However, views on EMDR in the research literature have been polarized. Reasons for this are explored as is the nature and theoretical basis of EMDR. Fifteen controlled studies thus far published on EMDR and PTSD are reviewed, and it is concluded that (i) EMDR is an effective psychotherapy, (ii) EMDR's relative efficacy in comparison to behavioural exposure therapies has yet to be established, (iii) the role of eye movements and laterality in attentional focus remains controversial and (iv) a direct link between the theoretical basis of the therapy and observable psychological and neurobiological changes has yet to be established.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Prior meta-analyses have suggested that eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) may be effective in alleviating the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). EMDR is now being recommended as a treatment for military combat veterans who suffer from PTSD. We provide a review of published outcome studies that appeared in print from 1987 - April, 2008 which examined the specific effects of EMDR on PTSD among military combat veterans. Studies were identified through electronic bibliographic databases, web sites, and manual searches of article reference lists. A total of six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and three quasi-experimental studies met our inclusionary criteria and are reviewed. The evidence supporting the use of EMDR to treat combat veterans suffering from PTSD is sparse and equivocal, and does not rise to the threshold of labeling the therapy as an empirically supported treatment. It is premature to incorporate EMDR into routine care for veterans to alleviate combat-related PTSD. EMDR needs a considerably stronger evidentiary foundation which includes large-scale RCTs involving credible placebo controlled treatment conditions. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract:
Im vorliegenden Buch beschäftigen sich führende Vertreter der wichtigsten aktuellen psychotherapeutischen Schulen damit, wie EMDR, eine ursprünglich zur Behandlung von PTBS entwickelten Methode, sich mit ihren jeweiligen eigenen Ansätzen verbinden läßt. Die Autoren der einzelnen Beiträge geben Anwendungshinweise und beschreiben anschaulich Techniken für die Behandlung zahlreicher Probleme und Störungen, darunter Depression, Bindungsstörung, soziale Phobie, generalisierte Angststörung, Störung des Körperbildes, Eheprobleme und Existenzangst. Aus der Vielfalt der Sichtweisen schält sich ein Bild der Ähnlichkeiten zwischen den verschiedenen Disziplinen heraus: Es werden Möglichkeiten einer wirksameren Behandlung aufgezeigt, und die durch EMDR eröffneten Möglichkeiten einer integrativen Behandlungsweise werden erkennbar.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
According to Spector and Read (1999), “EMDR is an effective therapeutic procedure. More direct comparisons are needed with exposure therapies which up till now have generally been considered the most effective approaches to PTSD.” They further state that, “Direct comparisons with exposure therapies would be particularly meaningful and revealing if they were compared with EMDR, if the subjects were single trauma PTSD case and if EMDR were applied both with and without bilateral stimulation” (Spector & Read, 1999, the Current Status of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy).
In this presentation, results of a study will be shown in which EMDR was compared with the imaginary exposure procedure. Twenty-five traffic accident victims with trauma complaints were randomly allocated to either EMDR or imaginary exposure. Ten victims received imaginary exposure according to a protocol of Dancu and Foa, 1992 (translated by Arnst, 1997), while ten participants were treated with EMDR based on the PTSD protocol of Shapiro, 1995 (translated by de Jongh, 1996). In the EMDR group, people were exposed to bilateral sounds. The results were compared with an additional group consisting of 5 trauma clients who were exposed to sounds which were simultaneously presented

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Therapeutic Process seems to be blocked for some patients with strong Developmental Disorders or exposed to Disturbing Early Life Experiences (Bessel A. van der Kolk). A specific approach during EMDR Intensive Therapy (EMDRIT) using the Case Conceptualisation (Andrew Leeds), based on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model (Francine Shapiro), the Attachment Theory (John Bowlby) and the Useful and Necessary Renouncement Principe (Judith Viorst) allow those patients to progress.
As a pilot experience, we have been able to use this EMDRIT framework with 64 clients.
Their complex disorders included, for each of them, at least 3 of the following symptoms:
Anxiety, depression, primary structural dissociation, alcohol addiction, eating behaviour disorders, travel phobia, emotional numbing, affective isolation, hypochondria, phantom limb syndrome, fibromyalgia, cancer, psychological or physical abuse survivor, perpetrator of violent aggressions.
For the 25 first clients, we have used the PCL-S (pathology threshold > 44) test. Their pre-treatment average score was 70. It dropped to 28 after EMDRIT treatment, down to 26 after 3 months and stabilised at 29 after 1 year. These first results allowed us to define a target population and an adapted protocol that provides client safety, efficiency and result sustainability. For the 39 next clients, we measured a decrease of the SCL-90-R (pathology threshold > 1,5) test score from 3 before treatment down to 1,4 after treatment, 1,2 after 3 months and 1,3 after 1 year. We measure efficiency on 87% of the clients and a suppression of 80% of the symptoms after 1 year. At the same time, a control cohort of 20 people with identical pathologies saw their score drop from 3 to 2,3 with the same treatment time, using the standard EMDR protocol. From this preliminary result, we are developing some research hypothesis:
•Selection criteria for EMDRIT, based on the patient ability accessing Adaptive Memory Networks (AMN).
•The Targeting Sequence Plan, seen as an expression of the Dysfunctional Memory Networks (DMN).
•The importance of the client emotional Window Of Tolerance (WOT) for the efficiency of the Adaptive Information Processing system.
•Epigenetic show possible structural brain modifications by rehabilitation of fluid links across the 3 levels of the brain (reptilian, limbic and neo-cortical). These changes are immediate and permanent.
•Need to standardize appropriate scale for database, in order to foster international research and results sharing.
We sea AIP model as an opportunity to move from an analytic and sequential approach to a systemic and integrative approach based on Complex System for a global understanding.

Abstract:
John ist Psychotherapeut und arbeitet seit einigen Jahren mit Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung, allerdings betont er mehrfach, dass es sich bei seinen Klienten um mildly retarded clients mit guten sprachlichen Möglichkeiten handelt, das entspricht im Deutschen eher dem Begriff der Lernbehinderung. Er bedauert, dass es nach wie vor die weitverbreitete Annahme gibt, dass Menschen mit psychiatrischen Problemen und einer leichten geistigen Behinderung nicht von Psychotherapie profitieren können oder dass sie allenfalls mit Verhaltenstherapie oder Medikamenten behandelt werden. Dabei hat er selbst die Erfahrung gemacht, dass diese Klienten genauso gut auf EMDR ansprechen, wie andere auch.
John is a psychotherapist and has worked for several years with people with intellectual disabilities, but he repeatedly stressed that it is mildly retarded with his clients to clients with good linguistic possibilities, which corresponds more to the German concept of learning disability. He regrets that it still is the widespread assumption that persons with psychiatric problems and a slight mental disability can benefit from psychotherapy or that they at best treated with behavioral therapy or medications. He himself made the experience that these clients respond as well to EMDR, like any other.

Abstract:
It is vital that EMDR has a strong research base. The ultimate credibility of EMDR will
depend on Randomised Controlled Studies demonstrating the effectiveness of EMDR as a
psychotherapy especially for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Also of importance will be
Component Analysis Studies teasing apart the therapeutically active elements of EMDR.
Research internationally on EMDR has been in two phases. Prior to 1999 the main questions
were whether EMDR was an effective psychotherapy, and what was the value of these eye
movements. From 1999 it is accepted that EMDR is an effective psychotherapy and the
questions now are whether EMDR is more effective than CBT and is its effectiveness because
it is CBT. This paper will trace the history of research into EMDR and address some of the most
commonly asked questions about the validity of EMDR as manifested in the research
literature. Particular attention will be drawn to some new papers about to be published very
significant for EMDR.
Finally some of the papers critical of EMDR will be reviewed also and examined as to their
credibility. There will be opportunities for questions and discussion.

Abstract:
Il presente lavoro esamina le evidenze empiriche a sostegno e contrarie all'EMDR inteso come metodologia terapeutica efficace per il trattamento del Disturbo Da Stress Post Traumatico. Vengono in particolar modo enfatizzati i seguenti aspetti: a) l'EMDR è stato spesso oggetto di forti critiche formulate con un linguaggio eccessivamente emotivo; b) l'EMDR comprende principi terapeutici efficaci e ben conosciuti come l'esposizione, la ristrutturazione cognitiva e le tecniche di auto-controllo; c) non ci sono sufficienti dati empirici per rifiutare o sostenere le basi teoriche dell'EMDR (compreso il ruolo dei movimenti oculari); d) l'EMDR è molto di più che una procedura di esposizione; f) l'EMDR è un trattamento efficace per il Disturbo da Stress Post Traumatico. Ciascuno di questi aspetti viene considerato in dettaglio e le tre ricerche più recenti sull'EMDR vengono attentamente analizzate e commentate.
This paper examines the empirical evidence in support and against all'EMDR understood as effective therapeutic approach for treating post-traumatic stress disorder. Are particularly emphasized the following aspects: a) EMDR has often been the subject of strong criticism in language too emotional, b) EMDR treatment principles include effective and well known as exposure, cognitive restructuring and techniques of self-control, c) there is insufficient empirical data to support or reject the theoretical EMDR (including the role of eye movements) d) EMDR is much more than a process of exposure, f) EMDR is an effective treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Each of these aspects is considered in detail and the three most recent research on EMDR are carefully analyzed and commented.

Little is known about the types of mental health treatment that are most effective for psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) patients who have high rates of comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and dissociation. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has proved to be effective in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety states, dissociative symptoms and somatoform disorders. This study, which utilized a non-controlled qualitative multiple revelatory case design, integrates EMDR into the psychological treatment of PNES patients with confirmed trauma experiences. With EMDR targeting trauma and dissociative symptoms in three patients, PNES were extinguished in two. Those patients have remained seizure-free for 12-18 months.

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), also called by some EMD or EMD/R, is a relatively new therapeutic procedure. This therapeutically beneficial procedure was originally designed and envisaged for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by Dr. Francine Shapiro (Shapiro, 1989, a,b). Various subsequent studies showed that -4 sessions (ach of ½ to 2 hrs duration) of EMDR are effective in significantly reducing the traumatic memories and associated anxiety to negligible levels (Lipke & Botkin, 1992; Shapiro, 1989 a,b; Spector & Huthwaite, 1993). There are, however, scanty reports of lack of treatment outcome with EMDR which has been explained by the client’s lack of cooperation in following the procedure or the therapist’s lack of experience (Lipke & Botkin, 1992). Similar reports are available with many other effective therapeutic procedures including clinical hypnosis (CH), mainly where there is “fear of failure” or “anxiety to succeed” present in the client’s mind, in addition to lack of experience of the therapist (Hartland, 1982).

Abstract:
By the time that vietnam veteran Jerry Smith (not his real name) found his way to psychologist John Black at the Veterans Administration North Texas Health Care System in Dallas in the fall of 1995, he was an absolute mess. In and out of the V.A. system since 1976 suffering from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), he had tried various medications and sat through hours of conventional therapy to no avail. He was an unemployable shut-in: Driving anywhere or visiting the mall—being in any crowd, in fact—made him anxious. He was tormented by sleep terrors, meaning he would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. And he was so morose that in the previous year he had checked into the V.A. center ten times, five for attempting or considering suicide.
The V.A. first tackled 53-year-old Smith’s drinking problem in the center’s substance-abuse ...

Abstract:
"This book pioneers the integration of EMDR with ego state techniques and opens new and exciting vistas for the practitioners of each." --From the foreword by John G. Watkins, PhD, founder of ego state therapy
"This is a book about polypsychism and trauma. It offers a number of creative syntheses of EMDR with several models of polypsychism. It also surveys and includes many other models of contemporary trauma theory and treatment techniques. The reader will appreciate its enrichment with case examples and very generous bibliographic material. If you are a therapist who works with patients who have been traumatized, you will want this book in your library." --Claire Frederick, MD, Distinguished Consulting Faculty, Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center
"Training in EMDR seems to have spread rapidly among therapists in recent years. In the process, awareness is growing that basic EMDR training may not be adequate to prepare clinicians to effectively treat the many cases of complex trauma and dissociation that are likely to be encountered in general practice. By integrating it with ego state therapy, this book may just serve as a crucial turning point in the development of EMDR by providing a model for productively applying it to the treatment of this important and sizeable clinical population." --Steven N. Gold, PhD, President Elect, APA Division of Trauma
The powerful benefits of EMDR in treating PTSD have been solidly validated. In this groundbreaking new work nine master clinicians show how complex PTSD involving dissociation and other challenging diagnoses can be treated safely and effectively. They stress the careful preparation of clients for EMDR and the inclusion of ego state therapy to target the dissociated ego states that arise in response to severe and prolonged trauma. [Springer]

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
This article presents the well established theoretical base and clinical practice of exposure therapy for trauma. Necessary requirements for positive treatment results and contraindicated procedures are reviewed. EMDR is contrasted with these requirements and procedures. By the definitions and clinical practice of exposure therapy, the classification of EMDR poses some problems. As seen from the exposure therapy paradigm, its lack of physiological habituation and use of spontaneous association should result in negligible or negative effects rather than the well researched positive outcomes.

Abstract:
United Kingdom military personnel have been involved in the recent Iraq war. While fatalities and casualties were relatively light compared to other conflicts historically, individual incidents can, nevertheless, have a lasting impact on individuals who witness them or are involved. Subsequent wars, though not participated in, can lead to a recurrence of damage. In this case study, the authors illustrate the use of scripted exposure and EMDR in the treatment of John, an English veteran of the Korean War who presented with PTSD. Scripted exposure involves the patient keeping a written record of their most intrusive and distressing thoughts and feelings. [Author Abstract]

Chairs: Sack M. & Spector J.
My focus today is on the etiology of the trauma-based predisposition to OCD.
I would like to demonstrate how the obsessive-compulsive disorder serves the dissociative adult as a MASK thereby maintaining the hidden status of both the traumatic memories, and the dissociation;
and finally I would like to demonstrate how EMDR can be used to target the OCD as an ego state to uncover the dissociated parts, the anxiety and the original trauma.
I would like to share with you some thoughts and examples from my clinic in the form of these goals, which you will find in your handouts:...[Author abstract]

Abstract:
La investigación realizada en los laboratorios orientada a aclarar los procesos de la memoria en el hombre han mostrado de manera coherente que la memoria es un proceso activo y constructivo: la mente está reensamblando de manera constante las antiguas impresiones, agregándolas a la nueva información. Los recuerdos no son considerados como hechos precisos sino que son transformados en relatos que nos contamos a nosotros mismos y a los demás, con el fin de transmitir una narración coherente de nuestra experiencia en el mundo. En raras ocasiones genera nuestra mente imágenes, olores, sensaciones o acciones musculares precisas que reproduzcan exactamente experiencias previas. De hecho, los más renombrados investigadores de la memoria tales como Elizabeth Loftus, Dan Schachter y John Kihlstrom niegan de manera enfática que la mente sea capaz de reproducir de manera precisa las improntas de experiencias previas.
Research conducted in laboratories oriented to clarify the processes of memory in humans have consistently shown that memory is an active and constructive process: the mind is constantly reassembling the old prints, adding to the new information. The memories are not considered precise facts that are transformed into stories we tell ourselves and others, to convey a coherent narrative of our experience in the world. On rare occasions our mind creates images, smells, feelings or actions that reproduce exactly precise muscle experiences. In fact, the best known memory researchers such as Elizabeth Loftus, Dan Schachter and John Kihlstrom emphatically deny that the mind is able to accurately reproduce the imprints of past experiences.

It is suggested that their paper does not adequately review the available research data and, therefore, draws unwarranted conclusions. Based on published controlled studies it is concluded that there is evidence to support the use of EMDR in the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Language: English

Abstract:
Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a disorder characterized by controversy,
both with respect to its definition and its treatment. By definition, the RAD diagnosis
attempts to characterize and explain the origin of certain troubling behaviors in children.
The RAD diagnosis presumes that “pathogenic care” of a young child can result in an
array of markedly disturbed behaviors in social interactions and poor attachments to
caregivers and others. (See full definition in the body of this report). The RAD diagnosis
derives from the attachment theories of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. Several
authors question whether RAD is a valid diagnostic category, citing the overlap of
symptoms with Pervasive Developmental Disorder and other disorders, the inconsistent
connection to attachment theory, and the lack of empirical validation.

Abstract:
Objetivo: Traçar um paralelo entre os aspectos de vida na infância e na fase adulta de um caso clínico, com base na Teoria do Apego de John Bowlby e enfoque na modalidade de apego inseguro e ambivalente. Este pode muitas vezes levar o indivíduo a produzir um vínculo disfuncional e antiprodutivo consigo mesmo. Método: Apresentar o caso clínico para ilustrar e enriquecer os aspectos teóricos abordados, comparando atitudes e comportamentos no passado e no presente. A tendência destrutiva da paciente lugar a pensamentos construtivos e transformações em sua vida, depois do tratamento com a técnica de EMDR, passando por todas as fases do protocolo desenvolvido por Francine. Resultado: O caso nos mostra melhora significativa no quadro de depressão recorrente seguida de somatização e tentativas de suicídio. Atualmente, podemos dizer que essa paciente não apresenta pensamentos destrutivos nem comportamento suicida. Conclusão: Os bons resultados obtidos com intervenções psicológicas focadas em trauma e memória dessas imagens, principalmente nos primeiros anos de vida, nos fazem pensar seriamente no aprofundamento e na utilização da técnica do EMDR. Essa nova abordagem pode beneficiar de modo marcante pessoas que sofrem dor psíquica constante.
Objective: To establish a parallel between aspects of life in childhood and adulthood of a case, based on Attachment Theory John Bowlby and focus on the type of insecure attachment and ambivalent. This can often cause the individual to produce a bond dysfunctional and counterproductive himself. Method: To present a case to illustrate and enrich the theoretical aspects discussed, comparing attitudes and behaviors in the past and present. The destructive tendency of the patient to place thoughts and constructive changes in your life, after treatment with the technique of EMDR, through all phases of the protocol developed by Francine. Result: The case shows significant improvement in the context of recurrent depression and somatization then attempted suicide. Currently, we can say that this patient has no destructive thoughts or suicidal behavior. Conclusion: Good results with psychological interventions focused on trauma and memory of these images, especially early in life, make us think seriously about stepping in and using the technique of EMDR. This new approach may benefit markedly from those suffering psychic pain constantly.

Abstract:
El Instituto de Psicotrauma de Alicante en colaboración con los Servicios Sociales de
diversos Ayuntamientos de la Comunidad Valenciana aplican desde 2009 un protocolo de intervención para madres víctimas de violencia de género, basado en las técnicas de desensibilización y reprocesamiento a través del movimiento de los ojos, EMDR© (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), teorías del apego ( John Bowlby) y teoría de la disociación estructural de la personalidad (Ono Van der Hart)
Los resultados observados en una muestra de 15 madres y sus hijos de 4 a 16 años
indican una desaparición de los cuadros clínicos de estrés postraumático y depresión, la
remisión de los problemas de conducta concomitantes (desobediencia, agresividad) y una
mejora del vínculo afectivo con la madre.
El protocolo de intervención consta de 5 fases: evaluación, psicoeducación, tratamiento, prevención de recaídas y seguimiento
La evaluación consta de sendas entrevistas clínicas y la administración de la Escala
de Ansiedad Manifiesta en Niños (CMAS‐R), la Escala de Gravedad de Síntomas del Estrés
Postraumático, el Test del Dibujo de la Familia (niñ@s menores de 6 años) y el cuestionario para la evaluación de adoptantes (CUIDA). El tratamiento consiste en la instalación de recursos con la madre y reprocesamiento con EMDR a lo largo de 20 sesiones trabajando con los recuerdos traumáticos de la madre y el menor asociados a la violencia vivida en la familia. El
reprocesamiento del niño se hace junto a la madre.
El formato de tratamiento es intensivo con 5 sesiones de terapia semanal durante 4
semanas. El 100% de los menores y las mujeres atendidas experimentaron la remisión de sus
síntomas de ansiedad y en el 80% de los casos desaparecieron sus problemas de conducta
en el entorno familiar y escolar. Además se observó que el tipo de apego había cambiado al
final de tratamiento.

The results of a sample of 15 mothers and their children aged 4 to 16 years
indicate a disappearance of clinical PTSD and depression,
remission of comorbid conduct problems (disobedience, aggression) and a
improvement bond with the mother.
The intervention protocol consists of 5 phases: assessment, psychoeducation,
treatment, relapse prevention and monitoring
The assessment consists of separate clinical interviews and administration of the Scale
in Children's Manifest Anxiety (CMAS-R), the Symptom Severity Scale Stress
Posttraumatic Drawing Test Family (children 's children under 6 years) and
questionnaire for the assessment of adopters (CARE).
Treatment involves the installation of resources with the mother and
EMDR reprocessing over 20 sessions working with the memories traumatic mother and child associated with violence experienced domestically. The reprocessing of the child is with the mother. The format is intensive treatment with 5 sessions of weekly therapy for 4
weeks. 100% of children and women treated experienced remission of their
anxiety symptoms and 80% of cases behavioral problems disappeared in the family and school. We observed that the attachment classification was changed to end of treatment.

Abstract:
Muchos autores, de diversas orientaciones, se han interesado en indagar, entender y explicar las consecuencias psíquicas y biológicas que padece un sujeto que ha estado expuesto a traumas psíquicos tempranos.
Tomaré ideas de John Bowlby, quien ha desarrollado la noción de apego y las vicisitudes de su perturbación ligándolos a traumas tempranos.
Vincularé estas nociones con las posibilidades terapéuticas que brinda el EMDR (Desensibilización y reprocesamiento por los movimientos oculares) en los cuadros clínicos que llevan implícitos estos traumas.
El patrón de apego del niño es afectado cuando padece un traumatismo temprano. Pierden la confianza en su capacidad de cuidarse, aferrándose ansiosamente a alguien o se desapegan patológicamente. En 1950, Bowlby J. estuvo vinculado seis meses con la OMS, y en 1951 publicó Cuidado maternal y salud mental.
A partir de 1957 se interesó en los enfoques que lo condujeron a proponer la Teoría del Apego en el intento de definir “la naturaleza del vínculo que une al niño con su madre”, lo que lo llevó a iniciar una revisión desgarradora de los lazos humanos.
Many authors, from different directions, are often interested in investigating, understanding and explaining the biological and psychological consequences suffered by a subject who has been exposed to early psychic traumas.
I'll have ideas of John Bowlby, who developed the notion of attachment and the vicissitudes of his disturbance linking them to early trauma.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Despite its prevalence and potential impact on functioning, there are surprisingly little data regarding the treatment responsiveness of travel phobia. The purpose of this non-randomized study was to evaluate the usefulness of a trauma-focused treatment approach for travel phobia, or milder travel anxiety arising as a result of a road traffic accident. Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing were used to treat a sample of 184 patients, who were referred to a psychological rehabilitation provider. Patients in both treatment groups were encouraged to encounter their feared objects and situations between sessions. Specific (i.e., travel) phobia was diagnosed in 57% of cases. Patients in both treatment conditions showed equally large, and clinically significant, decreases in symptoms as indexed by three validated measures (Impact of Event Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and General Health Questionnaire), therapist ratings of treatment outcome, and a return to driving or travelling by car or motorbike. These improvements were obtained within an average course of 7.3 sessions of 1 hour each. Patients with travel phobia responded with a greater reduction of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms than those with milder travel anxiety. Passengers reported higher levels of trauma symptoms than drivers, but no difference in effectiveness of treatment was found between these groups. The results suggest that trauma-focused psychological interventions can be a treatment alternative for patients with travel anxiety. Given the seriousness of the clinical problems related to road traffic accidents more rigorous outcome research is warranted and needed. Copyright (c) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Key Practitioner Message: As the literature on the treatment of travel phobia is largely limited to small-n studies, this is the largest naturalistic outcome study of the treatment of patients with fear and avoidance of travel, subsequent to a traumatic event, to date. Travel phobia following road traffic accidents should be regarded as a treatable psychological condition requiring a limited number of sessions. In a significant minority of cases the condition is unlikely to remit spontaneously, potentially disrupting occupational, social and personal adjustment. Besides a purely exposure, in vivo-based approach, a mainly trauma-focused approach, such as imagery exposure or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, can be an effective intervention for both travel phobia and milder forms of travel anxiety, and for both drivers and passengers.
