Language: English

Format: Journal

Abstract:
Therapists who are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (Shapiro, 1995) may try using the Creating Context Technique when a client is not stable enough for EMDR or when a client is unwilling to try EMDR. An example will be presented to demonstrate the use of the technique with a typical problem.

Language: English

Format: Journal

Abstract:
Problem: Adverse childhood experiences have been found to be a strong predictor of emotional and physical problems in adulthood. However, the long-term sequelae for children who have suffered critical illness and exposure to invasive medical procedures are less well documented. Methods: This is a case study of an adult client who sought treatment for depression and attention deficit disorder. The psychotherapy treatment is discussed and the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is described targeting a memory of a medical trauma resulting from a tonsillectomy when the client was 8 years old. Conclusions: Significant healing outcomes were attained as a result of the therapy, i.e., decreased depression, less hypervigilance, and increased ability to concentrate, which resulted in the discontinuation of medication for depression and ADHD as well as significant improvement in overall functioning.

Language: English

Format: Journal

Abstract:
Violence and aggression in the workplace is an increasing international concern. No studies have yet determined the most efficacious psychotherapeutic strategies to alleviate the consequences of workplace violence, and none have identified interventions that might fortify workers who are repeatedly exposed to danger. This case series describes the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment of seven bank employees and one transportation worker who suffered repeated acute traumatization. The Impact of Events Scale, the Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome 10-Questions Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory were used to measure changes in symptom severity. Results showed that EMDR effectively reduced symptoms and may provide a possible protective buffer in situations of ongoing workplace violence.

Abstract:
For skeptics, Wheeler points to the research. She indicates that more than 27 randomized clinical trials have shown EMDR to be effective for PTSD and adds that the American Psychiatric Association, the Veterans Administration Department of Defense (VA-DOD) and many other national and international practice guidelines have approved EMDR as a Level A treatment for this disorder. “A Kaiser Permanente study found that after six sessions, 100 percent with a single trauma and 77 percent with multiple trauma events no longer had PTSD,” she says. “This is a well researched treatment and compares favorably to other treatments for PTSD. It’s good to be skeptical, but people should read the research.”

6. Wheeler, K. (2009, August). Integrating outcome measurement and EMDR research into your practice. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Atlanta, GA.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Outcome measurement in practice is critically important in determining the ‘value’ of EMDR to clients, insurers, policymakers, the general public and ourselves. This presentation will provide the EMDR clinician with guidelines about the what, who, when and how to incorporate outcome measurement into one’s own practice using a time-series case study design. Comparing the client’s own scores at different points in time to themselves is considered a bona fide research design that makes an empirically valid case study worthy of publication. Resources and opportunities available to the budding EMDR researcher are examined.

Journal of EMDR Practice and Research, 6(4), 46E-63E. doi:10.1891/1933-3196.6.4.46.

Language: French

Format: Journal

Abstract:
Cet article évalue et illustre l’application du protocole de l’épisode traumatique récent (R-TEP : recenttraumatic episode protocol) avec trois clients différents : un enfant atteint d’une maladie chronique, une femme ayant subi une perte importante et un adolescent qui s’automutilait. Le R-TEP est une adaptation du protocole EMDR pour l’intervention EMDR précoce. Les séances sont présentées de manière détaillée afin de souligner les changements qui se produisent au niveau du traitement de l’information au cours de la thérapie. Des marqueurs observés identifiés ont permis d’analyser le déroulement du traitement, incluant la distanciation vis-à-vis du trauma ; la diminution des affects négatifs ou le changement des émotions rapportées ; l’accès à des informations plus adaptatives ; des changements au niveau de l’échelle des unités subjectives de perturbation (SUDS : Subjective Units of Disturbance scale) ; l’échelle de validité de la cognition (Validity of Cognition) et l’échelle révisée d’impact de l’événement (Impact of Event Scale––Revised) indiquant des modifications de la perception du souvenir traumatique. Tous les clients ont montré des gains thérapeutiques pré/post du R-TEP, avec des changements au niveau du comportement et du fonctionnement. Les soubassements du R-TEP sont envisagés à la lumière des observations rapportées. La contribution spécifique du protocole est soulignée en considération de ses composants procéduraux et des mécanismes de changement associés plausibles.

This article evaluates and illustrates the application of the protocol recent traumatic episode (R-PET: recenttraumatic episode protocol) with three different clients: a child with a chronic illness, woman who suffered a major loss and a teenager who automutilait. The R-TEP is an adaptation EMDR protocol for early EMDR intervention. The sessions are presented in detail to highlight the changes that occur in the processing of information during therapy. Observed identified markers were used to analyze the course of treatment, including distance vis-à-vis the trauma, decrease negative affect or change reported emotions; access to information more adaptive, changes at scale subjective units of disturbance (SUDS: Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale) scale validity of cognition (Validity of Cognition) and the revised scale of impact of the event (Impact of Event Scale - Revised) indicating changes in the perception of the traumatic memory. all customers have shown therapeutic gains pre / post R-TEP, with changes in behavior and functioning. The foundations of the R-TEP are considered in the light of reported sightings. The specific contribution of the protocol is emphasized in view of its procedural components and related plausible mechanisms of change.

Language: English

Format: Journal

Abstract:
Purpose: The Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP), originally developed by Shapiro, provides a model for understanding how trauma affects the brain and how healing occurs. Conclusions: The effects of trauma are thought to be much broader than the diagnosis of PTSD and overlap with many other diagnostic categories. Recent physiological research supports the complexity of neurobiological responses to childhood stress and trauma. Practice Implications: The Treatment Hierarchy, AIP model, and evidence-based treatment framework presented here provide the context and a compass for holistic PMH-APRN practice for working with traumatized patients.

Language: English

Format: Journal

Abstract:
This article evaluates and illustrates the application of the recent-traumatic episode protocol (R-TEP) with three diverse clients: a child with chronic illness, a woman with a significant loss, and an adolescent who self-harmed. The R-TEP is an adaptation of the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) protocol for early EMDR intervention. Sessions are presented in detail to highlight the shifts in information processing that occur during treatment. Observed markers used to analyze the flow of processing are identified, which include distancing from the trauma; reduction in negative affect or change in reported emotions; accessing more adaptive information; changes in the Subjective Units of Disturbance scale; and the Validity of Cognition scale and Impact of Event Scale--Revised indicating shifts in perception of the traumatic memory. Pre-post R-TEP treatment gains were noted for all clients, with changes in behavior and functioning. Theoretical underpinnings of the R-TEP are discussed with respect to the reported observations. The specific contribution of the protocol is highlighted, considering its procedural components and related plausible mechanisms of change.

Abstract:
Despite a high percentage of soldiers with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the increasing rates of suicide, the Department of Defense has failed to research one of the most effective and widely recognized trauma treatments, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is included as a first line treatment for PTSD in numerous national and international practice guidelines as well as in the Veterans Administration/Department of Defense's (VA/DoD) own Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Post-Traumatic Stress (2010). See EMDR research and practice guidelines at the website below. [Excerpt]

Abstract:
“The pain that I was in was so severe, I was crying 18 hours a day,” said Kate Keleher, referring to the effects of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder on her life. That was before she discovered Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) treatment, a comprehensive therapy for PTSD that uses horizontal eye movements or other repetitive and bi‐lateral stimulation such as auditory tones or tapping during sessions. Bi‐lateral means both eyes, both ears or both hands receive the same stimulation.
