Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
"Bridging the gap between research and clinical practice" is a challenging
and elusive goal. Outcome data, while critical for the legitimacy and
advancement of clinical work, often fail to translate into practical skill sets. It
is only when clinicians look beyond the data that they learn some of the
most valuable lessons of research.
In this session, we will present the results of a four-year, randomized
controlled study comparing EMDR to Prozac in the treatment of PTSD. We
will also explore the clinical and practical lessons learned throughout the
study. We will address assessment and history taking, treatment planning,
readiness for processing, target selection. transference and
countertransference, and adult versus childhood onset trauma.
We hope to give EMDR practitioners an in-depth analysis of the real-life
processes, dilemmas, and learning that took place during our protocol based
treatment outcome study. Video segments will be used to illustrate
clinical concepts and key points. And perhaps, most importantly, these
same segments will be used to demonstrate how we struggled to recognize
and learn from our own mistakes.

Abstract:
In the past 12 months, psychologist Francine Shapiro has lived out the dream of every therapeutic innovator. Since last November, when the Networker featured her once-obscure discovery, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), on its cover, the promising but little-understood new trauma therapy has become almost as famous as Prozac.[Author]

Abstract:
Episodes of significant depression have been a part of my life for as long as I can recall, but psychosis was unknown to me until I was in my mid-thirties, months after the birth of my second child. At first, all I recognized were the emerging symptoms of postpartum depression in the weeks after the birth: a familiar scenario, since it had also occurred with my first child. My doctor immediately prescribed 50mg of Prozac daily. I took the medication, felt much better, and continued to breastfeed my second daughter with no apparent problems. In fact, for about four months I felt better than I had in years. My therapist, an LCSW, was thrilled with my progress. She had been treating me with a technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). The therapy worked. In this article I present essays. These essays are my recollections of some of the new, and very foreign, moments in the beginning of that process, as my mind gradually turned from sane to psychotic.

Abstract:
Where do you get the blues? Most people would say in the head. That's
where we look for mental problems. Depression, anxiety, distress are all the
result of brain chemistry going wrong - not enough serotonin, for example.
And that's why we treat them with talking therapies and "serotonin reuptake
inhibitors" such as Prozac.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
'Bridging the gap between research and clinical practice" is a euphemism frequently evoked and rarely accomplished The aim of this workshop is to present and discuss lessons learned during a four-year treatment outcome study that compared EMDR to Prozac and control conditions, looking beyond the data toward clinical implications and issues of effectiveness versus efficacy. Using a combination of lecture, handouts and videotapes the presenters will address issues around predictors of positive and negative treatment response including comorbid diagnosis, age of trauma onset, and treatment condition. Case conceptualization, selection and sequencing of targets in treatment planning, the role of therapeutic relationship, and using EMDR as a brief treatment intervention will also be explored.

Abstract:
Body Institute, practiced meditation, and attended two different support groups. Although these methods certainly had their benefits, after five years I still felt as if I could slingshot into my deepest grief with the slightest trigger. I debated whether to try taking Prozac or find a therapist who could use EMDR. I chose the non-pharmaceutical route. I had no specific hopes for EMDR, especially since none of my previous treatments had succeeded in helping me move out of my depression. After only four EMDR sessions, I have noticed a significant shift in my attitude about the same triggers that would have otherwise caused me deep emotional pain. I have come to have hope again that, someday, I will be able to fully enjoy my life - a belief that I had long ago given up.

A. van der Kolk, Chair) at the 19th annual meeting of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, Chicago, IL.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Treatment Outcome Studies of PTSD: This symposium presents three large carefully controlled treatment
outcome studies using four different treatment modalities (CBT,
EMDR, psychopharmacology and Cognitive Processing) and presents
data on comparative efficacy, treatment responsiveness and
resistance, effects on comorbidity, quality of life, and biological
changes that accompany symptom improvement.
Treatment outcome of fluoxetine vs. EMDR in PTSD: This NIMH funded study compared the efficacy of two widely different
treatment approaches for treating patients with PTSD: fluoxetine,
which acts directly on biological systems (N=30), and Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (N=30). There
also was a pill placebo control group (N=30). We assessed subjects
with a multi-modal biological and psychological assessment, in
order to determine whether treatment efficacy is associated with
changes: 1) social adjustment, 2) psychophysiological reactivity to
personalized trauma scripts (heart rate and skin conductance), and
3) basal salivary cortisol. We also tracked the stability of symptom
change for nine months following the cessation of active treatment.
Preliminary results suggest that at the end of 8 weeks of treatment,
there is a 30% improvement in the pill placebo condition, while both
active treatments demonstrate additional symptom improvement,
with EMDR being most effective for the treatment of acute PTSD,
and Prozac for subjects with prolonged childhood histories of trauma.
Clinically significant improvement in CAPS scores is accompanied
by an increase in basal cortisol and improvement in social and
occupational functioning. We will also present data on the differential
rates of symptom change in the different PTSD symptom clusters
between the two treatment groups during the nine months of follow-
up after cessation of the acute treatment phase.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Despite a large number of well-controlled studies there continues to be considerable skepticism about the specificity of EMDR's usefulness at a treatment of PTSD. It therefore was gratifying that the National institutes of Mental Health in the USA funded the first study to compare a proven psychological treatment (EMDR) with a proven pharmacological agent, Prozac, and the first to use a pill placebo group. Both Prozac and pill placebo did very well in this study - once again demonstrating the power of the placebo response in PTSD. EMDR did significantly better than the placebo after 8 weeks of treatment. After the end of treatment the EMDR group continued to improve, to the point that six months later 60% of the EMDR was entirely asymptomatic, compared with none in the Prozac group. However, the group with adult onset trauma did markedly better than the childhood onset group. The data on how EMDR differentially affected memory of the trauma give another glimpse into possible modes of action of this treatment. This Plenary will discuss issues of research, treatment outcome, the therapeutic relationship, the Impact of trauma at different levels of development, the nature of traumatic memory, and the emerging understanding of how EMDR may effect its therapeutic action.
