1. Koshal, A. (2010, June). The 4-fields-technic in the traumatherapy of complex traumatized and drug-addicted people (in methadone-treatment). In Addictions. Symposium conducted at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Hamburg, Germany.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Nowadays several international studies demonstrate
that the problem of drug-addiction is very often found in combination
with complex traumatization in early childhood and
youth. (Felitti. 2903; Kufner et al. 2000; Langeland et al. 2006;
Schmidt, 2000 etc.)
As we all know PTSD and the other trauma symptoms cause a
lot of psychophysical dysregulation. So the psychiatrist Khantrian
postulated already 1985 the "self-medication hypothesis of addictive disorders". Janina Fisher, Trauma Center Boston, 2000, called
this assumed combination of trauma-consequences and drug-addiction,
"compensatory strategies aimed at self-regulation"
In many years of working with drug-addicted people it became
very obvious that a high percentage of this people are using drugs,
for example to calm down after being aggressive, may be caused by an argue: or to reduce strong inner tensions; to sleep without
nightmares, to alleviate the feeling of helplessness and fear etc.
Drugs and alcohol do reduce all the mentioned symptoms for
a while. To learn to cope in another, more adaptive way, the
addicted people need to learn alternatives strategies for a good
functioning self-regulation.
After stabilization, the trauma therapy can start, so the patient
can reduce some of the sources of psychophysiological dysregulation.
Even when the addicted people still get methadone psychotherapy
is possible. Practical experience over a long time.
started 1990, did show a lot of successful treatments and that
methadone does not interfere a traumatherapy.
The 4-Fields-Technic is a special method of EMDR that was
developed by Jarero et al. 1997 in Mexico after a hurricane
disaster. Dorothee Lansch modified the group method into a
therapy-setting for single persons.
For complex traumatized and drug-addicted people this technic
is very helpful. The focus is more easy to keep in mind, - in
front of the eyes. In the 4-Fields-Technic the patient focuses
on a self-painted picture, that represents the worst part of a
trauma experience.
The patient keeps his focus on this picture, combined with bilateral
stimulation, till he feels the picture should be changed.
And so the process is going on till finished.
The participant will be able to learn:
- about the correlation between complex trauma and drug-addiction
- that drug-addicted people who get methadone are able to do
trauma therapy
-the 4-Fieids-Technic as a method to create resources.
Psychotherapy and specially psychotraumatherapy with drug-addicted
people who are as well in a methadone-treatment is for
many therapists still controversial. This presentation will give you
an idea how good it can work, based on various case series.

The

is
a
special
method
of
EMDR
that
was

this
method
is
very
helpful.
The
risk
to
trigger

is
quite

because
the

(Felitti

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

show
a

Abstract:
In this issue several common threads weave through the articles that look at working with specific populations, the importance of working with the community in community centres, trauma, and integrating other models into our work. First, a professor from the University of Montreal presents his work with developmentally delayed and dual diagnosed adults in a community centre in Montreal. Then a specialist in the field of community art studio methods adds a political context to her work and takes us on a journey of the development of a community art studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And, lastly, a professor at the University of Victoria shares his groundbreaking research in art therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). The editorial also observes that it is always exciting to see Canadian Art Therapy researchers pioneer new areas and new ways of utilizing art therapy.

Abstract:
El Abrazo de la Mariposa fue originado y desarrollado por Lucina (Lucy) Artigas, M.A., M.T. (Fundadora de la Asociación Mexicana para Ayuda Mental en Crisis). Durante el trabajo realizado en Acapulco, Guerrero (México); con los sobrevivientes del huracán Paulina en 1997. (Artigas et al. 2000; Boel, 1999).
Por la creación y el desarrollo del Abrazo de la Mariposa, Lucina Artigas fue honrada con el Premio a la Innovación Creativa de la EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), en el año 2000.
El Abrazo de la Mariposa es una Estimulación de Atención Dual (EAD) que consiste en cruzar los brazos sobre el pecho. La punta del dedo medio de cada mano debe de quedar bajo la clavícula correspondiente y el resto de los dedos y la mano deben de cubrir el área que se encuentra debajo de la unión de la clavícula con el hombro y de la clavícula con el esternón. Para ello, mano y dedos deben de estar lo más verticalmente posible (los dedos dirigidos hacia el cuello y NO hacia los brazos). Una vez hecho esto, se pueden entrelazar los dedos pulgares (formando el cuerpo de la mariposa) y los otros dedos formarán sus alas.
The Butterfly Hug was originated and developed by Lucina (Lucy) Artigas, MA, MT (Founder of the Mexican Association for Crisis Assistance Mental). During the work done in Acapulco, Guerrero (Mexico), with the survivors of Hurricane Pauline in 1997. (Artigas et al. 2000; Boel, 1999). For the creation and development of the Butterfly Hug, Lucina Artigas was honored with the Award for Creative Innovation of the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), in 2000. The Butterfly Hug a Dual Attention Stimulation (EAD) that is crossing his arms over his chest. The tip of the middle finger of each hand should be under the collarbone for the rest of the fingers and hand should cover the area immediately below the junction of the clavicle to the shoulder and clavicle to the sternum. To do this, hand and fingers should be as upright as possible (fingers directed toward the neck and NOT to the arms). Once done, you can weave your thumbs (forming the body of the butterfly) and fingers form the wings.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
This randomized, controlled group field study was conducted subsequent to a 7.2 earthquake in North Baja California, Mexico. Treatment was provided according to continuum of care principles. Crisis management debriefing was provided to 53 individuals. After this, the 18 individuals who had high scores on the Impact of Event Scale (IES) were then provided with the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) Protocol for Recent Critical Incidents (EMDR-PRECI), a single-session modified EMDR protocol for the treatment of recent trauma. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: immediate treatment group and waitlist/delayed treatment group. There was no improvement in the waitlist/ delayed treatment group, and scores of the immediate treatment group participants were significantly improved, compared with waitlist/delayed treatment group paticipants. One session of EMDR-PRECI produced significant improvement on symptoms of posttraumatic stress for both the immediate-treatment and waitlist/delayed treatment groups, with results maintained at 12-week follow-up, even though frightening aftershocks continued to occur frequently. This study provides preliminary evidence in support of the protocol's efficacy in a disaster mental health continuum of care context. More controlled research is recommended to evaluate further the efficacy of this intervention.

Language: English

Abstract:
Hurricane Paulina ravaged Acapulco, Mexico, in October of 1997. Two weeks of
torrential rains, floods and landslides followed. At least 2500 people died. In one poor
neighbourhood on the banks of what had been an almost dry riverbed, 400 people were
buried alive before they could escape or be rescued. Despite acts of incredible heroism
which occurred during the hurricane and floods and in the following days, the initial
rescue efforts were hampered by the lack of infrastructure for emergencies of such scale.
The firemen worked alongside volunteers for 15 days taking only 'cat naps' in their
trucks. They received no psychological debriefing from the horrors they witnessed until
three months later, when Dr. Ignacio Jarero and I (as members of the Mexican
Association for Crisis Therapy core team met to debrief with them. Some of the most
stalwart rescuers with whom we spoke still had recurring images of partial corpses of
children stuck in trees and bodies of pregnant women floating along the main streets of
old Acapulco.

La Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos solicitó el apoyo de la Asociación Mexicana para Ayuda Mental en Crisis, con la solicitud de atender al personal forense de la Fiscalía General del Estado de Durango en México. Una sola sesión del Protocolo de EMDR para Incidentes Críticos Recientes fue brindada a 32 personas que estuvieron trabajando con 258 cuerpos recuperados de fosas clandestinas. Tanto los resultados estadísticos pre y post tratamiento, como el seguimiento que se hizo a los 3 y 5 meses, mostraron la mejoría de las personas atendidas y una significativa reducción en síntomas de estrés postraumático y de Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (TEPT), a pesar de que continuaron realizando el trabajo de recuperación de cuerpos extraídos de las fosas clandestinas y estuvieron expuestos continuamente a terribles estresores emocionales. Los resultados estadísticos obtenidos sugieren que la intervención ayudó a prevenir el desarrollo del TEPT en su fase crónica y a incrementar la resiliencia psicológica y emocional.

Summary.
The National Commission on Human Rights requested the support of the Mexican Association for Crisis Assistance Mental, with the request to address the forensic staff of the Attorney General of the State of Durango in Mexico. A single session of EMDR Protocol for Recent Critical Incident was given to 32 people who were working with 258 bodies recovered from mass graves. Both statistical results before and after treatment, the monitoring was done at 3 and 5 months, showed the improvement of people served and significant reduction in symptoms of posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), despite they continued doing the work of recovery of bodies extracted from the mass graves and were continuously exposed to terrible emotional stressors. The statistical results obtained suggest that the intervention helped prevent the development of PTSD in its chronic phase and increase psychological and emotional resilience.

This paper focuses on an intervention model for catastrophes that uses short term groups and the psychotherapeutic approach known as EMDR. Assisting a large amount of people is possible through this therapeutic intervention method, which has proven to be highly effective. Its purpose is to provide emotional relief and to ensure traumatic events are correctly processed, thus preventing the development of any traumatic sequels. Requirements for planning and excuting this type of intervention are described. Methodological conseptualisations that underline this approach, which has its roots in mental health in disasters model developed by Ignacio Jarero and Lucinca Artigas in Mexico, are explained. Some clinical cases are presented to illustrate the reprocessing of disruptive experiences and the results of intervention. This intervention achieves significant symptom reduction, as confirmed by measurements with scales as well as clinical and behavior observations. (Author abstract)
