Abstract:
This would seem intuitive, but Dr. Shapiro says parents sometimes nervously or forgetfully brush off kids' concerns about news events, making fears feel more potent and shameful. In a tragedy like this, kids are bound to have concerns, if not questions. Because the shooting happened at a super-hero movie, in a room dotted with children in costumes, it's likely to feel closer to home than other news stories. [Excerpt]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Introduction: The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of bilateral eye movement as one of the important therapeutic
components through EEG analysis. We examined differences between pre-bilateral eye movement and post-bilateral eye
movement of normal healthy volunteers in scalp recorded EEGs in two different ways. First, we used qEEG to examine
differences in specific band frequencies after bilateral eye movement. Secondly, we utilized low-resolution electromagnetic
tomography (LORETA) source imaging (Pascual-Marqui et al., 1994) to explore the underlying neural generators of changed
EEG activity. Methods:32 college students participated in the study. EEG was recorded continuously during the experiment.
All participants experienced 3 blocks: 1) pre-experiment, eye-closed EEG in resting state, 2) stimuli condition (either eye
movement or fixation) and 3) post-experiment, eye-closed EEG in resting state. 32-channel, eyes-closed EEG (30 artifactfree
s/subject) was analyzed (source localization using FFT approximation and LORETA). Results: We demonstrated different
functional connectivity patterns of the precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex (Brodmann area 23, 31) between bilateral eye
movement and eye fixation phase. Conclusion: These results provided evidence to support that the bilateral eye movements
in EMDR procedure gives rise to the changes of ‘brain default network’, accompanied by the alteration of regional brain
electrical activity.

Language: Korean
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Over the last decade, EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has emerged as a promising new treatment for trauma and other anxiety-based disorders. However, neurobiological mechanism of EMDR has not been well understood. Authors report SPECT findings of two patients of PTSD before and after EMDR.Brain 99mTc-ECD-SPECT was performed before and after EMDR treatment. To evaluate the significance of changes in the regional cerebral perfusion, t-test was conducted on the resulting images using SPM99 . In addition, clinical scales(CAPS, CGI, STAI) were employed to asses the changes in the clinical symptoms of the patients. After EMDR treatment, each showed significant improvement in clinical symptoms. The cerebral perfusion increased in bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and decreased in the temporal association cortex. The differences in the cerebral perfusion between patients after treatment and normal controls decreased. These changes appeared mainly in the limbic area the and the prefrontal cortex.These results suggest that EMDR may show the therapeutic effect through 1) improvement in the emotional control by increased activity in the prefrontal cortex, 2) inhibited hyperstimuli on amygdala by deactivation of the association cortex, 3) inhibition on past trauma related memory, and 4) keeping the functional balance between the limbic area and the prefrontal cortex. This case report needs further replication from studies with larger sample. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has emerged as a promising new treatment for trauma and other anxiety-based disorders. However, the neurobiological mechanism of EMDR has not been well understood. This study reports changes in the resting regional cerebral blood flow after successful EMDR treatment in 2 patients with PTSD. Brain 99mTc-ECD-SPECT (Technetium 99m-ethyl cysteinate dimmer-single photon emission computerized tomography) was performed before and after EMDR, and, in addition, a pre- and posttreatment comparison was made with 10 non-PTSD participants as a control group. After EMDR, cerebral perfusion increased in bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and decreased in the temporal association cortex. The differences between participants and normal controls also decreased. Changes appeared mainly in the limbic area and the prefrontal cortex. These results are in line with current understanding of neurobiology of PTSD. EMDR treatment appears to reverse the functional imbalance between the limbic area and the prefrontal cortex.

Abstract:
Biologic and psychosocial treatments of
posttraumatic stress disorder were equally
effective in their first direct comparison
("Psychotherapy May Offer More Benefits
for PTST," June 2004, p. 20). In addition,
psychotherapy patients were more likely to
remit or even become asymptomatic, according
to the study of 88 adults randomized
to fluoxetine, placebo, or an exposure
therapy method known as eye movement
desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
Patients in the EMDR group ininally responded
to the treatment with psychophysiologic
arousal and appeared to relive
the trauma. But they ultimately
improved significantly more than did the
placebo group and continued to improve
at 2 and 6 months' follow-up, when the
fluoxetine group remained stable.

Abstract:
Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a derangement of mood control with involuntary, emotionally fraught recollections that may follow deep psychological trauma in susceptible individuals. This condition is treated with pharmacological and/or cognitive therapies as well as psychotherapy with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). However, only a very limited number of studies have been published dealing with work-related PTSD, and investigations on the effect of treatment on cerebral blood flow represent an even smaller number. Aim: To investigate the short-term outcome of occupation-related PTSD after EMDR therapy by 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT. Method: Fifteen patients, either train drivers suffering from PTSD after having been unintentionally responsible for a person-under-train accident or employees assaulted in the course of duty, were recruited for the study. 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT was performed on these patients both before and after EMDR therapy while they listened to a script portraying the traumatic event. Tracer distribution analysis was then carried out at volume of interest (VOI) level using a three-dimensional standardized brain atlas, and at voxel level by SPM. The CBF data of the 15 patients were compared before and after treatment as well as with those of a group of 27 controls who had been exposed to the same psychological traumas without developing PTSD. Results: At VOI analysis significant CBF distribution differences were found between controls and patients before and after treatment (P=0.023 and P=0.0039, respectively). Eleven of the 15 patients responded to treatment, i.e., following EMDR they no longer fulfilled the DSM-IV criteria for PTSD. When comparing only the eleven responders with the controls, the significant group difference found before EMDR (P=0.019) disappeared after treatment. Responders and non-responders showed after therapy significant regional differences in frontal, parieto-occipital and visual cortex and in hippocampus. SPM analysis showed significant uptake differences between patients and controls in the orbitofrontal cortex (Brodmann 11) and the temporal pole (Brodmann 38) both before and after treatment. A significant tracer distribution difference present before treatment in the uncus (Brodmann 36) disappeared after treatment, while a significant difference appeared in the lateral temporal lobe (Brodmann 21). Conclusion: Significant 99mTc-HMPAO uptake regional differences were found, mainly in the peri-limbic cortex, between PTSD patients and controls exposed to trauma but not developing PTSD. Tracer uptake differences between responders and patients not responding to EMDR were found after treatment suggesting a trend towards normalization of tracer distribution after successful therapy. These findings in occupational related PTSD are consistent with previously described effects of psychotherapy on anxiety disorders. [PubMed]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Clinical case-presentation of EMDR-treatment of a boy and a girl, sixteen and eighteen years of age respectively, both with a history of different dissociative symptoms. Both were sexually abuse and both had a considerable weight-loss during EMDR-treatment. Symptoms prior to my contact with the body was pseudo-epileptic fits with shaking, cramps, eyes turning “inside out” and sometimes turning quite blue. After he could be spoken to, he could drink and seemed oriented in time and space, but later had total amnesia of the dissociative episode that could last for several hours. He also had pain in one leg and got the diagnosis “Sympatic Dystrophia” and “Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.” Memory of the sexual abuse was completely hidden behind a screen memory of being abuse physically by a schoolmate until very late in EMDR-treatment. The girl had family relations problems, eating disturbance, suicidal behavior and intense sways in temper and server conflicts with her mother. The sexual abuse by a relative was known and the dissociation was not diagnosed before screening with DES>
Both had different kinds of somatic and/or psychological long treatment, with little success, before entering EMDR-treatment. Both had an EMDR-treatment period of almost one-year and both were given the Putnam DES-scale before, during, and eight months after treatment.
In both cases, there was decline from very high Putnam DES scores to normal. At the eight month follow-up, the boy’s results persisted and weight was regained. The girl us just about to end treatment so there are no follow-up results. However, her weight is back to normal.
Is weight loss during EMDR-treatment noticed by other EMDR-therapists?

Abstract:
The EMDRIA Board of Directors has charged the Educational Program and Professional Development (EPPD) Task Group with the task of
developing policies for all educational programs and professional development. These umbrella policies will provide consistency and creditability
throughout all programs to maintain the integrity of EMDR in training, practice, and research. All EMDRIA programs and products will be
aligned with the existing and emerging knowledge and scientific research on EMDR. To that end, the EPPD Task Group has completed a twotiered
definition of EMDR, which is rooted in the current scientific research on EMDR. The Tier One definition is designed for the general
public. The Tier Two definition is for EMDRIA use, to guide the development of all programs and products throughout the organization. The
Tier Two definition is also for external distribution and to be the basis for explaining EMDR to the public and other professionals. As the
foundation, this definition will direct EMDRIA in every aspect of the organization from training and continuing education programs in EMDR,
standards of practice, research, publications, and EMDRIA Member support programs, such as Clinician Support and Regional Coordinating
programs.

This article examines the capacity of the Ministry of Defence of the United States to provide mental health services quality depending on availability (a) of clinical training, (b) mental health interventions and (c) sponsored research into the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. While significant progress has been achieved in access to cognitive behavioral treatment and studies in this field, neuro-emotional integration by alternating bilateral stimulation or EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing &) is much less available - perhaps because of the current controversy surrounding the art. We suggest that greater availability of behavioral treatments based on evidence, perhaps through the continuation of a recent regional training program would be beneficial for veterans who now have little access.

According to U.S.-based Scripps Howard News Service, therapy involving patients moving their eyes back and forth is making inroads. Stephen Christman, a psychology professor at the University of Toledo, has found a 20-30 percent memory recall improvement in patients who watched lights flashing from side-to-side on a computer screen. The research builds on a therapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which has been used since 1989 to help people overcome traumatic memories.[Academic Search Premier]

Abstract:
5 Eyewitness News has been granted a rare glimpse at an innovative therapy that's helping Minnesotans recover from trauma in ways other therapies have not enabled them to do.
EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, uses light-emitting devices patients follow with their eyes to reprocess traumatic memories.
People undergoing therapy are prompted to relive traumatic experiences in an effort to ultimately remember them differently.
The goal is to neutralize or even replace negative thoughts or emotions with more positive thoughts.
5 Eyewitness News went inside a therapy session to show how the therapy is helping a veteran recover from traumatic Iraq war experiences.
Also highlighted is the recovery effort of a survivor of the mass workplace shooting incident at Accent Signage in Minneapolis last year.
The therapy has been so successful it is being offered for free for up to 100 veterans in Minnesota.

33. Manfield, P. (1995, June). Narcissistic disorders: Using EMDR with these difficult clients. Presentation at the EMDR Network Conference Santa Monica, CA.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Definition of client population:
Disorder of the self. The narcissistic character is often identified by his or her grandiose facade concealing an underlying sense of
emptiness and worthlessness. To experience the underlying emptiness is so painful for them that these people cut off their inner
experience and rely instead on external admiration and praise to support their grandiose or superior view of themselves; their
condition is often referred to as a "disorder of the self." Because of their dependence on others for their sense of themselves, they are
exquisitely sensitive to criticism or disapproval, often warding off deflation by becoming increasingly grandiose, superior, disdainful
or demeaning. Many conceal their grandiosity, maintaining a secret sense of superiority which may be based upon their
perfectionism or their quiet devaluing of others.
View of others: there is a range of severity of the narcissistic character from personality disorders to a narcissistic character style.
People with personality disorders, are unable to form a trusting bond with another person; they view people primarily as
interchangeable, performing a function which could equally be performed by many others. Less impaired narcissistic characters,
however, are able to form varying degrees of attachments to other people, although their ability to trust and care about other people
is limited. Most commonly they relate to people they can idealize or be admired by. People tend to be seen in extremes as either
superior and powerful or inferior and worthless; supportive and admiring or critical and attacking.
Difficulties in using EMDR:
Clinically these clients represent a difficult and often frustrating population to treat; they are brittle and easily injured if they to not
feel perfectly understood by their therapists, and they will distance at the slightest hint that they are being judged or used. They
resist focusing inward and defining their problems as arising within themselves, and find it difficult to sustain any genuine affect,
other than perhaps rage. If they feel understood and accepted, however, they will eventually talk about their sense of emptiness and
worthlessness and their confusion about who they are and what is truly meaningful and valuable to them.
Beck, Young and others have described factors that make it difficult to treat any personality disorder using a cognitive behavioral
approach. There have in fact been very few reported "successes" in the literature. Most of the difficulties are related to the self and
object splitting characteristic of these clients. These clients have limited access to feelings, limited access to spontaneous thoughts,
body sensations, memories, etc., and vague unfocussed presenting problems making targeting difficult. They usually have difficulty
with emotional and often intellectual continuity from session to session; they will rarely keep a log or follow through with
homework; transference issues often come into central focus and must be addressed before other targets; and their selfdefeating
beliefs and behavior patterns are extremely deeply held, pervasive and resistant to change.
In addition to varying degrees of these difficulties, narcissistic clients present all of the problems in EMDR that they do in more
traditional therapies; including their tendencies to act out, deny, and avoid. These and other defenses interfere with completion of
segments of therapeutic work and make it difficult for the clinician to keep work focused within one neural network. Self and object
splitting leads to continuity problems within or between sessions and a difficulty maintaining clarity about the reason for being in
treatment. The client may feel suicidal one week and declare himself or herself to be fully recovered the next. Perhaps the most
confirming aspect of the treatment of these clients, however, is their emotionally impoverished pasts; they have very limited
experience of nurturing, loving and caring to draw !?om in order to interweave new meanings and perspectives into traumatic or
painful past experiences.
Length of treatment:
I have found that I have been able to achieve good results with higher level narcissistic clients with whom I have had an established
relationship at the time I introduced EMDR into the treatment. My results with clients who have come to therapy asking specifically
for EMDR and with whom I have begun using EMDR soon after the beginning of treatment have been generally poorer, varying
with the severity of the client's disorder, the less severe doing best. The client needs to be able to establish a meaningful trusting
relationship with the therapist; the more severe the client's difficulties with attachment, the more time this process requires.
Narcissistic clients do not tend to see their difficulty with vulnerability, trust and intimacy as a problem within themselves. If they
are able to recognize personal problems, they are usually in the area of self esteem and obstacles to achievement. When they are
able to resolve some of these latter problems fairly rapidly through treatment they tend to terminate, no longer seeing a sufficient
purpose for treatment. In a sense, they can become better narcissists; their grandiose view of themselves is enhanced and they are
reinforced in their use of self-sufficiency as a defense against interpersonal vulnerability. I view the relative efficiency of EMDR as
a problem for deeper treatment of narcissistic clients because there is less time for the therapeutic relationship to develop and
consequently a limited opportunity to impact the client's object splitting. I believe that this is why I have found EMDR with
narcissistic clients to be most effective when it is introduced after a therapeutic relationship has had time to develop. Negative cognitions:
The early maladaptive schemas of narcissistic clients are pervasive in their lives and point to a plethora of negative cognitions.
Typical early schemas are: I must control myself (or my feelings, my behavior, my body) at all times; no one cares; my needs will
never be met; I can't trust anyone; I am deeply flawed and unlovable; I am dikeable, unattractive to others; I will always fail; my
flaws are totally unacceptable to others; I must be perfect or I am worthless; I deserve to be treated more specially than others; I must
please others to avoid attack; I'm alone; nobody understands me; I am OK if I am better than others; I am OK only if others admire
me. It is often helpful to narrow these cognitions down to make them manageable with EMDR
Treatment:
In addition to the recommended protocol of establishing a safe space to which the client can retreat if necessary, before doing an
EMDR session with one of these clients, the therapist should identify as many of the client's emotional resources possible, in
particular expriences if any of having felt loved and accepted ad examples of loving people or relationships the client has observed
Among other things, these facilitate more effective copitive interweaves.
The initial task in doing an EMDR session with this client population is to establish an appropriate and richly defined target. Since
it is more difficult for these clients to access meanm&l memories in an emotionally alive way, the therapist must be more active in
helping the client stimulate the associated neural netork as I l l y as possible. In addition to the client's reaction to the plight of
children he may be related to or observe (Level I1 training), a rich source of emotional responsiveness and resources is the client's
own response to situations he has witnessed in news media, TV, movies or theater.
A major challenge in addressing a narcissistic character type using EMDR is tracking the course of the session with these clients
and identifying when they drip out of the targeted neural network. This process can be subtle because it requires an ability to
differentiate true avoidance hm spontaneous associations which may appear at hat to be irrelevant; it requires a familiarity with
and sensitivity to the protective or defensive mechanisms they use to insulate themselves fiom painful memories and affect. As the
patterns ofmovement in and out of the targeted network are identified it is important to use interventions that are experienced by the
client as supportive but nevertheless make hun or her aware of having wandered.
Although the narcissistic client may initiate treatment with the stated goal of improving his performance in specified areas, he will
agree upon reflection that the real problem is that he feels an overriding need to perform in order to feel worthwhile. Since he has
never known any other way of dealing with his self-worth, he will be skeptical about whether it is possible to feel a sense of worth
that is not based upon performance, and it is easy for the therapist to lose perspective and join him in that beliet especially while
doing EMDR with its potential for reprocessing with extraordinary precision specific obstacles to performance. The therapist must,
however, retain her healthy perspective if the client is to learn to accept himself.

Neurobiological changes in post traumatic stress disorder following treatment with eye movement desensitisation reprocessing. Presentation at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine Congress, Munich, Germany, European Journal of Nuclear Medical and Molecular Imaging, 35(Supp 2).
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Background: Only few studies have reported functional or structural modifications in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) patients following pharmacological treatment or psychotherapy. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a novel eclectic psychotherapy utilising, among other techniques, relaxation and safe place exercises, cognitive restructuring, future projections, and imaginal exposure of the trauma combined with sensory stimulation. The aim of the study was to analyse the differences in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) distribution and in brain volumetry before and after EMDR therapy.
Subjects and Methods: Fifteen subjects with chronic PTSD following occupational health hazards were treated with five sessions of EMDR. They were assessed with psychometric scales and diagnostic interviews before and directly after treatment. SPECT, during administration of an individualised trauma script, was performed using 99mTc-HMPAO. After EMDR, the subjects were subdivided into responders (R, n=10) and non-responders (NS, n=5), based on the absence or presence, respectively, of full PTSD diagnosis. SPECT and volumetric data (MRI) analyses were carried out by Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM2). SPECT and MRI data were covaried by age and by time elapsed from trauma to SPECT. SPECT data were further covaried by the amount of grey matter normalised by the total intracranial volume.
Results: Immediate significant post-treatment changes towards normality in all scales measuring psychological status were found in responders. As compared to NR, R showed a significantly decreased tracer uptake in parieto-occipital (Brodmann Area, BA, 37, fusiform gyrus) and in primary visual cortex (BA17) and in the hippocampus (p<0.001). The opposite comparison highlighted an increased tracer uptake in left frontal cortex (BA 44; p<0.05). Structural grey matter modifications were found in visual, posterior cingulate and parieto-temporal cortex, paralleling the functional changes.
Conclusion: The positive EMDR outcome corresponded to increased 99mTc-HMPAO uptake in the left dorsolateral frontal cortex, processing attention and self confidence and exerting an inhibitory effect on the amygdala whose firing is supposed to be responsible for PTSD. After successful treatment significant decreases were found in primary visual cortex, processing images of traumatic memories and flashbacks; in fusiform gyrus, processing the memories of faces, bodies and words and in the hippocampi, involved in episodic and autobiographical memories. Volumetric changes paralleled the ones in tracer uptake in all regions Taken as a whole these findings suggest that the positive clinical outcome following EMDR therapy causes functional and structural neurobiological changes towards normality.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Although psychotherapy is successful in altering emotional distress, the biological mechanism by which it achieves this has not been the subject of intensive neurobiological investigation. Mindful processing of emotion has been proposed to be a key factor in prevention of relapse in depressive illness and here that hypothesis is developed and extended to include other conditions in which emotion processing may be obstructed or dysregulated. Cognitive therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, psycho-dynamic psychotherapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy, each in a different way and with a distinct emphasis, encourage awareness of emotions and their associated cognitions and biographies, and their varying success may depend on the degree to which they achieve activation of internal healing processes. In eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), the selected target is formatted for endogenous processing which is facilitated and accelerated by eye movements or alternating bilateral auditory or tactile stimulation. The ability to sustain focussed attention on the affect and its visceral, cognitive, and biographical components is postulated to activate a homeostatic process of distress resolution, seen most clearly in treatment of PTSD with EMDR, in which resolution of distress can be intense and rapid while therapist input is non-directive, although supportive, empathic, and non-judgemental. Once the therapist has helped to frame the questions, the patient's brain will find the answers needed for the resolution of the distress and all the components of the traumatic event, whether visceral, cognitive, affective, or interpersonal. The anterior cingulate cortex, especially the dorsal and rostral components, is suggested to be the key neurobiological substrate for the efficacious psychotherapeutic relief of distress, and relevant functional neuroimaging studies are summarised. One limitation of some previous imaging studies of emotion is that they have tended to use mild stimuli to discrete emotions. An alternative approach would be to image the brain during reprocessing of an unpleasant event which has profoundly affected the person so that the associated intense emotions could be clearly labelled and correlated with changes in regional brain functioning.

Abstract:
In 1987, a new technology called Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) was in the early stages of development. An internationally respected PTSD expert, psychologist Charles Figley, director of the Institute of Traumatology at Florida State University, did a formal research project on EMDR in 1993. Additionally, Figley also researched Thought Field Therapy (TFT – the grandfather of EFT), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) and Visual Kinesthetic Dissociation (VKD) at the same time. Figley and an associate conducted the research because Figley deeply understood that the conventional therapies were not suitable for treating PTSD. That research proved both EMDR and TFT as effective treatments for PTSD both achieving over 50% reduction in symptoms. Although the DOD has officially approved EMDR for PTSD treatment (http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?), many VA centers do not allow its use.
In the interim, psychiatrist and PTSD expert Bessel van der Kolk, presently the Medical Director at the Trauma Center in Massachusetts, (http://www.traumacenter.org/) began groundbreaking researching on PTSD. Dr. van der Kolk is trained in both EMDR and TFT/EFT and now endorses the use of Energy Psychology methods like EFT to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD in a very gentle, quick, safe and easy manner.

Language: English

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of an EMDR treatment set-up (R-TEP protocol) within an early healthcare scheme for victims of workplace accidents, while taking into consideration such variables as institutional recognition and the availability of psychological debriefing services (inspired by Mitchell's model). The research procedure consists of first creating a program including referenced organisations (businesses, police force, hospitals...) from different French regions. Efforts will be made
to raise resource people's (management, occupational health staff) awareness of PTSD prevention and of the role played by institutional recognition in the psychological recovery process. A regional network of EMDR therapists trained in debriefing (will be set up to work in partnership with the healthcare network for first line interventions following workplace accidents involving one or several workers. Participants will be recruited within these organisations. They the will all have been confronted with a single critical incident at work (accidental bodily harm of physical origin, physical aggression...) and meet DSM-IV Acute Stress Disorder criteria at the time of the therapy session. The research program will test, evaluate, and compare the effectiveness of a single therapeutic intervention taking place between Day 0 and Day 8 after exposure to a workplace accident BS do for 2 groups of 20 workers (men and women) who present the clinical signs of acute stress disorder. G1: control group - no access or refusal of care to be. G2: group with a debriefing session. G3: group with an EMDR session. In order to evaluate treatment effects on health and adaptive behavior in workers, participants will complete standardized self-evaluation scales (IESR PCLS Hamilton) before and after treatment. Another questionnaire will be completed by the therapists. Expected results: Significant decrease of symptoms and improvement of scores on measures after a single EMDR session. Greater effectiveness of EMDR compared to psychological debriefing. Eye Learning objectives: Participants will learn the advantages of promoting early interventions for victims of workplace accidents with the adapted EMDR protocol in order to prevent incapacitating PTSD and to facilitate an early return to autonomy for the worker. EMDR therapists will have a raised awareness of public health prevention initiatives, combining training and information within social and professional networks and occupational health services.

Abstract:
Since 2001, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have caused considerable strain on military medicine to effectively manage the growing mental health demand from deployed personnel. This article examines the ability of the U.S. Department of Defense to provide quality mental health services based on the availability of (a) clinical training, (b) mental health interventions, and (c) funded research of treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder. While notable progress has been made in cognitive-behavioral treatment access and research, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is far less available—perhaps attributable to ongoing controversy over the technique. We suggest that underserved veterans would benefit from increased availability of evidence-based behavioral treatments, perhaps through continuation of a recent regional training program.

Abstract:
Los trastornos de personalidad son un grupo complejo a la hora de trabajar en
psicoterapia. Los problemas relacionales y las reacciones emocionales desbordantes suelen estar en un primer plano. Muchos de estos trastornos están generados en una historia de trauma temprano y relaciones de apego disfuncionales con los cuidadores primarios que pueden ser tratados con EMDR.
El trastorno límite de la Personalidad o TLP, se ha relacionado con una historia
temprana de apego disfuncional, con trauma en la infancia (abuso sexual, físico, trauma de apego y/o negligencia), sin embargo no todas las orientaciones terapéuticas específicas para el trastorno límite abordan de modo directo estas experiencias traumáticas previas.
Algunos autores destacan los contextos invalidantes en la historia biográfica de las
personas con este diagnostico, lo que suele ir unido a una traumatización compleja. El
concepto de trauma en EMDR es un concepto mucho más amplio del que se maneja de manera habitual, no solo es trauma. Francine Shapiro explica que muchos de nosotros pensamos que el trauma consiste en grandes acontecimientos que aparecen en las noticias (veteranos de guerra, sobrevivientes de catástrofes naturales y ataques terroristas……) pero, de hecho, por definición, trauma es cualquier hecho que ha tenido un efecto negativo duradero.
La terapia EMDR ha demostrado su eficacia en el trastorno de estrés postraumática,
siendo en estos momentos un tratamiento de elección para el TEPT. Su aplicación en una amplia gama de trastornos en cuya base se encuentran experiencias traumáticas previas se está desarrollando cada vez más. Uno de estos diagnósticos es el del trastorno límite de la personalidad que será planteado en esta mesa con un caso práctico que permitirá visualizar los resultados que se pueden conseguir en una sesión. A través del caso se
ilustrará la teoría del Modelo de Procesamiento Adaptativo de la Información (PAI) y la
posible aplicación de EMDR en los trastornos de la personalidad con trauma complejo
Personality disorders are a complex group when working in
psychotherapy. Relational problems and emotional reactions are often overflowing
be in the forefront. Many of these disorders are built on a history of
early trauma and dysfunctional attachment relationships with primary caregivers
can be treated with EMDR.
The BPD or BPD personality has been associated with a history
early attachment dysfunctional childhood trauma (sexual abuse, physical trauma
attachment and / or neglect), but not all specific therapeutic guidelines
for BPD directly addressed these previous traumatic experiences.
Some authors emphasize the disabling contexts in the biographical history of the
People with this diagnosis, which often goes hand in complex traumatization. The
EMDR trauma concept is a much broader concept of which is handled as usual, not only is trauma. Francine Shapiro explains that many of us
think that the trauma is to great events in the news (War veterans, survivors of natural disasters and terrorist attacks ......)
but, in fact, by definition, trauma is any event that has had a negative effect
durable. EMDR therapy has proven effective in post-traumatic stress disorder, being at present a treatment of choice for PTSD. Its application in a wide range of disorders whose base are previous traumatic experiences are
is developing more and more. One of these diagnoses is that of BPD personality that will be raised at this table with a case study that will
visualize the results that can be achieved in one session. Through the case
illustrate the theory of Model Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) and

L’intensitŕ delle reazioni individuali quando viene comunicata una diagnosi di tumore puň avere accenti diversi ma, generalmente, alla comunicazione della diagnosi si apre una prima fase psicologica caratterizzata da uno stato di shock per una notizia appresa come una catastrofe.
Il momento della diagnosi puň rappresentare uno shock traumatico perché, da un istante all’altro, la persona si trova di fronte ad una condizione di minaccia alla propria vita. I sintomi che si presentano sono gli stessi dei Disturbi Post traumatici da Stress.
Nel corso del workshop verranno presentate le modalitŕ efficaci di trattamento con l’approccio EMDR.
Il primo obiettivo da stabilire con il paziente č il seguente: trasformare il suo ruolo da vittima di eventi incontrollabili (malattia vissuta come una condanna che viene dall’alto) a protagonista attivo della propria vita (farň tutto il possibile per vincere la malattia). Un altro obiettivo importante č quello di risolvere i sintomi relativi al PTSD.
Al termine del trattamento EMDR, il paziente si trova non piů bloccato al momento della diagnosi e della paura di non farcela, ma con un atteggiamento piů consapevole e piů forte associato alla sensazione di potercela fare.
Oltre che per il trauma della diagnosi, l’EMDR si puň utilizzare in modo molto efficace per rielaborare anche altri nodi traumatici che i pazienti possono manifestare:
1. la paura di fare la stessa fine dell’amica/parente malata di cancro, ora deceduta;
2. la paura di guardarsi allo specchio e vedere un corpo mutilato o disgustoso;
3. l’ansia di seguire i trattamenti post-operatori e le loro conseguenze (chemioterapia, radioterapia);
4. l’ansia, che tende ad affacciarsi alla fine di questo lungo percorso, della recidiva.
L’EMDR viene applicato sui ricordi dei momenti piů traumatici, sulla situazioni attuali che causano ansia e disagio e su quelle future che creano ansia anticipatoria e angoscia.
Il trauma della diagnosi di cancro quindi deve essere affrontato per primo, per evitare che il paziente si ritrovi costantemente bloccato a pensare all’idea della morte. In questo modo si puň facilitare e favorire il processo che porterŕ ad intraprendere la via della guarigione.
The intensity of individual reactions notified when a diagnosis of cancer can have different accents but, generally, the communication of the diagnosis opens a first phase characterized by a state of psychological shock to the news learned as a catastrophe.
The time of diagnosis can be a traumatic shock because, from one moment to another, the person is faced with a condition of threat to their lives. The symptoms that occur are the same as post-traumatic stress disorders.
The workshop will discuss the effective ways to approach treatment with EMDR.
The first objective to establish the patient is as follows: to transform its role from being a victim of uncontrollable events (illness experienced as a conviction that comes from) to an active player of his life (I will do everything possible to cure disease). Another important objective is to resolve symptoms related to PTSD.
After treatment, EMDR, the patient is no longer blocked at diagnosis and the fear of not succeeding, but with a more aware and stronger associated with the feeling that I can do.
In addition to the trauma of diagnosis, EMDR can be used very effectively to reprocess other traumatic knots that patients may experience:
1. fear of the same fate of his friend / relative suffering from cancer, now deceased;
2. fear of looking in the mirror and see a mutilated body or disgusting;
3. anxiety to follow post-operative treatments and their consequences (chemotherapy, radiotherapy);
4. anxiety, which tends to appear at the end of this long path of recidivism.
EMDR is applied on the memories of the most traumatic, the actual situations that cause anxiety and unease over future that create anxiety and anticipatory anxiety.
The trauma of cancer diagnosis therefore must be addressed first, so that the patient constantly find yourself stuck to think the idea of death. In this way we can facilitate and encourage the process leading to take the path of healing.

Abstract:
Our lab specialized in the study of behavioral/cognitive changes following focal brain lesions. Phenomena were once considered mere curiosities - such as phantom limb, anosognosia and synesthesia - have now become "main stream"
partly as a result of the work done by us and many colleagues throughout the
world. This lecture will focus on disturbances in body image, phantom limbs, anosognosia (denial of paralysis) and somatoparaphrenia (denial of ownership of a limb). A new theory will be advanced to account for these, especially the
latter two in terms of asymmetries between the two hemispheres "coping styles"; the left involved in "Freudian defences" aud the right playing thc role of a "devils advocate" or anomaly detector. The spectrum of normal and abnormal personality styles and behavior emerges from a push-pull antagonism between
these two opposing tendencies. Vestibular stimulation through calorie cold-water
irrigation produces eye movements (nystagmus) and shifts the balance between the two hemispheres during the "orienting" response and produces profound shifts in mood and/or body image. We found that the procedure "de-represses"
apparently repressed memories in patient with denial (anosognosia) and there is
an obvious analogy here with the therapeutic claims of EMDR. The possibility
that bipolar disorder may be based on such alternation between hemispheres was
first proposed by us in 1996 and has received some support. Consequently caloric nystagmus might potentially be useful in treating disorders such as bipolar, post-traumatic stress, complex regional pain type 1, and other neuro-psychiatric disturbances as outlined briefly in my book Phantoms in the Brain.

Abstract:
The whiplash syndrome is a complex, poorly understood and controversial cluster of symptoms including spinal pain, cognitive dysfunction, neurologic symptoms and emotional complaints consistent with posttraumatic stress disorder. Perhaps its most perplexing feature is the fact that symptoms frequently are far out of proportion to the severity of the accident itself. The frequency of emotional symptoms has led many physicians to attribute symptoms of whiplash to somatization. The typical syndrome of whiplash includes chronic headaches, spinal and jaw pain, usually classified as myofascial pain. Neurologic symptoms include cognitive dysfunction, positional vertigo, balance disturbance, blurring of vision, photophobia and phonophobia, all of which are attributed to minor traumatic brain injury. Emotional complaints include driving phobias, irritability, hypervigilence, exaggerated startle, flashbacks, depression, nightmares and sleep disturbance. DSM IV compatible or subsyndromal forms of PTSD occur in up to 60% of patients.
I began to question the traumatic basis for whiplash when I discovered that most of my patients with delayed recovery had remarkable past histories of trauma, especially child abuse. I discovered that early and rigorous use of somatically based trauma therapies, especially EMDR and Somatic Experiencing resulted in clearing not only of emotional symptoms, but also neurologic and pain-related complaints in many cases. I have concluded that the neurophysiological basis for traumatization includes not only kindled arousal, explicit and procedural memory circuits, but also automatic patterns of neuromuscular bracing, stored in procedural memory analogous to motor skill memory. Bracing patterns of involved muscles represent protective motor reflexes from the moment of injury. Linked to memory and arousal, this kindled circuit leads to perpetuation of regional myofascial pain. Dissociation plays a major role in perpetuation of this phenomenon, and accounts for many of the unusual neurologic symptoms of whiplash.
This model conforms to current theories of PTSD as a model of kindling, but includes the somatic element that I believe is a universal part of the syndrome of traumatization. The pervasive neurohormonal effects of trauma account for the remarkable amount of somatic complaints in this syndrome, and may be the basis for many poorly understood chronic idiopathic disease processes. Incorporation of the neuromuscular system in the process of traumatization pleads for the study of somatically-based therapies for PTSD.
