3. Darker-Smith, S. (2008, June). Anorexia nervosa: CBT versus EMDR (A preliminary study). Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, London, England .
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In treating clients with Anorexia Nervosa, what does appear to be consistent is the general view (e.g. Waller;
Treasure; Brewer) that recovery will take on average between 1 to 2 years with many clients suffering from this
disorder never making a full or complete recovery. 16 clients with a previous diagnosis of anorexia nervosa and
under medical supervision with a BMI of between 16.5 � 18 and still meeting criteria of Anorexia Nervosa (DSM
IV) were offered either EMDR (N.10) or CBT (N. 6). No therapeutic emphasis was placed directly on food in either
the CBT or the EMDR group (e.g. Fairburn). Those receiving EMDR recovered substantially quicker once the target
memory precipitating the Anorexic Onset was identified. Interestingly, food intake and weight increased
without needing to be targeted as a separate matter, once the �feeder-memory� had been adapted in 8 out of the
10 EMDR clients. Whilst the CBT group did improve, they continued to fluctuate in terms of active anorexic
patterns of behaviour and their weight or food intake did not appear to improve significantly. Although this is
only a preliminary study, the EMDR group reached �recovery� at around the 3 � 4 month mark, compared to the
CBT group, who still reported phobic reactions to both body-image and food at the 4 month mark. At the initial 1-
month follow-up post-study, the CBT group were still exhibiting symptoms of mental pre-occupation with diet /
weight compared to the EMDR group, who had reached normal BMI ranges (N. 9) and all reported little to no
pre-occupation with diet / weight. It would appear, on the basis of this preliminary study that the precipitators to
the development of Anorexia respond well to EMDR treatment targeting the precipitant memory. Furthermore, 6
of the EMDR group reported using the safe-space imagery to reduce their anxieties surrounding food and this
may have been a contributory factor in their recovery.

Abstract:
The functions of EMDRIA Approved Consultants include the provision of consultation and supervision. While consultation is not the same as supervision, there is some overlap and legal implications, with the ultimate goal being to ensure competent treatment of clients. This workshop will address methods to examine and assess the applicants’ developmental abilities regarding quality consultation, case conceptualization skills, as well as knowledge and ability to implement the EMDR treatment model. This workshop also seeks to build upon the skills that current consultants already possess, refining and upgrading their competencies in effectively assessing applicants in the above areas.

analysis of the studies conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)
Northeast Program Evaluation Center (NEPEC) reveals conceptual, methodological,

PTSD. Based on this limited, if not biased, data, the results were used for policy
purposes to dismantle inpatient PTSD hospital units and trauma-focus treatments.
Acritique is offered as a review to suggest how future studies might be conducted,
designed, and evaluated, including the need for independent, “outside”
peer reviews inasmuch as the issue of treatment outcomes generalizes to many

Culture-sensitive and resource oriented peer (CROP) - Groups as a community based intervention for trauma survivors: A randomized controlled pilot study with refugees and asylum seekers from Chechnya. Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies, 2011-1, 1-13.
Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Asylum seekers and refugees frequently suffer from post-traumatic stress and culturally sensitive methods towards reducing symptoms should be taken into account. The aim of the work reported here was to examine the effectiveness of Culture-Sensitive and Resource Oriented Peer (CROP) - Groups for Chechen asylum seekers and refugees towards reducing post-traumatic symptoms, anxiety, and depression. Some ninety-four participants were randomly assigned to 15 sessions of CROP - or Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) - Groups, to 3 single sessions of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), or to a Wait-List (WL). The results indicated that CROP was significantly superior to WL, and was equally effective as CBT in reducing post-traumatic symptoms, anxiety, and depression. Improvements still were present at three and six month follow-up occasions. EMDR yielded negative results. According to this pilot study, CROP-Groups pose a promising, culturally sensitive alternative to psychotherapy with Chechen migrants.

10. Lamphear, M. H. (2011). Effectiveness of the post critical incident seminar in reducing critical incident stress among law enforcement officers. Walden University, Minnesota. 3454138.
Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
Summative program evaluation was used to examine the effectiveness of the Post Critical Incident seminar (PCIS) in reducing traumatic stress symptoms of law enforcement officers (LEOs). Previous trauma theory research indicated when not addressed, the impact of such trauma leads to serious physical and mental health problems. The use of the PCIS with the study population had not been evaluated. This study was conducted, using archival data, to address this gap. The sample consisted of LEOs in the southeastern US. Officers participated in either PCIS-only or PCIS + EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) groups and were also categorized according to time since the incident. The Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) was administered at the start of each PCIS and again at 6 months. Dependent t tests were used to demonstrate significant pre/post decreases in IES-R scores for both groups. Of clinical concern at pretest, the IES-R scores for the PCIS + EMDR group were reduced to below the scale's threshold for clinical concern. Regression analyses were used to also document significant links connecting the time since the incident, type of incident, and gender with IES-R scores. These preliminary findings lend support for the PCIS, with implications for social change and further study: With continued research and recommendations, the PCIS can be enhanced to best help LEOs remain healthy and fit for duty, resulting in a safer society.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Presenter: Filiz Kaya
The present study is carried out within a psychological
counseling project which is governed by Istanbul metroplitan Municipality. The study was designed to assess the effects
of Early EMDR Intervention (EEI) on the victims of a terrorist
bombing in Gungoren, Istanbul. Subjects were the victims of
a terrorist bombing in Gungoren, Istanbul. The participants
were selected from a pool of children and adults, who lived in
Gungoren and scored high on the Turkish version of 'Impact of
Event Scale' (IES) and PTSD Symptom Checklist. The subjects
were contacted 2 days after the bomb attack so that we were
able to measure the event impact right after the traumatic experience,
which will help us to demonstrate how EMDR affects
the impact of the event more accurately.
Eye Movement Desensitization (EMD) as an EEI technique was
used to treat the child participants, whereas Recent Traumatic
Event Protocol (R-TEP) which incorporates the EMD and Recent
Event (RE) protocols, was received by the adult participants
The therapists (EMDR certified therapists, who were receiving
supervision) met with the participants weekly to work only on
the trauma of the bombing and participants completed impact
of Event Scale prior to each session. The number of the sessions was restricted to the completion of EMD and R-TEP. The study
is completed with a three month follow-up. Analyses of the
data collected from the participants demonstrates the level of
effectiveness of EMDR in children and adults, in prevention of
PTSD and the use of EMDR as a crises intervention tool.

Angeregt durch meine eigene Supervisionserfahrung und meine Rolle als Ausbilder für EMDR möchte ich meine Form der Supervision der therapeutischen Arbeit mit EMDR vorstellen. Ich wünsche mir, durch einen kollegialen Austausch zu neuen, und weiter verbesserten Konzepten zu gelangen. Die Grundhaltung der Psychotherapie mit EMDR spiegelt sich auch in der Supervision dieser Tätigkeit:
•im transparenten professionellen Rahmen,
•im ressourcengeleiteten Ansatz und,
•im strukturierten Vorgehen. Der Inhalt der EMDR-Supervision unterscheidet sich von üblicher Fallsupervision durch den hohen Stellenwert:
•von traumaspezifischer Gegenübertragung,
•der Notwendigkeit von Burnoutprävention, und
•der Wiederholung von Ausbildungsinhalten.
Nach einer Darstellung des äußeren Rahmens und des ressourcenorientierten Vorgehens schildere ich in der EMDR-Supervision besonders häufig angesprochene Themen.

Abstract:
Mit den zunehmenden Forschungsergebnissen im Bereich psychotraumatischer bedingter Störungen sind auch neuere erfolgreiche Zugänge zur Behandlung dieser Störungen entwickelt worden. Einer dieser neuen Ansätze ist die von Dr. Francine Shapiro in Palo Alto (Kalifornien) entwickelte und mittlerweile international anerkannte EMDR-Methode.
Diese in ihrer Effektivität gut belegte Behandlungsmethode verwendet einen
acht Phasen umfassenden Behandlungsansatz und kann in vielen Psychotherapien auch bei schwer dissoziativen PatientInnen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verarbeitung belastender Erinnerungen leisten.
Dies gilt auch für PatientInnen, die unter schwersten dissoziativen Störungen wie einer multiplen Persönlichkeitsstörung leiden. Die oft langwierige Behandlung dieser PatienInnen ist durch Methodenintegration und kann durch den Einsatz der EMDR-Methode sehr profitieren. Der diagnostische und behandlungstechnisch integrative EMDR-Ansatz bei diesen PatientInnen wird in seinen Forschungsergebnissen und klinischen Anwendungen im Einzelnen diskutiert werden.
Supervision will as well as coaching the professional competence of supervisees at the intersection of different factors: optimizing them accordingly serve the qualification, optimization and reflection of the professional action.
With the growing research in the field of psycho-traumatic disorders induced newer successful approaches to the treatment of these disorders have been developed. One of these new approaches is that of Dr. Francine Shapiro in Palo Alto (Calif.) has developed and now internationally recognized EMDR method.
This well-documented in effectiveness treatment method uses a
eight phases comprehensive approach to treatment and can afford in many psychotherapies in severely dissociative patients also important contribution to the processing of stressful memories.
This also applies to patients suffering from severe dissociative disorders, such as a multiple personality disorder. The often lengthy treatment of this PatienInnen is through integration of methods and can benefit by using the EMDR method very much. The diagnostic and treatment technique EMDR integrative approach in these patients will be discussed in its research and clinical applications in detail.

Abstract:
This paper tries to highlight the milestones of some of the Asian EMDR Associations and the evolution of EMDR Asia and the practices and challenges faced. Some of the issues are related to the parity of trainees’ qualifications with those from USA, Europe and within Asia. Similarly it impacts upon the training standards. Attention is also drawn to the cultural, language and economical diversity. The task ahead is to reinforce the uniformity of EMDR practice by developing accreditation procedures, standardization, training standards, contents and duration, selection criteria and requirements for the trainees and trainers, certification process, curriculum, linkages with associations, methods of supervision and consultation. UN agencies have a huge presence in Asia for developmental and relief work. UN agencies engaged in a wide range of the health spectrum could make a huge difference if they promoted the efficacy of EMDR for effective management of psychological health. This would include the use of EMDR not only for manmade and natural disasters, but also for other chronic and life threatening illnesses e.g. HIV, cancer and other psycho-social issues related to mental health.

Abstract:
EMDR ist eine psychotherapeutische Methode zur Behandlung traumatischer Erinnerungen. In seinem sehr gut lesbaren und informativen Buch beschreibt Ricky Greenwald, ein Pionier in der Anwendung von EMDR und einer der aktivsten Erforscher dieser Methode, wie EMDR zur Behandlung von Verlusterfahrungen, Ängsten, somatischen Problemen, Depression und Verhaltensproblemen von Kindern und Jugendlichen angewendet werden kann. "Das vorliegende Buch konzentriert sich auf den Einsatz von EMDR bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. EMDR ist eine noch recht neue Methode, und die meisten bei Kindern und Jugendlichen benutzten Varianten dieser Methode sind noch jüngeren Ursprungs. Der größte Teil des methodischen Materials, das in diesem Buch beschrieben wird, wurde bisher noch nicht veröffentlicht. Ich habe das Buch für all jene geschrieben, die lernen wollen, therapeutisch mit Kindern und Jugendlichen zu arbeiten, oder die ihre diesbezüglichen Kenntnisse erweitern wollen. Aus der Trauma-Orientierung bei der Durchführung einer Therapie in Verbindung mit verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen von EMDR sind einige innovative und effektive Ansätze zu gängigen Behandlungsbereichen entwickelt worden. Die Anwendung von EMDR in der Therapie erfordert eine formelle Ausbildung und Supervision, wie sie ein Buch allein niemals leisten kann. Doch können Leser, die bereits an einer EMDR-Ausbildung teilgenommen haben, dieses Buch auch als Leitfaden für die Anwendung von EMDR zur Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen benutzen." - Ricky Greenwald

"This book focuses on the use of EMDR in children and adolescents. EMDR is still a very new method, and most children and adolescents used variants of this method are even more recent origin. The bulk of the methodological material, which in this Paper describes has not yet been published. I wrote the book for those who want to learn therapeutically with children and young people to work, or want to extend their knowledge in this regard. From the trauma reference for the implementation of a therapy in connection with different applications of EMDR are some innovative and effective approaches to common treatment areas have been developed. The use of EMDR in the treatment requires a formal training and supervision as a book alone can never achieve. But to readers who are already suffering from EMDR have participated without training to use this book as a guide for the application of EMDR to treat children and adolescents. " - Ricky Greenwald

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
The eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) individual protocol for paraprofessional use in acute trauma situations (EMDR-PROPARA) is part of a project developed at the initiative of Dr. Francine Shapiro. This randomized clinical trial examined the effectiveness of the protocol administered by experienced EMDR therapists. There were 39 traumatized first responders on active duty randomly assigned to receive two 90-min sessions of either EMDR-PROPARA or of supportive counseling. Participants in the EMDR-PROPARA group showed benefits immediately after treatment, with their scores on the Short PTSD Rating Interview (SPRINT) showing further decreases at 3-month follow-up. In comparison, supportive counseling participants experienced a nonsignificant decrease after treatment and an increase in the SPRINT scores at the second follow-up. The significant difference between the two treatments provides preliminary support for EMDR-PROPARA's effectiveness in reducing severity of posttraumatic symptoms and subjective global improvement. More controlled research is recommended to evaluate further the efficacy of this intervention.

completed a questionnaire and 9 respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured interview,
giving a total of 83 respondents. 40% of both samples (which came from around the world)
reported experiencing difficulties with integrating EMDR into their clinical practice. The types of
difficulties which they reported included differences between EMDR protocol and the therapists’
original training and orientation, patient characteristics, therapists’ own anxieties and confidence
as well as organizational and management hostility to EMDR up to and including bullying of the
therapist in different ways including “being sent to Coventry”. These organization & management
issues are not covered in the current training model for EMDR and whilst supervision is necessary
post training, it is not be sufficient to address the organizational issues relating to integration of
EMDR into clinical practice. This will be highlighted in the presentation.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
EMDR has had a profound positive impact on the lives of many clients and has been shown in more than
twenty randomized, peer-reviewed trials to be effective in the treatment of PTSD. However, the DSM IV
definition of PTSD is focused on the single traumatic incident, and many clients seeking relief in therapy
have a damaging traumatic history that extended over repeated events or over many years. The term,
Complex PTSD (Herman, 1992, van der Kolk, 2005) has been proposed to describe a pattern of negative
effects of prolonged and extreme stress, particularly during childhood. The focus of this workshop
is to describe a theoretical framework, and specific therapy “tools” which may be useful in providing
effective therapy, within the EMDR Adaptive Information Processing Model, to individuals suffering with
Complex PTSD. Methods will be described that can make the healing power of EMDR more available to clients who are
avoidant, defensive, and/or highly vulnerable to dissociative abreaction, chronic shame, and unrealistic idealization of self or
of others. Important concepts and particular interventions will be illustrated through video examples and transcripts from
therapy sessions.

Abstract:
School refusal behavior is defined as a child-motivated refusal to attend school, or difficulties remaining in school for the entire day. As a heterogeneous condition, it can encompass aspects of phobic-type responses or separation anxiety disorder. This condition interferes with the child’s development as it impacts upon academic performance, family and peer relationships in the short-term realm. Long-term effects may include fewer employment and educational opportunities, as well as the development of psychiatric sequelae. This presentation will describe the use of EMDR as a comprehensive treatment for the child or adolescent with school refusal. Case presentations will describe assessment of the problem, with treatment of targets in the individual child or as part of a family systems intervention. Highlights will be placed on the rapid resolution of school refusal behaviors through the processing of traumatic incidents, versus those conditions requiring a more extended and extensive treatment program. The creative implementation of in vivo EMDR will be described in the successful classroom reintegration of two students

In working with clients with anorexia nervosa for the past 18 months, it has become apparent that while many clinicians continue to utilise a variety of treatment means, CBT or systemic family therapy are often treatments most frequently offered to the sufferer. However, what does appear to be consistent is the general view (e.g., Waller; Treasure; Brewer) that ‘recovery’ will take an average between 1 to 2 years with many clients suffering from this disorder never making a full or complete recovery.
With this in mind, sixteen clients with a previous diagnosis of anorexia nervosa and under medical supervision with a BMI of 16.5 – 18 and still meeting the mental criteria of anorexia nervosa (DSM IV) were offered either EMDR (N.10) or CBT (N.6). Starting with the premise that most sufferers of anorexia nervosa argued that simply ‘eating’ is not the answer – but rather the mechanism by which control is maintained – it was agreed that regular weigh-ins and the use of food journals would form part of the study – however, no therapeutic emphasis would be placed directly on food in either the CBT or the EMDR group.
Those receiving EMDR recovered substantially quicker and with less food-related exposure, once the target memory precipitating the anorexic onset was identified. Interestingly, food intake and weight increased without needing to be targeted as a separate matter, once the ‘feeder’ memory had been adapted in 8 out of the 10 EMDR clients. In the remaining two clients, behavioural experiments targeting the “practice of behaving (and eating) normally’ one day a week in order to reduce the fear of ‘normality’ was used with good effect.
Whilst the CBT group did improve, they continued to fluctuate in terms of active anorexic patterns of behaviour and their weight or food intake did not appear to improve significantly.
Although the trial lasted for 6 months duration, on average, the EMDR group reached ‘recovery’ at around 3-4 month mark, compared to the CBT group of which five noticed ‘improvement,’ however, did not appear to have increased weight and still reported phobic reactions to both body-mage and food at the 4 month mark. One in the CBT group did make a significant improvement based on cognitive restructuring alone and this client did increase weight and intake significantly at the same ratio as the EMDR group.
At the initial 1-month follow-up post-study, the CBT group were still exhibiting symptoms of mental pre-occupation with diet/weight compared to the EMDR group who had reached normal BMI ranges (N.9) and all reported little to no pre-occupation with diet/eight.
Although this study is still pending follow-ups of all clients, there would appear, on the basis of this preliminary study that anorexia nervosa appears to respond better to EMDR in shorter treatment duration than CBT.
Furthermore, six of the EMDR group reposed using safe-space imagery to reduce their anxieties surrounding food and this may have been a contributory factor.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
EMDR is an innovative and rapidly expanding new, treatment technique. Therapists are provided with two weekends of intensive
training and encouraged to obtain supervision and be active in peer consultation groups and networks, and work to refine their skills.
It is uncertain what percentage follow through in this regard.
Estimates of the numbers of people who are victims of sexual trauma in our society are staggering (one in 3 girls, one in seven boys).
Research finds that approximately half the people who present for psychotherapy have some sexual trauma in their history. EMDR
has been hailed as an important new technique in facilitating the treatment of those who have been sexually traumatized. With
correct usage, EMDR can greatly facilitate the treatment. At the same time, sexual trauma is a complex and volatile issue and
awkward, poorly timed, or overly simplistic usage of EMDR could potentially lead to adverse consequences for the patient and
treatment. As with any therapeutic technique or paradigm it can only be as helpful as that of the overall treatment. In addition the
mere usage of EMDR will have an impact on the therapy, as well as the therapeutic container, and therapists need to be cognizant of
what that impact will be as well as to be sure that they know how to incorporate the patient reactions into the treatment in a positive
way and not allow them to undermine, or otherwise detrimentally effect both patient and therapist primary therapy goals.
Particularly in these times of increased litigation, malpractice suits, and professional grievances against therapists those
professionals utilizing EMDR would be wise to be aware of the particular risks inherent in the patient population in which they
work, as well as the inherent vulnerability of utilizing a newly developed technique. In treating sexual trauma many experts agree
that the crucible of the therapeutic container- is whether the healing will occur if the therapist sucessfully deals with the
challenges the patient will offer lip. Again how those utilizing EMDR negotiates those challenges may be he difference between a
successful course of therapy and a disaster.
Finally, working with sexual trauma is an emotionally, intellectually, and sometimes physically demanding undertaking. Many
therapists do not fully realize or acknowledge the toll that this type of work exacts and may be blind to the countertransferentia1
responses which arise and how they are communicated to the patient.
In this workshop we will first reveal, some of the current thinking on the primary treatment issues (and obstacles) in therapy with
victims of sexual trauma. We will then examine how and when is the most propitious time to use EMDR with this population and
what reactions patients are likely to have to this type of intervention. Specific ways that EMDR and its implementation may activate
certain issues in sexual trauma victims be elucidated as well as strategies for addressing those issues. Finally participants will
engage in a series of experiential exercises designed to heighten their awareness of their own personal reactions and feelings (i.e.,
countertransference) to working with the intensity of sexual trauma. Once again these potential reactions will be linked to more or
less effective usage of EMDR.

Abstract:
In the last 20 years EMDR has progressed from that of a technique to a psychotherapeutic method. Yet the format
of EMDR trainings remains fairly short in duration. This workshop will outline some of the research findings from
a Delphi study that were carried out with an international group of EMDR Consultants which explored four areas:
1. EMDR Protocol
2. Teaching & Learning of EMDR
3. EMDR Research & Development
4. Professional Standing of EMDR
The implications of the research findings will be discussed in relation to ‘core characteristics’ of the EMDR
Consultant and will utilise a model of clinical supervision as a framework for ascertaining EMDR clinical skills
and competency. Learning objectives:
• Critically consider the current teaching and learning of EMDR
• Integrate the core aspects from a Delphi study which explores aspects around EMDR practice, development
and clinical governance
• Evaluate the key components of EMDR Consultants with particular reference to EMDR clinical supervision and

Abstract:
Research on psychotherapy with children is generally underrepresented in the empirical literature.
Currently, there are four randomized clinical trials (RCT) evaluating EMDR in individual psychotherapy
with traumatized children—two for children diagnosed with PTSD and two for children presenting with
symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Since the first case studies of EMDR with children were published in
1993, 19 studies were identified that met the inclusion criteria for this review. The gold standards identified by Foa and Meadows (1997) to assess the methodology of studies designed to treat trauma were
applied to the research on EMDR with children. This analysis discusses the challenges to conducting
research on psychotherapy with children including the debate regarding the assessment and diagnosis of
PTSD in children. Recommendations for future studies designed with methodological rigor are suggested
to investigate the efficacy of EMDR with children who have experienced trauma and other mental health
symptoms and diagnoses.

Abstract:
Following a decision by NHS Lanarkshire to provide funding for training in
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) 11 professionals,
including clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists, a clinical associate and
a psychological therapist undertook the three-part training in 2008 and 2009 provided
by EMDR workshops, a leading UK EMDR training organisation and affiliated to the
European EMDR Network. The rationale for providing this training was to allow staff
to offer a variety of therapeutic interventions for individuals who have experienced
trauma. EMDR is an evidence-based treatment for trauma and is recommended by the
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines as a treatment
for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Whilst it is acknowledged that there
continues to be some debate within clinical psychology regarding the use of EMDR
and its scientific status, this will not be discussed within this article (see Van Etten &
Taylor, 1998; Davidson & Parker, 2001; and Chemtob et al., 2000 for more information).
As most of the therapists who undertook this training already had experience
of working with trauma, mostly within a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) framework,
it was felt that providing an additional theoretical and practical framework for
working with these individuals would provide further client choice

evidence that EMDR is better than no treatment and ineffective treatments, but no more effective
than other treatments that use some aspect of exposure therapy (Devilly, 2002; McNally, 1999);
and there is growing evidence that a cognitive-behavioral treatment including exposure is
superior to EMDR for long-term effectiveness (Devilly & Spence, 1999; Taylor, Thodarson,

Format: Conference
Abstract:
The learning objectives are as follows;
By the end of the workshop, participants will demonstrate:
An awareness of the potential value of group EMDR for traumatised
clients.
An understanding of the place of group EMDR as a final stage
in treatment, after individual EMDR trauma therapy.
Familiarity with a range of EMDR techniques which are useful
in this mode of treatment.
This experiential workshop will commence with a short Power-
Point presentation, including some client material.
There will then follow a brief discussion, followed by an opportunity
to try out a group experience of using EMDR techniques
The use of group EMDR as a stage of EMDR trauma treatment
arose from the expressed need of clients for a sense of shared
experience, and peer support as they returned to everyday life
as a changed person. Many have physical impairments as a re^
suit of their traumatic experiences, and feel a sense of empathic
understanding when sharing their difficulties.
A further benefit has been the improved reflective functioning displayed
by the group members, which may be related to greater
Vagus nerve relaxation, and resulting increased neocortical activity.
The workshop leader is an accredited EMDR practitioner, who
has been treating traumatised people individually and in groups
for more than thirty years, and has been using EMDR in groups
increasingly in recent times.

Abstract:
The Sri Lankan society is hugely affected by combat related stress as a result of the 30 year armed conflict. Combatants as well as a large number of civilians including members of the LTTE have undergone a tremendous amount of war related stress for the last 3 decades. There had been large military operations where the combatants were directly exposed to hostile battle conditions. Following these traumatic combat events a considerable number of soldiers became psychologically wounded. Deplorably Psychological wounds of the Eelam war were not addressed appropriately. As a result of the armed conflict in Sri Lanka a callous wave of PTSD, Depression, Somatization, and Adjustment Disorders etc has been generated. Many cases are not yet diagnosed entirely and following the late reactions of combat trauma the numbers would be high. To heal the war trauma in Sri Lanka an effective psychotherapeutic method was needed. In 2005 the EMDR HAP trained Sri Lankan mental health clinicians to use EMDR to deal with psychological trauma. EMDR was effectively used to treat Sri Lankan combatants. Many of the EMDR sessions were conducted under the supervision of the EMDR HAP facilitators. Following these treatment the Sri Lankan combatants with PTSD and Depression showed positive therapeutic outcome. Their psychological distress reduced significantly. This article reveals the efficacy of EMDR in the treatment of four combatants with PTSD and two with Depressive Disorder. After 5 to 8 sessions of EMDR most of the veterans became free of their disturbing symptoms and today living productive lives.

Abstract:
40% of Therapists trained in EMDR report difficulties
integrating EMDR into their clinical practice. This paper will report
on a qualitative study of Therapists who were interviewed
as part of my Doctoral research project at the University of
Middlesex, London. The paper will explore and report on the
types of difficulties which therapists are reporting and the reasons
why. It will explore ways forward to resolve these issues
including the implications for training, and the need for ongoing
clinical supervision post training.
Participants will learn of the difficulties in integration of EMDR
in clinical practice and the reasons why.
Participants will come away with a better understanding of the
professional and organizational difficulties involved in integration
Participants will also learn how to resolve these issues.
This study is unique because it is the first study undertaken with
Therapists trained in EMDR outside the USA and because the
qualitative nature of the study is counterbalanced with the findings

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Notes that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has been the focus of a good deal of research. While the mechanisms of action associated with EMDR continue to be hotly debated, ample research evidence has accumulated to indicate that this treatment is associated with positive benefits, at least compared to other established treatments for many anxiety disorders. The current special series of this journal is designed to illustrate preliminary results of research programs and early pilot studies of ways in which this treatment may be extended and modified to improve its effects and expand its range of applications. It should be noted that the modified peer-review criteria applied to these preliminary studies require further research be initiated on these ideas before they are widely applied in clinical practice.

Abstract:
This study investigates the experiences of participants (N=103) who had
undertaken EMDR Level 1 or 2 training in Ireland. The audit ascertained
participant's core profession, main psychological treatment orientation,
present utilization of EMDR within current clinical practice, number of clients
treated, types of referral issues, average number of sessions, and provision
for clinical supervision. In addition participants provided feedback as to their
views on their EMDR training experience. EMDR trainings were criticised in
areas which included participant involvement, group practicum's,
competency and fitness to practice, clinical supervision, post training
professional development, and the lack of any systems of assessment of
either knowledge or application of EMDR. The findings were integrated into
the development of a university based EMDR training at Masters Degree
level with multiple modes of assessment.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
These were subject to statistical analysis using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
and Chi-Square tests to examine the relationships between Questionnaire items for
significance. A total of 9 subjects agreed to be interviewed regarding their EMDR practice
and integration issues. This qualititative data was content analyzed. No differences were
found between both groups on Biodata factors, years of experience as a Therapist or years
using EMDR which gives further confidence in the results when comparing both cohorts.
Results: Respondents endorsed two types of explanation as to why they believed EMDR
works (ie) EMDR facilitates communication between the Limbic system and Frontal Lobes
(77%) and Adaptive Information Processing (73%). This suggests that Therapists are not
just following Shapiro’s AIP model slavishly but are rather making up their own minds.
There were no significant differences between Analytic, CBT, Integrative and Humanistic
Therapists in terms of explanatory mechanisms endorsed about EMDR’s “active
ingredient”. CBT Therapists found it easier to incorporate EMDR into their clinical
practice than Analytic or Humanist Therapists. This finding was supported by the results of
the qualitative interview data. Indeed, up to 40% of Therapists sampled experienced
difficulties in integrating EMDR into their clinical practice, post training. The types of
difficulties identified included: Differences in theoretical beliefs, more active style of
EMDR, structure of EMDR Protocol, Therapist confidence issues, Organizational
issues and hostility from clinical colleagues, bullying, lack of supervision and support
post training.
Conclusions: The results of this study confirm findings from earlier studies regarding
Therapists’ beliefs about EMDR but also extend those finding internationally so that
previous findings can now be accepted as universal given that this present study
contained respondents from three other continents other than North America. This study
also found that up to 40% of Therapists trained in EMDR experienced significant
difficulties in integrating EMDR into their clinical practice post-training. Analytic and
Humanist Therapists reported the biggest difficulties which included conflict with the
Therapists’ original theoretical model, the EMDR Protocol structure itself, Therapist
confidence and lack of supervision and support, Organizational and Management issues of
opposition to EMDR and Therapist Bullying. The implications for EMDR training are
discussed and communicated to relevant EMDR Training Organizations.

aper 1 of 2: In its twenty-year history, EMDR has evolved

studies and qualitative analyses have identified
distinct treatment effects (including a rapid reduction of subjective distress) that differentiate EMDR fiom other therapies. This workshop will explore some essential conceptual and procedural elements necessary to practice EMDR. A thorough understanding of the elements allows for both flexibility and comprehensive attention

Language: English

Abstract:
Making EMDR User Friendly For Asians:
1. Training Asians in EMDR
• Issues of confidentiality
• Fears of being judged by colleagues
• School systems in Asia being shame based
• Shame in speaking about personal issues
• Poor knowledge of own emotions
• Issues of fate and karma
• Need for Asian facilitators to be assertive with authority figures
• Hesitancy of Asian trainees to ask questions
• Western facilitators receive more compliance but need for Asian facilitators
• Need for translated material to be in colloquial language
• Need for Asian vignettes.
2. Practicing EMDR by Asian practitioners and for Asian clients:
• Problems with extremes – SUD’s and VOC,
• Clients struggle with emphasis on individual not family,
• Loss of face for practitioner to use manual,
• Most Asian clients have poor imaginative or visualization skills,
• Physical sensations are more available than emotions,
• Lack of anger at abusive family members and authority figures,
• Issues of ghosts and superstitions.
3. Supervision of Asian EMD, • Provide supervisees of own mistakes,
• Providing supervision in countries where there are no consultants or facilitators,
• Can provide Western supervisors-but best might be co-leading supervision with a local practitioner.
My material for this presentation has been developed over 13 years of using EMDR with Asian clients and from 10 years of
providing facilitation and supervision for EMDR trainees. Also my many years in Asia, speaking the languages and having
been partly raised by Chinese nannies, have given me an understanding of Asian values, family organization and taboos. I
would like this workshop to provide a springboard for discussions with the attendees in collecting other ides for making EMDR Asian friendly.

Abstract:
EMDR training is always a challenge. Training paraprofessionals
across cultures in low- income countries in a safe and sustainable
way is an even greater challenge. Under the auspices of
EMDR-HAP, we recently offered training to paraprofessionals in Nepal,
who work with victims of torture. The training consisted of four key
elements:
1. The paraprofessionals who participated had been trained and
were experienced in effective counseling methods other than EMDR.
2. The training was tailored to the needs of the trainees, to
the needs of their clients, and included a significant amount
of supervised practice.
3. It was a combined effort with a visiting trainer and a seasoned
EMDR therapist who was associated with and had prepared the
trainees for the training.
4. This local clinician offered immediate and on-going follow

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Comments on the book by Francine Shapiro (see record 2001-05049-000). I was fortunate to observe Shapiro’s concern for the principles of science in the development of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). She insisted that EMDR be called experimental until after there was supportive peer-reviewed literature, limited training to mental health professionals, and strongly encouraged research. EMDRIA and its peer-reviewed journal have generally continued in this admirable direction. However, when an association is organized around a specific method of treatment rather than a problem area or a more general philosophy of approach, the question of orthodoxy must be addressed. At its best, orthodoxy ensures that practice is consistent with what has been demonstrated to be worthwhile, and all benefit from adherence. Also, there are aspects of the adaptive information processing (AIP), as it is described in the text, that are debatable and some that appear even self-contradictory. One example is Shapiro’s claim that the AIP is a “psychophysiological” model while also denying that enough is known about the details of psychophysiology to offer an explicit model.

Abstract:
After war 1992–1995 in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH), whole population was highly psych-traumatized. Mental health therapists had no enough capacities to meet needs of population. They are permanently in need to increase their psychotherapy capacities. EMDR is a powerful, state-of-the-art treatment. Its effectiveness and efficacy has been validated by extensive research. National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended it as one of two trauma treatments of choice.
Aim:
To describe non profit, humanitarian approach in sharing skills of Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR) to mental health therapists in BH from Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP) of UK & Ireland.
Method:
Authors described educational process considering the history of idea and its realization through training levels and process of supervision.
Results:
Highly skilled and internationally approved trainers from HAP UK & Ireland came four times to Psychiatry Department of University Clinical Center Tuzla in BH where they provided completed EMDR training for 24 trainees: neuro- psychiatrists, residents of neuro-psychiatry and psychologists from eight different health institutions from six different cities in BH. After finishing training process, trainees are obliged to practice their EMDR therapy in daily practice with real clients under the supervision process of HAP UK & Ireland trainers to become certified EMDR therapists. Regarding big physical distance between supervisors and trainees, supervision will be realized via Skype Internet technology.
Conclusion
Psychotherapy capacities of mental health psychotherapists in postwar BH could be increased with enthusiastic help of EMDR trainers from HAP UK&Ireland.

Participants were then asked to provide feedback as to their views on their EMDR training experience. Results demonstrated a significant proportion of practitioners integrated EMDR with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy more than any other paradigm. EMDR trainings were criticised in areas which included participant involvement, post training, professional development, and systems of assessment of knowledge and application of EMDR. The findings suggest a need to develop competency based curriculum training in EMDR. Arguments will be presented to support the need to teach EMDR within a wider clinical context.

Abstract:
This article focuses on the ethical and legal aspects of family therapy students' use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with clients. Furthermore, the article discusses the ethical necessity for clinicians and supervisors to practice within the limits of their competency. EMDR is a particularly excellent example because of the unknown mechanisms at work to create change in clients. Therefore, there is no common language or knowledge base that supports the use and supervision of EMDR in the same way that practicing or supervising a variety of "traditional talk" counseling techniques might be appropriate without specialized training. The majority of supervisors of students and practicing clinicians were trained in variety of theoretical orientations. The training experience is most certainly one in which the training facility and the supervisors want to encourage learning new and helpful techniques for facilitating change with the clients. It is incumbent on the facility to require the appropriate level of training and experience before students venture into new techniques.; (AN 3350110)(Ebsco)

Abstract:
Treatment fidelity is of primary concern in treatment research, because unless the specified
treatment is being properly implemented, the study’s findings cannot be interpreted. In addition to
the “gold standard” of videotaping sessions for later supervision and fidelity rating - which is costly
and labor-intensive - there are many procedures to support treatment fidelity, including manualizing
the treatment, providing training, and providing supervision. I have developed a “session checklist”
form as another tool in support of treatment fidelity. This form, keyed to the steps specified in the
treatment manual, prompts the therapist to implement each component of the intervention, to take
notes along the way, and to check off those steps which were completed. This form supports
treatment fidelity by reminding the therapist what to do, and by serving as an organized record of
the session, to facilitate supervision as well as fidelity rating. A sample session form is presented.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to illustrate a self-reparation
model within the framework of a supervision conducted my me.
a therapy plan was defined for my colleague whose patent’s
traumatic experience brought to light her own unresolved traumatic
material.
This innovative approach is not limited to the parallel therapy involving
both patient and therapist, but is an intervention model.
a syncletic approach integrating the standard EMDR protocol and
other contributions: the attachment theory. Freud's and Bion's
'dream-work', A, van der Kolk's and 0,van der Hart's dissociative
disorders treatment, Forgash's and Knipe's Ego States Therapy, A.
Shore's affection regulation and self-repair therapy, Eigen's vision
of damaged bonds.
Maternal abandonment was the common traumatic event. The
patient's mother abandoned him at birth in hospital, where
he remained for a year before being institutionalized and then
adopted. My colleague was abandoned by her mother when she
was one year old. The transition from supervision to EMDR was
facilitated by the vast dream material produced by my colleague;
her dreams represented targets for EMDR.
According to Eigen, dream-work addresses the damage inflicted
on the self, thus the traumas experienced, and plays a major role
in digesting the impact of events and in metabolizing emotions:
through the dreams we try to make the indigestible digestible.
Dream-work constantly reveals states of the self: dreams evolve
within damaged bonds and express the psyche's attempts to undo
the damage or to get the best from it.
EMDR shares the same objectives and tools same as dreams.
At an operational level, EMDR made it possible to analyze the
dream material and to integrate the dissociated dream material
related to the traumatic, catastrophic abandonment induced
damage. The Ego States Therapy allowed my colleague to talk
with her dissociated Ego States, to negotiate with the States a
higher behavioural model, and to free her Ego States held hostage
by others.
At the end of this journey, a dream expresses Ego States integration.
Work on the future using EMDR is concluded with these
thoughts "I want to thank you because the supervision, albeit
not therapy, was an important experience that opened up a new
space for me: the space of perspective. The beam of light crossing
the two sheaves in the dream gives a meaning to the supervision,
supervision has created a third dimension in me: the dream within
the dream. It is the vehicle, the skill to perceive this dialogue
space, intersubjective and intrasubjective, where things change.
It alleviates the feeling of being impotent. The dialectical position
enables me to speak. I am very grateful for that."
My colleague's dreams were incorporated in a dream network
and indicate the phases of EMDR induced mental digestion. My
colleague has rebuilt herself in a supervision scenario.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of EMDR in hitherto
unthought-of areas, i.e., within the framework of supervision.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
As counselling is a developing profession without statutory regulation in Australia, anyone can engage in counselling practice and use “counsellor” as a professional title. Not much is known about those who call themselves counsellors in Australia. This survey research in a field setting aimed to describe Australian Yellow Pages Advertised Counsellors, thus providing a snapshot of advertised counsellors in Australia. This research was thus designed to describe those who are engaging in advertised counselling practice in Australia. Data was collected using a multiple mailing survey method and resulted in a 62.2% return rate. The counsellors' (1) demographic characteristics, (2) counselling training and development, (3) provision of counselling services, and (4) professional involvement were assessed. Advertised Australian counsellors tend to be female, mature, Caucasian, married or partnered, heterosexual, have families, and hold Christian beliefs. The majority of counsellors live in urban areas. The field could arguably benefit from increasing the diversity of its members. Nevertheless, advertised Australian counsellors are qualified professionals who tend to hold university qualifications and are likely to have received their training in counselling from a university provider. They are experienced service providers and engage in ongoing supervision as a supervisee. Moreover, these counsellors are involved in a variety of professional organizations. Advertised Australian counsellors, however, often struggle with issues related to burnout. They demonstrate their belief in the power of counselling by engaging in personal counselling. Advertised Australian counsellors actively engage in professional development, read professional journals, and report wanting further training regarding cognitive behaviour therapy, family therapy, EMDR, hypnosis, and trauma‐related difficulties. The majority of counsellors indicate making $40,000 or less per year. Survey results clearly indicate that the professionalisation of counselling is underway. Tandis que le counseling est une profession en développement sans régulation statutaire en Australie, n'importe qui peut s'engager dans la pratique du counseling et utiliser le titre professionnel de “conseiller.” Très peu est connu sur ceux qui se prétendent conseillers en Australie. Cette enquête visait à décrire les conseillers annonçant dans les pages jaunes en Australie, permettant d'avoir une image de ces derniers. Elle cherchait donc à décrire ceux qui étaient engagés dans la pratique du counseling publicisé en Australie.

Les facteurs évalués chez les conseillers incluent: (a) les caractéristiques démographiques, (b) la formation et le développement en counseling, (c) les services desservis et (d) l'implication professionnelle. Les conseillers australiens publicisés tendent à montrer les caractéristiques suivantes: femmes, matures, caucasiens, mariés ou en couple, hétérosexuels, ayant une famille et ayant des croyances chrétiennes. La majorité des conseillers vivent dans les zones urbaines. Le domaine peut sans conteste bénéficier d'une plus grande diversité de ses membres. Néanmoins, les conseillers australiens publicisés sont des professionnels qualifiés qui tendent à posséder des qualifications universitaires et qui sont susceptibles d'avoir reçu leur formation en counseling d'une université. Les conseillers australiens publicisés sont des professionnels d'expérience et sont engagés dans de la supervision en tant que supervisés. De plus, ces conseillers sont impliqués dans une variété d'organizations professionnelles. Cependant, ils font souvent face à des problèmes reliés au burn‐out. Ils montrent leur croyance dans le pouvoir du counseling en recevant eux‐mêmes des services de counseling. Les conseillers australiens publicisés s'engagent activement dans le développement professionnel, ils lisent des revues professionnelles et ils rapportent vouloir davantage de formation sur la thérapie cognitivo‐comportementale, la thérapie familiale, la désensibilisation et le retraitement du mouvement de l'oeil, l'hypnose et les difficultés reliées aux traumatismes. La majorité d'entre eux indique faire 40,000$ ou moins par année. Les résultats de cette enquête indiquent clairement que la professionnalisation du counseling est sur la bonne voie. Debido a que en Australia el consejo es una profesión en desarrollo sin reglamentación estatutaria, cualquier persona pued.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
The mainstream treatments for Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) are Cognitive Behavioral and Prolonged
Exposure Therapies (CBT & PE). These closely studied evidence based
treatments also show high relapse, dropout, and failure
rates of up to half of those treated (Bryant, R., et al., 2008, p.
555). While not as well researched and harder to measure in
terms of the gold standard in Evidence Based Practice of
Psychology (EBPP), studies of “alternative” treatments and their
methods, yield different and interesting evidence.
Using the standards espoused by EBPP alongside
alternative movements, this study examined modalities used in
veterans’ treatment. A guiding question was “What can the field
of trauma studies learn from a systematic and comparative
review of the research and treatment of combat veterans
suffering the sequelae of trauma?” Included in this integrative literature review—which
generates a critique and theoretical synthesis of a body of
literature (Torraco, R., 2005, p. 356)—were peer-reviewed
studies from 2006-2010. The participating studies consisted
largely of Veterans Administration (VA)-funded, CBT/PE
treatments, with an average of over 32 patients per participating
study, of approximately 13 weeks duration, and where 20% of
patients avoided treatment, 25% dropped out, and 30% failed
treatment altogether. Concept matrix analysis of data included
distillation of essential statements further reflecting poor
tolerability, dropout, failure, and an inability to maintain
symptom reductions (75% of studies). Authors tended to
overstate positive effects while omitting adequate examination of
study design and construct validity, leading to dearth bias,
defined as scarcity of evidence hiding behind citations.
From this integrative review of the literature a
reconceptualization and agenda for future research emerged.
The reconceptualization stems from the usefulness of hybridized
efficacy and effectiveness research, self-reflection and
bracketing, and more accounting for dearth bias. The future
agenda recommends practitioners use concept matrices as
iv
research and practice tools, conduct more common factors
research, and develop more clinical practice-based evidence.
Especially as related to knowledge evaluation, increased
accountability, and system-wide change, these recommendations
can assist the spread of more diverse and useful EBPP, to help
relieve some of the pain of the traumatized combat veteran.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
EMDR is both a trauma resolution method and a
comprehensive phase model of trauma treatment.
EMDR training has typically focused primarily
on the trauma resolution method (phases 3-7 of
the protocol), with only passing mention of the
rest of the treatment approach. This leaves many
EMDR trained clinicians unsure how to identify
clients for whom EMDR may be appropriate, how
to prepare their clients adequately for EMDR, and
how to identify appropriate targets(and target
order) for EMDR. In this workshop participants
will learn, and practice, how to conceptualize a
case from a trauma perspective, so that the clients'
presenting problems can be directly related to the
clients trauma/loss history. Participants will
learn, and practice, explaining this to their clients,
so they can develop a treatment plan (including
EMDR) accordingly. Participants will learn a
phase model of trauma treatment that is consistent
with EMDR while providing more detailed
guidance in phases 1,2, and 8 of the EMDR
protocol. Participants will learn a systematic
approach to preparing clients for EMDR.
Participants will also learn, and practice, applying
this model in asystematic way to problem-solving
their own challenging cases, as well as to
supervision and consultation.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Mental health research tells us that gay men use psychological services in far more greater numbers than their heterosexual counterparts. Gay men typically present themselves in treatment for problems relating to depression and anxiety, often the result of past and present social stigma. Quite frequently in treatment, it has been noted that these men report frequent childhood experiences of peer and familial ridicule, experienced during formative periods in the development of identity. This ridicule may be conceptualized as a chronic stressor that often results in traumatic responses in adulthood such as substance abuse and self-destructive sexual behavior. This presentation puts forth a treatment model for assisting gay men in overcoming their tramatic responses to childhood ridicule that take the form of self-destructive behaviors in adulthood. Participants will become familiar with the special mental health needs of the gay client and through the presentation of case studies, will become familiar with therapeutic techniques designed to releave the resulting depression and anxiety by employing cognitive restructuring techniques. Participants will come to understand the value of gay affirmative psychotherapy, the need for advocacy outside of the gay community and ancillary treatment options for therapists.

This report describes the clinical treatment of a sample of 4 gay men suffering from PTSD attributed to their repeated experiences with peer ridicule and ostracism throughout childhood and adolescence, caused by their gender variant appearance and behavior. All of the men in the sample shared the following features: (1) a childhood history of ridicule and ostracism from both peers and adults focused on their gender variant presentation designed to elicit gender norm compliance; (2) a lack of social support networks to assist them in coping with the stress; (3) self-destructive coping responses that began in childhood and continued into adulthood in an attempt to lessen the experience of shame; and (4) symptoms of PTSD. A treatment model utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing was discussed. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
This workshop is aimed at all EMDR clinicians who sometimes struggle with the standard protocol. It highlights some of the common difficulties encountered when using EMDR, and offers practical solutions based on the theoretical background. We will consider responses to questions frequently asked in supervision including: Why is processing so slow with this client? Why has it stopped? How do we speed it up again? Why does processing result in my client being overwhelmed? How can we slow it down again? What if the client doesn't have a negative thought?

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In order to get a complete and comprehensive case
conceptualization in Phase 1 of the EMDR protocol, it is important
to explore dissociative symptomatology. But the cinicai
picture of dissociation may be difficult to identify for inexperienced clinicians; some symptoms can be difficult to observe
even for experienced therapist who haven't seen severe cases.
in consultation we often find therapist who bring a 'complex
case' for supervision and quite frequently this 'complexity' has
to do with dissociation. Our goal with this presentation is to
show the many different ways dissociation can be manifested
during EMDR sessions. Another goal is to give practical examples
of interventions with dissociative patients during EMDR
processing. Many examples of subtle manifestations (what we
call 'dissociative language') will be illustrated with video cases.
Severely traumatized people don't communicate in a direct and
clear way, they have their 'own language' and in order to understand
the patient's inner world, we need to understand the
silences, the somatic symptoms the subtle (and not so subtle)
intrusions; all of these are frequent symptoms that the patient
can't detect, understand or disclose to us (not directly).
It is widely known that EMDR clinicians must be careful when
dealing with dissociative patients; techniques that can be used
during the stabilization phase have been developed for the
treatment of dissociative disorders (Knipe, Forgash .......). These
techniques are complementary to the basic protocols and are
very useful but the problem arises when therapists are not able
to identify and/or understand what we call the 'dissociative
language'.
We must keep in mind that most dissociative patients have
grown in an early environment where their needs were not taken
into account. Many never had the possibility to express their
feelings openly. For this, it is important to focus and under^
stand the indirect, complex and ambivalent communication of
these people especially during an EMDR session. The approach
to these difficulties is not only a question of protocol modifications.
but a complex learning from the therapist of the 'dissociative
language'. Several examples from videos of therapy
sessions and case descriptions will be presented.

Abstract:
Objective Main objective is to study the therapeutic responses of EMDR on the survivors of earthquake
North of Pakistan in Kashmir. This study is carried on the spinal injury patients of National Institute
Rehabilitation Medicine (NIRM), which is a 160 bed hospital in Islamabad. It has a spinal injury unit which
established after the earthquake in February 2006. All the female patients suffering from spinal injury
earthquake were shifted here. Physically injured patients who also fulfilled the criteria of PTSD according
ICD10 were offered the treatment with EMDR. Patients who consented were seen by EMDR practitioner(level 2).
Sessions of EMDR as per protocol of 8 stages were carried out. The number of sessions varied according
severity of illness and degree of improvement. EMDR practitioner was supervised by EMDR consultants through
email and telephony. It is a part of ongoing EMDR training programme. Paper also discusses the problems
while seeing patients and benefits of distance supervision. It also describe case study of 2 patients. Initially 15 patients consented for treatment. However 10 patients completed the sessions and showed improvements

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
EMDR can be used in the treatment of complex dissociative disorders. Both presenters have been treating dissociative disorders for decades and one is an approved EMDR trainer. This workshop will not include instruction on specific techniques: these can be learned from approved EMDR trainings which require six full days of workshop teaching, assigned readings, and 10 hours of supervision. Instead, the presenters will explain how EMDR is based on a trauma-dissociation model and is therefore highly suited to the treatment of complex dissociative disorders including DID. A brief description of EMDR will be provided, including its 8 phases, of which only one involves eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. EMDR is consistent with three-stage models of trauma therapy: the eye movements are used in stage two, the active working phase of therapy. In EMDR this is called Phase 4. The work in trauma stage one (EMDR phases 1-3), in patients with DID or DDNOS, involves grounding, stabilization, system mapping, building co-consciousness, orientation of parts to the body and the present, and other elements from the dissociative disorders literature. The bilateral stimulation phase of EMDR should not be used until this phase one work is complete, or at least well underway. The presenters will then go on to provide case examples of how EMDR can be used in the psychotherapy of DID, DDNOS and the complex comorbidity that usually accompanies both.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to describe how EMDR can be used in complex dissociative disorders.
Participants will be able to describe how EMDR is based on a trauma-dissociation model of mental disorders and addictions.
Participants will be able to describe the basic feaures of EMDR.

Abstract:
A special series on Thought Field Therapy in the Journal of Clinical Psychology
provides an opportunity for psychologists to learn about techniques
and theories outside the mainstream of our field. Unfortunately, by
publishing this series of manuscripts without meeting the standards of
peer review, the Journal also provides an avenue for the misuse of its good
reputation and the improper promotion of untested methods. “Echo attributions”
can be made whereby an author attributes the source of his own
words to the professional journal in which the text appears. Historical
examples illustrate that such misuse of scientific journals and institutions
occurs. A formal statement of guidelines is needed to instruct authors on
appropriate versus unethical representations of their publications.
