Abstract:
This
workshop
will
employ
lecture
and
demonstration
of
several
case
studies.
The
4-‐Field-‐Technique
is
a
special
method
of
EMDR
that
was
developed
by
Jarero
et
al.
1997
in
Mexico.
For
complex
traumatized
and
drug
addicted
people
this
method
is
very
helpful.
The
risk
to
trigger
other
trauma
clusters
is
quite
minor,
because
the
patient’s
concentration
is
focused
on
his
specific
picture
and
situation.
Several
international
studies
demonstrate
that
addicted
people
are
very
often
complex
traumatized.
(Felitti
et
al.,
2003;
Schmidt,
2000
etc.)
PTSD
and
other
trauma
symptoms
cause
a
lot
of
psychophysical
deregulation.
The
psychiatrist
Khantzian
realized
1985,
that
addicted
people
suffer
a
lot
from
different
symptoms
and
try
to
reduce
the
unbearable
inner
tension
in
using
drugs.
So
Khantzian
postulated
the
“self-‐medication
hypothesis
of
addictive
disorders”.
Janina
Fisher,
Trauma
Center
Boston,
2000,
interpreted
the
correlation
of
early
traumatization
and
drug-‐addiction
as
“compensatory
strategies
aimed
at
self-‐
regulation”.
20
years
of
psychotherapeutic
work
revealed,
a
high
percentage
of
addicted
patients
use
drugs
to
influence
their
emotional
states.
Drugs
and
alcohol
do
short
term
reduce
the
mentioned
symptoms.
Addicted
patients
need
to
learn
to
cope
in
another,
more
adaptive
way
to
get
a
better
functioning
self-‐regulation.
After
stabilization,
trauma-‐therapy
can
start.
So
the
patient
can
reduce
his
psycho-‐
physiological
deregulation.
Even
when
addicted
patients
are
still
in
a
methadone-‐
treatment
trauma-‐therapy
is
effective.
Practical
experiences
show
a
lot
of
successful
treatments.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
How does one create a Self that is both steady and solid enough to stay on course in the face of pressure to conform, yet capable of maintaining intimate connection with others over time? Bowen theory offers us a window into how this fundamental struggle plays out in each human life. Participants will develop a working knowledge of Bowenian concepts and how to use EMDR to help individuals clear away obstacles to healthy connection to Self and Other. This integrative approach then facilitates the re-working and repairing of significant relationships. The format will be lecture, case presentation, experiential exercise, and discussion.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The treatment of complex traumatized patients is difficult.
Especially during long term treatments it is not easy for
the chronically traumatized individuals to tolerate the exhausting
confrontation with the trauma during the EMDR standard
procedure. On the other hand they have often problems to
recognize the severity of what happened to them. Many have
problems with their compromised feelings of self-worth. Those
and other clinical problems are the reason to look for alternative
EMDR techniques. The Four-Field-Technique. one of the techniques of EMDR.
could be a good approach to solve some of these problems.
It was developed by Jarero et al, as a group protocol which
followed the 8 phases of the standard EMDR protocol (STDP).
Different from the STDP is that the moment of greatest distress
is drawn on a sheet of paper (after drawing a resource image
before and installing it with (bilateral: butterfly hugs. Different
from the group protocol patients some benefit greatly from the
individual application of the technique.
In this lecture the long term treatment of a patient with a dissociative
disorder is reported. Thereby the different phases of trauma
treatment will be demonstrated via spates of pictures. The four field-
technique itself will be explained as well as the difference to
the standard protocol of EMDR as the patient experienced.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Although EMDR protocol offers a wide range of strategies to re-start blocked
processing, sometimes these methods do not resolve the impasse and
another perspective may be necessary. This workshop will expand the
concept of blocks-(i.e. blocking beliefs. looping and stuck processing) in
terms of the emerging field of energy psychology. We will demonstrate
what occurs when psycho-energetic activity in the mind-body interface is
compromised and how that can inhibit processing. It will introduce the
concepts and treatment of energetic blocks, muscle testing and polarity
compromise and explore how treatment corrections can be used to neutralize blocks without disrupting the EMDR protocol. Format: Lecture,

Abstract:
In deze lezing staat de toepassing van EMDR bij de behandeling van chronische pijn centraal. Na een introductie over ‘pijn in het brein’ wordt aandacht besteed aan indicatiestelling: waarom en wanneer is EMDR geïndiceerd als behandeling voor chronische pijnpatiënten.
Verder worden de resultaten van een pilot-studie (drs. C. de Roos, Rivierduinen, Leiden; drs. A.C. Veenstra, St. Elisabeth Ziekenhuis, Tilburg; dr. Y.R. van Rood, Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum, Leiden) gepresenteerd. Deze studie werd uitgevoerd om het effect van Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing op chronische fantoompijn -na amputatie van een been- te onderzoeken. Tien patiënten werden behandeld tussen oktober 2003 en november 2004. Alle tien patiënten reageerden niet op eerdere pijnbehandelingen. Metingen vonden plaats voor en na de behandeling en bij een follow-up na 3 maanden.
Het derde deel van deze lezing is toegespitst op de toepassing van het EMDR pijnprotocol. Casuïstiek van patiënten met fantoompijn of post-whiplash klachten wordt geïllustreerd met videofragmenten.
In this lecture, the application of EMDR in the treatment of chronic pain center. After an introduction on "pain in the brain" focuses on needs assessment: why and when EMDR is indicated as a treatment for chronic pain patients.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing of chronic phantom pain after amputation of a leg to investigate. Ten patients were treated between October 2003 and November 2004. All ten patients did not respond to previous pain treatments. Measurements were performed before and after treatment and a follow-up after 3 months.
The third part of this lecture focuses on the application of the EMDR protocol pain. Case histories of patients with phantom pain or post-whiplash symptoms is illustrated with video clips.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Twenty years ago, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) began as a clinical technique used to help clients reprocess major traumatic experiences. Since then, EMDR has developed into a comprehensive psychotherapy approach which is also being used to treat low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and performance issues not connected to major trauma but rather to early experiences that have not been adequately processed and integrated by the brain. This workshop is an introduction to the Eight-Phase Model of EMDR with an emphasis on how these early memories are powerful contributors to a person's current difficulties. Participants will learn through direct experience how present triggers can activate these earlier associations that inform our feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Through lecture, discussion, and videotape of actual cases, participants will gain an appreciation of EMDR as a comprehensive treatment approach and learn how it can be applied to a broad range of clinical issues with lasting results.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Clients who present with life-long relationship problems and serious self-esteem issues often have pervasive developmental deficits that manifest as attachment and/or character disorders. While EMDR is an efficient treatment, addressing the early life experiences that contribute to a client’s ongoing difficulties is more than just reprocessing the nodal events of childhood; it is about generating corrective experiences of self in relationship with others. Participants will learn how to use EMDR to facilitate the uncoupling of negative core beliefs and core affects from positive, more adaptive aspects of self that have been depressed, dissociated, or otherwise undeveloped. To this end, clinicians will learn how to actively utilize the client’s emergent experience of self within the context of EMDR processing using an expanded repertoire of cognitive interweave strategies. Materials will be presented through lecture and videotape of actual continuous clinical cases as well as a large group discussion format in which participants will be able to discuss their own cases with the presenter.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
To stabilize overwhelming symptoms, integrate
memories, and overcome the terror of intimacy,
traumatized clients must establish sufficient safety in the body that they do not continue to recreate the unsafe world of childhood. Otherwise, the “child in the nightmare” from decades ago remains lost in time, demoralized
by internal critics and
terrified by the threats of
hypervigilant internal
protectors.
Because the body is the
container for all past and
present experience and for
all parts of the self,
somatically oriented
approaches can address
the intense and often
baffling reactions of these
patients in a way that is
both simple and effective.
This workshop will
demonstrate bodyoriented
interventions for
working with traumatized
and dissociative patients
drawn from Sensorimotor
Psychotherapy and easily
integrated into EMDR,
IFS, and traditional
talking therapies.
Through the use of
lecture, videotape, and
demonstration, participants will have the
opportunity to observe
somatically informed
solutions to a number of
common clinical
challenges encountered in
trauma treatment.
Capitalizing on recent
advances in the research
on attachment and trauma,
the workshop will also
provide a context for
understanding how to use
the therapeutic
relationship to provide a
safe “container” for both
patient and therapist in the
challenging work of
trauma treatment.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
One major limitation of EMDR is that it is an individual treatment modality. However, individual treatment of a child may be
insuflicient, and broader interventions are often required. This is especially likely when environmental forces are unsupportive or in
opposition to the healing process. This presentation will focus on the use of EMDR on several levels in child treatment, including
individual treatment of traumatic memories, enhancing family support for healing, and addressing family obstacles to healing.
Format will include lecture, vignettes, and a video case presentation of the EMDR treatment of a young girl who had been raped by
a babysitter, along with the EMDR treatment of her older brother who bullied her.
Assessment of child problems includes consideration of many factors. The focus here will be on the child's trauma history, and on
the current family situation it pertains to treatment of the child's traumatic memories. Methods of assessment addressed here include
interview of the child and the parent, observation of family interactions, and observation of the child's progress, both during and after
EMDR treatment.
A number of interventions are available to enhance or augment individual EMDR treatment of the child. Vignettes will be
presented to illustrate the following interventions: referral to family therapy when successful EMDR highlighted the symptom's
functional role; EMDR with a parent to reduce reactivity to the child; and prompting the parent(s) to produce statements and
behaviors to be used later as content for installations.
A challenging case will be presented in which a family, though motivated, demonstrated a number of behaviors which threatened to
undermine the child's treatment. The family consisted of a single father in his late twenties, an eight year-old boy, and a seven-yearold
girl. The presenting problem was the girl's ongoing post-traumatic symptoms, particularly nightmares and social withdrawal,
some two years after having been raped by a babysitter. (the boy also had social and behavioral problems in school.) Unfortunately,
the "lessons" of the girl's traumatic experience were frequently reinforced in the family context, through the brother's bullying of his
younger sister, the father's complicity in the bullying, and the father's own tendency to be overly controlling and threatening.
Treatment began with two family sessions and one with the father alone. The next three sessions were split to provide some
individual time for each child as well as for the father. The seventh, final session included a family meeting and then some time for
each individual. Work with the father was difficult and slow, as he was very defensive regarding his own possible contributions to
his children's problems. Early interventions included delicate attempts to help the father understand the effect of his yelling and
threatening - even though he was no longer in the habit of physically striking his children. Meanwhile, in part to enhance the
therapeutic alliance, the primary focus was on direct treatment of the children. Some of this is shown on video.
The girl was asked to draw a picture of her bad dream, and then to draw it "all better." She first drew a dark picture of a large man
with fangs dripping blood. The next picture was of a nicer man on a sunny day. This activity was used as part of her introduction to
the upcoming EMDR work. In the next session she agreed to do EMDR and completed processing in 25 minutes. The following
session she indicated that the memory was no longer disturbing, and many of the symptoms had disappeared. She began to raise her
next concern, by playing with a doll and a baby bottle, and complaining that she did not get to see her mother enough.
Over the same three sessions the boy was also treated with EMDR for a number of relatively minor traumatic memories, including a
car accident, the loss of two pets, and a vision of the devil. Despite apparently successfull processing, he was unable to conclude that
he was a "good boy," due to evidence to the contrary: memories of his father's anger at him. Cognitive interweave was used to
access a sense of inner goodness. The bullying behavior reportedly disappeared both at home and at school, and he also moved on,
to express concerns about missing his mother.
Treatment was interrupted due to a change in insurance coverage, so continued treatment and follow-up was not accomplished. This
case illustrates some ways that EMDR can be enlisted to address aspects of the family context which may constitute obstacles to
healing. The girl's brother was treated with EMDR to reduce his mistreatment of her; and the boy's sense of badness, largely gained
by interaction with his father, was overcome by accessing internal resources in the absence of parental support. In conclusion,
EMDR can play multiple roles in both the diagnosis and treatment of family obstacles to healing.

Language: English

Abstract:
Both EMDR and CISD have their positions in the treatment of PTSD and Acute Stress Disorders. They are parts of clear concepts of best practice in crisis and disaster and psychology (e.g., as one focused part CISD) in the immediate care and evaluated trauma therapy methods (with EMDR as a crucial example of well researched trauma therapy) for aftercare. It is very important for the best support of concerned persons and survivors to have good and vice versa supporting management of the interfaces on this continuum.
This lecture will emphasize the author’s opinion on the best possibilities to combine both parts and positions. This will be underlined by some actual research findings on the needs of concerned person and their perception on what they get.
The way of combining both specialized methods will be discussed out of a practitioner’s (in both methods) point of view and will be illustrated by some concrete cases. A senseful combination of EMDR and CISD and a precise consideration and screening for genuine and known risk factors and leading symptoms (e.g., hyperarousal) seem to be a good practice for those starting to suffer from stress disorders.

Abstract:
Der Vortrag basiert auf den Erfahrungen einer psychologischen Psychotherapeutin in der Arbeit mit in Auslandseinsätzen traumatisierten deutschen Soldaten. Es werden sowohl die speziellen Stressoren im Einsatz als auch die charakterlichen Merkmale der Soldaten in der Patientenrolle sowie die notwendigen Fähigkeiten auf therapeutischer Seite ausgeführt. Auslösende und die PTBS aufrechterhaltende Bedingungen im Rahmen der Institution deutsche Bundeswehr sowie die daraus resultierenden Probleme und Vorteile werden benannt. Der Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit diversen Herausforderungen, die sich hier im Rahmen einer EMDR-Behandlung stellen wie etwa der Frage nach Schuld und Scham.
The talk is based on the experience of a psychological psychotherapist in working with traumatized German soldiers in missions abroad. There are both the specific stressors in the use of character and the characteristics of the soldiers in the patient role and the skills necessary to run therapeutic side. Triggering and sustaining conditions of PTSD within the institution German Bundeswehr and the resulting benefits and problems are identified. The lecture will deal with various challenges that arise here as part of an EMDR treatment such as the question of guilt and shame.

Abstract:
EMDR is often used to help clients access and rewire neural pathways to integrate traumatic memories and relieve dissociation, hyperarousal, and numbing. But it can also help clients move toward a better future by mentally rehearsing aspects of more positive, fulfilling lives. In this workshop, we'll describe how to use EMDR to develop alternative neural pathways freeing clients from the fears and self-doubts that keep them from developing to their fullest potential. We'll review the brain circuitry involved in moving from an internal state of disconnection and helplessness to one of integration and empowerment. Then through lecture, discussion, and videotaped examples, you'll learn guidelines for using EMDR to help clients develop new internal maps, future scenarios, and a clear sense of how to get from their present state to their future self.

Language: English

Abstract:
Effect size (ES) is a name given to a family of indices that measure the magnitude of
a treatment effect. Unlike significance tests, these indices are independent of sample
size. ES measures are the common currency of meta-analysis studies that summarize
the findings from a specific area of research. See, for example, the influential metaanalysis
of psychological, educational, and behavioral treatments by Lipsey and
Wilson (1993).
There is a wide array of formulas used to measure ES. For the occasional reader of
meta-analysis studies, like myself, this diversity can be confusing. One of my
objectives in putting together this set of lecture notes was to organize and summarize
the various measures of ES.
In general, ES can be measured in two ways:
a) as the standardized difference between two means, or
b) as the correlation between the independent variable classification and the
individual scores on the dependent variable. This correlation is called the "effect size
correlation" (Rosnow & Rosenthal, 1996).
These notes begin with the presentation of the basic ES measures for studies with two
independent groups. The issues involved when assessing ES for two dependent groups
are then described.
The psychotherapies include: behavioral treatments (primarily different forms of
exposure therapies), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR),
relaxation therapy, hypnosis, and psychodynamic therapy.
The control conditions include: pill placebo (used in the drug treatment studies), wait
list controls, supportive psychotherapy, and no saccades (a control for eye movements
in EMDR studies).

Abstract:
This workshop will focus on integrating EMDR into an overall recovery plan in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. Individuals with histories of chronic victimization often struggle with extreme vulnerability and shame, heightened dissociative tendencies, and limited affect tolerance. In considering their unique needs, strategies for modifying and supplementing standard EMDR protocols will be explored. Fears and blocking beliefs commonly seen in this population will be discussed, along with suggestions for effective cognitive interweave interventions. In addition, significant attention will be devoted to integrating EMDR ego strengthening and resource development protocols into all phases of treatment. This program will include lecture, videotape presentations, and case discussion.

Abstract:
Ernstig zelfdestructief gedrag wordt doorgaans gezien als een belemmering voor een behandeling gericht op het verwerken van trauma. Vaak is dit gedrag echter gerelateerd aan ptts symptomatologie en kan het behandelen daarvan met EMDR ook vermindering te weeg brengen in dit gedrag. Uiteraard is het dan wel van belang om goed inzicht te hebben hoe dit gedrag verband houdt met het trauma om te kunnen weten welke targets gekozen moeten worden. Deze lezing geeft inzicht hoe zelfdestructief gedrag begrepen kan worden, hoe het verband kan houden met trauma en hoe dit vervolgens behandeld kan worden. Ook wordt besproken hoe patiënten met ernstige vormen van dit gedrag voorbereid kunnen worden op de EMDR behandeling zonder verder te ontregelen.
Serious self-destructive behavior is usually seen as a barrier to treatment aimed at traumas. Often this behavior is related to pTTS symptomatology and can treat them with EMDR also bring about reduction in this behavior. Of course is it important to have good insight how this behavior is related to the trauma in order to know which targets should be chosen. This lecture gives an insight into how self-destructive behavior can be understood, how it may be related to trauma and how it then can be treated. It also discusses how patients with severe forms of this behavior can be prepared on the EMDR treatment without further disrupt.

In deze voordracht wordt in eerste instantie een aanpak gepresenteerd waarmee de therapeut en patiënt kunnen komen tot een zodanige
(hiërarchische) ordening van de traumatische gebeurtenissen, dat een gefaseerde en overzichtelijke behandeling mogelijk wordt.
Vervolgens zal nader ingegaan worden op het verschijnsel dissociatie en zal worden uitgelegd welke algemene technieken toegepast kunnen worden bij dissociatieve reacties. Ten slotte zal aan de hand van videobeelden worden gedemonstreerd hoe met een aangepast EMDR basisprotocol het mogelijk is om bij mensen met secundaire en tertiaire structurele dissociatie, door activatie van een alterpersoonlijkheid, het traumatisch materiaal waardoor de alterpersoonlijkheid is ontstaan a. te ontsluiten, b. te verwerken en c.

Abstract:
In deze lezing worden de resultaten gepresenteerd van een onderzoek naar de toepassing van Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) bij kinderen, die opgenomen zijn in de kinder- en jeugdpsychiatrie. De onderzoeksvraag was of het mogelijk is de zelfevaluatie van het kind in de observatieperiode van de klinische opname positief te beïnvloeden door het toepassen van een korte EMDR-interventie en of het kind dan beter op de daaropvolgende klinische behandeling reageert. De opzet van het onderzoek was exploratief en beoogde nieuwe onderzoeksvragen te identificeren om de toepassing van EMDR verder te onderzoeken.
Aan het onderzoek namen 29 kinderen deel (9 meisjes en 20 jongens) die opgenomen waren in een klinische setting in de periode tussen maart 2005 en april 2006. De leeftijd van de kinderen varieerde van 8 tot 13 jaar. De kinderen waren afkomstig uit drie verschillende voorzieningen voor kinder- en jeugdpsychiatrie (Accare) in Noord- Nederland..Het betrof hier kinderen met ernstige gedragsproblemen.
De geïncludeerde kinderen werden ad random toegewezen aan een EMDR-conditie of aan een cognitieve gedragstherapie conditie (CGT). In een periode van zes weken vonden vervolgens vier geprotocolleerde behandelsessies plaats met EMDR of CGT. De behandeling was gericht op het verbeteren van de zelfevaluatie van het kind. Hiermee werd beoogd een betere basis te leggen voor de rest van de behandeling.
Tijdens deze lezing krijgen de toehoorders informatie over de opzet van het onderzoek, wordt ingegaan op de geprotocolleerde behandelingen, worden de resultaten gepresenteerd en wordt beeldmateriaal getoond van EMDR sessies.
This lecture presents the results of an investigation into the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in children who are included in child and adolescent psychiatry. The research question was whether the possibility of self-evaluation of the child in the observation period of hospitalization a positive effect by applying a brief EMDR intervention and whether the child is better than the subsequent clinical treatment. The design of the study was exploratory and sought to identify new research questions the application of EMDR to investigate further.
The study included 29 children participated (nine girls and 20 boys) were included in a clinical setting in the period between March 2005 and April 2006. The age of the children ranged from 8 to 13 years. The children were from three different facilities for child and adolescent psychiatry (Accare) in North Netherlands .. This was children with severe behavioral problems.
The enrolled children were randomly assigned to EMDR condition or a cognitive-behavioral condition (CBT). In a period of six weeks were then recorded four treatment sessions with EMDR or CBT. The treatment was aimed at improving the self-evaluation of the child. While designed to provide a better basis to impose the rest of the treatment.
During this lecture the audience get information about the design of the study, discusses the recorded treatments, the results are presented and shown footage of EMDR sessions.

Format: Conference
Abstract:
Deze lezing gaat over het implementeren van EMDR
in een zeer complexe (TBS) instelling, waarbij beveiliging en onlosmakelijk behandeling verweven zijn, met een diagnostisch zwaar belaste doelgroep:
• Meervoudige persoonlijkheidsstoornissen
• Meervoudig ernstig getraumatiseerd
• Verslavingsproblematiek
• Specifieke psychiatrische problematiek
• Forensische problematiek
• Combinaties
Het TBS systeem van behandelen (met beveiliging als belangrijk punt) verhoudt zich soms moeilijk tot de behandeling met EMDR van de individuele patiënt. Angst voor de beheersbaarheid van een patiënt gedurende de behandeling kan als een contra-indicatie worden gezien voor EMDR-behandeling. Het is de vraag of EMDR gecontraïndiceerd is in een TBS-kliniek vanwege de veiligheid. De inbedding van de behandeling in de TBS-kliniek alsmede het toepassen van zelfcontroletechnieken zijn hierbij belangrijke factoren.
Complicerende factor is dat veel TBS-patiënten zowel zelf getraumatiseerd zijn als wel ernstige delicten hebben gepleegd waarmee ze anderen hebben getraumatiseerd.
In deze lezing willen wij vooral aan de orde stellen hoe de behandeling van het daderschap zich verhoudt tot de behandeling van het slachtofferschap van de patiënt. We willen hiervan zowel de inhoudelijke als de ethische kant belichten. Van belang hierbij is ook de discussie rondom de indicatiestelling: richt men zich eerst op het daderschap of juist op het slachtofferschap? Verder willen we de gelaagdheid van de behandeling benoemen: de behandelaar heeft niet alleen te maken met de problematiek van de patiënt maar ook te maken met de gesloten kliniek en verschillende functionarissen daarin. Die gelaagdheid heeft direct gevolgen voor de vorm en inhoud van de behandeling.
Als hypothese willen we naar voren brengen dat de behandeling van trauma’s essentieel kan zijn voor de behandeling van persoonlijkheidsproblematiek. Schemagerichte Cognitieve Therapie (J. Young), sluit in onze ogen naadloos aan op EMDR. Beide stromingen richten zich op dezelfde type existentiële “Ik ben ….“ opvattingen.
This lecture is about the implementation of EMDR
In a very complex (TBS) of institution, and security are inextricably intertwined treatment, with a heavily loaded diagnostic target:
• Multiple personality disorder
• Multiple severely traumatized
• Addiction Problems
• Specific psychiatric problems
• Forensic issues
• Combinations
The TBS system of treatment (with security as an important point) does sometimes difficult to EMDR treatment of individual patients. Fear of the manageability of a patient during treatment as may be considered a contraindication for EMDR treatment. The question is whether EMDR is contraindicated in a TBS clinic for security reasons. The embedding of treatment in the TBS clinic and the use of self-control techniques are important factors.
Complicating factor is that many TBS patients, both self-traumatized as well have committed serious crimes with which they have traumatized others.
In this talk we mainly discussed how the treatment of the perpetrator is related to the treatment of the victimization of the patient. We wish them both the substantive and ethical angles. Of importance here is the discussion surrounding the needs assessment: the focus is first on the perpetrator or at the very victimization? We also want to appoint the stratification of treatment: the therapist has not only faced with the problem of the patient but also to do with the clinic closed and several officers therein. Such layering has direct implications for the form and content of treatment.
As a hypothesis we want to highlight that the treatment of trauma may be essential for the treatment of personality problems. Schema-Focused Cognitive Therapy (J. Young), close our eyes seamlessly with EMDR. Both schools focus on the same existential type "I am ...." opinions.

In deze voordracht zal worden besproken hoe EMDR een rol kan spelen bij het 'repareren' van een beschadigd zelfbeeld. Hiertoe wordt geschetst hoe een negatief zelfbeeld kan worden geconceptualiseerd, hoe dit past in het EMDR-model (men
spreekt momenteel van 'rechtsom') en op welke wijze EMDR concreet kan worden ingezet bij zelfbeeld-reparatie. Tot slot komen eventuele complicaties en oplossingen aan bod, alsmede voorzorgsmaatregelen om deze complicaties te voorkomen. Dit alles wordt geïllustreerd aan de hand van één of meer specifieke stoornissen.
Er wordt naar gestreefd dat (enige) tijd overblijft voor vragen en korte (eigen) casuïstiek.

Abstract:
De laatste jaren is er veel vooruitgang geboekt in de behandeling van persoonlijkheidstoornissen van met name de borderline persoonlijkheidsstoornis (BPS) met Cognitieve Gedrags Therapie (CGT). Vooral de Schematherapie van Jeffrey Young gooit hoge ogen. Bij een hoog percentage van mensen met persoonlijkheidstoornissen en met name weer bij BPS is er sprake van traumatische gebeurtenissen in de voorgeschiedenis. EMDR gooit hoge ogen in de behandeling van de gevolgen van trauma’s. Een goede vraag is dan ook wat de plaats is van EMDR binnen de Schematherapie. Op deze vraag zullen wij ingaan tijdens onze presentatie.
Eerst presenteren we een simpel model hoe je naar persoonlijkheidstoornissen kunt kijken en uit welke componenten een behandeling meestal zal bestaan. Vervolgens kijken we wat EMDR te bieden heeft binnen de verschillende componenten.
Bij onze presentatie zullen we steeds praktische voorbeelden geven van succes en falen van EMDR binnen Schematherapie en bezien wat we daar uit kunnen leren.
De lezing is niet geschikt voor beginners. Kennis van Schema Focused Therapy wordt aanbevolen.
In recent years there has been much progress in the treatment of personality disorders, especially borderline personality disorder (BPD) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Especially the Schema Therapy Jeffrey Young gets top marks. In a high percentage of people with personality disorders and BPD in particular, again there is a history of traumatic events. EMDR gets top marks in the treatment of the effects of trauma. A good question is what the site is within the Schema Therapy EMDR. On this question we will discuss during our presentation.
First we present a simple model of how personality disorders can look at and which components of treatment will usually exist. Then we see what EMDR has to offer within the various components.
In our presentation we will always offer practical examples of success and failure of Schema Therapy EMDR inside and see what we can learn from.
The lecture is not suitable for beginners. Schema Focused Therapy knowledge is recommended.

This workshop will clarify questions asked by EMDR Clinicians such as:
• Are all NC/PCs Core Belief Schemas?
• Are your Targeting Sequence Plans Core Belief Schema Bundled or just a shotgun of targets based upon
“What do you want to work on today?”
• Does “What does it say about you” really address ‘what it means about you!?
• Are you’ staying out of the way’ when you should be ‘leading the way’!
These and others questions will be clarified through lecture, case examples and video demonstrations.
Through lecture, video demonstration, and practice, participants will:
• Name 3 major differences between the Standard EMDR Protocols and Procedures and EMDR from a ‘Belief Schema Perspective.’
• Describe the 4 primary Belief Schemas used in the ‘Belief Schema Perspective’ to EMDR, and how they assist
the case conceptualization and processing.
• Demonstrate the ability to develop a Belief Focused Targeting Sequence Plan and appropriately process the
targets identified within the Standard Three Pronged Protocol.

Abstract:
Patients with alcohol addiction often report sexual abuse
and neglect in childhood and/or other traumatic events during
lifetime. In addiction treatment facilities symptoms of PTSD are
frequently not treated, because there is no sufficient method.
which could be completed within the addiction treatment period?
The lecture will inform about an ongoing scientific project dealing with the question, if EMDR is an intervention, which is equal
or superior to common multimodal stabilizing interventions. The
project is supported by the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund.
Patients with alcohol addiction and comorbid PTSD are divided
into two groups: EMDR or multimodal therapy including stabilizing methods. Prevalence of PTSD-symptoms is measured
before and after intervention and one year after treatment.
Up to date nearly 90 Patients with alcohol addiction and PTSD
have been treated. Data indicate, that both trauma treatments
are effective but that EMDR leads to a significant larger decrease
in trauma symptoms. The results of the one year after
treatment evaluation are presented and discussed.
Educational objectives: Addiction therapy in a treatment facility
can be effectively combined with trauma therapy.
EMDR is an effective method in the treatment of patients with
alcohol addiction and comorbid PTSD.
Most patients with alcohol addiction and PTSD show multiple
trauma and need a prolonged period of treatment.
What's new? There are only few studies in Germany, which
have investigated the effects of EMDR in a sample of alcohol
addicted patients.
The presented study includes a follow up evaluation one year
after treatment (currently in progress), which rarely is the case
in research on EMDR-effectiveness.

Abstract:
Werken in het veld voor Artsen zonder Grenzen (AzG) is niet zonder risico. Hulpverleners kunnen geconfronteerd worden met aangrijpende situaties waneer zij met de noodlijdende bevolking werken, maar zij kunnen ook zelf traumatische situaties meemaken, bijv. wanneer een team onderweg wordt aangehouden door een gewapende bende.
Deze lezing gaat over de bruikbaarheid van EMDR als methodiek in de opvang van humanitaire hulpverleners. Bij AzG worden hulpverleners in het veld opgevangen door de Psycho Social Care Unit (PSCU). De PSCU verzorgt de debriefing van de hulpverleners bij terugkeer in Nederland, maar ook in het veld wanneer hulpverleners betrokken zijn geweest bij een traumatische gebeurtenis.
Deze lezing behandelt de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van EMDR binnen de methodiek van debriefing. Aan de hand van 4 casussen wordt ingegaan op de volgende vragen: In welke situaties is er aanleiding om EMDR toe te passen? Welke alternatieven zijn er? Wat levert het op en wat zijn de beperkingen? Tot slot wordt aandacht besteed aan de vraag in hoeverre EMDR past in de doelstellingen en werkwijze van debriefing.
This lecture is about the usefulness of EMDR as a methodology in the care of Humanitarian workers. By MSF aid workers in the field are captured by the Psychosocial Care Unit (PSCU).

This lecture discusses the Possibilities and limitations of the methodology of EMDR Within debriefing. Based on four case studies examinées the following questions: In what is there reason to apply "Situations EMDR? What alternatives are there? What benefits and what are ITS Limitations? Finally, attention is paid to the question how EMDR fits the Objectives and methods of debriefing.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Although the structured protocols and procedures of EMDR practice have provided therapists
with enhanced healing opportunities, the awkwardness of the procedure remains unnatural to
many EMDR therapists. However, EMDR can be modified to a more natural face-to-face
flowing treatment process.
This presentation will comprehensively examine flow EMDR and its dual naturalising
components of "essential listening" and extended bi-lateral stimulation. "Essential listening"
entails the therapists accepting that all potential answers reside in the clients system.
This information and the ensuing healing process is supported by the therapist suspending all meta
communications emanating from the client. Following this procedure, combined with the
targeted information of the protocol activated by bi-lateral stimulation, allows the client to
process information until they arrive at their "essential truths".
Flow EMDR also utilises longer sets and/or continuous bi-lateral stimulation afforded by
auditory and tactile stimulation. Innovations in eye movement, called ''paint brushing", will
also be demonstrated with varied pace, direction, pausing and distance. Auditory stimulation
will be reviewed as to its current modes and tactile stimulation will also be explored in terms
of tapping, pressing and mechanical activation.
Flow EMDR also actively integrates ego state work, part protocols, multiple protocols,
parallel protocols, self questioning interweaves, targeting of present mood states, resource
activation's of locating and installing positive body sensations and body processing enhanced
by colour and image associations.
This presentation will include lecture, clinical demonstratipn, audience participation and

Abstract:
EMDR is increasingly being utilized to treat highly challenging clients with a
variety of diagnoses including complex PTSD, DESNOS, and a range of
dissociative disorders. The dissociative processes commonly described as
part of the PTSD spectrum, are also predicted by early attachment difficulties
and losses. These clients may present with elements of several disorders (i.e.,
Borderline PD). Without considerable stabilization work, they may be unable
to process information safely. This presentation, through lecture, experiential
work and case presentation, will provide clinicians with a model that enables
them to provide EMDR treatment effectively with this population.
Participants will become familiar with specialized treatment planning that begins with detailed and complex history taking and pays particular attention to an extensive individualized preparation phase. They will learn how and when to integrate ego state work, somatosensory work and disociative treatment strategies in this phase and throughout EMDR protocol work. This systemic work will be understood to help patients resolve internal conflicts, deal with stabilization, affect regulation, triggering, overwhelm, dissociation, and resistance.

Abstract:
Le traumatisme est un phénomène d’arrêt sur image qui nous empêche d’habiter notre propre existence. Le sujet ne peut se réaliser pleinement car il est sans arrêt confronté à une résurgence de son passé qui l’empêche de vivre l’instant présent.
Dès lors, les thérapies verbales, comme la psychanalyse restent impuissantes et ne permettent pas de produire l’impulsion nécessaire à la restitution d’un vécu authentique et plein de promesses à venir. Le sujet reste alors prisonnier de son passé, et par conséquent ne peut pas dépasser l’impact dévastateur produit par le traumatisme et cela quelque en soit l’intensité.
Avec pertinence, Corinne Van Loey défend l’idée que seules les thérapies de la représentation et du mouvement nous permettent de gommer ces instants où la sidération a fait place à l’action. Elle nous propose donc de renouer le fil du temps, de réactualiser les gestes laissés en suspens en permettant leurs achèvements nécessaires. Bref, de retrouver-enfin- cette complémentarité entre corps et esprit que le traumatisme avait fait éclater.
S’appuyant sur de nombreuses années de pratique, ainsi que sur les travaux les plus récents en sciences cognitives l’auteur aborde de manière détaillée et progressive tous les éléments constitutifs du traumatisme et du processus de guérison.
La lecture de cet ouvrage accessible à tous, apportera les éclairages nécessaires à la compréhension de ces nouveaux chemins de guérison que sont l’HYPNOSE, l’EMDR et l’EFT.
Trauma is a picture off phenomenon that prevents us from living our own lives. The subject can not be fully realized because it is constantly facing a resurgence of his past that prevents him from living in the moment.
Therefore, verbal therapies, such as psychoanalysis remain powerless and do not produce the necessary impetus for the restoration of an authentic and full of promise coming through. The subject is then a prisoner of his past, and therefore can not exceed the devastating impact caused by trauma and that in some of the intensity.
With relevance, Corinne Van Loey argues that only therapies representation and movement allow us to erase those moments when the stunning gave way to action. It therefore proposes to renew over time, update actions in abeyance for their completions necessary. In short, to find-last-complementarity between mind and body that the trauma had burst.
Based on many years of practice, as well as the most recent work in cognitive science the author discusses in detail all the progressive elements of trauma and healing process.

readily available when needed. EMDR therapists need to be especially attentive to this issue because of the
high intensity of affect EMDR can stimulate. This 90 minute workshop will teach the art and intricacies of time
orientation within an EMDR framework. Lecture, case transcripts and video clips will show the power, depth and

There will be a brief history of EMDR-PEP, research, AIP theory, and useful performance skills that therapists can integrate into their work with clients. The workshop will include lecture, role playing demo with group practice and, hopefully, time for questions.

This paper aims to reflect about transmitted trauma, as well transgenerational trauma
as also vicarious trauma with the support of the concept of mirror neurons. Out of empirical
therapeutic work with two persons who presented post-traumatic stress disorder related to
historical dated events that they cannot have experienced, we reflect on transmitted trauma
and its possible links with the concept of mirror neurons.
We conclude with an epistemological reflection on the intrapsychic – interactional
debate in order to join more integrated views and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract:
'Bridging the gap between research and clinical practice" is a euphemism frequently evoked and rarely accomplished The aim of this workshop is to present and discuss lessons learned during a four-year treatment outcome study that compared EMDR to Prozac and control conditions, looking beyond the data toward clinical implications and issues of effectiveness versus efficacy. Using a combination of lecture, handouts and videotapes the presenters will address issues around predictors of positive and negative treatment response including comorbid diagnosis, age of trauma onset, and treatment condition. Case conceptualization, selection and sequencing of targets in treatment planning, the role of therapeutic relationship, and using EMDR as a brief treatment intervention will also be explored.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Il dolore è uno di reazione ad una perdita e lutto è l'assimilazione e la sistemazione della perdita. Trauma può disabilitare la possibilità di far fronte, mettere in pericolo il funzionamento, compromettere la capacità di adattarsi, e aggiungere in modo significativo alla sofferenza del lutto. Trauma complica anche il lutto interferendo con i processi del lutto ha bisogno di passare attraverso per l'assimilazione e la sistemazione della perdita. Una perdita può essere così doloroso che l'accesso alle emozioni che richiedono attenzione è impedito e / o reti di memoria contenenti ricordi positivi della persona amata sono bloccate. Con l'elaborazione EMDR, non solo può essere lavorato attraverso le emozioni, ma le reti di memoria possono diventare accessibili e in grado di giocare un ruolo fondamentale nella sistemazione di perdita. I ricordi del defunto sono gli elementi costitutivi di una rappresentazione interna adattivo, servono come un ponte essenziale tra il mondo e con il mondo senza la persona amata. Questo workshop, attraverso lezioni e nastri di sessioni, si concentrerà su utilizzando l'EMDR nel trattamento del dolore e del lutto, con particolare attenzione sulla domanda di lutto traumatico.
Grief is one’s reaction to a loss and mourning is the assimilation and accommodation of the loss. Trauma can disable the ability to cope, impair functioning, compromise the ability to adapt, and add significantly to the mourner’s distress. Trauma also complicates mourning by interfering with the processes the mourner needs to go through for assimilation and accommodation of the loss. A loss can be so distressing that access to emotions requiring attention is prevented and/or memory networks containing positive memories of the loved one are blocked. With EMDR processing, not only can emotions be worked through, but memory networks can become accessible and capable of playing a vital role in accommodation of loss. Memories of the deceased are the building blocks of an adaptive inner representation; they serve as an essential bridge between the world with and the world without the loved one. This workshop , through lecture and tapes of sessions, will focus on utilizing EMDR in the treatment of grief and mourning, with special attention on the application to traumatic grief.

Abstract:
Mindful awareness has been scientifically proven to promote social, emotional and physical well-being and is an effective part of psychotherapy practice. Research has demonstrated that mindful awareness is useful in the prevention of relapse of drug addiction and chronic depression, and in the treatment of anxiety and borderline personality disorder. This ancient practice of being fully aware in the present moment, without grasping onto judgments, has been found in cultures throughout the world. This lecture will explore the possible ways in which mindfulness may actually work to enrich our lives and be a part of EMDR and effective psychotherapy. The state of mindful awareness harnesses specific social and emotional circuits in the brain. With practice, this receptive state of mindfulness becomes a trait of resilience. The development of these “resonance circuits” creates an integrated brain state that creates the benefits of improved immune and cardiac function, enhanced empathy and self-understanding, and a deeper connection to oneself and others.

Abstract:
Spatial intelligence is emphasized in traditional EMDR protocols and instructional methods when focus is placed on imagery. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is honoured when body cues are addressed. However, individuals with primary musical or sonic intelligences are not optimally attended to with orthodox application of well-accepted EMDR strategies. Without making any changes to the stages of the Shapiro protocol, musical interventions can be implemented into EMDR treatment to amplify the holistic design of EMDR and to optimally serve those who struggle with spatial intelligence. In this workshop, participants will learn how to utilize music in resource development and EMDR preparation, to apply music as an appropriate “cognitive interweave” when processing is not flowing optimally, and to consider the impact that music can have on EMDR treatment. The presenter will implement a combination of lecture, participation activities, and case discussion to achieve learning objectives.

Abstract:
Clients who have experienced traumatic events, as

deficits in the area of emotion regulation. This
presentation will explain the concepts of emotion
regulation and dysregulation and the behavioral
manifestations of emotion dysregulation. Clients'
difficulty in regulating emotion can interfere with
their ability to process traumatic memories with a
minimum of re-traumatization and relapse in or a
worsening of symptoms. Phase-based trauma
treatment was conceptualized to assist clients in
developing adequate emotion regulation skills
during a preliminary phase of therapy prior to
trauma processing. This presentation will offer
rationale for phase-based treatment with certain
client populations. This presentation will show how sessions of trauma processing with EMDR can be
integrated into the second level of phase-based
trauma treatment, replacing the utilization of
exposure therapy for trauma processing.
Additionally, this presentation will establish how

Abstract:
Working with survivors of trauma and abuse can challenge or shatter therapists' basic beliefs about safety, goodness, and meaning,
leaving one anxious, vulnerable, uncertain and prone to countertransference act-out. Through discussion and structured experiences
that allow for individual pacing, participants in this experiential clinic will have an opportunity to identify, transform, and work
through issues of the self of the therapist including countertransferences, parallel process, secondary traumatization, and the intense
and sometime immobilizing existential crises that may result from this work. The leader will endeavor to create an enjoyable playful
climate of mutual respect, trust, confidentiality and containment throughout the day.
Educational objectives:
A. Participants will engage in group and individual exercises designed to break with injunctions, scripts and
internalizations left over from the family of origin that have prohibited personal authority and experimentation.
B. Through lecture/discussion and exercises, participants will explore countertransference issues, secondary PTSD, and
common therapeutic impasses and the existential crises they evoke in the self of the therapist.
C. Participants will engage in group and individual exercises designed to assist in the resolution of on-going
countertransference issues growing out of their current clinical practice.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This workshop will focus on transference and countertransference problems and solutions in EMDR with dissociative clients. There will be a short literature review on procedural modifications in dealing with dissociation in EMDR, and transference and countertransference with dissociative patients. Research findings on mirror neurons and embodied simulation will be taught to enhance the participant’s understanding of the neurobiological substrates for attunement and resonance, and for solving transference and countertransference with dissociatives in EMDR when ruptures to relatedness occurs. Identifying and using transference reactions to enhance dual awareness will be demonstrated in history taking. Enhancements in preparation phase will be shown through case example to limit induced transference. Transference and countertransference during the assessment phase will be identified and solutions offered. In the Desensitization phase EMDR processing may induce transference, countertransference, or both (even with procedural modifications). Intersubjective challenges seem to be more intense during phases 1 -4 and 7-8. Activated parts in the patient may cling or be angry with the therapist at the end of an EMDR session, or during Re-evaluation. Failure or defectiveness parts of the therapist may become activated then as well. Different parts of a dissociative patient may appear with different kinds of transferences during different EMDR phases. These transferences challenge therapist’s abilities to stay attuned. Strategies of attunement to the activated part of the patient will be demonstrated in order to repair or prevent ruptures to the alliance and to understand the nature of the dissociated communication. Bi-directional interactions may activate parts of the patient and therapist without conscious awareness. Strategies to somatically identify and use these countertransferential activations will be taught through experiential exercises so that the therapist may have a more in depth understanding of the dissociative patient’s communications. R/D/I strategies will be reviewed and applied to the therapist to limit countertransference activations. Dealing with dissociative enactments are crucial to identify ruptures to the therapeutic alliance, restore attunement and resonance, uncover dissociative messages that can be used during EMDR processing.. Solutions to the problems that occur during different EMDR phases will be taught using lecture, discussion, case examples, written and experiential exercises so that participants will leave the workshop with additional strategies. Solutions include how to maintain attunement to dissociative parts during transferential activations while enhancing dual awareness; how to identify transference and countertransference problems during phases 1-4 and 7-8 and use them as additional sources of dissociated communications that can be used in EMDR processing ; how to use the Clinician Self Awareness Questionnaire to identify and process countertransference problems ; how to use compartmentalization strategies using R/D/I to limit countertransference activations; how to develop self soothing skills for the therapist’s dissociated parts; how and when to use Relational, Empathic, and Transferential Interweaves during Desensitization; and how to identify moments of enactments, and using EMDR strategies to deepen the EMDR experience .

Abstract:
Over the past two decades we have seen an increase in the relationship between Trauma and Addiction including eating disorders. Studies have focused on the psychobiological effects on the brain and PTSD symptomology. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing has gained great respect in the field for its efficacy and long term benefits with PTSD (Trauma Survivors) and Substance Abuse. Research suggests that PTSD clients are more responsive to treatments that specifically "process" traumatic memories such as EMDR. EMDR is an exposure treatment in which clients perform saccidic eye movements to process traumatic memories which in turn accelerates the processing of information involving a shift of cognitive structures ( including the assimilation of positive beliefs)." The application of EMDR apparently stimulates an inherent physiological processing system that allows dysfunctional information to be adaptively resolved, resulting in increased insight, cognitive restructing of potential relaspe triggers and physical cravings";Shapiro F.(1994). What we have learned over the years is that brain function can be altered by external stimuli; with the use of EMDR, eye movement "Naturally" occures in the rem sleep as well as activating it in the wake states has proven to be quite effective in the treatment of maladaptive behaviors: This workshop will look at this treatment modality its effectiveness and use with Trauma and Addictions; Workshop format will include lecture, case examples, and experiental exercises.

Abstract:
During the 2006 EMDRIA Conference, Dr. Shapiro laid the groundwork for understanding the EMDR Approach. The Adaptive Information Processing Model formulates the clinician’s development of an effective EMDR treatment plan based upon the client’s presenting problems. It is important that the clinician understand into which of the four possible arenas the client’s presentation falls. These four options are divided into two possible categories, Symptom and Comprehensive presentations. Symptom focused treatment plans address Single Incident PSTD, and Single Issue, brief treatment options. Comprehensive presentations involve Multiple Issues and/or complex PTSD. Each of these presentations require a different treatment plan conceptualization and targeting sequence strategy. This workshop will give clinicians concrete, practical history taking and targeting sequence guidelines through lecture, handouts, worksheets, and video demonstrations.

of the legacies of trauma, loss and attachment disruption,
we help our patients resolve their critical issues and develop
a blueprint for living.
Clear theoretical basics, technical innovation and practical
strategies for incorporating EMDR and Ego StateWork
will be provided through lecture, demonstration, experiential
work/practicum and case presentations.
Participants will learn:
1. The relationship of Ego State Theory to the Adaptive
Information Processing Model.
2. The rationale for an EMDR/Ego State Integrated Phased
Treatment Model in the treatment of complex trauma.
4. Specific stabilization strategies to help clients manage
dissociation and affect dysregulation throughout the
treatment.
5. Advanced techniques and interweaves that promote resolution
within the EMDR trauma processing phase.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Headaches are the most common pain-related complaint and the seventh leading ailment seen in medical practice. Yearly, over 35% of the population is affected by tension-type headaches. Migraine headaches are a common condition with one-year prevalence rates around 15%. Prevalence rates generally peak in the third and fourth decades but for many migraines become a chronic condition requiring a lifetime of treatment.
Migraine sufferers are frequently disabled during their acute attacks. A 2001 study found that 90% of migraineurs reported functional impairment. 53% required bed rest and nearly 30% missed 1 day of work or school within a 3-month period. Migraine in the USA results in 112 million bedridden days per year. The cost of the migraine to the total American work force is estimated at $13 billion per year in missed work days and lost productivity. Direct medical costs (i.e., MD office visits, prescription medication claims, and hospitalizations) for migraine care average $1 billion annually. Clouse & Osterhaus (1994) found that migraineurs generate twice the medical claims and two times the pharmacy claims in HMO’s when compared to patients without migraines.
Considering the sheet number of individuals afflicted with migraine and tension headaches, the societal impact with increased medical costs, lost work days, and reduced productivity represent a major public health concern.
The pharmacologic therapies have long been the most common and widely used method of treating headaches. Unfortunately, pharmacologic treatments are ineffective or inadequate for a sizeable number of patients. One third of patients participating in clinical trials with oral triptans fail to respond. Moreover, fewer than half become pain-free, which is the primary efficacy measure recommended by the International Headache Society. Reasons for considering an EMDR treatment for migraine and tension headaches are patient preferences for non-pharmacologic interventions, pregnancy, planned pregnancy or nursing, deficient stress coping skills, medication rebound, patient overuse of medications, medical contraindications, and poor medication tolerance.
In view of the state of the art of current headache treatment an EMDR approach that can eliminate severe headache pain in less time than an oral medication (20 to 30 min) and within 5 to 10 sessions may reduce frequency, duration and intensity of future headaches could result in a decrease in medication utilization, physician visits and overall medical costs, with an improvement in patient satisfaction. This would be a welcome addition to current headache treatments.
This workshop will employ lecture, demonstration and actual practice of an integrated EMDR approach. The purpose of this teaching strategy is to prepare you for clinical practice. Objectives include understanding headache etiology, headache trigger identification, threshold theory, training in the EMDR protocol used in Dr. Marcus’s migraine research, discussion of protocol utilization in clinical practice, informed consent, transference issues, and discussion of the role of provider when deploying this approach. This workshop is for advanced EMDR practitioners but previous experience in headache treatment is not required.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Patients exhibiting chronic dissociative symptoms are among the most complicated patients to be treated in psychotherapy. Their treatment tends to be a multi-faceted approach of which EMDR is only one part, albeit, a very important component.
The objective of this course is to assist the treating clinician in identifying the chronic dissociative patient, conceptualizing and implementing an effective treatment plan for the patient. This will include integrating the traditional three-stage model (stabilization, trauma work and integration) of working with patients with dissociative symptoms using the EMDR Eight Phase Treatment Model. Emphasis will be placed on stabilization and pacing the trauma work with individual patients.
This workshop format will include lecture and presentation of clinical case material. Participants are encouraged to bring clinical cases to the workshop for discussion.
Workshop Objectives:
Assess and identify clients presenting with dissociative symptoms;
•Formulate case conceptualization,
•Treatment planning to include EMDR based trauma processing,
•Integrate the 8 phases of EMDR with traditional treatment for trauma,
•Identify when clients with dissociative symptoms are ready for EMDR treatment,
•Pace the treatment, shifting between stabilization trauma reprocessing and relational work,
•Manage therapeutic complications that arise during treatment.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Twelve-step recovery models and EMDR are highly complementary when appropriately combined. In this workshop, participants will identify the most common problems encountered in traditional addiction treatment models and consider how proper implementation of EMDR can provide elegant solutions. Participants will learn how to apply knowledge from the literature to formulate a list of “best practices” for using EMDR with addicted populations. Finally, participants will learn how to utilize the standard EMDR protocol (along with some simplified variations) in a recovery-specific fashion to help clients overcome their recovery roadblocks. This workshop contains interactive lecture, video clips/discussion, small group discussion activities, and a live demonstration/discussion.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This presentation offers a systematic approach for the treatment of patients
with complex traumatization. The first step involves assessing the severity of
the illness, using Babette Rothchild's trauma classification. A variety of
techniques will then be introduced, all of which have recently been
successfully combined with bipolar EMDR stimulation, and which serve to
increase stability and resources ["a safe place", Forgash's body sensation
resource, working with the inner child, Popkin's "position of power",
Hofmann's absorption routine, the CIPOS-technique developed by Knipe and
Forgash, etc.]. The lecture closes with a survey of methods useful for
fractioning trauma in EMDR.

Abstract:
This workshop is for clinicians having completed an EMDRIA Approved EMDR training. While a great deal has been said about RDI development,
little has been said about the paths to follow and pitfalls to avoid when attempting to use them as cognitive inteweaves. Through lecture, case
example, and interactive participation, participants will be able to describe
the difference between "State" and "Trait" change. Participants will be
able to discuss how to develop "Target Specific" Resources. And by the
conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to demonstrate a number of traditional cognitive interweave methods using Resource as a
means of helping facilitate "State" change during EMDR reprocessing.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Effective treatment of trauma and addiction is a serious clinical challenge. The purpose of this workshop is to educate clinicians about the similarities between chemical and behavioral addictions, the negative consequences of leaving trauma untreated, and the expected benefits of using an integrated model of DeTUR™ (Desensitization of Triggers and Urges; Popky, A.J., 2001) and EMDR for the treatment of addictions. Participants will be able to describe the steps of DeTUR™ through lecture and demonstration. Participants will be shown how DeTUR™ can be integrated into the standard EMDR protocol, focusing on desensitizing triggers and urges, leading to identification of core traumas to be reprocessed.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Vicarious traumatization has been defined as the "negative effects of caring about and caring for others” (Pearlman and Saakvitne
1995), It results from exposure to clients’ traumatic material and can disrupt the therapist’s view of the themselves’, other people, and the
world. Vicarious Trauma has been discussed in terms of the Constructivist Self Development Theory (McCann & Pearlman, 1992), which states
that the changes in the therapist’s schemas and perceptions result from the interaction of clients’ stories and therapist personal characteristics.
In this context, vicarious traumatization can be understood through the Adaptive Information Processing Model (Shapiro, 199, 2001) where
current difficulties are understood to be the result of past experiences that are dysfunctionally stored in the brain. This workshop will focus on how EMDR can be used to treat Vicarious Traumatization by processing relevant past memories, present triggering
circumstances, and laying down a future template for adaptive future behavior. Lecture material will be supplemented by case examples and
demonstrations.
Se ha definido la traumatización indirecta como los “efectos negativos de preocuparse por y cuidar de terceras personas”
(Pearlman and Saakvitne 1995). Es la consecuencia de la exposición al material traumático de los clientes y puede perturbar cómo el terapeuta
se vea a sí mismo, a terceros y al mundo. Se ha hablado de la traumatización indirecta en términos de la Teoría del autodesarrollo
constructivista (McCann & Pearlman, 1992), que afirma que los cambios en los esquemas del terapeuta, así como en sus percepciones se
derivan de la interacción de las historias de los clientes y las características personales del terapeuta. En este contexto, la traumatización
indirecta se puede comprender a través del Modelo del procesamiento de la información a estados adaptativos (Shapiro, 199, 2001) en el
cuál las dificultades actuales se comprenden como el fruto de experiencias pasadas almacenadas en el cerebro de forma disfuncional.
Este taller se centrará en cómo se puede utilizar EMDR para tratar la traumatización indirecta mediante el procesamiento de los recuerdos
relevantes del pasado, las circunstancias desencadenantes en el presente y el establecimiento de una plantilla para el futuro para una
conducta adaptativa en el futuro. El material de la conferencia será suplementado con casos ilustrativos y demostraciones.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Our lab specialized in the study of behavioral/cognitive changes following focal brain lesions. Phenomena were once considered mere curiosities - such as phantom limb, anosognosia and synesthesia - have now become "main stream"
partly as a result of the work done by us and many colleagues throughout the
world. This lecture will focus on disturbances in body image, phantom limbs, anosognosia (denial of paralysis) and somatoparaphrenia (denial of ownership of a limb). A new theory will be advanced to account for these, especially the
latter two in terms of asymmetries between the two hemispheres "coping styles"; the left involved in "Freudian defences" aud the right playing thc role of a "devils advocate" or anomaly detector. The spectrum of normal and abnormal personality styles and behavior emerges from a push-pull antagonism between
these two opposing tendencies. Vestibular stimulation through calorie cold-water
irrigation produces eye movements (nystagmus) and shifts the balance between the two hemispheres during the "orienting" response and produces profound shifts in mood and/or body image. We found that the procedure "de-represses"
apparently repressed memories in patient with denial (anosognosia) and there is
an obvious analogy here with the therapeutic claims of EMDR. The possibility
that bipolar disorder may be based on such alternation between hemispheres was
first proposed by us in 1996 and has received some support. Consequently caloric nystagmus might potentially be useful in treating disorders such as bipolar, post-traumatic stress, complex regional pain type 1, and other neuro-psychiatric disturbances as outlined briefly in my book Phantoms in the Brain.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Working with survivors of trauma and abuse can challenge or shatter therapists' basic beliefs about safety, goodness, and meaning,
leaving one anxious, vulnerable, uncertain and prone to countertmnsference act-out. Through discussion and structured ewences
that allow for individual pacing, participants in this experiential clinic will have an opportunity to identify, transform, and work
through issues of the self of the therapist including countertransferences, parallel process, secondary traumatization, and the intense
and sometime immobilizing existential crises that may result from this work. The leader will endeavor to create an enjoyable playful
climate of mutual respect, trust, confidentiality and containment throughout the day.
Educational objectives:
A. Participants will engage in group and individual exercises designed to break with injunctions, scripts and
internalizations left over from the family of origin that have prohibited personal authority and experimentation.
B. Through lecture/discussion and exercises, participants will explore countextramference issues, secondary PTSD, and
common therapeutic impasses and the existential crises they evoke in the self of the therapist.
C. Participants will engage in group and individual exercises designed to assist in the resolution of on-going
countertransference issues growing out of their current clinical practice.
