Abstract:
Μια νεαρή γυναίκα, η Μαρία, δέκα εβδομάδες μετά από να υποστεί μια συντριβή αυτοκινήτων από τους ισχυρούς πονοκεφάλους και πόνους στο λαιμό. Οι δοκιμές, όμως έδειξε ότι δεν υπάρχει καμία οργανική βλάβη. τρομάζει εύκολα, ειδικά όταν είναι σε ένα αυτοκίνητο (φοβάται xanaodigisei μετά το ατύχημα). Η ξαφνική ήχος της κόρνας του προκαλεί πανικό. Όπως μπορεί να αποφύγει να βγουν στον δρόμο, ακόμη και τα πόδια της κυκλοφορίας. Η νύχτα ξυπνά μούσκεμα στον ιδρώτα, ενώ οι εικόνες από ατύχημα δεν τους αφήσουμε να κοιμηθεί. Αισθάνεται ένοχος και κατηγορεί τον εαυτό της ότι δεν ήταν αρκετά προσεκτικοί (από τη σύγκρουση τραυματίστηκαν ο οδηγός του άλλου αυτοκινήτου), επειδή δεν είναι σε θέση να θυμηθεί τι ακριβώς συνέβη. Η οικογένεια θεωρεί αλλάξει, είναι μελαγχολική και κλεισμένη στον εαυτό της.

Abstract:
A vignette is a brief case report that makes a contribution to the literature, but which has used only EMDR's standard protocol measures. This vignette describes the treatment of a woman who developed a severe choking phobia following an allergic reaction to a herbal beverage. She was hospitalized on several occasions because of her resultant inability to consume food and liquids. She received four years of various types of treatment for this phobia, including eating disorder treatment, brief psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychopharmacological treatment. None were successful in eliminating the disorder. Then when Mary received a course of EMDR treatment, addressing childhood etiological events, there was complete remission of the choking phobia and elimination of all related behaviors.

Abstract:
There is increasing evidence to support the biological basis of mental disorders. Subsequently, understanding the neurobiological context from which mental distress arises can help counselors appropriately apply cognitive behavioral therapy and other well-researched cognitive interventions. The purpose of this article is to describe the neurobiological context underlying the formation and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorders, a mental disorder frequently encountered by counselors, from a cognitive therapy framework.
Recent changes to the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (2009) accreditation standards include the need for counselors-in-training to understand the neurobiological basis of behavior, which marks a new direction for the training of professional counselors who have historically reacted ambivalently toward medical models for understanding client concerns and treatments. Yet recent findings in neuroscience actually support the verbally based interventions that counselors typically use in treatment; therefore, there is much to be gained by counselors and counselor educators in understanding the basics of human neurobiology and how commonly used counseling interventions intervene on these biological systems. The National Institute of Mental Health (2010) stated in a recent strategic plan that “Important discoveries in areas such as genetics, neuroscience, and behavioral science largely account for the substantial gains in knowledge that have helped us to understand the complexities of mental illnesses and behavioral disorders over the past 15 years” (“Introduction,” para. 4).
Given the increasingly biological focus of mental health research, the practicing counselor is faced with the task of understanding and using the emerging mental health treatments and explaining to clients, to reimbursing agencies, and to the broader public how counseling fits within the medically dominated mental health culture. Some counselors have long reacted ambivalently toward the pathologically oriented diagnostic categories of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV;American Psychiatric Association, 1994) system and the medication-dominated world of psychiatry. For example, the contrasting viewpoints on this issue were published in the Journal of Counseling & Development between Allen and Mary Ivey (1998, 1999) and Scott Hinkle (1999). Ivey and Ivey (1998) argued for a developmental interpretation to the DSM-IV, opposing what they called the “pathological view” (p. 334) of the manual. According to Ivey and Ivey, disorders could be viewed through a positive development tradition to lie not within the individual but within the contextual systems in which a person lives. Subsequently, disorders are viewed as a “logical response to a developmental history” (Ivey & Ivey, 1999, p. 484). By contrast, Hinkle (1999) argued that because anxiety and depressive disorders “are the most common clinical symptoms associated with presentation to counseling” (p. 475), the counseling profession is weakened if counselors shy away from direct participation in the DSM nomenclature and treatment parlance. As Hinkle indicated, “mental disorders according to the medical model describe disease processes, not people” (p. 475). Regardless of the reader's philosophical perspective, practicing counselors know participation in medical and psychiatric systems is necessary at times. Also, recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience are providing evidence that interventions often used by counselors have direct physiological impact on client neurobiology (Kennedy et al., 2007; Linden, 2006). For example, Felmingham et al. (2007) demonstrated significant differences in brain activity before and after 8 weeks of exposure therapy, which correlated with a reduction in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity. Similarly, Paquette et al. (2003) found that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alters the activation and metabolism of specific brain regions following successful treatment of spider phobia. These findings, along with others (for a detailed review, see Beauregard, 2007; Frewen, Dozois, & Lanius, 2008), are significant because they support the techniques, interventions, and approaches used by counselors and provide a mechanism by which counseling positively affects brain physiology. Within the emerging physiologically based treatment milieu, counselors should be prepared to articulate how cognitive counseling interventions make measurable changes to the client. Although cognitive-behavioral-based approaches are effective in the treatment of a number of psychiatric illnesses, adult PTSD is arguably one of the best understood mental disorders from a neurological perspective. It thus presents a valuable model for exploring not only the basic tenets of neurobiology but also the mechanisms behind its successful treatment. Furthermore, PTSD is a disorder that counselors will likely encounter in practice.
PTSD is a mental disorder characterized by a sudden onset of symptoms due to environmental exposure to a psychologically stressful event such as war, natural disaster, or sexual victimization. Thus, it provides a clear example of how, even in adulthood, neurological adaptation (in this case maladaptive changes) can functionally “rewire” the brain in a short period of time, resulting in a sustained array of clinical symptoms. The diagnostic criteria for PTSD are a history of exposure to a traumatic event meeting two criteria and symptoms from each of three symptom clusters: intrusive recollections, avoidant/numbing symptoms, and hyperarousal symptoms. A fifth criterion concerns duration of symptoms and a sixth assesses functioning (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).
The National Comorbidity Survey Replication, conducted between February 2001 and April 2003 (Kessler et al., 2005), determined that the estimated lifetime prevalence of PTSD among American adults is 6.8%, with women (9.7%) twice as likely as men (3.6%) to have the disorder at some point in their lives. These findings are very similar to those of the first National Comorbidity Survey conducted in the early 1990s (Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, Hughes, & Nelson, 1995), which was composed of interviews of a representative national sample of 8,098 Americans ages 15 to 54 years. In this earlier sample, the estimated prevalence of lifetime PTSD was 7.8% in the general population. As in the more recent survey, women (10.4%) were more than twice as likely as men (5%) to have PTSD at some point in their lives (Kessler et al., 2005; Kessler et al., 1995).

Abstract:
Na met veel succes deze workshop op de Europese congressen in Amsterdam en Hamburg te hebben gegeven, is Mariëtte gevraagd om ook op het Nederlandse congres haar kennis te delen. De workshop gaat over welke aanpassingen er nodig zijn om EMDR ook bij dissociatieve stoornissen te kunnen inzetten en aan de hand van de videoband van Maria zal getoond worden hoe dat werkt. De workshop is bedoeld voor therapeuten zijn die al werkende met getraumatiseerden bij een deel van hen stuiten op vroeger of ernstiger trauma dan ze aan het begin wisten en ook pas gaandeweg dissociatieve fenomenen ontdekken.
After this very successful workshop at the European conferences in Amsterdam and Hamburg have given, Mariette also asked the Dutch conference to share her knowledge. The workshop is about what changes are needed to EMDR also deploy and dissociative disorders on the basis of the videotape of Mary will demonstrate how that works. The workshop is intended for therapists already working with traumatized by a number of them encounter severe trauma or earlier than they did at the beginning and only gradually explore dissociative phenomena.

Abstract:
It may be very effective to seek brief psychotherapy to reduce the experienced stressfulness of unchangeable life circumstances or to evaluate possible changes in other conditions. 2) You may benefit from coaching in relaxation methods that can be added to your daily life to change the proportion of time you spend in a "relaxed" rather than "stressed" frame of mind. 3) The relatively new technique of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Restructuring) has been shown to be very efficient in reducing tensions and anxieties. 4) Since teeth-grinding is a behavioral expression of tensions we are not consciously aware of while asleep, hypnotherapy aimed at facilitating changes on the unconscious level or directly suggesting relaxed jaw while sleeping, can be particularly effective.

Abstract:
In the late '80s, Weathers and his wife Mary, also a Spokane psychologist, discovered an odd, new form of psychotherapy in California, called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Along with the usual talk and tears of traditional psychotherapy, the therapist periodically would sweep his or her fingers back and forth in front of the client's eyes 20 or 30 times.

Language: English
Format: Publication
Abstract:
Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a disorder characterized by controversy,
both with respect to its definition and its treatment. By definition, the RAD diagnosis
attempts to characterize and explain the origin of certain troubling behaviors in children.
The RAD diagnosis presumes that “pathogenic care” of a young child can result in an
array of markedly disturbed behaviors in social interactions and poor attachments to
caregivers and others. (See full definition in the body of this report). The RAD diagnosis
derives from the attachment theories of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. Several
authors question whether RAD is a valid diagnostic category, citing the overlap of
symptoms with Pervasive Developmental Disorder and other disorders, the inconsistent
connection to attachment theory, and the lack of empirical validation.

Abstract:
De therapie waaraan Mary zoveel had gehad, was Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), een behandeling waarbij de patiënt om te beginnen met zijn of haar ogen de vingers van de therapeut volgt, die deze van links naar rechts beweegt. Terwijl de patiënt zich concentreert op de oogbewegingen (of andere bilaterale stimuli, zoals klopjes op de knieën of geluidssignalen), functioneert de therapeut als een soort gids die de patiënt terugleidt naar de herinnering aan de traumatische ervaring, waardoor de patiënt geholpen wordt bij het opnieuw ordenen en uiteindelijk opnieuw verwerken van negatieve gedachten en emoties.
The therapy to which Mary had so much was Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a treatment where the patient to begin his or her eyes following the fingers of the therapist, who moves from left to right. While the patient focuses on the eye movements (or other bilateral stimuli, such as pats on the knee or beeps), does the therapist as a guide the patient goes back to the memory of the traumatic experience, so the patient is helped to re-organize and eventually reprocess negative thoughts and emotions.
