1. Colelli, G. (2003, September). After the World Trade Center disaster – Use of EMDR recent events protocol. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Denver, CO.

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.

2. Forgash, C. A. (2002, June). EMDR/ego state work in trauma response situations:  Working with survivors of the WTC 9/11 tragedy. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, San Diego, CA.

Language: English

Format: Conference

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.

Language: English

Format: Newsletter

Abstract:
My experience in treating the survivors of the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster of September 11 has, to date, been comprised of three groups: those who witnessed the event from the adjacent streets of the Wall Street financial district; those who were in the World Trade Center, on the lower floors of the North Tower (first tower hit) and were able to escape rather quickly from the building; and those who were on the upper floors (75th to 50th), taking a lengthy time to get down the stairs and then witnessing the most horrific of events inside the WTC plaza and in the street, as the towers collapsed. To date, I have treated 21 survivors.

6. Solomon, R., Mitchell, J., & Hofmann, A. (2002, June). Utilization of EMDR within critical incident stress management. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, San Diego, CA.

Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) involves a continuum of interventions to deal with the emotional aftermath of a critical incident. The goals of these interventions are to mitigate the impact of the event and promote recovery. EMDR can be integrated within a CISM framework. This workshop will discuss the components of CISM, utilization of EMDR, assessment issues, indications and contraindications of EMDR. Data illustrating the efficacy of EMDR within a CISM framework will be presented. Utilization of EMDR following the attack of the WTC will also be discussed.
