1. Vyas, K. J. (2008, April). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to decrease human immunodefiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors among Latino men who have sex with men (MSM). Presentation at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, Salisbury University, MD.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Among Latino MSM, those who have reported early childhood sexual abuse continually report high levels of HIV risk behaviors. The objective of this study was to test if EMDR can be more effective as an HIV risk reduction behavioral intervention than a non-trauma based comparison, the Explore Study intervention. At a university-based outpatient clinic, 35 Latino MSM were randomized into Explore (n=13) and EMDR (n=22). The main outcome measure was a self-report questionnaire assessing unprotected anal sex, number of sexual partners, and use of substances before or during sexual activity during the previous month. Sexual risk behaviors were assessed at baseline, before randomization, and at one week post-intervention. Compared to baseline rates, participants who didn’t report unprotected receptive anal intercourse increased by 11% in Explore and decreased by 12% in EMDR. The corresponding comparisons for number of sexual partners were a 4% increase for Explore and a 41% decrease in EMDR. Explore and EMDR participants showed an increment of 25% and 9%, respectively, in those who denied having used alcohol or drugs before or during sexual activity. Follow-up data at 2 and 6 months post-intervention are being collected. This preliminary analysis suggests that certain HIV risk behaviors can be reduced by EMDR, while others can be equally reduced by more conventional interventions.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Three randomized controlled trials treating PTSD in adult female rape victims will be
presented: Patti Resick on long-term follow-up of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
vs Prolonged Exposure (PE); Edna Foa on PE alone or with Cognitive Restructuring
(CR); and Barbara Rothbaum on PE vs Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) vs waitlist control.
Prolonged exposure vs. EMDR for PTSD rape victims:
This controlled study aimed to evaluate the relative efficacy of Prolonged Exposure (PE)
and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) compared to a notreatment
wait-list control (WAIT) in the treatment of PTSD in adult female rape victims.
In this study, 75 Ss with PTSD were randomly assigned to one of the three
experimental conditions to achieve 20 completers per treatment group. All assessments
were conducted by an Independent Assessor blind to the treatment condition, and
standard measures of PTSD and related symptoms were incorporated. The primary
goals of this study were to compare the relative efficacy of EMDR and PE, and compare
them to the WAIT control group in treating PTSD in rape victims; to gather information
on the differential rate of response to treatment; to develop predictors for response to
treatment; and to gather information on the long-term response to treatment for six and
twelve months following treatment. The mean age of participants was 34.3 (SD = 11.9)
and ranges from 18-63 years. Most participants were Caucasian (69%); 24% are
African American, 3% are Latino, and 3% are Other. The majority were single (53%),
while 28% were married or living with a partner, and19% were divorced or separated.
Treated patients were significantly more improved on all of the PTSD symptom
categories as well as by PTSD diagnostic status than the WAIT participants
immediately post-treatment. Means and standard deviations of PTSD symptom
measures and other symptom measures will be presented and compared for
participants who received PE, EMDR, and WAIT at Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment
and 6-month follow-up.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This workshop continues the mission of the diversity mandate, as established by the EMDRIA Board in 2008, and is an elaboration, and more in -depth exploration of diversity issues in EMDR, begun at the 2009 EMDR International Conference in Atlanta and continued in the panel presentation in Minneapolis in 2010. It is a three hour presentation, and in keeping with the Conference theme, “The Many Faces of Trauma,” is entitled , “Targeting Oppression; Engendering Empowerment,” and looks in depth at intergenerational and internalized oppression that may present themselves in ways that clinicians have not been trained to look for or treat. The form for the symposium will be a short presentation on the psychological effects of oppression, racism and disempowerment, followed by presenters who work with African-American, Latino, LGBT, Native American, and Holocaust survivor communities. The thrust is to illustrate how larger issues in people’s histories manifest as issues of personal trauma in the clients we treat.
