Language: English
Format: Book Section
Abstract: Observing that there has been a rapid increase in the number of practitioners trained in both eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and the energy psychotherapies, the authors describe ways to combine these modalities to increase their effectiveness. Topics include correcting psychological reversals prior to initiating and during EMDR; muscle testing with EMDR; EMDR along with energy therapies to limit the severity and disruption of abreaction, dissociation, "looping," and blocking beliefs; treatment of addiction; using one method to further client receptivity to use of the other; self-use of EMDR and the energy techniques; and, among others, energy training for paraprofessional crisis teams for use in residential programs with EMDR clients.

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is a recently developed technique that has been reported in the literature to be effective in treating many of the symptoms associated with PTSD. This study investigated the role of saccadic eye movements in this technique by utilizing a multiple-baseline, across subjects design with 4 adult victims of childhood sexual abuse.Eye movement desensitization conditions (EMD) were compared to non saccadic eye movement conditions (NM) utilizing a Latin square design over one treatment session. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID-R) and the PTSD module of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III (SCID) were used for initial diagnosis and screening. Treatment effectiveness between the intervention phase and 1 week follow-up was assessed using the Impact of Event Scale (IES) and the PTSD Symptom Checklist. Skin conductance response (SCR), heart rate, and subjective units of distress (SUDS) were assessed during pretreatment, treatment, posttreatment, and follow-up phases. Results showed no significant differences across subjects among SCR, heart rate, and SUDS between the EMD and NM conditions. IES and PTSD Symptom Checklist follow-up data showed symptom improvement for 3 of the 4 subjects. One subject's intrusive symptoms worsened. All subjects displayed less physiological reactivity to the traumatic imagery at follow-up. Mechanisms that contribute to the effectiveness of EMD and recommendations for future study were discussed.

Abstract:
It is also true that there are at least three relatively new therapies widely practised in North America which can help expedite relief for PTSD sufferers. These therapies are: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro; Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) developed by Frank A. Gerbode, M.D.; and even a Christian version, TheoPhostic Ministry (TPM) developed by Dr. Ed Smith.

Abstract:
Ann Norris first went to see Laguna Beach psychologist Doug Sawin in 1988. She had recently graduated from college with a degree in music and suffered from insomnia and drank alcohol to sleep. But it was her relationship with her mother, Judy, that troubled her most. After Ann's triumphant college graduation vocal recital, Judy hadn't even congratulated her. Two days later, Judy had called and angrily attacked Ann over the phone until Ann cried.
It was the kind of issue that a good family or individual therapist might have addressed by building on Ann's obvious strengths, teaching her to contain and manage her feelings, and coaching her to develop a better relationship with her mother. But Sawin instead focussed intensely on the past. Ann soon had memories of her father sexually abusing her, and later of elaborate cultic abuse, which her three siblings didn't come close to corroborating. She was hospitalized after attempting suicide, and Sawin bluntly told her father, Al, over the phone, of Ann's charges Al collapsed in tears.
Over the years, Ann drew closer to Sawin while her relations with her family and her own mental state grew more troubled. She was diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder and, with Sawin's support, sued her parents and grandparents for $20 million. She spent six years in therapy with Sawin She now describes psychiatric hospitals where she still stays periodically because she cuts and burns herself as her "institutional mothers." She has not spoken to her true mother in six years. And she no longer sings.
It doesn't take a PhD in psychology or a seat on a state licensing board to see that Ann is worse off than when she entered therapy. Millions of nontherapists undoubtedly made just such an assessment when Ann, her therapist and her family told their stories before millions of prime-time viewers on "Divided Memories," a four-hour PBS Frontline documentary screened in early May.
In her wide-ranging investigation of therapy, sexual abuse and memory, producer Ofra Bikel used as her primary subject families divided by recovered memories of abuse. She also managed to persuade nearly half a dozen therapists to do therapy while her camera was running. It was a remarkable event, in which all of America was invited behind the one-way mirror to see therapy in action in the midst of its most divisive controversy and to judge it for themselves.

Abstract:
L’EMDR inoltre progredisce su altri due versanti: da un lato incorpora al suo interno spunti teorici ed applicativi provenienti da diversi paradigmi psicoterapeutici allo scopo di potenziare l’efficacia e la flessibilità (Shapiro, 1995); dall’altro lato, si cerca di applicare il metodo a disturbi che vanno oltre al PTSD. Attualmente nei differenti paesi del mondo le persone che hanno effettuato un training organizzato dall’EMDR Institute sono circa 30.000.In Italia i primi corsi sull’EMDR sono stati condotti nel febbraio 1999 e sono attualmente coordinati dall’Associazione EMDR Italia, a sua volta riconosciuta e patrocinata dalla EMDR Europe (Giannantonio, 2000). L’associazione ha sede a Milano e dispone di un sito internet: www.emdritalia.it.
Il dibattito sull’efficacia di questo metodo è tuttora aperto e sono numerose e contrastanti le ricerche che si sono svolte su questo argomento. La questione ha assunto a tratti i toni dello scontro ideologico e sono subentrati anche problemi di carattere commerciale, un metodo che si propone come più efficace e più rapido nella terapia di alcuni disturbi psicologici non può non essere valutato come un rivale, soprattutto in una realtà come quella del Nord America dove le spese per la psicoterapia sono pagate dalle assicurazioni (Giannantonio, 2000).
L’EMDR è uno dei metodi che vanta il maggior numero di conferme sperimentali nella psicoterapia del PTSD. Questo gli ha consentito nel 1995 di essere considerata “trattamento probabilmente efficace” (valutazione A/B) nella terapia del PTSD dalla Task Force on Psychological Intervention dell’American Psychological Association. Questa valutazione di efficacia è uguagliata solo dallo Stress Inoculation Training e dalle terapie basate sull’esposizione (Chambless et al., 1998).
Gli studi prodotti sull’efficacia dell’EMDR sono numerosi (per una rassegna vedi Giannantonio, 2000), molti sono criticabili perché mal strutturati e con grossi problemi di validità. Esistono tuttavia una serie di studi ben organizzati che si sono dimostrati inattaccabili sul piano metodologico...
Questi studi tuttavia commettono uno o più dei seguenti problemi:
1) Impiegano una o due sedute di EMDR con reduci del Vietnam forse anche a causa dell’equivoco suscitato dalla stessa Shapiro (1989) che riferiva risultati importanti nei confronti del PTSD con una sola seduta di EMDR nel 100% dei soggetti. Una tale concezione dell’EMDR non è quella più attuale e condivisa (Shapiro, 1995).
2) Trattano con l’EMDR solo uno o due episodi traumatici in soggetti che devono essere considerati “pluritraumatizzati” (Shapiro, 1999).
La presente Tesi è divisa in due parti: nella prima di carattere essenzialmente bibliografico ho analizzato la letteratura esistente sull’EMDR e sul PTSD.
Nel secondo capitolo descriverò il Disturbo Post-Traumatico da Stress analizzando i vari approcci teorici al problema del trauma.
Nel terzo capitolo verrà analizzata la teoria dell’EMDR ovvero il modello esplicativo ritenuto più adeguato che fa riferimento alla “elaborazione accelerata dell’informazione”.
Il quarto capitolo, che conclude la prima parte, riporta il protocollo standard di somministrazione dell’EMDR per adulti e adolescenti.
Nella seconda parte viene riportata la descrizione della ricerca che si sta producendo in collaborazione con l’EMDR Italia che si propone di valutare l’efficacia dell’EMDR. Nel quinto capitolo viene descritto il disegno sperimentale. Nel sesto capitolo viene analizzato il metodo di campionamento e i presupposti di validità della ricerca. Nel settimo capitolo sono descritti i test che si è deciso di analizzare nel corso della presente tesi. Infine l’ottavo capitolo si concentra sull’analisi dei primi dati emersi dalla ricerca e sulle prime conclusioni.

EMDR also progressing on two other fronts: on the one hand it incorporates theoretical insights and applications from different psychotherapeutic paradigms in order to enhance the effectiveness and flexibility (Shapiro, 1995), on the other hand, it tries to apply the method to problems that go beyond PTSD.
Currently in different countries of the world, people who have a training organized dall'EMDR Institute 30.000.In Italy are about the first courses on EMDR have been conducted in February 1999 and is currently coordinated by the Association EMDR Italy, in turn recognized and sponsored by the EMDR Europe (Giannantonio, 2000). The association is based in Milan and has a website: www.emdritalia.it.
The debate on the effectiveness of this method is still open and they are many and conflicting research that took place on this topic. The issue has assumed at times the tone of the ideological battle and were replaced also problems of a commercial nature, a method is proposed as a more effective and faster in the treatment of certain psychological disorders can not be assessed as a rival, especially in a situation such as North America where the cost of psychotherapy are paid by insurance (Giannantonio, 2000).
EMDR is one of the methods which has the highest number of experimental confirmation in psychotherapy for PTSD. This enabled him in 1995 to be considered "probably efficacious treatment" (rated A / B) in the treatment of PTSD by the Task Force on Psychological Intervention of the American Psychological Association. This assessment of effectiveness is equaled only by the stress inoculation training and exposure-based therapies (Chambless et al., 1998).
Studies on the effectiveness of EMDR are numerous products (for review see Giannantonio, 2000), many are questionable because poorly structured and serious problems of validity. There are however a number of well-organized studies that have proven resistant in terms of methodology:
......
These studies, however, have committed one or more of the following problems:
1) They use one or two sessions of EMDR with Vietnam veterans possibly because of misunderstanding caused by the same Shapiro (1989) who reported significant results against PTSD with a single session of EMDR in 100% of subjects. Such a conception of EMDR is not the most current and shared (Shapiro, 1995).
2) They deal with EMDR only one or two traumatic events in people who should be considered "pluritraumatizzati" (Shapiro, 1999).
This thesis is divided into two parts: the first character essentially bibliographic I analyzed the existing literature on EMDR and PTSD.
In the second chapter I will describe the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder analyzing the various theoretical approaches to the problem of trauma.
In the third chapter we will analyze the theory of EMDR or the explanatory model deemed more appropriate that refers to the "accelerated processing of information."
The fourth chapter, which concludes the first part shows the standard protocol of administration of EMDR for adults and adolescents.
In the second part shows the description of the research that is being produced in collaboration with the EMDR Italy that aims to assess the effectiveness of EMDR. In the fifth chapter describes the experimental design. In the sixth chapter analyzes the sampling method and the conditions for validity of the research. In the seventh chapter describes the tests it was decided to analyze the course of this thesis. Finally, the eighth chapter will focus on early evidence from research and initial findings.

Abstract:
Voor de behandeling van de posttraumatische stress stoornis (PTSS) bestaan er
twee behandelmethoden waarvan de werkzaamheid voldoende is aangetoond:
gedragstherapie (imaginaire exposure) en Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) (de Jongh en ten Broeke, 2003). EMDR is in Amerika
door Shapiro ontdekt en ontwikkeld. In de 90’er jaren is deze
behandelmethode in Nederland geïntroduceerd. Oorspronkelijk is het een vorm
van psychotherapie voor volwassenen. In Amerika zijn onder anderen Lovett,
Tinker en Wilson begonnen om EMDR ook bij kinderen toe te passen. Het
eerste onderzoek naar de behandeling van kinderen met EMDR is in 1996
gepubliceerd door Chemtob (Lovett, 1999).
Inmiddels zijn er in Nederland verschillende artikelen geschreven over de
toepassing van EMDR bij kinderen (de Roos en Beer, 2003; Beer en de Roos,
2004). EMDR kan goed bij schoolgaande kinderen gebruikt worden. Er wordt
dan gewerkt met het kinderprotocol. Adolescenten, pubers en lagere
schoolkinderen worden nu vaak met EMDR behandeld als er sprake is van
PTSS. De toepassing bij peuters is minder bekend.
Hoe jonger het kind des te sneller therapeuten geneigd zijn om niet met het
kind zelf te werken. Dikwijls wordt dan volstaan met ouderbegeleiding.
Ouders krijgen adviezen hoe zij hun kind kunnen helpen bij de verwerking van
het trauma. Naast de ouderbegeleiding krijgt het kind zelf vaak helemaal geen
behandeling, terwijl behandeling van het kind wel datgene is waar ouders om
vragen. Het kind behandelen werkt directer en waarschijnlijk ook efficiënter en
effectiever.
Bij kinderen onder de vier jaar zijn een heleboel elementen uit het EMDR
protocol niet uitvoerbaar. Toch is het heel goed mogelijk om EMDR ook bij de
allerkleinsten te gebruiken, namelijk door middel van de “storytelling”
techniek van Lovett (1999). De hulp en inzet van ouders is daarbij een vereiste.
In dit artikel wordt deze techniek beschreven aan de hand van een
gevalsbeschrijving van een jongetje van drie jaar, Tommy. Het artikel begint
met een uiteenzetting van de voorgeschiedenis van de casus. Daarna wordt
aangegeven welke elementen van het EMDR protocol aangepast moeten
worden bij peuters en wordt de “storytelling” techniek, oftewel de verhalenmethode, beschreven. Dan volgt een weergave van het verhaal dat de
ouders van Tommy met behulp van de therapeut voor hem schreven.
Vervolgens wordt de behandeling van Tommy beschreven. Het artikel eindigt
met een conclusie.
For the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), there
two treatments for which efficacy has been adequately demonstrated:
behavioral therapy (imaginal exposure) and Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) (de Jongh and Ten Broeke, 2003). EMDR in America
discovered and developed by Shapiro. In the 90's, this
treatment method introduced in the Netherlands. It was originally a form
of psychotherapy for adults. In America, among others Lovett,
Tinker and Wilson began to EMDR in children applying. The
first research on the treatment of children with EMDR in 1996
published by Chemtob (Lovett, 1999).
There are now several articles on the Netherlands
use of EMDR in children (de Roos and Beer, 2003, Bear and Rose,
2004). EMDR may well be used in school children. It is
then worked with the children's protocol. Adolescents, adolescents and lower
school children are now often treated with EMDR when there is
PTSD. The application in toddlers is less known.
The younger the child the faster therapists tend not to
child to work. Often parent guidance are sufficient.
Parents get advice on how they can help their child in the processing of
the trauma. Besides the parent guidance, the child itself is often no
treatment, while treatment of the child does what is true for parents
questions. The child works deal more directly and probably more efficient and
effective.
In children under four years are a lot of elements from the EMDR
protocol is not feasible. Yet it is quite possible to EMDR also in
toddlers to use, namely through the storytelling
technique of Lovett (1999). The help and commitment of parents is a prerequisite.
This article describes the technique using a
case report of a boy of three years, Tommy. The article begins
with an account of the history of the case. Then
identifying the elements of the EMDR protocol adapted to
are young children and the storytelling technique, or the stories method described. Then follows a representation of the story that
Tommy's parents by the therapist wrote for him.
Then the treatment of Tommy described. The article ends
with a conclusion.

Abstract:
The EMDR Integrative Group Treatment protocol (EMDR-IGTP) has been used in different parts of the world since 1998 with both adults and children after natural or man-made disasters. This protocol combines the eight standard EMDR treatment phases with a group therapy model, thus providing more extensive reach than the individual application of EMDR. In this study the EMDR-IGTP was used with 16 bereaved children after a human provoked disaster in the Mexican State of Coahuila in 2006. Results showed a significant decrease in scores on the Child's Reaction to Traumatic Events Scale that was maintained at 3-month follow-up. Although controlled research is needed to establish the efficacy of this intervention, preliminary results suggest that EMDR-IGTP may be an effective means of providing treatment to large groups of people impacted by large-scale critical incidents (e.g., human-provoked disasters, terrorism, natural disasters.

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is recognized as an effective and efficient treatment for trauma-related issues. This article describes an integrated EMDR and group treatment for children and adults traumatized by natural disasters in several Latin American countries. This protocol combines the eight standard EMDR treatment phases with a group therapy model. The hypothesis is that the resulting hybrid offers more extensive reach than did the original EMDR model, which was intended for use with individuals, and takes treatment efficacy and efficiency well beyond that expected from traditional group process. To illustrate the application of the model, one formally measured field study and nine pilot projects are described. The promising results of this intervention suggest that EMDR is an effective means of providing treatment to large groups of people impacted by large-scale traumatic events (e.g., natural disasters). Controlled research is needed to clarify this issue.

Abstract:
To quote the review of the hardcover in KLIATT, September 2005: Sixteen-year-old Anna kills her brother's girlfriend Cameron in a car crash after drinking at a party, but she was not drunk. Her best friend Ellen is also seriously injured. To make matters worse, Anna and her brother have an emotionally abusive father, a weak and distant mother, and this problem has driven a wedge into their relationship even before the trauma of the accident. This is a story of grief and the different ways people are changed by extreme events and how they heal. It is also the story of the power of friendship and the need for other people in our lives and suggests the necessity of forgiveness for the weakness of others. In addition, it explores the use of EMDR therapy to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. Frank's use of language and her powerful flashbacks, accompanied by her insight into the human condition, make this novel rich and compelling, one whose images linger in the memory after the last page. Frank (author of America, Friction, and Life is Funny) allows her characters to speak for themselves. No authorial voice jumps in to make pronouncements. The characters chide, comfort, warn, and get angry at each other and ultimately their interactions are an essential part of the healing process. This novel's themes and execution make it an excellent read for all adolescents, though younger teens may not appreciate it as much as older teens because of its sophisticated imagery.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
These were subject to statistical analysis using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
and Chi-Square tests to examine the relationships between Questionnaire items for
significance. A total of 9 subjects agreed to be interviewed regarding their EMDR practice
and integration issues. This qualititative data was content analyzed. No differences were
found between both groups on Biodata factors, years of experience as a Therapist or years
using EMDR which gives further confidence in the results when comparing both cohorts.
Results: Respondents endorsed two types of explanation as to why they believed EMDR
works (ie) EMDR facilitates communication between the Limbic system and Frontal Lobes
(77%) and Adaptive Information Processing (73%). This suggests that Therapists are not
just following Shapiro’s AIP model slavishly but are rather making up their own minds.
There were no significant differences between Analytic, CBT, Integrative and Humanistic
Therapists in terms of explanatory mechanisms endorsed about EMDR’s “active
ingredient”. CBT Therapists found it easier to incorporate EMDR into their clinical
practice than Analytic or Humanist Therapists. This finding was supported by the results of
the qualitative interview data. Indeed, up to 40% of Therapists sampled experienced
difficulties in integrating EMDR into their clinical practice, post training. The types of
difficulties identified included: Differences in theoretical beliefs, more active style of
EMDR, structure of EMDR Protocol, Therapist confidence issues, Organizational
issues and hostility from clinical colleagues, bullying, lack of supervision and support
post training.
Conclusions: The results of this study confirm findings from earlier studies regarding
Therapists’ beliefs about EMDR but also extend those finding internationally so that
previous findings can now be accepted as universal given that this present study
contained respondents from three other continents other than North America. This study
also found that up to 40% of Therapists trained in EMDR experienced significant
difficulties in integrating EMDR into their clinical practice post-training. Analytic and
Humanist Therapists reported the biggest difficulties which included conflict with the
Therapists’ original theoretical model, the EMDR Protocol structure itself, Therapist
confidence and lack of supervision and support, Organizational and Management issues of
opposition to EMDR and Therapist Bullying. The implications for EMDR training are
discussed and communicated to relevant EMDR Training Organizations.

Abstract:
El Reprocesamiento y Desensibilización a través del Movimiento Ocular (EMDR) por sus siglas en inglés, es reconocido como un tratamiento efectivo y eficiente para tratar asuntos relacionados con trauma. Este artículo describe la aplicación de una intervención grupal con EMDR para niños y adultos traumatizados por desastres naturales en varios países de Latinoamérica. Para ejemplificar la aplicación del modelo, se describe un estudio de campo medido formalmente y nueve proyectos piloto. Los prometedores resultados de esta intervención grupal sugieren que el EMDR es un medio efectivo para dar tratamiento a grandes grupos de personas afectadas por eventos traumáticos en gran escala (desastres naturales, terrorismo). Es necesaria más investigación controlada sobre este tema.
EMDR has been accepted as an effective and efficient approach in the treatment of trauma related issues. A model is described for using an EMDR group intervention for children and adults traumatized by natural disasters in several Latin American countries. To exemplify the application of the model, one formally measured field study and nine pilot projects are described. The promising outcomes of this intervention suggest that EMDR is an effective means for providing treatment to large groups of survivors affected by large scale traumatic events (natural disasters, terrorism, etc.). Anyway, more controlled research about this issue is needed. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
In Uruguay, South America, in a public psychiatric hospital unit, a clinic has been developed for the treatment of patients with simple and complex PTSD with promising results. As an example, we can mention a patient with a diagnosis of brain injury with a poor outcome who turned out to have a severe dissociative disorder, and who had a favorable evolution with the right treatment. The population treated is very poor and heterogeneous. Some patients are hospitalized for crimes commited during psychiatric decompensation (theft, murder, rape). This paper will present the basics for creating such unit in a psychiatric treatment setting and describe the work with such difficult hospital inpatients and outpatients. In South American countries it is very hard to develop specific psychiatric care units in public hospitals because patients psychological problems also have serious social and economic problems. The theorical approach in the clinic is cognitive behavioral and EMDR, based on the fact that psychotraumatology is a discipline that has had a rapid development in recent years and its knowledge has become indispensable for the treatment of severe psychiatric illness.

Abstract:
In my experience of using EMDR with clients from Latin American backgrounds, a number of old traumatic experiences emerge earlier in the process of therapy than conventional psychotherapeutic treatment. These memories were mainly related to life threatening situations experienced in their countries of origin due to organised violence.Two cases will illustrate the clinical use of EMDR. These clients came from Argentina and Central America suffering from PTSD at the time of treatment. [Adapted from Text, p. 238][Pilots]
