Abstract:
“Just wanted to share something with you all. It is more than rewarding to see the wonderful things
people do for each other here. I wrote this short story the other day, as a way to honor these young
people who have sacrifi ced all. These are your incredibly brave young men and women, out doing
patrols and convoys at extreme risk of death. It is also amazing to see the wonderful work the medical
staff does here. I am so very thankful that we can provide this kind of medical care for our troops.
Surely God works through their hands!”

2. Rana, M. (2010, July). Dealing with psychotrauma in war against terror: East meets West through EMDR. Symposium (Samin Karim, Chair) conducted at the 1st EMDR Asia Conference, Bali, Indonesia.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The ‘War on Terror’ on the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan has committed almost two hundred thousand troops on
either side with more than five million civilians directly affected by terrorist acts, bombings, blasts, drone attacks, and air
strife. Children, women, and men of all ages report to health facilities in hundreds with psycho trauma ranging from acute
stress reactions, posttraumatic stress disorders, dissociation, depression, anxiety and Medically Unexplained Symptoms
(MUS). The health professionals with hardly any training in handling of psycho trauma are clueless about how to deal with
these cases.
A handful of mental health professionals trained by EMDR UK and EMDR Europe experts, through a humanitarian assistance
programme are the only trained human resource currently available to deal with these massive numbers of survivors. A
strategic placement of this grossly limited number of trained EMDR human resource ( four females, six males), in the war zone
has helped scores of soldiers to return to the battlefield, hundreds of children to return to their schools, dozens of families to
return to normality and many adults to return to work. The elementary yet devoted and dedicated EMDR services in the war
torn regions of Swat, Wazirastan, Kohat and tertiary care services at Rawalpindi are a result of a timely collaboration between
EMDR trainers from West providing training in EMDR to psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and social workers of Pakistan;
indeed a fine example of ‘Building Bridges between East & West through EMDR’.

4. National Council on Disability (2009, March). Invisible wounds: Serving service members and veterans with PTSD and TBI. Author.
Language: English
Format: Publication
Abstract:
More than 1.6 million American service members have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). As of December 2008, more than 4,000 troops have been killed and over 30,000 have returned from a combat zone with visible wounds and a range of permanent disabilities. In addition, an estimated 25-40 percent have less visible wounds--psychological and neurological injuries associated with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI), which have been dubbed "signature injuries" of the Iraq War. National Council on Disability (NCD) concurs with the recommendations of previous Commissions, Task Forces and national organizations that: (1) A comprehensive continuum of care for mental disorders, including PTSD, and for TBI should be readily accessible by all service members and veterans. This requires adequate staffing and adequate funding of Veterans Administration (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) health systems; (2) Mechanisms for screening service members for PTSD and TBI should be continuously improved to include baseline testing for all Service Members pre-deployment and follow up testing for individuals that are placed in situations where head trauma may occur; and (3) The current array of mental health and substance abuse services covered by TRICARE should be expanded and brought in line with other similar health plans. As this report indicates, the medical and scientific knowledge needed to comprehensively address PTSD and TBI is incomplete. However, many evidence-based practices do exist. Unfortunately, service members and veterans face a number of barriers in accessing these practices including stigma; inadequate information; insufficient services to support families; limited access to available services, and a shortage of services in some areas. Many studies and commissions have presented detailed recommendations to address these needs. There is an urgent need to implement these recommendations. (Contains 4 exhibits.)

Abstract:
Comments on Does EMDR reduce post-traumatic stress disorder symptomatology in combat veterans? by David L. Albright and Bruce Thyer (see record 2010-02408-001). As an Army Chaplain and psychotherapist for 30 years, I have used a variety of psychotherapy modalities to treat soldiers and military families in various combat zones, as well as military installations in the United States. In this capacity I have found eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to be efficacious in the treatment of both trauma and life adjustment issues. In my present position as Director of Soldier Center, Clarksville, TN, I use EMDR on a daily basis to treat soldiers and veterans recovering from combat trauma. Based on my extensive experience in the successful application of EMDR, I am dismayed by the pre-suppositional bias against and potentially serious misrepresentations of EMDR that are evident in the Albright and Thyer article from the authors' very first mention of it. The authors have done a great disservice to clinicians, as well as to veterans, with their paper. In summary, the best way to serve our troops is to urge comparative research between EMDR and the extant cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatments. Our men and women in uniform deserve the best treatment possible. EMDR has amply demonstrated its efficacy with multiple trauma populations and should not be minimized because of subjective biases and misinformation.
