1. Oppenheim, H.-J. (2010, June). The cutting must stop: A way out of the stabilisation versus reprocessing paradox with a DID-patient. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Hamburg, Germany.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
In this workshop I will discuss and illustrate by video
fragments, the steps of trauma reprocessing with a very instable
DID patient. The patient was suffering from sudden severe
self-cutting that took place outside the patient's own consciousness.
It was clear that an Emotional part of the Personality (EP)
was tormented by a severe trauma, and in response, acted very
aggressively. Because of the great danger of self-harm, which
man could become life-threatening, the cutting had to be stopped
as soon as possible. Therapist and patient were trapped in the
well known paradox: to reprocess the trauma there had to be
enough stability, but to create enough stability the trauma had
to be solved. It was clear that in this period of her life the patient
couldn't bear any trauma reprocessing. This workshop offers a
way out of this paradox. I will show how to establish enough
safety for all the parts of the personality who are involved, increasing two of the Apparently Normal parts of the Personality (ANP's). For one of the ANP's, safety meant that she didn't have
to witness the story about the trauma, she still didn't know. The
workshop will demonstrate how to establish a working alliance
with the aggressive part (EP) who is indirectly responsible for the
severe cutting. Finally, after all these preparations, the trauma
reprocessing by using EMDR on this EP can be started.
The participants will learn:
a. How to work from a Structural Dissociation view. The importance of an active attitude for the therapist, like a
film director, in getting in contact and working together with the
different parts of the personality, to reach the necessary goal;
c. That trauma processing is at least partly possible in absence
of the 'main part' of the personality which can contribute to
stabilization in order to reprocess the trauma completely.
been This workshop provides an opportunity to escape from the
]paradox: reprocessing a trauma requires stability but stability
]requires a reprocessed trauma. It is always thought that for reprocessing
a trauma the ONP('s) must be involved, This workshop
will show that if only parts of the personality, without the
ANP, undergo the reprocessing, it can lead to a remarkable reduction
of dangerous symptoms. The completing of the trauma
reprocessing with the ANP can be postponed to the moment
that the patient feels sufficiently stable.

Abstract:
Letter to the editor commenting on an article by E. Ernst (see record 2003-05653-002). We report the case of a patient who was effectively treated for severe obsessive compulsive disorder but relapsed briefly following ingestion of herbal products containing ephedra alkaloids that she bought to facilitate weight loss. The patient was a 29-year-old woman with a 10-year history of obsessive compulsive disorder who was referred for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) when her condition had not responded to cognitive behavior therapy nor to various medications including Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Clomipramine and Amitriptyline. Her score on the Dissociative Experiences Scale was low and there was nothing in the clinical history to suggest major dissociative disorder, so after preparation with mindfulness, relaxation and safe place imagery she proceeded to treatment with EMDR. Nine months later she reported a relapse into increased anxiety with a partial return to compulsive thoughts and behaviours after she had obtained a herbal health product sold to promote weight loss.

Language: English

Abstract:
This article is an excerpt from the book Integrating EMDR Into Your Practice (Royle & Kerr, 2010), which is a hands-on guide to facilitate the successful integration of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) training into therapists' practice while recognizing that trainees come from a range of theoretical backgrounds. This excerpt focuses on identifying the appropriate target memory and its related negative cognition (NC) in preparation for desensitization. Clients and therapists need to understand the rationale for selecting a particular target utilizing prioritization and clustering techniques. The importance of the belief system is discussed and methods of identifying the initial targets are offered, including the floatback technique. Many practitioners experience difficulty in getting the right NC, and methods for drawing this out are illustrated. Final preparations prior to desensitization are considered as well as the importance of addressing client anxieties and expectations. Throughout the excerpt, case vignettes are used to outline cautions and common pitfalls encountered by the novice EMDR therapist.

4. Gerge, A. (2008, April). Phase I Preparations of severely traumatized women for exposure by extended EMDR-protocols in phase II treatment. Presentation at the 1st Bi-Annual International European Society for Trauma and Dissociation Conference, Amsterdam, The Netherlands .
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This presentation offers a description of an integrative approach of group treatment within
phase I treatment leaning on psychodynamic theory, a clear psycho-educative approach
that uses methods as hypnosis/relaxation training/mindfulness training, aims for
enhanced relational capacity and self-regulation by using hypnotic techniques aiming at
enhanced containment capacity (Brown & Fromm, 1986; Kluft, 1993, 1999; Phillips &
Fredericks 1995; Chu 1998; Cardeña et al., 2000). The treatment aims at enhanced
capacity to mentalize, i.e., using the reflective functions in self-organization (Fonagy,
1997). This is considered to offer the participants an enhanced ”self soothing capacity”
(Krystal 1988a,1988b), i. e., the capacity to calm and soothe the self by enhanced self
regulation and capacity to rest, by helping the participants to reach experiential states
where they can contain their own reactions, as well as offering training in order to tolerate
and understand the signals of the body, i. e. the “felt sense” (Gendlin, 1978; Ogden,
Minton, & Pain 2006). The trauma therapy within phase II-work by extended EMDRprotocols
is exemplified with special focus on the restoration of the capacity for adequate
self-care as well as care-giving functions.
Learning Objectives:
1. To show how an integrative group treatment in phase I treatment can be used in
trauma therapy for stabilization with patients with complex PTSD and high levels of
dissociation (psychoform and/or somatoform co-morbidity).
2. Exemplify trauma-therapy within phase II work by extended EMDR-protocols
addressing the special needs of continuous reinforcement of stabilization for the
same population.
3. Focus on restoration of the capacity for adequate self-care as well as care giving
functions.
