1. Lanius, U. F. (2004, September). Apego y disociacion, El papel de los opioides endógenos [Attachment and dissociation: The role of endogenous opioids]. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Montreal, Quebec Canada.
Language: Spanish
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Endogenous opiates play a major role in attachment and they are also involved in dissociative processes and somatoform dissociation. The presentation discusses the adjunctive use of opoid antagonists both during stabilization and trauma processing with EMDR and the neurobiology of opiate with regard to attachment and dissociation. It delineates the effects of effects on learning including support for a differential mechanism for EMDR as compared to Exposure treatment. It describes how to integrate EMDR processing and the use of opioid antagonists in the treatment of Complex PTSD.
Opiáceos endógenos juegan un papel importante en la adhesión y que también están involucrados en los procesos disociativos y somatomorfos disociación. La presentación trata sobre el uso complementario de los antagonistas de opoides tanto durante la estabilización y el procesamiento del trauma con EMDR y la neurobiología de los opiáceos, con lo que se refiere a la unión y la disociación. Se exponen los efectos de los efectos en el aprendizaje incluido el apoyo a un mecanismo diferencial para EMDR, en comparación con el tratamiento de la exposición. En él se describe la forma de integrar el procesamiento EMDR y el uso de antagonistas de los opioides en el tratamiento del trastorno de estrés postraumático complejo.

Language: English
Format: Book Section
Abstract:
Dissociative symptoms are common in traumatic stress syndromes (e.g., complex PTSD, disorder of extreme stress not otherwise specified [DESNOS], borderline personality disorder, and dissociative disorders). They commonly interfere with psychotherapy including EMDR treatment. It appears that the adaptive information processing system gets overwhelmed and shuts down, thereby barring the integration and resolution of traumatic experience and thus precluding positive treatment outcomes. A series of case studies by Ferrie and Lanius found that the administration of an opioid antagonist prior to EMDR treatment significantly reduced dissociative symptoms, somatization, and numbing, as well as aiding trauma processing. The present chapter describes the relevant scientific research, as well as a theoretical rationale and a protocol, for the use of opioid antagonists in trauma processing with EMDR. [Text, p. 121]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Endogenous opiates not only play a major role in attachment, but are also involved in dissociative processes and somatoform dissociation. We
present a series of case studies of severely dissociative clients. In our sample administration of an opioid antagonist significantly enhanced
EMDR processing. Possible caveats and contraindications are discussed.
Findings support the notion of a differential mechanism for EMDR as
compared to exposure treatment.

Abstract:
Participants will: 1) learn about the underlying neurobiology of opiates and dissociation; 2) become aware of possible caveats and contraindications for the use of opoid antagonists; and 3) learn how opoid antagonists may be used as an adjunctive treatment to EMDR processing in clinical practice.

Abstract:
EMDR is a powerful integrative psychotherapeutic intervention. However, in the case of disrupted attachment and significant dissociative symptoms EMDR can be destabilizing if used early on in treatment. That is, fragmentation of self and dissociative symptoms commonly interfere with information processing, thus barring the integration and resolution of the traumatic experience through EMDR. Dissociation interferes with clients sense of their own body, their ability to experience emotion, their capacity for emotional regulation and their sense of self. Addressing dissociative symptoms prior to proceeding with EMDR treatment is essential for positive treatment outcomes.
A neurobiological model is described that guides therapeutic interventions and integrates diverse approaches that include not only EMDR and relevant target selection, but also mindfulness, body therapy approaches, ego-state interventions, sensory integration, as well as neurobiologically based interventions. Such interventions can be used both in the preparation phase but can also form useful interweaves during EMDR information processing.
Using a neurobiologically informed approach, the case is made for the use of somatic and ego-state interventions when dissociation is a significant part of the clinical presentation. Specific focus is on different ego-state and body therapy interventions to increase awareness of the self and ones body. Body therapy and somatic interventions are distinguished from other psychotherapeutic interventions in that they are expressed in markedly slowed-down time, in order to give clients ample time to experience the felt sense of their bodies. Similarly ego-state work can be utilized to titrate information processing, as well as provide clients with internal resources that aid in enhanced information processing.
Attendees will gain knowledge about possible underlying neurobiological processes with regard to attachment, dissociation and adaptive information processing and how this relates to EMDR treatment. The workshop will teach specific interventions intended to stabilize clients, create safety, help the client stay connected or get reconnected and therefore minimize dissociative symptoms and their effect. Participants will learn how to effectively integrate different somatic and ego-state interventions in the treatment of attachment and trauma related syndromes and dissociative disorders, as well as how to enhance information processing during the EMDR treatment. The workshop also will discuss innovative use of opioid antagonists in the treatment of dissociative symptoms with a particular focus on EMDR.
