Language: Greek

Abstract:
Πρόκειται για μια καινούργια μέθοδο ψυχο-τραυματο-θεραπείας και όχι
για μια νέα ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση, καθώς η άσκησή της γίνεται
αποκλειστικά από ψυχολόγους με κλινική εμπειρία, στους οποίους
απαραίτητα πρέπει να έχει προηγηθεί βασική εκπαίδευση σε μια από τις
ποικίλες ψυχοθεραπευτικές κατευθύνσεις.
Εμπνεύστρια της μεθόδου είναι η Francine Shapiro το 1989, ανώτερη
επιστημονική ερευνήτρια στο Ινστιτούτο Πάλο Άλτο στην Καλιφόρνια,
συγγραφέας του πρώτου εγχειριδίου για το EMDR, η οποία έχει τιμηθεί για
το έργο της με το βραβείο "Διακεκριμένου επιστημονικού επιτεύγματος
στην ψυχολογία".
This is a new method of psycho-traumatic therapy and not
for a new psychotherapeutic approach, as the exercise becomes
exclusively by psychologists with clinical experience, which
necessarily be preceded basic training in one of the
various psychotherapeutic orientations.
Conceived method is the Francine Shapiro 1989, upper
scientific researcher at the Institute of Palo Alto, California,
author of the first handbook for EMDR, which has been honored for
her work with the award for "Outstanding Scientific Achievement
in psychology. "

Abstract:
Esse processo de “desmanche” vem de traumas do passado. “Algo acontece com a criança e ela cresce com essa desvalorização de si mesma, acreditando em coisas a respeito dela que são falsas”, diz Carla, que trabalha com a terapia denominada Des¬¬sen¬¬sibilização e Reprocessa¬¬mento através de Movimentos Oculares – EMDR, na sigla em inglês. Pode vir da relação com a família, colegas, professores. Casos de bullying, por exemplo, costumam deixar marcas profundas. “Às vezes, a pessoa arranja mecanismos de defesa e consegue driblar. Mas qualquer coisa que acontece pode abalar sua autoconfiança.”
This process of "dismantling" comes from past trauma. "Something happens to the child and it grows with this devaluation of herself, believing things about it that are untrue," said Carla, who works with therapy called Des sen ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ reprocesses raising and training through the Eye Movements - EMDR, its acronym in English. You can see the relationship with family, peers, teachers. Bullying, for example, often leave deep scars. "Sometimes the person arranges defense mechanisms and can dribble. But anything that happens can shake your confidence. " [Excerpt]

Abstract:
Some people sufferinq from post-traumatic stress disorder, such as rape or accident victims, have been helped by eye movement desensitization reprocessinq (EMDR), a technique that involves a trained therapist rapidly movinq his or finqers in front of the patient's eyes. Now, some practitioners are usinq it to enhance performance in fields as varied as sports, business and the arts and to help people overcome psycholoqical hurdles such as stage fright.

psycholoqist in Madison, Wis., treated a woman who wanted to qo on
a horseback-ridinq vacation with her husband but was afraid of horses.
"The woman attained her qoal after one EMDR session," Mahlberq says.
"In fact, they qave her the most challenqinq horse."

Abstract:
By the time that vietnam veteran Jerry Smith (not his real name) found his way to psychologist John Black at the Veterans Administration North Texas Health Care System in Dallas in the fall of 1995, he was an absolute mess. In and out of the V.A. system since 1976 suffering from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), he had tried various medications and sat through hours of conventional therapy to no avail. He was an unemployable shut-in: Driving anywhere or visiting the mall—being in any crowd, in fact—made him anxious. He was tormented by sleep terrors, meaning he would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. And he was so morose that in the previous year he had checked into the V.A. center ten times, five for attempting or considering suicide.
The V.A. first tackled 53-year-old Smith’s drinking problem in the center’s substance-abuse ...

Language: English

Abstract:
Torture is used to create fear, destroy individuals and communities, and to suppress unwanted political or religious views. The survivor of torture often endures significant physical and psychological trauma. The basis for treating this trauma varies according to individual needs, community resources, programme designs, and cultural acceptance. The case presented here focuses on torture occurring during the Bosnian conflict of 1992 and demonstrates how the utilisation of a community-based, multidisciplinary network model can be effective in helping survivors through the recovery process. The unique circumstances of the study identify factors of imprisonment, rape, deprivation, physical violence and, particularly, body mutilation through tattooing. [Author Abstract]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
The treatment with EMDR of a boy with generalized tic disorder is
demonstrated with video material. This boy who had heart surgery at age 4
developed a generalized acute tic disorder at age 11 after an episode of
reanimation as a result of an instrument error that occurred during ECG
monitoring. This incident was not known to the parents, and neither the boy
nor the hospital staff reported on this. Within a few weeks the boy was
completely disabled not able to walk and to speak properly anymore. He
could neither attend school nor participate in leisure amenities with his
friends. After comprehensive diagnostic procedures and unsuccessful
treatment with different types of medication, the tic disorder was diagnosed
as symptomatology of an acute PTSD after traumatic experience of
reanimation with fear of near death.
After EMDR treatment the boy had a complete recovery and could
participate in school and leisure-time activities without any tic symptoms.
The recovery proved to be stable over the follow-up period of one year.

Já Silvia Guz lesionou o tendão do cotovelo na mesma circunstância, quase perdeu os movimentos do braço e sentia dores constantes. Apesar dos tratamentos convencionais, as lembranças e as dores de ambas não desapareciam. Mas, com a técnica terapêutica Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (Dessensibilização e Reprocessamento por meio dos Movimentos Oculares - EMDR), elas conseguiram superar seus traumas num tempo mínimo.
In 1984, Rosana Milk suffered a car accident and broke the tendons of his right hand, and did not drive at night for more than 15 years. Silvia Guz already injured the tendon of the elbow in the same condition, almost lost his arm movements and was in constant pain. Despite conventional treatment, the memories and the pain did not disappear either. But with the therapeutic technique Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (via Desensitization and Reprocessing Eye Movement - EMDR), they managed to overcome their trauma in minimum time.

The idea does seem a bit ridiculous. Tiny green lights on a horizontal bar flashing in sequence, back and forth, back and forth -- guiding the eyes of a patient side to side as he concentrates on a traumatic memory and talks about his feelings and thoughts related to the experience.
The process is called EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing) and it is touted to relieve symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) -- that sometimes take years to treat -- in only a few sessions.

Abstract:
Out of hardship often comes great art. That's the message behind "Every Song I Write Is For You," the album by Dale Watson that hits stores July 24. The hard-core honky-tonker wears his heart on his sleeve -- literally, the sleeve of his CD, which features a picture of Teresa Lynn Herbert, the girlfriend he lost to a car accident Sept. 15. She crashed en route to Houston, where Watson had a gig. He had shut off his cell phone at lunch, and when he turned it back on a couple hours later, the caller ID showed that Herbert had called 13 times. "She had something she really wanted to tell me, but I'll never know what," says Watson, who plays every Monday at Ego's. The singer took the tragedy hard, and on New Year's Eve, he swallowed a handful of pills in a suicide attempt. After being evaluated by a psychiatrist, Watson was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and has been undergoing EMDR treatments. "After about 20 minutes, I'd felt like an 800-pound gorilla had been lifted off my shoulders," Watson says of the hypnosis-like therapy said to rejuvenate sleep-deprived patients. "For four months after Teresa's death, I'd relive it every day, all day. My mind was like a needle stuck in the groove of a record." Watson's next release was supposed to be a live album for Audium/KOCH, but he insisted that this "love song album with no apologies" come out first. "It was an easy album to write, but real hard to record."

What is never mentioned is how many of these people found the workshops instructive and how many go on to use EMDR in their clinical work. I know that I am not alone in having “been trained†in EMDR and yet deciding not to use it. My reason, similar to others’, I am sure, is that I find EMDR to be, at best, old wine in a very expensive new bottle, one that is heavily oversold. Gerald C.

cognitive and behavioral therapeutic methods is examined. Meta-analytic
results support the effectiveness of combined cognitive and behavioral
approaches for anxiety disorders. Pure behavioral therapies also are effective
and appear to work as well as combined treatment for some disorders.
Due to the small number of outcome studies involving pure cognitive
treatments, reliable conclusions about the effectiveness of this approach
cannot be offered. Additional theoretical and practical considerations are
discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 60: 429–441,

The public, as well as many mental health practioners, have been inundated with largely believable, but exceptionally rare, accounts of how patients with these disorders function, (e.g., what they are like in their day to day living and how they are likely to present themselves in treatment). These conditioned descriptions lead inadvertently to unrealistic expectations about how to recognizesignsand symptoms that would lead to an accurate diagnosis of dissociative disorders.

Abstract:
General practitioners have an important role to play in helping patients after exposure to severe psychological trauma. In the immediate aftermath of trauma, GPs should offer "psychological first aid", which includes monitoring of the patient's mental state, providing general emotional support and information, and encouraging the active use of social support networks, and self-care strategies. Drug treatments should be avoided as a preventive intervention after traumatic exposure; they may be used cautiously in cases of extreme distress that persists. Adults with acute stress disorder (ASD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) should be provided with trauma-focused cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) in addition to in-vivo exposure (confronting avoided situations, people or places in a graded and systematic manner) may also be provided for PTSD. Drug treatments should not normally replace trauma-focused psychological therapy as a first-line treatment for adults with PTSD. If medication is considered for treating PTSD in adults, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants are the first choice. Other new generation antidepressants and older tricyclic antidepressants should be considered as second-line pharmacological options. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors may be considered by mental health specialists for use in people with treatment-resistant symptoms.

``I used to think EMDR was strange. I actually thought it was bizarre,'' said Jan Brittain, a Charlotte therapist who's been using it with clients for several years.
Six weeks ago, she also trained to do thought field therapy. At a workshop in Chicago, she volunteered to be a subject, and ``I had a dramatic reduction of the (chronic) pain in my neck and upper back. I was surprised and immediately assumed it must have been the Tylenol I took.'' But the next morning, she still felt better.
``That got my attention, big time. I knew that something powerful had happened,'' Brittain said. ``The proof is in the pudding...So far, I'm a believer.''

In 1987 a 39-year-old, Brooklyn-born, new age seeker was walking in a
park in San Gateo, California. Without warning she was overwhelmed with
disturbing thoughts. They vanished as quickly as they had arrived, and on
analysis she decided that the improvement occurred after she had flicked
her eyes from side to side. She tried the technique on other traumatic
memories and noticed that after the eye movement the memories just
"didn't have the same charge." When she tried the technique with friends,
she noticed that many people were unable to flick their eyes properly, so
she started "conducting" them by moving her fingers back and forth in
front of their eyes at the correct speed. The fingers move about as fast as a
tennis match on fast forward.

What makes EMDR unique is that the therapist also moves index and middle fingers rapidly from left to right in front of the client, who is asked to visually track the movement while imagining the scene. But research shows that the eye movements appear to be completely superfluous, as people who are asked to keep their eyes still while recounting the events improve just as much as those who do the eye-wiggling.

Abstract:
This doctoral dissertation in clinical psychology sought to investigate the potential efficacy of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It consists of two articles. The first article, written in French, presents a recent review of the literature on the efficacy of EMDR in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Having focused on recent experimental designs and meta-analyses, this review indicates that (1) EMDR's efficacy is superior to the absence of treatment or than non-specific treatments; (2) EMDR and cognitive-behavioral approaches are equally efficacious in treating PTSD; and (3) that the effects of EMDR are maintained over time. A brief discussion on the possible distinctions between EMDR and exposure therapies is presented, as well as hypotheses concerning the possible role of eye movements.
The second article constituting this doctoral dissertation focuses on and presents the results following this initial investigation of EMDR's potential efficacy in treating GAD. A single-case design with multiple baselines across participants was used for this research. It sought to investigate to effects of 15 EMDR sessions for four participants. Results indicate that by targeting past experiential contributors, current and future triggers of excessive worry with EMDR, there was a statistically significant decrease in levels of excessive worry and its accompanying anxiety, as indicated by Time-series analyses. As well, various self-report and clinician administered measures show that at both post-treatment and at follow-up all four participants no longer presented a diagnosis of GAD.

This preliminary study sought to evaluate the potential effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as a treatment modality for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Using a singlecase design with multiple baselines across four subjects, the effectiveness of 15 EMDR sessions was
evaluated. Results indicate that subsequent to targeting the experiential contributors to GAD and the current and anticipated situations that caused excessive worry, the scores of anxiety and of excessive worry dropped to levels below diagnostic threshold and in two cases to full remission of GAD symptoms. At both posttreatment and at 2 months follow-up, all four participants no longer presented with GAD diagnosis. In addition, time-series analyses (ARMA) indicate statistically significant improvement on both
daily measures of worry and anxiety over the course of the EMDR treatment. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
On April 19, 1995 in Oklahoma city at 9.02 am, a car bomb exploded at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. At that moment Linda was dressing in her living room a block away and the blast made her unconscious. Getting back her consciousness after a few minutes, Linda was able to come out of the bomb blast-affected building with difficulty. She was numb with terror. She received hundreds of tiny cuts; yet a doctor certified that she was okay. But actually she was not. She could not function independently. She forgot to perform her simple but essential daily chores. She started to lose four pounds a week in weight. Screaming, crying, scaring became the daily routine during her sleep. She even forgot how to work. Two months later her boss took her to a mental health clinic and the doctor there wanted to admit her to the hospital. She opposed the idea as she was brought up in an orphanage and she strongly disliked such institutions. The doctor then advised them to go to the EMDR free clinic. Linda was brought to the clinic and there a miracle happened. After her first EMDR treatment, Linda's nightmare came to a stop. During the second week she was able to return to her work, and after the third session she was back to her normal life. A year later Linda described her first experience of EMDR as "the weirdest thing I had ever experienced with the exception of the bomb."

The person thinks that memory and determines the image that accompanies that thought. Maybe the heart feels tight or sore in different parts of the body. This is processed through the movement of the eyes, seeking a balance between the right and left, which is thought so that you can release those emotions.''

But presentations at the recent American Psychiatric Association convention show that what started as a fringe therapy just a few years ago is being taken seriously by mainstream psychiatrists.

Abstract:
I recently received EMDR training to add to my skill set of interventions to offer clients. What is EMDR, you might ask? It is the acronym for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. This treatment was developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro to help those with trauma related disorders such as, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), whose natural ability to process traumatic experiences was compromised. The hypothesis is that EMDR bilateral stimulation (eye movements, audio beeps, tactile pulses) replicates REM sleep, which is presumed to assist the brain in processing the information it received during the day. The idea being that the eye movements, or other forms of bilateral stimulation, add to the therapy’s effectiveness by evoking neurological and physiological changes to aid in the reprocessing of the traumatic memories.

Terwijl de patiënt zich concentreert op de oogbewegingen (of andere bilaterale stimuli, zoals klopjes op de knieën of geluidssignalen), functioneert de therapeut als een soort gids die de patiënt terugleidt naar de herinnering aan de traumatische ervaring, waardoor de patiënt geholpen wordt bij het opnieuw ordenen en uiteindelijk opnieuw verwerken van negatieve gedachten en emoties.

Abstract:
I conducted my doctoral dissertation on my use of EMDR with 56 individuals, finding it working more quickly and effectively than other interventions. The EMDR process asks the individual not only to focus on the trauma, but also on their bodily reactions and the beliefs that they hold about what happened. People do not necessarily report to the therapist an in-detail recounting of the historic event, but often gain new insights about themselves and their situations that had not occurred to them in any previous self-reflection. Positive-emission topography (PET) scans on the brains of people recalling their traumas and those undergoing EMDR show different parts of the brain lighting up, and post-treatment, the areas of the brain that are activated are more balanced in both hemispheres than before.

Abstract:
Sometimes the EMDR work can
bring unexpected delights. I was
working with a client whom I had
been seeing for close to a year for
general anxiety and procrastination.
We were in the middle of a session,
involved with constructing a cognitive
weave regarding a projected behavior.
The positive cognition was,
"Taking even a small step is good for
me." Following the set of eye movements,
the client in his customary
"deadpan" fashion said five (VoC =
5). I asked the client to repeat the
sentence to himself again and proceeded
with another set of eye movements.
This time he responded, in
the same deadpan fashion, five and
one-eighth. He saw the puzzlement
on my face as I began to comment
about what fine gradations of truth
he was able to evaluate. Without
cracking even the hint of a smile, he
looked directly at me and said, "Taking
even a small step is good for me."

Iris explained that, in cognitive therapy, this was called memory "processing", and the particular method she used had a rather scientific-sounding name - EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. But it was actually quite simple. It wasn't about revisiting childhood fears; it didn't even do what was expected in some trauma treatment, which was to relive an event through "imaginal exposure". With EMDR, you had only to think about your particular symptoms, and the events or beliefs that went with them. This was called "dual awareness" - thinking about the past and present at the same time. And there was an easy trick involved. Iris would tap Mai's knees while she let her reactions sink in, or move a finger back and forward across her eyes.

Abstract:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method of psychotherapy developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro as a treatment for psychological distress associated with trauma, when she chanced to notice a connection between a decrease in her own emotional distress over a personal concern after having spontaneously moved her eyes back and forth. Integrating her eye movement (em) observation with aspects of, at least, imaginal exposure, cognitive therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness teachings, and adding an early positive psychology idea, Shapiro developed a treatment, which she informally tested. Shapiro (1989a) first systematically tested her work in a wait list control study of 21 subjects recruited from local mental health centers, including a DVA veteran readjustment center. Remarkably, all of her first 21 subjects showed profound single session desensitization effects. In addition, Shapiro (1989b) published a case study in a journal edited by Joseph Wolpe, an originator of behavior therapy, in which Wolpe, in an editorial footnote, endorsed Shapiro’s rapid effects from his own informal replication.

Abstract:
This article focuses on an interesting experience in working with Albanian Kosovar refugees last year in a refugee camp in Hemer, Germany. The authors, though highly trained and proficient traumatologists, worked with a large number of clients for a brief amount of time who had to rely on poorly trained interpreters who were themselves refugees in need of traumatology services (and eventually received it). They describe how Western educated practitioners were forced to adopt their methods of treatment ("standard EMDR model") to fit the requirements of the context. Among other things, they had to represent their work as educational ("information focus groups") and not "treatment" (due to the stigma), skip the time-consuming activities of assessment and rapport building, and accepted the direction of the camp psychologists as to who should or should not receive assistance. The bulk of their report focuses on the their information focus: the focus group content. They most often utilized a solution-focused approach (using eye movements to reinforce positive self-referencing statements) when working with individuals, although EMDR was used successfully with the few who requested it. The latter portion of the report includes three case studies. The authors concluded what worked best is a combination of group and individual work that relied on psychoeducation, accessing positive as well as negative material, and not initially focusing on the trauma. This information should be useful to any practitioner who must overcome similar challenges. [Adapted from Introduction] [Pilots]

Abstract:
A few years ago, my friend Ally, who had a somewhat unwarranted confidence in my knowledge of Things Psychological, asked if I knew anything about EMDR; she had suffered some severe childhood trauma, and was thinking of trying it. "EMDR?" I asked, "Is that a new street drug?" I guess that showed her what I knew. She explained that her therapist had suggested this relatively new technique, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, that had been shown to ease symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in soldiers and rape victims. From what she understood, the therapist would help her to focus on her devastating memories of childhood abuse while directing her eyes to twitch rapidly from side to side. This, according to her shrink, would help her to better "process" her memories. "Sounds like hypnotism," I expertly analyzed. "Who knows, maybe it will work." More recently, when I wrote here about the neurobiological advantages of emotionally "finding a safe place," several readers also wrote in to ask me about EMDR. Now I understand why people want an expert opinion (and I'm no expert, by the way): a heap of controversy surrounds this popular technique.

Abstract:
When I initially heard of EMDR, I was
totally uninterested. I was happy with
my repertoire of skills and simply could
not be bothered. However, the reports
of colleagues who had the training
were so exceptional I thought it was
time to have a look. I still was not
prepared to waste my precious hours
on a training, and my way around this
was to experience EMDR myself. I
had genuine difficulties isolating a
problem since I was at a particularly
fulfilling stage of my life; however, I
finally settled on a minor irritation
that I was having with one of my
clients. That session, plus two others,
moved me very rapidly to a decision to
move into private practice, to implementing
that decision, and to currently
experiencing a life of ease, gentle pacing,
and tranquility that I had no previous vision
of being possible. In fact,
there has been a total life style
transformation. I now work only three

Since EMDR was introduced to the psychiatric community 15 years ago, it has remained highly controversial. Proponents call it a painless, quick, effective therapy to treat victims of trauma - from social anxiety to war, rape and natural disasters.

Abstract:
The concept of treating the whole family spread into the medical field in the late 1960s, when William Doherty, a family therapist, and Macaran Baird, a family physician, developed a model for integrating family therapy practices with family medical care. They explained that their model grew out of a frustration with the "fragmented, individually oriented treatment of children's psychiatric disturbances" and stated that they created family therapy medicine as a response to this problem (Doherty & Baird, 1983, p. 1). This chapter discusses the work of medical doctors who apply the principles of psychosocial medicine and the work of psychotherapists who practice medical family therapy. Integration of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and family therapy is discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

In Eye Movement Therapy Offers Hope For Trauma Victims (March 13), Sheldon Walker mentions his enthusiasm for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). According to him, "positive results can often be achieved very quickly with this method." A recent appraisal of EMDR published in Clinical Psychology Review noted that EMDR's enormous popularity as a treatment for anxiety disorders appears to have greatly out-stripped the research evidence adduced for its efficacy. This raises disturbing questions concerning EMDR's aggressive commercial promotion, its rapid acceptance among practitioners, and its pseudoscientific nature. Caveat emptor.

"We're combining it with art therapy to help them release traumas without actually having to talk about the trauma.

A therapy developed in 1987 by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro is helping patients diminish and remove the effects of those disturbing memories.The therapy is called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Trained therapists use it by alternating stimulation between the two hemispheres of the brain while the patient focuses on the trauma."It's a fairly complicated therapy," said licensed counselor Roger Ludwig. "I go through a series of steps with my patients. "Those steps include getting to know the patient and understanding what triggers the anxiety.The patient also must isolate a mental snapshot to represent the event, a feeling about the event and thoughts about the event, such as "He's going to kill me."The doctor then runs the patient through a sequence of bilateral stimuli.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This study describes the use of eye movement desensitization
and reprocessing in clients suffering from posttraumatic
stress symptoms after recent traumatic experience.
Between November 2003 and July 2009, 45 clients of a general
medicine practise with stress reactions and inability to work after
a recent traumatic event were treated with EMDR.
The number of active EMDR sessions varied from 1 to 5 sessions.
After this short time of active treatment, everyone of these clients
was free of symptoms and able to take up work again. After
a three months period, those clients were reinvestigated. Up to
this time, none of them had suffered from symptoms of distress
or accumulation of trauma memories or inability to go to work.
The study shows an interesting aspect in EMDR treatment:
general practitioners are the first to be consulted by clients with
recent trauma.
EMDR is shown to be very effective in treatment of stress symptoms
after recent trauma.
Consequently, an early intervention with EMDR reduces stress
symptoms and the period of inability. This is to promote interest
and awareness specially among general practitioners with
psychotherapy training.

Abstract:
The study excellently describes results treating patients with PTSD after recent traumatic experiences. 200 patients with various stress reactions after recent traumatic stress like sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, somatic symptoms, conflicts in partnership and inability to work but no prior psychiatric disease in anamnesis were treated with EMDR. The number of active EMDR sessions needed to restore quality of life and capability of working varied from one to five active sessions. A three and six-month follow-up showed stable findings.
The study shows, that there is a great number of PTSD patients in general practice. Besides typical flashbacks, these patients show an enormous bandwidth of somatic and psychosomatic symptoms. General practitioners have an important position in making the correct diagnosis and EMDR is shown to be an effective, time saving and economic technique treating PTSD after recent trauma.

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence recently recommended a controversial form of trauma therapy called Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for the treatment of post traumatic stress. In EMDR an individual is asked to create and hold in their mind a picture of the worst moment during the disaster, while following the movement of their clinical psychologist's fingers with their eyes. The psychologist instructs the patients to “let the image go freely where it wants to”. Some proponents believe this process has the power to unlock traumatic memories. Others are sceptical, among them psychologist Dr James Ost, an advisor to the British False Memory Society

Abstract:
Ningún Método aplicado por la medicina tradicional ha podido terminar con esta clase de sufrimiento. Hoy, gracias a la novedosa técnica EMDR (Movimientos Oculares de Desensibilización y Reprocesamiento), nos encontramos ante un nuevo paradigma terapéutico: la posibilidad real de terminar con el dolor.
Los recuerdos traumáticos se aíslan en el cerebro como resultado de los neuroquímicos producidos por el cuerto en el momento del trauma, que se almacenan sin asimilar durante años. El trabajo que se realiza a través del movimiento de los ojos desbloquea estos recuerdos reconectando las redes neuronales, antes aisladas del resto del cerebro, logrando así eliminar la sensación de dolor que el recuerdo genera en el paciente.
Las técnicas EMDR y T.I.C. (Técnicas de Integración Cerebral) se han utilizado con enorme éxito en personas que sufrieron graves traumas: asaltos, abusos sexuales, así como en soldados con secuelas de guerra (Guerra de los Balcanes en Sarajevo, Bosnia), en víctimas de ataques con bombas (Oklahoma, EE.UU), en pacientes con ataques de pánico y fobias. Es tratamiento de soldados con estrés de combate, víctimas de inundaciones y huracanes y en los sobrevivientes al ataque a las Torres Gemelas en Nueva York, EE.UU., en 2001.
La Lic. Marta Peña nos acerca en esta obra las bases y aplicaciones de las técnicas con ejemplos de exitosos casos clínicos reales.
No method used by traditional medicine has failed to finish with this kind of suffering. Today, thanks to the new technique EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), we face a new treatment paradigm: a real chance to end the pain.
Isolated traumatic memories in the brain as a result of neurochemicals produced by the cuerto at the time of trauma, which are stored for years without assimilating. The work done through eye movement unlock these memories reconnecting the neural network, previously isolated from the rest of the brain, thus eliminating the sensation of pain that the memories generated by the patient.
EMDR techniques and T.I.C. (Cerebral Integration Techniques) have been used with great success in people who suffered severe trauma: assaults, sexual abuse, as well as soldiers with sequelae of war (War in the Balkans in Sarajevo, Bosnia), victims of bombings ( Oklahoma, USA) in patients with panic attacks and phobias. It's treatment of soldiers with combat stress, flood and hurricane victims and survivors of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, USA, in 2001.

In 1987, a new technology called Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) was in the early stages of development. An internationally respected PTSD expert, psychologist Charles Figley, director of the Institute of Traumatology at Florida State University, did a formal research project on EMDR in 1993. Additionally, Figley also researched Thought Field Therapy (TFT – the grandfather of EFT), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) and Visual Kinesthetic Dissociation (VKD) at the same time. Figley and an associate conducted the research because Figley deeply understood that the conventional therapies were not suitable for treating PTSD. That research proved both EMDR and TFT as effective treatments for PTSD both achieving over 50% reduction in symptoms. Although the DOD has officially approved EMDR for PTSD treatment (http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?), many VA centers do not allow its use.
In the interim, psychiatrist and PTSD expert Bessel van der Kolk, presently the Medical Director at the Trauma Center in Massachusetts, (http://www.traumacenter.org/) began groundbreaking researching on PTSD. Dr. van der Kolk is trained in both EMDR and TFT/EFT and now endorses the use of Energy Psychology methods like EFT to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD in a very gentle, quick, safe and easy manner.

Abstract:
EMDR is a treatment modality for use with adults who have been abused as children, which is purported to help them clear their trauma more rapidly and to lead full, productive lives. In using EMDR treatment, a patient is asked to hold in mind an image of the trauma, a negative self-cognition, negative emotions and related physical sensations about the trauma. While doing so, the client is instructed to move their eyes quickly and laterally back and forth for about 15-20 seconds, following the therapist's fingers or some other stimulation device. The patient then reports the images, cognitions, emotions and physical sensations that emerge. This procedure continues until "desensitization" of the troubling material is complete and positive self-cognitions have replaced the previous negative self-cognition.

Abstract:

This excerpt focuses on identifying the appropriate target memory and its related negative cognition (NC) in preparation for desensitization. Clients and therapists need to understand the rationale for selecting a particular target utilizing prioritization and clustering techniques. The importance of the belief system is discussed and methods of identifying the initial targets are offered, including the floatback technique. Many practitioners experience difficulty in getting the right NC, and methods for drawing this out are illustrated. Final preparations prior to desensitization are considered as well as the importance of addressing client anxieties and expectations. Throughout the excerpt, case vignettes are used to outline cautions and common pitfalls encountered by the novice EMDR therapist.

About 10 years ago, word of a curious new therapy began trickling into psychologists' offices. Proponents claimed that the therapy could relieve anxiety, phobias, and frightening flashbacks related to past hurts - and in a matter of weeks or months instead of years.
Now, the trickle has become a torrent. The treatment, called eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, is the hottest new therapy in years, and therapists of many schools are rushing to learn to do it. EMDR was first used with patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, but it's now being offered for problems ranging from panic attacks to the effects of depression, addiction, and low self-esteem.

Abstract:
That’s where EMDR therapy can help. While EMDR cannot remove a problem caused by genetics or organic injury, the research indicates that even in these cases negative life experiences can exacerbate problems. When a person is held back from doing things he or she would like to do by feelings of insecurity, anxiety, fear, or unremitting sadness, or is pushed into doing things that are not useful — such as overreacting to people or situations — the reason can generally be found in the memory networks. Many times the problems are unprocessed memories from the past that are poisoning the present.

Abstract:
Over the past two decades, the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has provided researchers and clinicians with the ability to observe how symptoms develop and can be rapidly treated. Over 20 randomized studies have demonstrated positive treatment effects, and EMDR has been declared an effective trauma treatment by organizations worldwide, including the American Psychiatric Association and the Department of Defense. Three randomized studies have demonstrated that 84 to 100 percent of those suffering from a single trauma no longer had posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after an average of three 90-minute sessions. Changes that typically took months or years with other forms of therapy occurred within weeks. This rapidity allows both clients and clinicians to observe firsthand how the brain’s internal connections are made. [Excerpt]

Abstract:
Tout le monde connaît désormais la thérapie introduite en France par David Servan-Schreiber dans son livre Guérir. Cette nouvelle thérapie appelée EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) consiste pour l'essentiel à refaire vivre au patient victime d'un événement traumatique la scène terrible qui est à l'origine
de sa souffrance, en lui faisant faire des mouvements oculaires provoquant une diminution progressive du stress. Les résultats sont incontestables, mais la raison des progrès enregistrés reste énigmatique. Peut-être s'agit-il d'une reconstruction ce la mémoire profonde du même ordre que celle qui se produit dans le sommeil
paradoxal (où le dormeur connaît des mouvements
oculaires analogues). Cette thérapie a été fondée par Francine Shapiro, du célèbre institut de Palo Alto. Ce livre fondateur raconte l'origine de sa découverte, donne des interprétations scientifiques possibles et surtout décrit de nombreux cas exemplaires où cette thérapie s'est révélée efficace.
Il est de ce fait très poignant. On y rencontre une femme ayant perdu son fils de huit ans dans un accident de train et accablée par l'image terrifiante du corps disloqué de l'enfant, des anciens combattants du Vietnam hantés par les images terribles de la guerre, des victimes de viol... Et surtout on y voit comment ces personnes,
emprisonnées dans leur souffrance, ont pu s'en affranchir et retrouver un équilibre psychologique.
Everyone now knows the therapy introduced in France by David Servan-Schreiber in his book Healing. This new therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizer & Reprocessing) is essentially to re live the patient suffered a traumatic event the terrible scene which is at the origin
In his pain, making him make eye movements causing a gradual decrease of stress. The results are undeniable, but the reason of progress remains enigmatic. Perhaps it is a reconstruction of the deep memory similar to that which occurs in sleep
REM (where the sleeper knows movements
eye like). The therapy was founded by Francine Shapiro, the renowned institute Palo Alto. This seminal book describes the origin of his discovery, provides interpretations possible scientific and especially describes many exemplary cases where this therapy has proven effective.
It is therefore very poignant. We meet a woman who lost her eight year old son in a train accident and overwhelmed by the terrifying image of the broken body of the child, the Vietnam veterans haunted by the terrible images of war, victims of rape ... And especially we see how these people
trapped in their suffering, have overcome them and regain a psychological equilibrium.

Abstract:
The treatment I use is EMDR, a technique developed by California psychologist Francine Shapiro that has shown to be successful treating post-traumatic stress. The technique is designed to process traumatic memory by mimicking the way people generally process thoughts into memory, during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase of sleep. You can put patients into rapid-eye movement in several ways, including having them move their eyes back and forth as if following the ball in a tennis match, or tapping their hands. They concentrate on the troubling images in
their mind or repeat `I feel horror,' for example, and the brain can then begin to process it. I work with children with nightmares or fears and they usually go away fast. Even if you don't understand it, EMDR can still work.

Abstract:
The quest to solve this riddle of her early life is one that Scarf explores through some cutting-edge mind/body therapies that have been successful in pinpointing and alleviating painful memories. Two of these are the EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, and the PBSP (Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor) approach. EMDR was the accidental finding that emotional distress could be alleviated by rapid back and forth eye movements, a kind of rhythmical "eye-tracking" that tapped into some neuro-physiological place within the body that actually relieved pschological pain. PBSP was the group dynamic that involved support through role playing and acting out a trauma.

Therapists say clients with a single tramuatic event may need only one to three 90-minute sessions.
Those with chronic post-traumatic stress disorder -- women molested for years as children or Vietnam veterans -- can require many more sessions as well as other kinds of assistance to treat what EMDR creator Francine Shapiro calls ``secondary gain.'' These are the benefits that reinforce the trauma, such as the disability checks a Vietnam veteran receives or the attention and nurturing a molestation victim gets.

Abstract: The alternative therapy addressed in this article is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) developed by Francine Shapiro, Ph.D. in 1987. One day, while walking in a park, Dr. Shapiro made a connection between her involuntary eye movements and the reduction of her negative thoughts. She decided to explore this link and began to study eye movements in relation to the symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is an anxiety disorder that is characterized by the development of symptoms after exposure to a traumatic event. Symptoms can include re-experiencing the event - either in flashbacks or nightmares - avoidance of reminders of the event, feeling jumpy, having difficulty sleeping, having an exaggerated startle response, and experiencing feelings of detachment.

Abstract:
EMDR is a controversial but widely used method for treating PTSD and other psychiatric conditions. Controversy surrounding EMDR stems from two main sources. FIrst, it lacks convincing scientific rationale. The main intervention in EMDR requires the patient to recall trauma-related memories while also attending to some form of external oscillatory stimulation. This stimulation is typically induced by the therapist moving a finger from side to side, across the patient's field of vision, inducing eye movements. After each set of eye movements, the patient is asked to natice what memories, images, thoughts, or feelings arise, and then more sets of eye movements are induced until distress is reduced.

The EMDR technique is intriguing. Turino explained that once a counselor and client have
developed a comfortable rapport, the client focuses on a disturbing aspect of the traumatic
incident. The counselor and client talk briefly about the negative beliefs, feelings, and physical
sensations associated with the disturbing experience. During the session, using a board that
shows lights blinking alternately on the left and the right, the patient's eyes follow the flashing
lights back and forth. Turino says that dramatic reduction in traumatic memories can usually be
achieved in three to twelve sessions. For some patients, using alternating sounds or tapping can
produce the same results as back and forth eye movements.

The moving finger may
have written one of the most
important sport storles of the
age in the past fortnight.
The finger of Sydney psychiatrist
Dr. Bob Hampshire
was waved daily in the eyes of
Brett Dutton, Jeff Stewart,
Jamie Kelly, David Perry, and
Mark Elliott of the Ansett
Australia team during the
Pacific Power-Commonwealth
Bank Cycle Classic.
And if Hampshire is right, a
painless technique called
EMD (Eye Movement Desensitisation)
may have opened
up a golden avenue in the
brain for improved sporting
performance.

Abstract:
I knew about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy from one of my best friends, Lily Burana. I had watched it do wonders for her and her combat-veteran husband, and I'd read her enthusiastic account of the experience in her memoir "I Love a Man in Uniform." As she explains, "In the course of a year, I got married, my husband went to war, we moved to a new post and my father died. To say everything hit the fan was an understatement. I'd been sitting in the therapist's chair for a year and not getting better; I was just getting better at telling my story. With EMDR, it started to work right away."

A therapy meant to muscle man over traumatic memories is gaining popularity and regard in the world of psychology. EMDR, or eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing, taps into the brain's storage bin of bad experiences, and using a combination of bilateral eye movement and talk therapy, alters how one processes a traumatic event.

After a matter of weeks, EMDR began to have an effect, and he was able to share the traumas he had kept locked away for years and return home to Karen and his work.
But a posting to Northern Ireland saw him suffer a setback. So the Army paid for him to continue the EMDR therapy at a nearby private clinic. [Excerpt]

A book from my childhood about Medal of Honor winners has a chapter about him: "Too Young to Fight."

Then he become one of World War II's most highly decorated warriors. From there, Second Lt. Audie Murphy graduated to the rank of movie star and, away from the set lights, to basket case.
