Language: English

Format: Conference

Abstract:
Two case studies from a pilot study concerning treatment of traumatised refugee children suffering from PTSD will be presented. The pilot study includes 13 children aged 7-17, from different countries. Along with the treatment of the children we have seen the parents. The aim of the study was to estimate if the applied methods: polahing, drawing, etc. combined with EMDR, will lead to improvement of the PTSD symptoms. Before and after treatment the children were examined and diagnosed according to DSM-N regarding PTSD symptoms. Changes of PTSD symptoms or other child psychiatric symptoms, the family situation or other relevant facts were checked continuously through interviews with the parents.
