1. Yule, W. (2002). Alleviating the effects of war and displacement on children. Traumatology, 8(3), 160-180. doi:10.1177/153476560200800304.
Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
The mental health of children is severely compromised by war and consequent displacement. Nations have a duty under various UN agreements to alleviate the effects of war on children’s mental health. This paper argues that fostering mental health in communities starts with re-establishing safety, basic health needs, education and recreation. School and other community leaders need education in recognising stress reactions and in providing basic first aid. Large-scale programmes need to be developed and validated for delivery following wars and disasters. Once such validated programme is described. Small group and individual work is also needed. As long as wars and disasters happen, so the international mental health community needs to prepare positively to meet the predictable, but usually unexpected needs.

Abstract:
Arming Commanders to Combat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder by COL Robert D. Haycock, US Army, 53 pages.
Just as war is not a new phenomenon, neither are the issues associated with the mental and emotional scars combat brings to those who fight a nation’s wars. Historically, the United States has assumed a reactive vice proactive posture as it relates to coping with the fiscal, and humanistic challenges that manifest within a nation at war, and those who experience the trauma of combat. The Army has proven slow to respond to the need to train and educate its leaders and instead has devoted vast capital on the assessment and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attacking the symptoms as they arise, vice attacking the stressors which cause the affliction. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and the deployment of forces throughout the world to combat terror, however, have created conditions whereby PTSD is again in the lime-light.
This monograph examines PTSD from a historical perspective reviewing the manner in which the Army viewed, assessed, and treated those afflicted with PTSD as well its methods for training and educating those honored with the opportunity to lead these warriors in battle. This monograph highlights existing shortfalls in assessment, training, doctrine, and education as it relates to those commanding at the battalion-level.
The Army does not properly prepare battalion commanders for the complexities of coping with PTSD in their units nor arm them with the tactics, techniques, and procedures necessary to mitigate the effects of PTSD on the combat effectiveness of their units and the soldiers that fill the ranks.
The Army should implement more rigorous assessment programs for units deployed to identify those at risk of PTSD or demonstrating stress-related symptoms before the mental well-being of the soldier is dramatically affected and treatment becomes more difficult. Further, the Army should review and update existing doctrine and training techniques (Battlemind training) to focus specifically on commanders at the battalion level. The Army must demonstrate a linkage between doctrine, training and education, enhance efforts to consolidate PTSD resources for ease of access, and revise strategic communications procedures to reduce stigmas associated with PTSD. The Army must arm its tactical commanders with the tools to address the stressors associated with PTSD in order to preserve the force and ensure its effectiveness in the ambiguous and complex environment which appears to best characterize the way ahead.

3. Giti, S. M. (2011, May). Beyond social phobia: A review of the background, manifestations and varied therapeutic approaches for performance anxiety. Alliant International University, Los Angeles, California. 3503418.
Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
Performance anxiety is ubiquitous in our present culture and is considered one of
the most prevalent forms of anxiety. The famous actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld once
joked, “ At a funeral, most people would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy!”
While nearly eighty percent of people experience some form of anxiety when they are the
center of attention, individuals who experience performance anxiety are severely
distressed and debilitated by their anxiety (Plaut, 1990). In most cases, performance
anxiety threatens to restrain an individual’s profession, goals, education, relationships or
daily life activities. While the phenomenon of acute anxiety is commonly labeled as stage
fright in the world of the performing arts, in psychological literature it is rarely specified
or considered a diagnosable mental health disorder. It is often clustered with specific
phobias or social phobia.
Indeed, performance anxiety is not an experience solely limited to actors,
musicians, singers and dancers. It affects athletes, politicians, writers, students,
professionals, leaders, and individuals in all walks of life. For this reason, it is essential
that clinicians become educated in the etiology, symptoms, manifestations and
therapeutic approaches of performance anxiety.

5. Errebo, N. (2010, July). A decade of EMDR humanitarian trainings in Asia. Presentation at the 1st EMDR Asia Conference, Bali, Indonesia.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In 1999, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (HAP) began its work in Asia in Bangladesh. Since then HAP teams have
trained clinicians in India, Indonesia, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka. This presentation will summarize what has been learned
from ten years of experience in Asia. The EMDR HAP training in Sri Lanka following the 2004 tsunami will be presented in
detail. Issues addressed will include needs assessment, organization, collaboration among organizations, ethics, cultural
competence ,and program evaluation. Videotapes will show training and sessions of trainees with tsunami survivors. The
presentation will show how to train participants to think, write, and speak about EMDR as well as how to competently and
ethically utilize EMDR with clients.
An EMDR training program was conducted as a joint project of three organizations: EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs
(HAP), International Relief Teams (IRT), and the Sri Lankan National Counselors Association (SRILNAC). Between March and
December 2005, 30 Sri Lankan counselors were trained in EMDR. These counselors demonstrated competence in EMDR on
several measures, treated more than 1,000 children and more than 350 adult tsunami victims with EMDR in 2005, provided
narrative reports and outcome measures for most of their clients, and formed the Sri Lanka EMDR Association (SEA). The
crucial steps in establishing and implementing this training program are explained, with a summary of the subjective
impressions and learning experiences most valued by the training team, including an excerpt from a trainer’s journal. This
information may be useful to future cross-cultural humanitarian efforts following large-scale disasters.
This article summarizes the crucial steps in establishing and carrying out this training program as well. Previous HAP programs
in Bangladesh and Turkey (Konuk et al., 2006) had led to the development of a model of therapist training and service delivery
following large-scale natural disasters. Great need for mental health treatment in developing countries following a disaster
and the even greater challenge of delivering effective, culturally competent mental health treatment in these situations.
Silove and Bryant (2006) praised the rapid needs assessment after the tsunami as an important advancement in psychiatric
epidemiology that demonstrated the value of such assessment in guiding mental health interventions after disasters.They
pointed out that the controversy over whether to offer psychological treatment after disasters confuses funding agencies
and those planning mental health programs after disasters. Their concerns were echoed in Raphael and Stevens’s (2006)
delineation of the emerging consensus about good mental health practice after disasters in an article that was not a part of
the Bangkok symposium. IRT directors, EMDR-HAP staff, and SRILNAC leaders discussed crucial political, ethical, economic,
and logistical decisions in conference calls and e-mails. They outlined a program that would be responsive to the culture and
needs of Sri Lanka, would provide world-class EMDR training and consultation, and would follow International Society for
Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) guidelines for mental health programs in post disaster situations (Weine et al., 2002). Following
the funding mandate of IRT, the HAP team took responsibility for ensuring that services would in fact be delivered to tsunami
survivors and that those services would be clinically effective. Therefore, requirements for continuing participation were quite
specific, and trainees were more thoroughly evaluated than in previous HAP projects. These 30 counselors treated more than
1,350 tsunami survivors with EMDR between March and December 2005 and submitted outcome reports on these sessions
that show marked improvement in PTSD symptoms. We know from e-mail contact that a number of participants continue
to use EMDR effectively. As mentioned Important elements of the HAP training program in Sri Lanka included (a) adequate
funding, (b) selection of trainees, (c) negotiation of objectives among HAP,IRT, and SRILNAC, (d) the pre-EMDR training in
traumatology, (e) the consultation between trainings,(f ) the requirements for ongoing participation in the training, (g) a
variety of measures of competence in EMDR, (h) the continuing, ongoing consultation with trainees, and (i) dedication. A
project like this is expensive. IRT received.

Abstract:
Il CRSP (centro di ricerche e studi in psicotraumatologia) sede di Erba, operativo già da alcuni anni sul territorio , si è trovato ad intervenire, nell'emergenza all'evento critico avvenuto ad Erba (Co) l'11 dicembre 2006 ( tristemente noto come “Strage di Erba”) . Si è lavorato in un complesso intervento di Psicologia dell'Emergenza. Questo ha visto applicati i criteri e le azioni derivanti dal modello teorico del Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) di George S. Everly e Jeffrey T. Mitchell (1983). Secondo questi criteri viene individuata una vittima di secondo tipo, una bimba di 8 anni (amica degli aggressori) seguita in psicoterapia individuale per PTSD ad un mese dall'evento, con EMDR. Questo è il tema principale della relazione.
Riteniamo inoltre, di poter contribuire nell'esplicitare il nostro operato, di quanto sia possibile intervenire in un evento critico , sensibilizzando gli amministratori comunali, gli operatori del soccorso e la popolazione sull’importanza e utilità dell’intervento psicologico nei contesti d’emergenza. Attivando una capillarità dell’intervento stesso: più destinatari, più metodologie usate e flessibilità , con un lavoro di rete sul territorio. Ed infine con interventi efficaci sul PTSD quali il trattamento con EMDR.
The CRSP (center for research and studies in psychotraumatology) when Grass, operating for some years in the area, was found to intervene in emergency critical event occurred in Erba (CO) December 11, 2006 (notorious as "Massacre of Erba"). He worked in a complex intervention of Emergency Psychology. This has since applied the criteria and actions arising from the theoretical model of Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), George S. Everly and Jeffrey T. Mitchell (1983). According to these criteria, identified the victim of a second type, a child of 8 years (friend of the attackers) followed in individual psychotherapy for PTSD one month after the event, with EMDR. This is the main theme of the report. We also can help make explicit what we are doing what is possible to intervene in a critical event, sensitizing the community leaders, emergency workers and people on the importance and utility of psychological intervention in emergency situations. Activating a capillary of the action: multiple recipients, more flexibility and methodologies used, with a working network in the area. And finally with PTSD on effective interventions such as treatment with EMDR.

Abstract:
Who is the author of PCs? Are they constructed during the assessment phase of treatment or do empowering, calming thoughts emerge during processing? Can we think of these compassionate, confident thoughts as the Self that has been described historically by Carl Jung and currently by Eckart Tolle? This workshop will offer surprising answers to these questions and suggest a new perspective on what really happens during EMDR processing. The Standard Protocol is not changed, but re-examined and extended with exciting treatment tools.
Psychodrama, presenter/participant dialogues, role plays, small group discussion, and practicum experience make this a highly experiential training that is backed by cutting edge neurobiological research and solid theory from leaders in the field.

Abstract:
Recent years have seen significant advances in understanding psychosocial stress and its clinical management. Now in a thoroughly revised and expanded third edition, this comprehensive work reviews effective stress management techniques and their applications for treating psychological problems and enhancing physical health and performance. Bringing together recognized leaders in the field to present their respective approaches and demonstrate the nuts and bolts of intervention, the volume is structured for optimal use as a clinical reference and text. All chapters retained from the prior edition have been extensively rewritten, and many new chapters have been added. Part I examines conceptual foundations and describes basic mechanisms of stress and relaxation. Part II, the largest section, covers the full range of methods, including progressive relaxation, hypnosis, biofeedback, meditation, cognitive methods, and other therapies. Each tightly edited chapter: (1) Details the method's history, theoretical underpinnings, and evidence base; (2) Spells out assessment procedures and techniques; (3) Provides step-by-step implementation guidelines; (4) Considers common treatment obstacles and how to overcome them; (5) Discusses strategies for increasing patient motivation and adherence; and (6) Illustrates the method with an in-depth case example. New to the third edition are chapters on mindfulness meditation, neurofeedback, EMDR, breathing retraining, heart rate variability biofeedback, exercise therapy, and Qigong. Finally, Part III explores applications in mental health, behavioral medicine, and sport psychophysiology (another new topic in this edition), shedding light on which approaches are most suitable for particular problems. The concluding chapter reviews the clinical research literature and offers clear recommendations for improving outcomes. This timely, authoritative book is an indispensable resource for clinical and health psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, nurses, and other professionals interested in learning and using stress management techniques. It will serve as a text in graduate-level courses in stress management, behavioral medicine, social work in health care, and related areas.
