1. New South Wales Court of Appeals. (1995, December). Admissibility of evidence from hypnosis or EMDR. Law Society Journal, 33(11), 16.
Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
As a result of the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal's decision in R v Tillott & Ors on 1 September 1995 it has become important to provide procedural guidelines for obtaining evidence of witnesses who have undergone hypnosis or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
The guidelines for hypnosis, now also applicable to EMDR, are not a strict test of admissibility - or a requirement - but failure to comply with the guidelines may result in the court declining to admit such evidence, whether proffered by the Crown or from a witness for the defence.[Source abstract]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The Recent Events Protocol was used extensively in the treatment of World Trade Center survivors, first responders and recovery workers. In
this workshop we will review the Recent Events Protocol and discuss the utilization in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The
workshop will describe when it is appropriate to modify the Recent Events Protocol. Clinical examples for civilian and non-civilian personnel
will be presented. Specific techniques will be described on how to reprocess PTSD symptoms in 5 sessions or less even when the client has significant previous traumatic memories. The contrast in using the protocol for
PTSD symptoms as compared to grief will be discussed.

3. Roberts, A. R. (2002, Spring). Assessment, crisis intervention, and trauma treatment: The integrative ACT intervention model. Brief Treatment & Crisis Intervention, 2(1), 1-21.
Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
This article presents a conceptual three-stage framework and intervention model that should be useful in helping mental health professionals provide acute crisis and trauma treatment services. The ACT model stands for Assessment, Crisis Intervention, and Trauma Treatment. This new model may be thought of as a sequential set of assessments and intervention strategies. The ACT intervention model integrates various assessment and triage protocols with the seven-stage crisis intervention model, and the ten-step acute traumatic stress management protocol. In addition, this article introduces and briefly highlights the other eight narrative, theoretical, and empirically based papers in this issue that focus on mental health and crisis-oriented intervention strategies implemented within 1 month after the September 11, 2001, terroristic mass disaster at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Abstract:
On September 26th 2009 Typhoon Ketsana wrought devastation on parts of the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia. Mindful
of the hard lessons learned running a tsunami trauma programme in Thailand in 2005/06 Jane Lopacka, an EMDR therapist
and training facilitator and director of Phnom Penh Counselling Centre, led and supervised a team of Cambodian MA in
Clinical Psychology students who were trained in Part 1 EMDR to provide EMDR treatment to Ketsana victims. The purpose
of this paper is to demonstrate the scope, assessment methods, treatment programme, constraints, financial issues, and
challenges of the programme whilst utilising the lessons learned from Thailand’s Tsunami EMDR trauma programme. The
results regarding the efficacy of EMDR in a Cambodian context will be examined using pre and post treatment data. The
results include a comparison of 4 months post-treatment evaluation compared to an assessment of an equivalent random
number of Ketsana victims from the same and neighbouring villages who did not receive treatment (to be completed in June
2010 as the farming season dictates). This paper will also demonstrate the utilisation of the lessons learned from Thailand’s
Tsunami EMDR programme in a typhoon trauma treatment programme in Cambodia. Also, this being the students’ first
exposure to trauma work using EMDR, this paper will record the experiences of the students involved. By way of conclusion
this paper will identify further lessons learned in Cambodia along with recommendations regarding future feasible and
manageable post-trauma work with limited resources and a small budget in a Southeast context.

Language: Dutch
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Er zijn, zover bekend, zeven artikelen verschenen over de toepassing van EMDR bij DIS. Young (1994) beschrijft de toepassing van EMDR gericht op de fobische symptomen bij DIS. Paulsen (1995) komt met een theoretisch model gebaseerd op neuronale netwerken voor de dissociatieve stoornissen. Volgens Paulsen zorgt EMDR voor de her-associatie van het gedisscocieerde materiaal. Zij maant echter tot behoedzaam gebruik van EMDR, zeker bij de ernstige dissociatieve stoornissen. Anderen maken melding dat, vaak aangepaste versies van, EMDR zinvol kan zijn als een beperkte toegevoegde techniek in de behandeling van DIS (Lazrove & Fine, 1996; Chemtob, Tolin, Van Der Kolk, & Pitnam, 2000; Twombly, 2000; Fine & Berkowitz, 2001). Gelinas (2003) gaat nog verder en stelt een behandeling voor waarin een gemodificeerde vorm van van EMDR wordt gecombineerd met een ‘fase georiënteerde trauma behandeling’.
In deze presentatie staat de behandeling van een 44 jarige, zeer ernstig getraumatiseerde vrouw met DIS centraal. Zij volgt sinds eind 1997 een cognitief-gedragstherapeutische therapie. In september 2004 is er gestart met EMDR. Mede aan de hand van videofragmenten wordt het half jaar durende verwerkingsproces verteld, van één van de vele trauma’s die de cliënte heeft meegemaakt. Te zien valt onder meer hoe met behulp van EMDR specifieke informatie van de diverse alters zodanig geďntegreerd wordt, dat volledige verwerking mogelijk blijkt te zijn. Er zal aandacht besteed worden aan de specifieke wijze waarop bij deze behandeling met EMDR moest worden omgegaan.
There are known to be seven articles about the use of EMDR in DIS. Young (1994) describes the application of EMDR focused on phobic symptoms in DIS. Paulsen (1995) with a theoretical model based on neural networks for the dissociative disorders. According to Paulsen EMDR allows for the re-association of the gedisscocieerde material. It urges, however, to cautious use of EMDR, especially in severe dissociative disorders. Others have reported that, often modified versions of, EMDR can be useful as a limited added technique in the treatment of CIS (Lazrove & Fine, 1996; Chemtob, Tolin, Van Der Kolk, & Pitnam, 2000, Twombly, 2000, Fine & Berkowitz, 2001). Gelinas (2003) goes further and proposes a treatment for which a modified form of EMDR is combined with a phase-oriented trauma treatment.
In this presentation, the treatment of a 44 year old woman with very severely traumatized central CIS. It follows since the end of 1997 a cognitive-behavioral therapy. In September 2004 has started with EMDR. Partly on the basis of video clips, the half-year process told by one of the many traumas that the client has experienced. Is to see how including using EMDR specific information from the various alters so integrated that complete processing proves impossible. Attention will be paid to the specific manner in which this treatment with EMDR should be handled.

Abstract:

great losses. on the Israeli side, civilians of all ages, and ethnic
groups, have been exposed to various types of terrorist attacks.

The effect of a single session of EMDR on intrusive distress in acute stress syndromes: Purpose: To examine the efficacy of a single session of a modified
abridged EMDR protocol in reducing Acute Stress Syndromes
(ASS) following accidents and terrorist bombing attacks.
Methods: Treatment was provided, in a general hospital inpatient
and out-patient setting to 86 patients with ASS.
Friday: 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Presenters are underlined and discussants are italicized.
If serving in both roles, they are both underlined and italicized. Findings: Fifty percent reported immediate fading of their intrusive
symptoms and general alleviation of their distress, 27% described
partial alleviation of their symptoms, while 23% reported no
improvement. Four week and six month follow-up, in the terror
victims group only, showed that the immediate responders
remained symptom free, while half of the non-responders, who
also received subsequent additional interventions modalities, were
still symptomatic.
Conclusions: The difference in response may be attributed, in part,
to the fact that immediate responders tended to have an
uncomplicated ASS with fewer risk factors for PTSD, while the
non-responders had higher exposure to former traumas and
endorsed more risk factors for PTSD. These results support other
anecdotal reports on the rapid effects of brief EMDR intervention in
uncomplicated cases and offer a psycho-physiological hypothesis
for immediate response. While additional controlled studies are
essential, this immediate symptomatic relief may be a potential
addition for focused interventions in acute trauma victims.

EMDR effectiveness in adults with PTSD and an intellectual disability: A case series [La efectividad del EMDR en adultos con una discapacidad intelectual y TEPT: Series de casos]. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Assocation, Madrid, Spain.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Background People with an intellectual disability (ID) have an increased
vulnerability for abuse and assault, and subsequently an increased risk of developing
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The prevalence of PTSD is found to be
significantly higher in people with intellectual disabilities than in people without
disabilities. Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has proved to be
an effective PTSD treatment in people without ID. EMDR is widely used in treating
people with ID, while research into the effectiveness of EMDR in individuals with an ID
is very scarce. Therefore more research is necessary to speak of EMDR being an
evidence-based trauma treatment for this specific population.
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of eye movement
desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in treating PTSD in adults with an ID. The
effects of the treatment on anxiety, symptoms of depression, and quality of life were
also investigated.
Methods From September 2010 till december 2012, adults with an ID, diagnosed with
PTSD and treated with EMDR, were included in the study. Before and after treatment
questionnaires were completed by the participants. Normative deviation scores (NDS)
were calculated to estimate the condition of the participant before and after
treatment compared to the non-disabled population. The Reliable Change Index (RCI)
was used to establish statistically significant change due to treatment.
Preliminary results Primarily, a significant change in PTSD symptoms, from clinical to
non-clinical levels, is found. Secondarily, co-morbid anxiety and depression complaints
are detected, which decline after treatment with EMDR. In addition, an increase in
wellbeing in the participants is found.
Conclusion From the preliminary results EMDR seems an effective treatment for PTSD
in adults with an ID. However, for calculations are still being conducted, the final
results and conclusions will be presented at the conference

Abstract:
This article presents the results of a time-limited psychological relief effort using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) following the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Clients made highly significant positive gains on a range of outcome variables, including validated psychometrics and self-report scales. Analyses of the data suggest 2 broad conclusions: EMDR is a useful treatment intervention both in the immediate aftermath of disaster as well as later; the longer treatment is delayed, the greater the level of disturbance experienced by clients. Also discussed are problems in conducting research during mass disaster response situations. A demonstration of an analog to a wait-list control group is provided. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Therapists who respond to massive trauma find that some clients (i.e., people who escaped the WTC Towers, rescue workers, firefighters, and those who have lost family members) may be triggered into reexperiencing earlier traumas and may present with a dissociative disorder. Integration of EMDR and Ego State Therapy provides a safer approach. Unresolved trauma necessitates dealing with ego states that hold earlier memories/symptoms to prevent poor response to standard EMDR. This presentation emphasizes practical, safety focused innovations; planing for longer EMDR treatment; developing resources, stability and readiness; container and imagery exercises to help clients deal with triggering stressful situations. This workshop will provide handout and bibliography; case illustrations and slides of clients treated in the aftermath of disaster.

Abstract:
To quote the review of the hardcover in KLIATT, September 2005: Sixteen-year-old Anna kills her brother's girlfriend Cameron in a car crash after drinking at a party, but she was not drunk. Her best friend Ellen is also seriously injured. To make matters worse, Anna and her brother have an emotionally abusive father, a weak and distant mother, and this problem has driven a wedge into their relationship even before the trauma of the accident. This is a story of grief and the different ways people are changed by extreme events and how they heal. It is also the story of the power of friendship and the need for other people in our lives and suggests the necessity of forgiveness for the weakness of others. In addition, it explores the use of EMDR therapy to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. Frank's use of language and her powerful flashbacks, accompanied by her insight into the human condition, make this novel rich and compelling, one whose images linger in the memory after the last page. Frank (author of America, Friction, and Life is Funny) allows her characters to speak for themselves. No authorial voice jumps in to make pronouncements. The characters chide, comfort, warn, and get angry at each other and ultimately their interactions are an essential part of the healing process. This novel's themes and execution make it an excellent read for all adolescents, though younger teens may not appreciate it as much as older teens because of its sophisticated imagery.

Abstract:
The occurrence and impact of terrorist attacks can be dramatic and long lasting. Cognitivebehavioral
interventions are effective in alleviating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in
survivors of rape, wartime combat, automobile accidents, and natural disasters. Effectiveness
of such interventions on victims of terrorist attacks is in the early stages of research. On
September 11, 2001, two hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers in New York City,
killing approximately 2,750 people and emotionally and physically affecting thousands who
witnessed or escaped the attack. This case study illustrates a course of 12 active prolonged
exposure (PE) sessions for PTSD with a female survivor. After 15 sessions (3 of which were
preparatory), the client improved 75%, as measured by a composite score of measures. Her
reported quality of life had improved dramatically posttreatment and remained stable at 6-month
follow-up. This cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention, with 15 office sessions and homework
assignments for decreasing avoidances, is described and discussed.

Abstract:
Whereas most patients with PTSD construct a narrative of their trauma over time, it is a characteristic of PTSD that sensory elements of the trauma itself continue to intrude as flashbacks and nightmares, altered states of consciousness in which the trauma is relived, unintegrated with an overall sense of self. Because traumatic memories are so fragmented, it seems reasonable to postulate that extreme emotional arousal leads to failure of the central nervous system (CNS) to synthesize the sensations related to the trauma into an integrated whole. Earlier models for a biological substrate of these phenomena have become rapidly outdated with the availability of new information derived from neuroimaging studies of patients with PTSD. The emerging body of knowledge from these studies has stimulated a gradual shift in emphasis away from the neurochemicals involved in the organisms' response to overwhelming threat to a focus on the neuronal filters concerned in the interpretation of sensory information: the interactions between the various parts of the CNS that process and interpret the meaning of incoming information, such as the amygdala, hippocampus, corpus callosum, anterior cingulte, and prefrontal cortex.

Abstract:
A randomized pilot study demonstrated the efficacy of EMDR to reduce the craving in alcohol addicted in-patients (Hase, 2006). The rationale of this EMDR approach is based on the concept of the addiction memory (Woffgramm and Heyne, 1995; Heyne, May et al, 2000; Wolffgramm, Galli et al, 2000). The addiction memory qualifies as a maladaptive memory regarding to the Adaptive Information Processing Model. The DeTUR approach was introduced to reprocess triggers for abuse and to reduce the user to use a drug in 1998 (Popky, 1998; Popky, 2005). If differs slightly in it rationale. J. Wolffgramm established an animal model of addiction providing data to move towards the concept of memory of addiction (Wolffgramm, Galli et al, 200). A. J. Popky established the DeTUR approach. M. Hase conducted the randomized pilot study demonstrating the efficacy of EMDR in the treatment of alcohol addicts. Wolffgramm, Popky, and Hase will discuss research, theory, and practice of EMDR in the treatment of addictions representing the state of the art of EMDR addiction treatment.

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) was originally developed to treat traumatic memories. Since its development, the application of EMDR has proliferated to various disorders. A single session utilizing the EMDR approach applied to the treatment of nontraumatic fear of flying is presented. For this study, the EMDR process was adapted tomeet the needs of the client. The purpose of this study is to provide an example of the in-flight application of a single session of EMDR to nontraumatic or small "t" fear of flying. The case of a client successfully treated with in-flight EMDR is presented. Pre-September 11 and post-September 11 follow-up with the client is also documented.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Five examples of nontraditional psychosocial treatments used for children/adolescents are reviewed: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback, deep pressure/touch therapies, stress-challenge treatments, and confrontational scare treatments. The generic recommendations from the September 1992 National Institutes of Health Conference on Unconventional Medical Treatments are summarized. Additional screening principles specific for psychosocial treatments are proposed and applied to the five treatments. The screens do not validate treatment efficacy or evaluate the quality of any previous research, but only facilitate decisions as to whether treatments deserve controlled investigation. Scientific evaluation of the nontraditional treatments reviewed could in general benefit from blinds (at least for assessment); control conditions matched for intensity, frequency, and duration (double blind where feasible); dose-response studies; testing of generalization and endurance supplements or boosters for quick, cheap treatments with time- or domain-limited effects; and comparing cost-effectiveness with established treatments. Two unscientific pitfalls must be avoided: embracing new treatments uncritically and rejecting them without fair examination. These pitfalls must be skirted without dissipating scarce research resources. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Recommended by the Department of Defense and the American Psychiatric Association among many other organizations, EMDR uses a set of standardized protocols that incorporate elements from many different treatment approaches. It “essentially shines a light on the emergency event or events stored in the more primitive brain allowing the event to be processed in a safe way,” said Joyce Goldstein of West Brighton a family therapist and trained EMDR therapist.
Volunteer licensed and EMDR trained therapists from Staten Island, Manhattan and Boston will be available, several of whom have helped relieve suffering after September 11, Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti as part of the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program.

Abstract:
Following the attacks on the New York World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program initiated a response establishing the New York City Disaster Mental Health Recovery Network. The network provided coordination and assistance to local psychotherapists who volunteered to provide treatment to individuals directly affected by the tragedy. The psychotherapists utilized both the EMDR standard protocol and the EMDR Recent Events protocol during the initial aftermath and ongoing recovery at the World Trade Center site. The development of the network is reviewed, and detailed descriptions are provided regarding three cases to illustrate the use of the EMDR Recent Events protocol. The research findings reported by Silver, Rogers, Knipe, and Colelli that demonstrated support for EMDR as a postdisaster treatment are summarized. Further research is recommended. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
After September 11, a friend sent me the following quote from Hemingway, a
gift I want to share it with you.
"The world breaks everyone and afterward some are strong at the broken
places." I cannot think of a better way to capture what our aim is than to say that
through our work, we try to help our patients –and ourselves-- become stronger
at the broken places. In the process of doing the work, we also sometimes
discover amazing places that have always been strong and were never broken.
Not so infrequently, in the course of dealing with tragedy, with destruction, with
misfortune, and evil, we are taken aback by the miracles that we are privileged to
witness. Steeled for the worst, we encounter the best. It is not only that some are
strong at the broken places; it is also that, through trauma, others become
strong, and discover they’re strong in ways they never knew. For sometimes
trauma awakens extraordinary capacities that otherwise would lie dormant,
unknown and untapped. Without the trauma, they would never see the light of
day.

Abstract:
Since the 9/11 attack, EMDR clinicians have been treating hypertraumatized clients aided by the Natural Flow EMDR model. This resourcing approach uses dilution of SUDS with positive body sensations, modified eye movements, continuous auditory BLS, and self-administered tactile processing. This model draws from the creative flow of EMDR processing with "essential listening" and "no assumptions" leading to the clients' "essential truths" and healing resolution.

Format: Journal
Abstract:
Since September 2006, more than 725 service members from the global war on terrorism have survived combat-related traumatic amputations that often result in phantom limb pain (PLP) syndrome. Combat amputees are also at high risk of developing chronic mental health conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and clinical depression as they deal with wartime experiences, rehabilitation, and postrehabilitation adjustments. One active-duty patient was referred to a military outpatient clinic for treatment of PLP and PTSD following a traumatic leg amputation from a noncombat-related motor vehicle accident. Four sessions of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) led to elimination of PLP and a significant reduction in PTSD, depression, and phantom limb tingling sensations. A detailed account of this treatment, as well as a review of the benefits of EMDR research and treatment in the military, is provided. The results are promising but in need of further research.

Abstract:
After the events of September 11, 2001, and at a time in world history when refugees and displaced persons are moving about the world in numbers that are unprecedented (United States Committee for Refugees, 2001), the likelihood of counselors encountering refugees is increased regardless of their treatment settings, from schools to government agencies. Civilians are increasingly at risk for being victimized by organized political violence (Porter & Haslam, 2001), and the United States alone hosts almost half a million refugees (United States Committee for Refugees, 2001). In the article "Refugee Survivors of Torture: Trauma and Treatment," Gorman (2001) illustrated dynamics that may go unrecognized by clinicians who work with these complex individuals and families, and he provided a holistic conceptualization of these dynamics.

Abstract:
Excerpt. One common theme of much modern pseudoscience is the idea that "power" or "energy" emanates from the human body and can be treated and manipulated. The Chinese concept of chi is based on it (SI, Summer 1988, July/August 1996, September/October 1996). We've seen the idea applied recently to therapy with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR, see SI, January/February 1996) and Therapeutic Touch, which is taught in many university nursing schools and actually involves waving the hands over a patient without touching her (see SI, Winter 1993 and Spring 1993).
