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.

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: 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.

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]

6. 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: Conference
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.

9. Hurley, E. C., & Colelli, G. (2006, September). Post-Katrina disaster response: EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP) volunteers discuss post-Katrina recovery work and its comparison with the 9/11 New York City response. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Philadelphia, PA.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This presentation provides a collective body of
knowledge helpful for EMDR clinicians in
understanding disaster response at sites both in
post-Katrina operations in Louisiana and 911 operations in New York City. The presentation will
include information learned by EMDR
Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP)
volunteers in establishing an on-site network for trauma recovery clinicians serving in Louisiana.
Lessons learned include establishing initial onsite networks, noting key contact persons, and
networking with local agencies in providing
EMDR services. EMDR Consultation and the
importance of daily debriefings of the clinical
work will be discussed. Differences in protocols
such as EMD, Recent Events Protocol, and
EMDR, as they relate to the timing of the trauma
will be outlined. The importance of practicing
healthy self-care and avoiding burnout will be
noted. A summation will include the similarities
and differences between the EMDR community-based
intervention project in New York City with
responders and civilian following 9/11 and the
post-Katrina HAP project with first responders in
Louisiana.

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.

Language: English
Format: Journal
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.

Abstract:
On September 11, 2001, when two hijacked planes destroyed the World Trade Center, the world changed. As a clinical psychologist practicing in Manhattan, and specializing in trauma, the author has found the event's impact upon her work to be profound. For most of her patients, in particular the severely dissociative, this event triggered the deepest feelings of vulnerability, fear and rage. She describes the varied trauma responses of her patients, effective interventions, and her own experiences as a psychologist and a New Yorker both on and since September 11. [Author Abstract]

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:
The events of September 11 continue to have a profound impact on us as a nation and as individuals. The pain and suffering of those victims who survived, the families and friends who lost loved ones, and the rescue workers who have had to rpeatedly face the horror of those events has been numerous. Yet, they are not the only ones who have suffered. Many in this country and around the world have been, and continue to be, traumatized by what happened even if they were not directly affected.
