Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
"When I started teaching EMDR in 1990, I dubbed it experimental because I didn't want therapists using it without training and then hurting their patients," Shapiro said in a telephone interview. "But there's been eight years of research that shows that it effectively treats post-traumatic stress disorder better than anything out there."

3. van Rood,Y., & de Roos, C. (2010, June). EMDR in the treatment of body dysmorphic disorder. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Hamburg, Germany.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is defined in the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual IV-TR (DSM-IV-TR) as a disorder characterised by a preoccupation with an imagined defect
in one's appearance (American Psychiatric Association (APA),
1994). BDD can be treated effectively with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRls) or cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT)
(Williams et al.. 2006). CBT interventions which are most often
described in the literature are exposure and response prevention
(ERP) and cognitive techniques. These interventions successfully
weaken the catastrophic expectations of the patients.
However, they do not affect the negative valence of patients'
appearance. This negative meaning is not inborn but acquired
during life through association with distressful or even traumatic
events. Patients with BDD often report stressful events as the
starting point of their complaints (Buhlmann et al., 2007) as
well as PTSS like symptoms. i.e. intrusions (Osman et al.. 2004).
Processing of these unprocessed memories might free the way
to the development of a more positive meaning of their appearance.
Indeed, case series have been described in which EMDR
has been successfully applied in the treatment of BDD (Brown
et al , 1997). In the first part of this workshop background information
will be presented which might help identifying BDD
patients who might profit from EMDR and planning subsequent
EMDR treatment. In the second part of the workshop we share
our experiences treating BDD patients with EMDR. Clinical issues
will be analysed using videotaped cases of patients for illustration.
The goal of this workshop is to increase knowledge and
understanding of the use of EMDR in the treatment for BDD.

Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
Now proponents of a controversial and increasingly popular treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, are offering free therapy sessions to the latest group of traumatized Americans: survivors of the Sept. 11 attacks at the Pentagon and World Trade Center, relatives of those who were killed and workers involved in the ghastly rescue and recovery efforts.

Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
Eric Smith remembers the
crack of gunfire clearly now,
how the fusillade startled
him from light sleep sometime
after midnight. This
was Vietnam, north of Saigon,
1968. Dug in following heavy fighting,
his squad had orders to guard
a prisoner until morning. They had
lost a lot of men. They were angry.
Some pretended to fall asleep
knowing the prisoner would try to
escape.

Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
The article was clearly written to denigrate this effective and efficacious treatment. Conveniently, the article failed to mention the plethora of research supporting the use of EMDR as a valid, helpful treatment not only for post-traumatic stress disorder but other psychiatric problems as well.

Abstract:
The Post did an especially untimely disservice in ridiculing EMDR ["EMDR, In the Eye of the Storm," Oct. 30]. For survivors in need of serious and sensitive mental health care, EMDR adds a valuable dimension to the recovery process.

8. Balenger, V. (2001, November 2). Interactions. Washington, DC: Washington Post, Health, F02.
Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
With its misplaced emphasis on the supposed controversy around Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, "EMDR, In the Eye of the Storm" [Oct. 30] seemed intent on derailing the EMDR's Disaster Response Network's generous offer to provide free treatment to survivors of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The article's biases and distortions are too numerous to cite, but the headline describing EMDR as an "aggressively marketed but unproven therapy" captures them pretty well.

9. Balenger, V. (2004, July 6). Interactions. Washington DC: Washington Post, Health, F02.
Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has been documented as one of the most effective treatments for post-traumatic stress by numerous well-designed empirical studies. Describing it in the same paragraph as the rebirthing/attachment therapy that caused the smothering death of a 10-year-old girl betrays a glaring lack of knowledge and familiarity with today's mental health landscape.

Language: English
Format: Newspaper
Abstract:
"Can Trauma Be Relieved By the Wave of a Hand" {Cover Story, April 21} was a disappointment in that it failed to inform the reader about many important developments taking place not only related to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy but in the neurosciences in general. Many leading traumatologists are using EMDR and endorse it as an important part of the multi-modal treatment of complex traumatic stress disorders.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
"Using EMDR in Complex PTSD and Adult Attachment Disorders" was presented as a part of a symposium organized by Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D with additional papers by Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., Friedhelm Lamprecht, MD and Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D., at the 1999 American Psychiatric Association (May 19) in Washington, DC.
This talk frames the use of Resource Development and Installation in the larger historical context of ego strengthening and briefly reviews theoretical and neurobiological correlates hypothesized to be involved in the application of RDI. The case material presented is similar to that presented in 1997 and 1998 EMDRIA presentations.
