Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
An evaluation of program failures in the treatment of combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder has led some reviewers to conclude that the focus of treatment should be shifted away from combat trauma and directed toward other problems. A more detailed examination of these programs reveals that they rarely involve the systematic use of the most soundly-validated PTSD treatment, trauma-focused therapy.

Abstract:
What are effective treatments for chronic pain? Due to the multi-dimensional aspects of pain, a number of treatment approaches have been used. They take into account the cognitive, affective, behavioral, social, and physical aspects of pain. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), hypnosis, acupuncture, and biofeedback training have all been used. While EMDR therapy was originally utilized in the treatment of PTSD the neurobiological similarities with PTSD patients and chronic pain disorders has led therapists to use EMDR in the treatment of a broad range of disorders including chronic pain, anger, anxiety, and depression (Silver, Rogers, & Russell, 2008). Studies have found EMDR effective in the treatment of chronic pain (Mazzola, Calcagno, Goicochea, Pueyrredon, Leston, & Salvat, 2009; Shapiro, 2012) [Excerpt]

4. Sabey, A. (2001, May). Can EMDR be used within a client-centred (non-directive) play therapy sessions?. Poster presented at the EMDR Europe Association annual meeting, London, UK .
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The purpose of this exploratory study was to see whether EMDR could he incorporated into a
Client-Centred model of Play Therapy, to enable children and adolescents to more rapidly
process traumatic memories, thereby enhancing the therapeutic process. The Client-Centred
(non-directive) Play Therapy model is now well recognised as a way of helping children and
adolescents who have experienced psychological trauma to work through their experiences in
a way that is both empowering and non-threatening. It is based on Rogerian principles
(Rogers 1951), with the philosophy that given the right therapeutic conditions the children,
like adults, have an innate drive towards health. The child leads the way, and the therapist
follows. I have struggled to see how EMDR can fit comfortably within a client-centered play
therapy model, although I recognise that Shapiro describes the model as client-centred.
To test a hypothesis that EMDR could be integrated into a client-centred play therapy
approach, three children were identified. All 3 were waiting for some regular weekly client-centred
play therapy sessions, within the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, in
West Yorkshire. The subject of the study were two girls, one aged 8 years old and the other
aged 14 years with a mild learning disability, and a boy who was 13 years old. All three had
experienced complex psychological trauma including sexual abuse.
My dilemma was whether it was in fact possible to introduce EMDR within the sessions, and
if so, how to do this in a way that enhanced the therapeutic process and did not intrude. The
sessions were set up introducing the EMDR protocol alongside setting up the client-centred
play therapy sessions. Each child was offered 10-12 weekly sessions. In this presentation I
will summarise my findings and hope to show how possible ways the two approaches can be
integrated.

Abstract:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) werd in 1989 door Shapiro geïntroduceerd als een therapeutische techniek voor Posttraumatische stress–stoornis (PTSS). Sindsdien hebben diverse EMDR–;therapeuten geopperd dat deze interventie ook toepasbaar is bij andere trauma–gerelateerde klachten. In een studie van Hekmat, Groth en Rogers (1994) is geclaimd dat EMDR effectief is bij de behandeling van pijn. In het onderhavige onderzoek is deze claim verder onderzocht. Daartoe werden 45 gezonde vrijwilligers onderworpen aan 8 elektrische prikkels. De proefpersonen werden verdeeld over 3 groepen: een groep die behandeld werd met EMDR, een groep die ter afleiding van de prikkels naar een cartoon keek, en een controlegroep waarbij geen verdere interventie werd uitgevoerd. Zowel fysiologische als subjectieve reacties op de pijnprikkels werden geregistreerd. Op geen enkele effectmaat werden verschillen tussen de drie groepen gevonden. In de discussie wordt dit resultaat in een breder perspectief geplaatst.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) was introduced by Shapiro in 1989 as a therapeutic technique for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Since then several EMDR, therapists suggested that this intervention is also applicable to other trauma-related symptoms. In a study by Hekmat, Groth and Rogers (1994) has claimed that EMDR is effective in treating pain. In the present study further investigated this claim. For this purpose, 45 healthy volunteers subjected to 8 electrical stimuli. The subjects were divided into 3 groups: one group treated with EMDR, a group that as a distraction from the stimuli to a cartoon look, and a control group with no further intervention was performed. Both physiological and subjective responses to pain stimuli were recorded. In no effect size differences were found between the three groups. In the discussion, this results in a wider perspective.

Abstract:
Those who have attended Francine Shapiro’s Plenary Addresses
in recent EMDRIA Conferences are aware of her wish that
EMDR clinicians accurately reproduce the EMDR procedure
and understand her Adaptive Information Processing model. This
concern was sparked by the frequency of phone calls to the EMDR
Institute from clients who had been treated with variations of the
EMDR protocol with poor results. Also, here in Pennsylvania, we
have had several veterans come into our treatment program claiming
that they had been treated with EMDR and it didn’t work. When
we asked for a description of the treatment, it was clear that the
therapist had added elements to the desensitization phase, such as
affi rmations, positive imagery, and relaxation techniques.

Abstract:
There has been extensive debate about the active treatment components involved in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR); one commonly stated perspective is that EMDR is simply a repackaged cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). This discussion will explore the active components of EMDR and CBT for the treatment of PTSD. In order to provide a shared context for discussion, it will begin with a brief overview of the interventions (EMDR, Exposure, Stress Inoculation Therapy), including some video clips of the interventions. Following this, key questions will be presented for discussion by the entire group, such as: "What shared components are evident?" "What research designs would be appropriate to evaluate components?" "What process and outcome measures might be included to shed light on mechanisms?" Participants will be also encouraged to offer their own questions for discussion.

Language: English

Abstract:
Since its inception as a treatment for trauma,
there have been increasing reports of EMDR
being efficacious with pain . (McCann, 1992,
Hekmat Groth & Rogers, 1994, Wilson, Becker
and Tinker,1997, Grant 2000). EMDR is an
integrative method with many different
components. One of these is the therapeutic
relationship. Compassion is also an essential
element of any effective intervention (Rubins,
1986, Waldman & Waldman, 1996). However,
it is often confused with empathy or pity,
indicating the need for a definition based on a
concept analysis (Just, 1998). Given its
importance in the therapeutic process, and the
effects of social isolation on chronic pain
sufferers, it is remarkable how little
consideration is given to this topic.

Abstract:
From the first days of its development, EMDR was applied to those suffering from the trauma of war.
As EMDR pioneers worked with this population, the unique features of resolving combat-related PTSD
rapidly became clear. These features included not only the complexity of the symptoms, issues, and
the involvement of other life experiences but included also the particular skills, knowledge, and
attitudes needed of the clinician. In the area of research, while the population of survivors with warrelated
PTSD steadily and unfortunately has grown, research has not kept pace. This has resulted not
only in deficits of the scientific support for EMDR but has contributed to challenges to the use of
EMDR with combat veterans.

EMDR is one of the most effective short term treatment approaches for trauma. The use of EMDR in the treatment of combat stress improves Marines’ and Sailors’ adaptive functioning, thus improving Mission Readiness. Research has shown a rapid decline in self reported distress after only one session of EMDR (Rogers, et al 1999). Additionally, 77.7% of combat veterans treated with EMDR no longer met criteria for PTSD (Carlson et al, 1998). Now more than ever effective short term treatment is available. This presentation will include several case studies highlighting the use of EMDR in treating combat stress symptoms.

Abstract:
A case of a young mother with an insecure attachment history herself who suffered severe post-natal depression after the birth of her first child and who regretted having this baby. Although recovering well from depression when first seen, having benefited from drug therapy and group therapy, there ware nevertheless little progress regarding her bonding with the child. Assessment indicated the emergence of an insecure/ambivalent attachment on the part of the baby resulting in excessive clinginess, sleeping, feeding and management difficulties. Apart from EMDR a number of other models of therapy were used in this case, including mother-infant psychotherapy, solution-focused and narrative therapy. In my own estimation, and in feedback from Susan, EMDR was the most powerful of all interventions. I think this care then represents a very good example of how EMDR is integrated with other therapeutic approaches. In terms of our understanding of this process, one conceptual model (Shapiro, 1995) is that the positive perspective and more adaptive interpretation that traditional therapy provides – including insight and a coherent narrative – is held in a separate neurological network and therefore cannot influence the network containing the dysfunction ally stored material associated with the traumatic memory. Traditional therapy is often unable to help the client link one to the other, and this is where EMDR is so impressively effective.

Abstract:
A great deal of the history of EMDR involves its use with war and terrorism survivors. In recent years, that use has included the newest generation of American veterans from the War on Terror. In the face of steadily increasing numbers of people with trauma reactions, many therapists are reporting that they are seeing more veterans seeking help outside the traditional venues, such as the Veterans Administration. This presentation will focus on what has been learned, why it is important for clinicians to be aware of the needs of this population, and the sometimes unique demands such work places on clinicians.

Abstract:
This panel presentation addresses ecological validity, process factors, methodological variables, and sociopolitical context in the interpretation and dissemination of outcome research. Since its introduction, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) has been the focus of controversy because of its departure from existing paradigms, its non-traditional dissemination, and immoderate claims for rapid effectiveness. This panel reviews the socio-political context in which EMDR developed and its relevance for other emerging psychotherapeutic approaches. Findings from a recent methodological meta-analysis are reviewed to provide an empirical context for assessing the range of results in different outcome studies. Specific client, therapist, and methodological variables that could account for disparities in outcome are examined and implications for interpreting research outcomes are discussed. The panel also summarizes the findings of various recent studies that identified the effects of eye movements as decreasing vividness and emotionality of memory, physiological arousal, and in-session subjective distress. Findings from two recently completed studies are reported in which both process variables and active ingredients were examined. Limitations of the group design approach to the dismantling of psychotherapies are also discussed.

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:
Since its introduction by Francine Shapiro in
1989, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing
(EMDR) has gained wide acceptance as an efficacious
clinical treatment. It is particularly useful in the
treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Alto,
2001). Despite its relative novelty, EMDR has been used
to treat survivors, emergency workers, and disaster
relief counselors worldwide. EMDR therapists have
successfully employed EMDR in Oklahoma City,
Belfast, Zagreb, Rwanda, Dunblane, Sarajevo,
Columbine, and Londonderry. EMDR has also been
used in the treatment of PTSD for combat veterans from
World War II, the Korean War, Beirut, and the Vietnam
War (Silver & Rogers, 2002, p. xix). EMDR effects
exceed those of nonspecific effects shared by all
treatments and are independent of client expectations.
Moreover, EMDR effects are at least equal to effects
of cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR requires
less time than other models with less client attrition
(Silver & Rogers, p. 254). Importantly, the American
Psychological Association has listed EMDR as an
efficacious treatment for civilian PTSD (Alto, 2001).

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Recent practice guidelines and meta-analyses have designated eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as a first-line treatment for trauma. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is an eight-phase therapeutic approach guided by an information-processing model that addresses the combat veteran's critical incidents, current triggers, and behaviors likely to prove useful in his or her future. Two case examples of combat veterans illustrate the ability of EMDR to achieve symptom reduction in a variety of clinical domains (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger, physical pain) simultaneously without requiring the patient to carry out homework assignments or discuss the details of the event. The treatment of phantom limb pain and other somatic presentations is also reviewed. The ability of EMDR to achieve positive effects without homework indicates that it can be effectively employed on consecutive days, making it especially useful during combat situations. [Wiley]

Abstract: W
hen EMDR is incorporated into a treatment plan, the treatment outcome is primarily determined by the clients' willingness and ability to trust their therapists and face the painful feelings that are limiting their functioning. Each treatment plan has to be carefully designed in order to assist individuals to overcome behavior adaptations based on trauma and assist them to function more adequately in the present. I have found it most effective to educate clients about their trauma history and the adaptations they have to make and enlist them as active participants in the healing process. A collaborative relationship is necessary in order to determine whether clients are willing and able to take the risks necessary to face painful emotions and experiences in order to overcome barriers in their lives. The therapeutic journey discussed in this chapter is inspiring because it illustrates the complexity of such a healing process. "Susan's" story demonstrates that EMDR is a tool that can help clients go back in time and develop those parts of their personalities that could not emerge because of an invalidating environment.

Abstract:
This article presents the well established theoretical base and clinical practice of exposure therapy for trauma. Necessary requirements for positive treatment results and contraindicated procedures are reviewed. EMDR is contrasted with these requirements and procedures. By the definitions and clinical practice of exposure therapy, the classification of EMDR poses some problems. As seen from the exposure therapy paradigm, its lack of physiological habituation and use of spontaneous association should result in negligible or negative effects rather than the well researched positive outcomes. Possible reasons for the effectiveness of EMDR are discussed, ranging from the fundamental nature of trauma reactions to the nonexposure mechanisms utilized in information processing models.

EMDR has gained recognition as an effective PTSD treatment, with effects comparable to prolonged exposure or combinations of exposure with cognitive restructuring. Attempts to dismantle EMDR have led some reviewers to conclude that the eye movements are an inert treatment component and that EMDR is simply a form of exposure therapy. However, several studies have shown that eye movements are associated with decreased subjective distress during treatment sessions, decreased vividness and emotionality of mental imagery, decreased physiological arousal and enhanced episodic memory. These findings have implications for clinicians who are interested in ‘ease of useEas well as treatment outcome. They also have implications for the habituation/extinction model of anxiety reduction. Limitations of the group design approach to the dismantling of psychotherapies will be discussed, along with the results of two recently completed studies.

Abstract:
Notes that the effects of war and terrorism can be long-lasting and discreet, emerging years later in different forms of psychological and physical strain in the body. In this work, the authors uncover how developments in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be successfully applied to the treatment of war and terrorism trauma. They address issues confronted by all clinicians attempting to respond to this particular type of trauma--the psychological aftermath of man's inhumanity to man. The authors focus on the application of EMDR to clients' traumatic experiences, covering a wide range of traumatic settings and survivors from school violence to "near-war" experiences, refugees, combat soldiers, children, and emergency service workers. They provide a review of the research on the use of EMDR, specific case studies to demonstrate their results as well as general suggestions for integrating EMDR into the therapeutic process. It is stated that this book can be used as a general reference for all practitioners looking to broaden their understanding and care of trauma patients.

Abstract:
Explored the efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) without music vs eye movement desensitization with music (EMDM) in the management of acute pain induced by hand exposures to ice water. 30 Ss were randomly assigned to EMDR, EMDM, or control. The EMDR Ss focused on negative experiences associated with exposure to ice water, generated positive self-talk, and diverted their attention away from pain by focusing on a rapidly moving light on a monitor. The EMDM group received eye movement desensitization coupled with preferred music. Measures of hypnotic susceptibility, mood states, pain, and treatment credibility were obtained. Repeated measures univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the data. Both procedures alleviated participants' pain to a similar degree and significantly more than the control. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract:
Preliminary Data was collected on a group of Vietnam veterans
from10/20/97 to 9/1/98. All Subjects met criteria for PTSD
according to DSM IV utilizing the CAPS scale. Patients were then
randonly assigned to either the EMDR group or the Flooding
group. One therapist completed one EMDR session on the
patient’s Primary Combat Image; another therapist completed one
session on the PCI using Flooding technique. The head nurse,
blind to the treatment provided, met with each subject prior to
group assignment and measured their Blood pressure and pulse
using DINAMAP Blood Pressure Monitor. He then asked the subjects
to keep a SUDS Scale on their PCI noting frequency and
intensity for the next week. He also asked them to complete an
Impact of Event Scale on their PCI. Subjects then received one
session of EMDR or Flooding and were asked to keep a SUDS
Scale on their PCI for another week. Subjects then returned to the
head nurse, were asked to recall their PCI and blood pressure,
pulse and SUDS and IES were again measured. Because of small
cell sizes (EMDR =8, Flooding =10) treatment effects did not
always reach Statistical significance. Nonetheless several differences
were found between the two groups. ANOVA’s were performed
using the changes in blood pressure and heart rate measured at a
final assessment period during a baseline period and while recalling
their PCI. For systolic blood pressure the EMDR group showed
no change while the Flooding group increased by 9.2. For diastolic
blood pressure the EMDR group declined an average of 3.3 while
the Flooding group increased by 7.6. For heart rate, the EMDR
group remained essentially unchanged while the Flooding group
increased an average of 6.6. This difference was significant at the
(p<.05). The EMDR group reported their PCI memories were less
severe during the week following treatment while the Flooding
group showed little change. ANOVA analysis found these differences
to tend toward statistical significance (p=.10). The EMDR
group showed improvement on the SUDS scale amd some subscales
of the IES.With prelimiary data suggesting that EMDR is
more effective than flooding,further research needs to be pursued.

Abstract:
Findings of component studies are summarized, with a review of studies which reported that EMs reduced memory vividness and emotiveness. The results of three recent studies are presented. 1) A study evaluated the effects of EMs on the components of memory to test working memory explanations of EMDR; 2) a study using participants with dental phobia determined if memories of disturbing dental events,and related dental anxiety, were influenced by EMs; 3) A large-N comparison with combat veterans, compared EMDR and a non-eye-movement analog to evaluate the effect of EMs on treatment outcome, process and changes in trauma narratives.

Abstract:
I wasn't unscathed. My energy was sapped for weeks. I went to a followup medical appointment, then had to rest in my car for an hour, then got some breakfast, then rested again before driving home. A therapist specializing in EMDR for trauma helped me release the greater part of what I was holding. (Susan needed as many sessions as I did.) For awhile, when I was dancing again, crashing drumbeats would send me cowering in tears. Even now, an unexpected expression used in conversation by someone else ("It's not like someone put a gun to you and made you do it") often produces a visible jolt in my body and a short-lived but intense emotional shock.

Abstract:
An earlier study of federal Department of Defense mental health professionals found relatively few trained in the psychotherapies for PTSD previously identified as effective by both this department and the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. In response to that need, a training program for one of the psychotherapies, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), was implemented utilizing personnel from these federal departments with assistance from a nonprofit agency. This article presents an evaluation of that program with rating data gathered from participants as well as treatment outcome data from the application of the training to patients. The program was highly rated by the participants and the impact of EMDR treatment was significant. Suggestions for similar programs and for further research are offered. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
This report summarizes data gathered thus far from an ongoing study. Two groups (total N = 12) of Vietnam War veterans diagnosed with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) received a single session of exposure or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focusing on the veterans’ most distressing war experience. Group assignment was random, treatment providers were blind to assessment data, and the pre- and posttreatment assessor was blind to treatment assignment. Both groups showed improvement on the Impact of Event Scale. EMDR treatment resulted in greater positive changes in within-session Subjective Units of Discomfort levels and on self-monitored severity of intrusive recollection. A trend toward decreased heart rate reactivity was observed in both groups. Results must be considered carefully due to the small number of subjects used in the study. [Author Abstract]

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:
In 2004, fifteen years after Dr. Shapiro first published on EMDR, the role of eye movements (and other stimulation) in EMDR continues to be a subject of much debate. An overview of what practitioners need to know to understand the research that addresses this issue will be provided. Following this, the research investigating the role of eye movements will be presented and the theories that currently have the most research will be described.
