Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
A contested divorce in an eastern cultural context qualifies to be classified as a traumatic event. Those experiencing this
ongoing trauma often undergo PTSD and Depression. EMDR with its standard and current events protocol serves to mitigate
both the anxiety and depressive symptoms significantly. This study looks at adapting EMDR for divorcing families in court,
clinical and private settings.
Participants will learn
1. Differences in cognition of marriage in different cultures such as western, Eastern and Middle Eastern and potential
problems, which are culture specific.
2. What constitutes marital trauma and traumatic divorce in the Eastern context
3. The impact of marital trauma in terms of clinical presentation as well as non clinical parameters of well being such as self-esteem, general health, locus of control and quality of life among those undergoing EMDR.
4. How to use EMDR with those undergoing marital trauma with divorce proceedings and cultural implications.
5. Adaptations in the EMDR to the court environment as well as other setting where such clients may present themselves

Abstract:
Much attention has been devoted to examining whether divorce negatively impacts children's psychological adjustment, or whether divorce is now so prevalent that it can be considered a normative transitional event (Kaslow, 1981). Divorce brings many structural and functional changes. These include the logistic and emotional complications of a nonresidential parent, financial disequilibrium, and two systems with differing rules and expectations. Additionally, there are new subsystem components, such as parental figures, step- and half-siblings, and extended families with a potentially motley cast of new characters and different environments impacting the system. What constitutes "family" for children of divorce is often quite different from what is traditionally viewed as the nuclear family. This chapter discusses divorce effects on childhood adjustment; family systems-based treatment of divorce; adaptive information processing model applied to divorce issues; and the therapy process--integrative family therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Two case examples are presented, followed by a concluding discussion. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

3. Lee, C. (2010, July). A history of the marriage of EMDR practise and research and why we don't divorce. Presentation at the 1st EMDR Asia Conference, Bali, Indonesia.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Since its beginnings, clinical observations of EMDR have influence in scientific investigations which in turn influenced practise.
In this talk I will review the aspects of EMDR practise that so far have received scientific support and discuss the impact that
this has had on the scientific investigation of trauma. This review will identify deficiencies in our knowledge of how EMDR
works and which clients will benefit. The talk will conclude by appealing to clinicians to take seriously the research data to
date, to use it to guide clinical practise, and to use their clinical experiences to further enhance research practise.

Abstract:
Self-help techniques can often do the trick and may make it possible to deal with negative emotions, images and thoughts that arise. For instance, here's one from my book, Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy: Whenever you find yourself bothered by negative self-talk (you know, that voice that tells you how defective you are), notice how your body feels. Then think of a cartoon character with a funny voice like Elmer Fudd, Popeye or Daffy Duck and make your critical inner voice sound like that character. For most people, the disturbing feelings will go away. {Excerpt]

Abstract:
The need to regulate your own responses cannot be overstated. Your anger, depression or anxiety can cause lifelong problems for your children. Remember, just because negative reactions emerge does not make them true or useful. Self-help techniques can help you stay in control. You can find some in my book, Getting Past Your Past: Take Control of Your Life with Self-Help Techniques from EMDR Therapy. For instance, one adult client kept rehashing a fight. Another child client kept seeing his father angrily walk out the door for the last time. You can help yourself and your children get rid of distressing mental pictures by imagining it on top of paint in a can. Then, just stir it up. That disrupts "working memory" and makes it go away. You can also use other techniques to immediately change negative emotions or thoughts. This will empower both you and your children. It will also allow you to be present with your children and show enough happiness so they don't feel like they have to take care of you. No child deserves that burden. [Exceprt]

Abstract:
The trials and tribulations of experiencing a divorce are not easy for anyone who has seen it firsthand. Regardless of how the divorce occurs, it is important to note that there are hurt parties in need of healing. This article suggests a model based on EMDR, hypnosis, and NLP that may be combined with the efforts of mediation, divorce education, and support and counseling groups to reduce the pain and anguish being experienced. It is only when the parent(s) are free from the trauma associated from divorce that they may serve as a positive influence on their children.
