Abstract:
EMDR (Eye Movement Απευαισθητοποίηση και επανεπεξεργασίας - απευαισθητοποίηση οφθαλμοκινητικών και επανεπεξεργασίας) είναι μια νεότερη (ανακαλύφθηκε από τον F. Shapiro το 1989-1991) και ίσως πιο αποτελεσματική θεραπευτική μέθοδος για τη θεραπεία του μετατραυματικού στρες, όπως αποδεικνύεται από πλήθος ερευνών. Σε διεθνές επίπεδο αναγνωρίζεται τόσο από το APA (American Psychological Association), καθώς και η ISTSS (International Society for μετατραυματικού στρες Σπουδών), και ήδη 53.000 θεραπευτές σε όλο τον κόσμο έχουν εκπαιδευτεί στην αίτηση. Μετά από μια παρουσίαση σχετικά με τις αρχές και την θεραπευτική μέθοδο EMDR, θα αναφερθώ εν συντομία σε κάποια έρευνα που αποδεικνύουν την αποτελεσματικότητα. Τέλος, η παρουσίαση της κλινικής εκδήλωσης έχει ως στόχο να δώσουμε μια ιδέα της μεθόδου στην πράξη.
The EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - oculomotor
desensitization and reprocessing) is a newer (discovered by F. Shapiro
in 1989-1991) and perhaps more effective therapeutic method to treat
PTSD, as evidenced by a multitude of investigations. At international level
recognized by both the APA (American Psychological Association), and the ISTSS
(International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies), and already 53,000 therapists throughout
the world have trained in the application.
After a presentation on the principles and therapeutic method
EMDR, we briefly introduce some research demonstrating
effectiveness. Finally, the presentation of a clinical event aims
To give an idea of the method in practice.

Abstract:
This workshop will present an important review of Phase One of EMDR treatment as it fits within the Adaptive Information Processing Model. The
presenter will describe and analyze four strategies for identifying and ordering
targets for EMDR rreatment. Strategies to be covered are I ) Francine Shapiro's standard method; 2) A time line method, 3) A Genogram method proposed by Maureen Kitchur in her Strategic Developmental Model and 4) A hypnotic
method inspired by Milton Erickson's February Man cases. Analysis of the unique strengths and limitations of each approach will be made. Clinical choices will be outlined with respect to the use of each strategy in light of characteristics of the client, the clinician, and the clinical setting itself. Case examples will be
presented. Handouts wlth guidelines for each method will be distributed. Participants will be invited to engage in imaginal exercises to further the exploration of these strategies.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Despite the prevalence of childhood trauma, studies regarding psychotherapy for children suffering from PTSD are scarce, especially regarding the treatment for pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma. Treatment practices for this population rely mainly on the paradigms of therapy for adult PTSD and pediatric PTSD following sexual abuse. This review outlines the studies published in the last 10 years pertaining to the treatment of pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma. This is done in the context of available literature on the paradigms mentioned above. Of 742 articles dealing with treatment of pediatric trauma, 10 were found relevant to the treatment of pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma. The modalities of treatment most frequently reported in this context were cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and play therapy. As a whole, CBT studies were methodologically more rigorous, used manualized, reproducible treatment, and were group, school-based therapies. EMDR treatments were usually short and individual. Most studies showed statistically significant improvement but were still methodologically lacking. We conclude that research on the subject of treatment for pediatric PTSD following single-incident trauma constitutes a neglected part of the study of pediatric PTSD. This stands in contrast to the obvious prevalence of this type of trauma. We encourage future research that will address issues such as clarifying the role of pharmacotherapy, comparing different modes of treatment, dismantling treatment "packages", researching developmentally sensitive treatments, conducting long-term follow-up, and comparing different PTSD populations.

Language: Dutch
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Bij de keuze systeemleden bij de behandeling te betrekken spelen, ook bij behandelaren, cognities een rol mee.
Cognities over de groei-en helingmogelijkheden die het gezin (van oorsprong) biedt en over zijn beperkende of zelfs schadelijke invloed op de ontwikkeling van individuen.
De systeemtherapeut beweegt zich in het -voor anderen soms onoverzichtelijke- moeras van kansen en gevaren voor het individu: zij heeft leren sturen en wijken, neemt risico’s om gedragsverandering te bewerkstelligen, maar stelt veiligheid voorop.
Hoe kan een individueel therapeut op een veilige manier systeemleden betrekken en waartoe kan een systeemtherapeut EMDR inzetten ?
Getraumatiseerd is een individu op zijn kwetsbaarst: Het besluit om systeemleden bij de behandeling te betrekken moet dan ook altijd in het voordeel van de getraumatiseerde cliënt zijn
Wanneer traumatisering heeft plaatsgevonden binnen het gezinssysteem van oorsprong (of wanneer de ouders niet bij machte zijn geweest om op traumatisering ‘van buiten’ adequaat te reageren) ontwikkelt een individu disfunctionele cognities over zichzelf en over zijn kernrelaties, die vaak generaliseren naar de wereld buiten het gezin. Dit is van invloed op o.m. latere partnerrelaties. Het betrekken bij de EMDR-behandeling van een ‘good enough’ partner kan de individuele cliënt helpen deze gegeneraliseerde cognities te vervangen door passender en meer productiever cognities.
In de workshop besteden we aandacht aan de vraag hoe een individueel therapeut op een veilige manier systeemleden kan betrekken bij de EMDR-behandeling en aan de vraag waartoe een systeemtherapeut EMDR kan inzetten.
Een eerste stap in het gebruik maken van de extra kansen die het systeemdenken biedt aan EMDR-therapeuten, is het, hypothetisch, in kaart brengen van de positieve en negatieve systeeminvloeden voor de cliënt middels het maken van het genogram . Dit om de effecten van de EMDR te plaatsen in de relationele leergeschiedenis van het individu.
Een tweede stap is het betrekken van liefdevolle en betrouwbaar geďnvolveerde partners (of vrienden) en het “verzilveren” van de EMDR met de kernrelatie, waarbij op natuurlijke wijze verbeteringen of soms (tijdelijke) moeilijkheden aan bod komen.
Een derde stap is het ineenweven van EMDR en systeemgesprekken, waarbij naast traumaverwerking gezonder verhoudingen het doel zijn en resultaten op beide gebieden elkaar logischerwijs versterken.
In select members for the treatment system involvement, here when medical professionals play a role with Cognitions.
Cognitions about the growth and healing potential of the family (or origin) and limiting or Has Been here Harmful Effects on the Development of Individuals.
The therapist moves the system to others-Sometimes-confuse Morass of opportunities and risks for the Individual: the therapist has learned to steer and districts, taking risks for behavior change, but does put safety first.
How Can an Individual therapist in a safe way to members and involvement System Which Can Deploy a system EMDR therapist?
A traumatized individuality to be vulnerable: The decision to members in the treatment system involvement Should therefore always in favor of the traumatized client
When trauma occurred HAS Within the Family System of Origin (or When parents are Unable to bone traumatization 'outside' appropriate response) initially develop an individuality Dysfunctional Cognitions about himself and his key relationships in loss or That Generalize to the world outside the family. This subsequent component seem ambiguous to partner relationships. The involvement of the EMDR treatment or a 'good enough' partner, an individuality to help client thesis generalized Cognition to replace more and more Productive Appropriate Cognitions.
In the workshop we focus on how an individuality in a safe system therapist members Can Participate in the EMDR treatment and to demand a System Which Can use EMDR therapist.
A first step in making use of the extra opportunities the system offers to think EMDR Therapists, it is, hypothetically, identify the positive and negative Influences on the client system through the creation of the genogram. That the effects of EMDR to place in the relational learning history of the individuality.
A second step is the involvement or permission and secure agreement of the partners (or friends) and "Redeem" the core relationship with EMDR, which Sometimes Naturally Speaking Improvements or (temporary) problems to be addressed.
A third step is weaving together of EMDR and system calls, which in addition to trauma and healthy relationships are the results in objectifying both areas reinforcement each other logically.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Treatment attrition represents a considerable problem for effective delivery
of care for PTSD. While treatment attrition during the course of treatment is
well researched, little is known about the factors that affect sample selection
before the beginning of a study. Previous research on other Axis I disorders
indicates that patients may refuse participation more often because of study
medication than because of psychosocial treatment. The present study
examines traits and predictors of pretreatment attrition from a study of PTSD
that compared treatment outcomes for fluoxetine versus EMDR. Potential
study participants were screened over the telephone for study eligibility.
During the telephone screen, a total of 394 people met study eligibility
requirements but declined participation (59% of total eligible participants).
While a variety of factors were cited for declining study participation, consistent
with previous research, refusal of study medication emerged as the pre-dominant reason for pretreatment attrition (49%). Results are discussed in
terms of how treatment preferences and other pretreatment attrition factors
may impact the external validity of comparative treatment outcome studies.
Clinical implications discussed include the potential for pretreatment attrition
factors to interfere with trauma survivors’ ability to seek and obtain effective
treatment

Abstract:
E.M.D.R. Son las siglas de Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, que se podría traducir como Desensibilización y reprocesamiento por medio de movimiento oculares. Se trata de un tratamiento psicoterapéutico innovador utilizado para tratar un amplio rango de patologías. Originalmente fue diseńado por F. Shapiro en 1987 para tratar el estrés postraumático y su eficacia fue probada experimentalmente para casos de abusos infantiles, violaciones, veteranos de la guerra de Vietnam y otros trastornos. Su éxito fue tan rotundo que se multiplicaron las investigaciones sobre su capacidad de curar otras patologías, demostrándose su utilidad en los trastornos que implican ansiedad, dolor crónico, duelos y fobias. Cientos de estudios de casos han sido publicados y la amplia investigación experimental realizada en EEUU y en Europa El abrazo Mariposa es una técnica de Auto control.
E.M.D.R. Stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which could be translated as Desensitization and Reprocessing Eye Movement. This is an innovative psychotherapy used to treat a wide range of pathologies. Originally designed by F. Shapiro in 1987 to treat PTSD and its effectiveness was tested experimentally for cases of child abuse, rape, veterans of the Vietnam War and other disorders. Its success was so resounding that multiplied the research on their ability to cure other diseases, proving its usefulness in disorders involving anxiety, chronic pain, grief and phobias. Hundreds of case studies have been published and extensive experimental research conducted in the U.S. and Europe The butterfly hug is a technique of self-control.

Abstract:
Over de werkzame bestanddelen van Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is veel
gespeculeerd, maar er is nog weinig duidelijkheid over. Hoewel vaak wordt beweerd dat EMDR
voornamelijk op suggestie berust, ontbreken serieuze analyses in die richting. De auteur stelt dat EMDR
overeenkomt met de gefractioneerde inductietechniek van Langen. Hij bespreekt de suggestibiliteitverhogende
factoren van EMDR en de overeenkomsten met hypnose, zoals het toepassen van impliciete
suggesties. Conclusie: EMDR werkt. Niet uitsluitend vanwege de suggestieve technieken, maar wel door
daar optimaal gebruik van te maken.
About the active ingredients of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been much speculation, but there is still little clarity about. Although often claimed that EMDR is based mainly on suggestions, no serious analysis in this direction. The author proposes that EMDR corresponding to the fractional induction technique of Langen. He discusses the factors suggestibiliteitverhogende of EMDR with hypnosis and agreements, such as the use of implicit suggestions. Conclusion: EMDR works.

Abstract:
Hurt has been defined as an emotion, which arises in a social interaction as
a consequence of certain interpersonal events. Leary (1998) asserts that the
common denominator in all instances of hurt feelings is the perception of
relational devaluation.
The overall aim of the workshop is to point at the importance of hurt feelings
in unresolved interpersonal conflicts. More specific learning objectives are:
11) understanding under what conditions hurt feelings are likely to be harmful
and why, (2) how hurt feelings may affect the perception of ongoing
relationships, (3) demonstrating the use of EMDR in the resolution of hurt
feelings.

Abstract:
Many clinicians who work with children and adolescents struggle with applying the basic protocol for EMDR for this population as well as focus on clinical issues that can be treated effectively with EMDR. It can feel overwhleming for the clinican to be creative within their own practice without support for what they are doing, or suggestions on other strategies that may be more effective. This conversation hour session, lasting 3 hours, will provide a panel of professionals from different fields of expertise to lead a discussion of clinical applications of EMDR when treating children and adolescents. The first topic will address how the EMDR protocol may need to be adjusted to accommodate the needs or limitations for children and adolescents. The second topic will focus on what specific developmental considerations need to be considered when using EMDR with attachment disorders as well as identifying guidelines and strategies for including the family in the EMDR process with this population. The final topic will address 2 commonly seen diagnoses of AD/HD and anxiety addressing the possible negative cognitions, resource installations, and cognitive interweaves that can be used when treating children or adolescents with EMDR to resolve the trauma issues when having these disorders. The members of the panel are current chairs of the EMDRIA Chld/Adolescent SIG who will share their expertise with the audience.

Abstract:
Renee Beer en Hellen Hornsveld bespreken in deze presentatie toepassingsmogelijkheden van EMDR bij patiënten met uiteenlopende eetstoornissen.
Eerder is over dit onderwerp gepresenteerd door beide spreeksters op een EMDR Netwerkavond in 2004 en op het Europese EMDR congres in 2005.
Samenvatting
Patiënten met Eetstoornissen (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge eating disorder) krijgen doorgaans een multidisciplinaire behandeling, waarin verschillende modules een complementaire rol spelen. Resultaten zijn echter vaak teleurstellend en daarom zijn nieuwe ideeën en technieken welkom. Mogelijkheden en beperkingen van EMDR in combinatie met Cognitieve Gedragstherapie (C.G.T.) worden besproken en geďllustreerd met videobeelden.
Renee Beer zal toelichten en demonstreren
-hoe EMDR geplaatst kan worden in de context van C.G.T.,
-waarom het aantrekkelijk is voor adolescenten (“een coole combi”),
-welke targets in aanmerking kunnen komen (o.a. traumaverwerking, lichaamsbeeld en zelfbeeld),
-hoe deze targets bewerkt kunnen worden,
-en wanneer in het behandelingsproces EMDR in aanmerking komt.
Hellen Hornsveld zal vervolgens haar ervaringen presenteren met een eigen protocol ter behandeling van eetbuien en eetdrang. Dit protocol is voortgekomen uit de observatie dat patiënten vaak heftige, negatieve emoties vertonen tijdens cue exposure. Cue exposure is een gedragstherapeutische techniek, waarbij de patiënt blootgesteld wordt aan de prikkels die doorgaans een eetbui uitlokken (geur, smaak,aanwezigheid van “verboden” voedsel) zonder dat de eetbui daarbij plaats mag vinden (responspreventie). De procedure is gericht op het laten uitdoven van de fysiologische reacties op de eetbui prikkels (Jansen, 1997). Op de inhoud van de reacties en de emotionele betekenis die geassocieerd is met het eten, wordt verder niet ingegaan. De EMDR variant van dit protocol is juist gericht op de betekenisverlening en het creëren van een zo hoog mogelijke emotionele lading (“balletje op de berg”) door zoveel mogelijk het EMDR protocol te volgen. Positieve ervaringen met dit protocol zullen aan de hand van videomateriaal worden gedemonstreerd.
Renee Beer and Hellen Hornsveld in this presentation discuss applications of EMDR in patients with various eating disorders.
This issue was presented by speakers at an Evening Both EMDR Network in 2004 and the European EMDR conference in 2005.
Summary
Patients with Eating Disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, binge eating disorder) tend to have a Multidisciplinary treatment, a complementary role Which modules. Results in loss or are disappointing and therefore welcome new ideas and techniques. Possibilities and limitations of EMDR in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are discussed and illustrated with videos.
Renee Beer will demonstrate and explain
-How EMDR Can Be Placed in the context of CBT,
-Why is it Attractive for adolescents ("a cool combination)
Targets, Which Are Eligible (e.g. trauma, body image and self-image)
How-thesis targets Can be edited
And when in the process of EMDR treatment is Eligible.
Hellen Horn Field Will then present experiences with ITS ITS own protocol for the treatment of binge eating and eetdrang. This protocol is derived from the observation That Patients in loss or intense negative emotions show consistently cue exposure. Cue exposure is a behavioral technique in Which the patient is Exposed to the stimuli That Provoke Normally a binge (smell, taste, presence of "forbidden" foods) without taking the binge Which Should Be (response prevention). The procedure is aimed at gradually between the physiological responses to the binge stimuli (Jansen, 1997). The content of the emotional responses and Significance associated with the food is not Considered Further. The EMDR variant of this protocol is very focused on the perspectives and Creating the Highest Possible emotional charge (ball on the Mountain ") as much as Possible, the EMDR protocol to follow. Positive experience with this protocol using Will Be video material locally.

Abstract:
“Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing” or EMDR, is an innovative treatment for psychological disorders such as PTSD, first discovered and developed by California psychologist Francine Shapiro, PhD. in the 1980’s. EMDR uses eye movements to turn on memory processing systems that are normally activated by Rapid Eye Movement (RIM) during periods of sleep. During REM, our brains are processing memories, deciding what to keep and what to discard. However, when the brain attempts to process traumatic memories, the intense emotions often associated by them causes the sleeper to have nightmares and wake up before the memory can be processed. The results can be continued nightmares, flashbacks, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Normally, with just a few treatments, EMDR can help the brain to process the traumatic memories by initiating RIM while the patient is fully awake. For more information on EMDR visit: www.emdr.com

by a rigid, character-armor, defensive resistance. This presentatlon will propose
that the presence of untreated dissociation accounts for these failures and will
highlight the use of ego-state mapping, exploration, interweaves and the
utilization of ego-state-specific EMDR protocols to target dissociation and facilitate robust processing.

Abstract:
The integration of EMDR with Ego State Therapy will be presented as a comprehensive approach to treatment of the wide spectrum of personality disorders. These diagnostic categories include individuals manifesting character pathology, borderline personalities, antisocial and sociopathic tendencies as well as addictive behaviors. These clients have often been seen as poor candidates for EMDR or even nonresponders. They are often mandated for treatment or come at the behest of others. Their histories often include early repeated experiences of abuse, deprivation, abandonment, and parental coldness. The hallmarks of personality disorders are rigid, intractable defenses, difficulty relating and empathizing with others, as well as acting out behavior. Historically, the treatment of personality disorders has been described as the symptoms of personality disorders be viewed as aspects of dissociation and will examine the applications of ego state concepts and techniques to all phases of the EMDR protocol in order to facilitate the treatment of these clients. Central to this approach is the conceptualization of self and object rcpresentations, self-objects or schemas as ego-states. Discussion will include how to use a developmental approach to assessment and will review the identification, mapping, and accessing of ego-states as well as how to promote ego-state-specific EMDR targets, facilitating the enhancement of EMDR processing.

EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy approach proposed to treat a wide range of psychological disorders. This is the first French review of EMDR effectiveness. The EMDR effectiveness is initially show with uncontrolled cases studies that suffers from important methodological weaknesses. Experimental case studies provide equivocal results. Controlled studies are then reviewed as a function of the type of experimental control used and the type of disorder treated. EMDR appears as effective as cognitive-behavioral therapy for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder but cognitive-behavioral therapy remains the treatment of choice for specific phobia and panic disorder. In addition, dismantling studies repeatedly show that eye movements are not necessary for the efficacy of EMDR. An analysis of the differences and similarities between EMDR and the cognitive behavioral approach is presented. Pseudoscience elements embedded in EMDR development and diffusion are also presented.

Abstract:
The UK National Institute for Clinical Excellence Guidelines on PTSD: Based on rigorous meta-analysis, detailed literature review and two public consultations, the national guidelines for the assessment, prevention and treatment of PTSD in the UK will be presented in this symposium on behalf of the Guideline Development Group.
Psychological treatments for PTSD: A systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomised controlled trials of
psychological treatment for PTSD was undertaken. Thirty-eight RCTs of psychological
treatments for PTSD were identified. Trauma focused cognitive
behavioural therapy (TFCBT) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing
(EMDR) showed clinically important benefits over waitlist/usual care
on measures of PTSD. The evidence base for EMDR was not as strong as
that for TFCBT, both in terms of the number of RCTs available and the certainty
with which clinical benefit was established. There was limited evidence
that TFCBT and EMDR were superior to supportive/non-directive treatments,
hence it is highly unlikely that their effectiveness is due to non-specific
factors such as attention. There was limited evidence for stress management
and group CBT but other therapies (supportive/non-directive therapy,
psychodynamic therapies and hypnotherapies) that focus on current or past
aspects of the patient’s life other than the trauma or general support, did
not show clinically important effects on PTSD symptoms. However, this may
be due to the limited number of studies available and does not mean that
these treatments were shown to be ineffective.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Objective: The authors present a multidimensional meta-analysis of studies published between 1980 and 2003 on psychotherapy for PTSD. Method: Data on variables not previously meta-analyzed such as inclusion and exclusion criteria and rates, recovery and improvement rates, and follow-up data were examined. Results: Results suggest that psychotherapy for PTSD leads to a large initial improvement from baseline. More than half of patients who complete treatment with various forms of cognitive behavior therapy or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing improve. Reporting of metrics other than effect size provides a somewhat more nuanced account of outcome and generalizability. Conclusions: The majority of patients treated with psychotherapy for PTSD in randomized trials recover or improve, rendering these approaches some of the most effective psychosocial treatments devised to date. Several caveats, however, are important in applying these findings to patients treated in the community. Exclusion criteria and failure to address polysymptomatic presentations render generalizability to the population of PTSD patients indeterminate. The majority of patients posttreatment continue to have substantial residual symptoms, and follow-up data beyond very brief intervals have been largely absent. Future research intended to generalize to patients in practice should avoid exclusion criteria other than those a sensible clinician would impose in practice (e.g., schizophrenia), should avoid wait-list and other relatively inert control conditions, and should follow patients through at least 2 years.

Format: Conference
Abstract:
Deze lezing gaat over het implementeren van EMDR
in een zeer complexe (TBS) instelling, waarbij beveiliging en onlosmakelijk behandeling verweven zijn, met een diagnostisch zwaar belaste doelgroep:
• Meervoudige persoonlijkheidsstoornissen
• Meervoudig ernstig getraumatiseerd
• Verslavingsproblematiek
• Specifieke psychiatrische problematiek
• Forensische problematiek
• Combinaties
Het TBS systeem van behandelen (met beveiliging als belangrijk punt) verhoudt zich soms moeilijk tot de behandeling met EMDR van de individuele patiënt. Angst voor de beheersbaarheid van een patiënt gedurende de behandeling kan als een contra-indicatie worden gezien voor EMDR-behandeling. Het is de vraag of EMDR gecontraďndiceerd is in een TBS-kliniek vanwege de veiligheid. De inbedding van de behandeling in de TBS-kliniek alsmede het toepassen van zelfcontroletechnieken zijn hierbij belangrijke factoren.
Complicerende factor is dat veel TBS-patiënten zowel zelf getraumatiseerd zijn als wel ernstige delicten hebben gepleegd waarmee ze anderen hebben getraumatiseerd.
In deze lezing willen wij vooral aan de orde stellen hoe de behandeling van het daderschap zich verhoudt tot de behandeling van het slachtofferschap van de patiënt. We willen hiervan zowel de inhoudelijke als de ethische kant belichten. Van belang hierbij is ook de discussie rondom de indicatiestelling: richt men zich eerst op het daderschap of juist op het slachtofferschap? Verder willen we de gelaagdheid van de behandeling benoemen: de behandelaar heeft niet alleen te maken met de problematiek van de patiënt maar ook te maken met de gesloten kliniek en verschillende functionarissen daarin. Die gelaagdheid heeft direct gevolgen voor de vorm en inhoud van de behandeling.
Als hypothese willen we naar voren brengen dat de behandeling van trauma’s essentieel kan zijn voor de behandeling van persoonlijkheidsproblematiek. Schemagerichte Cognitieve Therapie (J. Young), sluit in onze ogen naadloos aan op EMDR. Beide stromingen richten zich op dezelfde type existentiële “Ik ben ….“ opvattingen.
This lecture is about the implementation of EMDR
In a very complex (TBS) of institution, and security are inextricably intertwined treatment, with a heavily loaded diagnostic target:
• Multiple personality disorder
• Multiple severely traumatized
• Addiction Problems
• Specific psychiatric problems
• Forensic issues
• Combinations
The TBS system of treatment (with security as an important point) does sometimes difficult to EMDR treatment of individual patients. Fear of the manageability of a patient during treatment as may be considered a contraindication for EMDR treatment. The question is whether EMDR is contraindicated in a TBS clinic for security reasons. The embedding of treatment in the TBS clinic and the use of self-control techniques are important factors.
Complicating factor is that many TBS patients, both self-traumatized as well have committed serious crimes with which they have traumatized others.
In this talk we mainly discussed how the treatment of the perpetrator is related to the treatment of the victimization of the patient. We wish them both the substantive and ethical angles. Of importance here is the discussion surrounding the needs assessment: the focus is first on the perpetrator or at the very victimization? We also want to appoint the stratification of treatment: the therapist has not only faced with the problem of the patient but also to do with the clinic closed and several officers therein. Such layering has direct implications for the form and content of treatment.
As a hypothesis we want to highlight that the treatment of trauma may be essential for the treatment of personality problems. Schema-Focused Cognitive Therapy (J. Young), close our eyes seamlessly with EMDR. Both schools focus on the same existential type "I am ...." opinions.

Eating disorders, which are frequently associated with Core Attachment
Difficulties, present particular challenges to the EMDR clinician, since clients
with eating disorders want to disconnect from precisely the affects that EMDR
is designed to access. This workshop presents an EMDR model for safe and

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
PTSD appears to incorporate two quite separate sets of processes. One is concerned with specific reactions to extreme threat. The encoding
of long-lasting image-based memories interferes with the encoding of verbal
memories that are necessary to represent the trauma as a past event and
inhibit the reliving of the trauma. The second set of processes is concerned
with the challenge the trauma poses to the victim's identity. "Trauma
processing" leaves original memory representations intact and involves the construction of alternative memories that are helped to compete more
effectively for retrieval in the presence of reminders of the traumatic event.

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.

Abstract:
Posttraumatic stress disorder is a common and often chronic and disabling anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to highly stressful events characterized by actual or threatened harm to the self or others. This is the second of two invited articles summarizing the nature and treatment of PTSD and the associated condition of acute stress disorder (ASD). The present article reviews evidence for the efficacy of psychological and pharmacological treatments for PTSD and ASD. In summary, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been found efficacious in the treatment of chronic PTSD as well as the treatment of ASD/prevention of PTSD. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, sertraline, paroxetine, and fluoxetine, have been found efficacious in the treatment of chronic PTSD, with sertraline and paroxetine receiving the FDA indication for this condition. There is less evidence for efficacious medications in the treatment of ASD/prevention of PTSD. At present, hydrocortisone and propranolol show the greatest promise. Limitations of these treatments, including dropout and a significant number of patients showing no or only partial response, are discussed as well as issues related to selecting among efficacious treatments.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
This study utilized single session EMDR (Shapiro, 1995, 2002) and the Experiential Approach to Couples Treatment (EXACT method) to target substance abuse related trauma in non-dependent partners (NDPs) of former substance abusers. Chemical dependent partners (CDPs) received simultaneous experiential treatment. Treatment effects and maintenance of treatment between experimental and wait-list control groups were examined for trauma reduction, commitment to sobriety, and emotional intimacy. Correlations among intimacy, emotional quality, between and commitment to sobriety were examined. Meta-analyses informed the literature review and described the gold standards (Foa & Meadows, 1997) which were used to rate controlled research. The Emogram (Priesmeyer, Knickerbocker, Comstock, & Mudge, 2001) was used for pre-posttest comparisons. This study met the gold standards at a rating of seven (RGS = 7.0). The sample consisted of 12 couples (N = 24) drawn from adult volunteers who met screening criteria. Data was analyzed using within subjects multivariate analyses of variance with repeated measures, and Pearson product-moment correlations. Trauma-related symptoms were significantly reduced for NDPs. Commitment to sobriety was measured by anxiety and depression symptoms which were significantly reduced for chemical dependent partners (CDPs). Trauma, anxiety, and depression reductions were maintained for all participants at follow-up. Maintenance of gains in commitment to sobriety and in emotional intimacy for CDPs failed to reject the null hypotheses. Measures of Self Disclosure, Love and Affection, and Personal Validation were significantly correlated, but were not significantly correlated to Trust or to Emotional Quality. No significant relationship was found between Emotional Quality and Commitment to Sobriety or between Emotional Quality and Emotional Intimacy for CDPs. Conclusions include that a single session of the treatment was efficacious for trauma, anxiety, and depression reduction and for increased commitment to sobriety and intimacy. Treatment gains for trauma, anxiety, and depression reduction were maintained. Commitment to sobriety and emotional intimacy gains tended to be maintained but were not significant. Intimacy measures tended to be related to each other, but relationships among other measures were not significant. Recommendations include larger sample sizes, additional variables of study, and lengthening follow-ups. Comparative treatment methods are recommended. Future research should include families.

Abstract:
Since its introduction by Francine Shapiro in
1989, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing
(EMDR) has gained wide acceptance as an efficacious
clinical treatment. It is particularly useful in the
treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Alto,
2001). Despite its relative novelty, EMDR has been used
to treat survivors, emergency workers, and disaster
relief counselors worldwide. EMDR therapists have
successfully employed EMDR in Oklahoma City,
Belfast, Zagreb, Rwanda, Dunblane, Sarajevo,
Columbine, and Londonderry. EMDR has also been
used in the treatment of PTSD for combat veterans from
World War II, the Korean War, Beirut, and the Vietnam
War (Silver & Rogers, 2002, p. xix). EMDR effects
exceed those of nonspecific effects shared by all
treatments and are independent of client expectations.
Moreover, EMDR effects are at least equal to effects
of cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR requires
less time than other models with less client attrition
(Silver & Rogers, p. 254). Importantly, the American
Psychological Association has listed EMDR as an
efficacious treatment for civilian PTSD (Alto, 2001).

Quite frequently in treatment, it has been noted that these men report frequent childhood experiences of peer and familial ridicule, experienced during formative periods in the development of identity. This ridicule may be conceptualized as a chronic stressor that often results in traumatic responses in adulthood such as substance abuse and self-destructive sexual behavior. This presentation puts forth a treatment model for assisting gay men in overcoming their tramatic responses to childhood ridicule that take the form of self-destructive behaviors in adulthood. Participants will become familiar with the special mental health needs of the gay client and through the presentation of case studies, will become familiar with therapeutic techniques designed to releave the resulting depression and anxiety by employing cognitive restructuring techniques. Participants will come to understand the value of gay affirmative psychotherapy, the need for advocacy outside of the gay community and ancillary treatment options for therapists.

Abstract:
In the past 2 decades, important insights have been gained regarding violence and trauma. Complications occur in how violence and trauma, their causes, and their effects on victims should be defined. Violence and abuse to women -- physical, sexual, and emotional -- are not rare events and are most often perpetrated by partners or acquaintances rather than strangers and occur in nonmarital as well as marital relationships, including same-sex relationships. A promising methodological innovation in the study of violence and trauma is the use of longitudinal designs. Innovations in treatments for victims such as evidence-based interventions have been slow to emerge; they include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and the Seeking Safety group intervention for drug-abusing women with trauma histories. Future research should address increased understanding of variation in individual responses to violence and trauma, matching of treatment to different types of male offenders, better understanding of how culture affects violence perpetration and victimization, and evaluation of domestic violence interventions.

Abstract:
Research background & objectives: Based on REM-sleep dependent memory reprocessing model, this study examined possible therapeutic mechanisms of eye
movements in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR; Shapiro, 1989,
1995, 2001). Stickgold (2002) proposed that sleep induced change in associative memory
via activation of weak association during REM state and EMs functioned as REM sleep to
integrate the episodic memory of trauma into general semantic memory. Specifically, the
effect of EM in relation to order of relatedness of associations on change of strength of
semantic associations for negative words after saccadic bilateral eye movements was
examined in the present study.
Methods: Sixty-four college students were recruited as participants. Via semantic
priming task, a 2 (eye movement condition: horizontal saccadic eye movements vs. no
eye movements) × 3 (strength of semantic association: strong priming vs. weak priming
vs. unrelated priming) × 2 (block order of presentation: related prime first vs. unrelated
prime first) mixed factorial design was performed, with strength of semantic association
serving as within Ss factor and the other two variables serving as between Ss factors. The
primes consisted of negative word stimuli. Each trials consisted of an 8 seconds saccadic
horizontal eye movement manipulation (200 ms per movement in EM condition),
followed by 500-msec fixation point and then prime displayed for 32msec, which was
followed immediately by the target. The participant was instructed to read the target as
soon as possible and the reaction time was recorded by the compuer. While absolute
primeability index for strong (or weak) association was calculated as (RT
related – RT unrelated) for strong primes or weak primes, respectively, relative primeability index was calculated as (RT related – RT unrelated)/RT
unrelated. The dependent variables were correct (%), error (%), and primeability index for each of strong prime and weak prime. Change of primeability
of weak associations for negative stimuli as opposed to that of strong ones under different
EM conditions and different block order was compared.
Results: For absolute primeability index, the 2 (EM condition) × 2 (order) × 2 (strength
of priming) ANOVA showed that only the interaction effect of EM × strength of semantic
association was approaching significance, indicating that weak priming significantly
exceeded strong priming after EM (F (1, 56)
= 18.01, p < .001; partial ω 2= .210), while the
opposite was true after non-EM (F (1, 56)
= 25.86, p < .0001; partial ω 2 = .280). Further, for weak prime, the priming effect was stronger after EM than after non-EM (F
(1, 56) = 74.62,
p < .0001; partial ω 2 = .535). For relative primeability index, it also revealed that only the interaction effect of EM × strength of semantic association was significant (F (1, 56) = 6.09, p < .02; partial ω 2 = .074), and tests of simple main effects showed similar patterns as those of absolute primeability index. Conclusions: 8s EMs was associated with change of strength of semantic associations.
While EM didn’t weaken the primeability for the strong association, EM did enhance the
primeability for weak associations. Further, weak priming significantly exceeded strong
priming after EM, while the opposite was true after non-EM. The results echoed
REM-sleep dependent memory reprocessing model, suggesting that EM in EMDR might
reflect a shift in associative memory systems by activating different strength of
associations of negative semantic nodes for different semantically related words. Given
that order of relatedness didn’t play a role and previous research showed that EM resulted
in decreased vividness and emotionality and generated greater amount of associations for
negative stimuli as well, the implications of the present results from theoretical and
psychotherapy point of views and future research possibilities are discussed.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Research background: It was noted that when people recalled an
emotional event, there is a spontaneous eye movements during retrieval
of memory, known as conjugate lateral eye movements (CLEM). Eye
movements during mental imagery are not epiphenomenal but assist the
process of image generation (Hebb, 1968; Brandt & Stark, 1997). If
restricted to a fixed point, then the image of recall is impaired (Laeng &
Teodorescu 2002). These findings might shed light on why bilateral eye
movements during imagery could decrease vividness and emotionality of
recollections.
Objectives: Based on the above findings, this study examined possible
therapeutic mechanism of eye movements in Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR; Shapiro, 1989, 1995, 2001),
of which eye movement was a crucial treatment component. Specifically,
the hypothesis that interfering CLEM via introducing bilateral eye
movements or a fixed position could reduce vividness and emotionality of
autobiographical memories was examined in the present study. Further,
whether there are different CLEMs (more rightward in positive and more
leftward in negative) during retrieval of positive and negative memories
was also investigated.
Method: Seventeen healthy volunteers recalled two positive and two
negative memories and rated their vividness and emotionality of the
recollections. Next, memories were recalled whilst the participant was
performing either bilateral eye movements (interference of CLEM) or
mere image condition (non-interference of CLEM). Then participants
were asked to recall the event again and to rate its vividness and
emotionality. Vividness and emotionality ratings were analyzed using a 2
(EM condition: bilateral eye movement vs. mere image) × 2 (valence of
memory: positive vs. negative) × 2 (time: before vs. after the intervention)
repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). During the first and
last recall of each memory CLEM were recorded by a digital camera. To
examine the effect of CLEM during recollections on emotionality and
vividness of autobiographical memories, eye movements in each recall
were counted into percentage time of eye gaze in three regions (leftward,
middle, rightward), instead of counting the first lateral eye movement as
used by the traditional method.
Results: Compared to mere image condition, recollections after bilateral
eye movements made subsequent recollections less vivid and less
emotive, while the opposite was true for mere image condition.
Regarding vividness, the 2 × 2 × 2 ANOVA showed that there was a
significant condition × time interaction. None of the other interactions or
main effects reached significance. Simple main effect indicated that the
change in vividness was significant in the mere image condition, but not
in the eye movement condition. As to emotionality, the three way
ANOVA showed that there was also a significant condition × time
interaction. None of the other interactions or main effects reached
significance. Simple main effect indicated that the change in emotionality
was significant in the mere image condition, and in eye movement
condition. Concerning percentage of gaze direction (left, right) in positive
and negative memories, pair t test showed that there was a significant
right gaze difference between positive and negative memories, and
approached significant left gaze difference between positive and negative
memories. With regard to CLEM, negative memories showed less right
gazes and more left gazes than positive memories.
Conclusion:The bilateral eye movements made autobiographical
memories less vivid and less emotive than mere image condition, while
mere image increased the vividness and emotionality of autobiographical
memories. Further, there is different CLEM for negative and positive
memories. While the hypothesis that interference of CLEM reduced the
vividness and emotionality of autobiographical memories was confirmed,
the role of eye movement in the EMDR was discussed and future research
possibilities are proposed.

Abstract:
Therapists once believed trauma survivors required years of treatment, yet we now know that relatively brief cognitive-behavioral interventions can yield long-term gains in psychosocial and psychological function. Many psychiatric patients meet diagnostic criteria for PTSD, including: 33% of women experiencing sexual assault, 30% of male war veterans, and 30% of the 5 million U.S. children exposed to trauma each year. The authors offer recommendations on how to prepare traumatized adults and children for cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and discuss four tested models -- prolonged exposure (PE), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and stress inoculation training (SIT) -- that psychiatrists may find effective when treating PTSD.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract: Engaging in bilateral saccadic eye movements (EMs) immediately prior to retrieval has been shown to enhance the retrieval of episodic, but not semantic, memories (Christman, Garvey, Propper, & Phaneuf, 2003; Christman, Propper, & Dion, 2004). The present study extended this paradigm by investigating the effect of EMs at encoding, as well as at retrieval. EMs prior to encoding led to a significant impairment in episodic recall ( p = .004), relative to no-EM controls. In contrast, in the absence of EMs at encoding, EMs at retrieval led to marginally better episodic recall ( p = .12). EM manipulations had no effects on tests of implicit and semantic memory. Thus, bilateral saccadic EMs impair versus enhance the encoding versus retrieval of episodic memories, respectively. Results are interpreted in terms of EM-induced increases in cholinergic activity (resulting in episodic memories being integrated into semantic networks) versus interhemispheric interaction (resulting in enhanced access to right-hemisphere–based retrieval mechanisms).

Abstract: Engaging in bilateral eye movements (EM) leads to increases in Stroop interference, improvements in episodic memory, and decreases in false memories in a converging semantic associates paradigm. These results are interpreted as reflecting EM-induced equalization of cortical activation and subsequent enhancement of interhemispheric interaction. Since increased right versus left hemisphere activation is associated with negative versus positive affect, respectively, it was hypothesized that EMs following a mood-induction procedure should result in neutralization of affect. Seventy three right-handed participants engaged in happy or sad mood induction procedures, providing mood ratings on a 1-9 scale, followed by 30 seconds of either bilateral EMs or, as a control, watching a dot change color repeatedly. Participants then supplied a second mood rating. Analyses of the Happy condition showed no mood differences after mood induction, with all participants yielding scores significantly happier than neutral. After administration of the visual condition, participants in the Colored Dot condition showed no change in mood. In the EM condition, however, participants showed a significant reduction in positive affect. Analyses of the Sad condition showed that the mood induction procedure failed, with participants reporting neutral moods after mood induction. Post hoc analyses of only those participants reporting sad moods after induction showed that participants in the EM condition exhibited a marginally greater neutralization of affect than in the Colored Dot condition. The results provide tentative support for the hypothesis that bilateral EMs result in neutralization of emotional states, reflecting an equalization of cortical activation in the left and right hemispheres.

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively recent therapeutic approach to the treatment of traumatic memories in the wake of psychological trauma such as those found in PTSD. It is based on the theory that bilateral stimulation, mostly in the form of eye movements, allows the processing of traumatic memories. While the patient focuses on specific images, negative sensations, and associated cognitions, bilateral stimulation is applied to desensitise the individual to these memories, and more positive sensations and cognitions are introduced. Although there is still uncertainty about the theoretical concepts underlying EMDR and the role of bilateral stimulation, it is an effective and proven treatment for PTSD and traumatic memories. It should form part of treatment approaches offered to individuals with PTSD. [Author Abstract]

Format: Book Section
Abstract:
After a trauma, an individual is often tormented by the images of the tragic incident. These recollections return as nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and flashbacks. Physical pain related to the trauma triggers recollections of the trauma. These images reinforce the victimization. Those who take flight or who fight back during a trauma hold images of being active while those who freeze have more passive images. The Reenactment Protocol (RP) is a process of developing a new active image that reflects control, safety, and efficacy that is then associated with the trauma to allow the client a new set of meanings. I've never seen an abreaction, or reexperiencing of the trauma, arise during the RP. After the RP, clients report feeling in control. Their Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) have significantly lowered. Their physical pain has often lessened or disappeared. Clients often laugh at the point of reenacting their story, and the positive affect remains for the rest of the session. In therapies that have relied heavily on the RP, many clients gain a sense of control and sureness and increase their assertive behaviors. [Text, p. 213] [Pilots]

Abstract:
The term “post-traumatic stress disorder” (PTSD) is a relatively new diagnostic label, being formally recognized in 1980 in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Psychiatric Illness – Third Edition (DSM-III) of the American Psychiatric Association (APA, 1980). Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CP) is a more recently discussed, and newly-classified, phenomenon, initially discussed in the early 1990s (Herman, 1992a). Thus, as research into effective treatments for CP is sparse, the treatment of CP is the topic of this study, in which a guideline-based treatment program developed by the researcher for the treatment of CP is implemented and evaluated. Ten individuals participated in this study, undertaking individualized, guideline-based treatment programs spanning a period of six months. In providing background information relevant to this study, an explanation is provided regarding the nature of CP, and the reasons for its consideration as a separate phenomenon to PTSD. The adequacy of the PTSD formulation in enabling effective assessment and treatment of CP is also explored, with endorsement of previous researchers’ conclusions that the CP construct is more useful than the PTSD construct for assessing and treating survivors of long-term and multiple forms of abuse. The PTSD classification is restrictive, and not necessarily appropriate for certain forms of trauma (such as prolonged trauma, or multiple forms of trauma), as such trauma experiences may lead to specific effects that lay outside those formerly associated with PTSD. Such effects include alterations in affect regulation, consciousness, self-perception, interpersonal relationships, and in systems of meaning. Following discussion regarding the PTSD/CP classification, an examination of treatment methods currently used in the treatment of PTSD, and a review of treatment outcome studies, takes place. The adequacy of primary treatment methods in treating CP symptoms is then examined, with the conclusion that a range of treatment methods could potentially be useful in the treatment of CP symptoms. Individuals with a diagnosis of CP may benefit from the adoption of an eclectic approach, drawing on different treatment options for different symptoms, and constantly evaluating client progress and re-evaluating interventions. This review of treatment approaches is followed by details of an initial study undertaken to obtain feedback from individuals who had suffered long-term/multiple trauma and who had received treatment. Participants in this initial study were asked open-ended questions regarding the treatment approach they had experienced, the most useful aspect of the treatment, the least useful aspect, and other strategies/treatment approaches that may have been useful – but which were not used. The feedback obtained from these individuals was used to inform the development of treatment guidelines for use in the main study, as were recommendations made by Chu (1998). The predominant focus of the treatment guidelines was “ego strengthening”, a term coined by Chu (1998) to describe the “initial (sometimes lengthy) period of developing fundamental skills in maintaining supportive relationships, developing self-care strategies, coping with symptomatology, improving functioning, and establishing a positive self identity” (p.75). Using a case study approach, data are then presented relating to each of the ten individuals involved in the treatment program: details of his/her trauma experience(s)and the impact of the trauma (as perceived by each individual); details of each individual’s treatment program (as planned, and as implemented); post-treatment evaluation of the positive and negative aspects of the treatment program (from the therapist’s perspective); and details of the symptoms reported by the individual post-treatment, via psychometric assessment and also during interview. Analysis and discussion of the data relating to the ten participants in the study are the focal point of this study. The evaluation of the effectiveness of each individual’s treatment has been based predominantly on qualitative data, obtained from an analysis of language (discourse analysis) used by participants to describe their symptoms pre- and post-treatment. Both blatant and subtle changes in the language used by participants to describe themselves, their behaviour, and their relationships pre- and post-treatment have provided an insight into the possible changes that occurred as a result of the treatment program. The language used by participants has been a rich source of data, one that has enabled the researcher to obtain information that could not be obtained using psychometric assessment methods. Most of the participants in this study portrayed notable changes in many of the CP symptoms, including being more stable and having improved capacity to explore their early abuse. Although no direct cause-effect relationship between the participants’ treatment program and the improvements described can be established from this study, the participants’ perception that the program assisted them with their symptoms, and reported many aspects of “ego strengthening”, is of major importance. Such self-perception of strength and empowerment is important if an individual is going to be able to deal with past trauma experiences. In fact, abreactive work may have a greater chance of succeeding if those who have experienced long-term or multiple trauma are feeling more empowered, and more stable, as were the participants in this study (post-intervention). In concluding this study, recommendations have been made in regard to the use of guideline-based treatment programs in the responsible treatment of CP. Strengths and limitations of this study have also been highlighted, and recommendations have been made regarding possibilities for future research related to CP treatment. On the whole, this study has supported strongly other research that highlights the importance of focusing on “ego strengthening” in assisting those who have suffered long-term/multiple trauma experiences. Thus, a guideline-based program focusing on assisting sufferers of long-term trauma with some, or all, of the symptoms of CP, is recommended as an important first stage of any treatment of individuals who have experienced long-term/multiple trauma, allowing them to develop the emotional and psychological strength required to deal with past traumatic events. Clinicians who are treating patients whose history depicts long-term or multiple trauma experiences (either from their childhood, or at some stage in their adult life) need, therefore, to be mindful of assessing individuals for symptoms of CP – so that they can treat these symptoms prior to engaging in any work associated directly with the past traumatic experiences.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method to treat people who have disturbing or traumatic memories, by mimicking the brain's natural way of processing information by using eye movements or other types of bilateral stimulation. This treatment is the most rapid of the four recommended treatments for PTSD and is being focused on because it is the only one that is effective for acute stress disorder, which is one of the early stages of PTSD.

Abstract:
Various studies have shown that the counselling routinely offered to people
in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic incident seldom protects them
from developing post-traumatic stress -and could even delay their recovery.
On the other hand, clinical experience suggests that in many cases with the
proper utilization of EMDR an almost spontaneous integration of perceptions
of sensory input and the cognitive components of the experience takes
place. Although controlled data about types of interventions. the optimal
time to intervene or predictors of response and recovery are still lacking.
within the organization D.O.E.N., providing critical incident stress
management services in the Netherlands, there is broad experience in
utilizing EMDR with clients who exhibit severe early symptoms following
trauma and who need 'first-aid' treatment. EMDR treatment is generally
started when there is no evidence of change or recovery within the course
of 1 or 2 weeks. Since there is a tremendous unmet need, there is an
important challenge to demonstrate in controlled research the advantages
of EMDR for those who suffer from symptoms of acute stress, for example in
emergency departments and/or the immediate aftermath of mass trauma. This presentation will focus on the rationale for early treatment with the use
of EMDR. This approach is illustrated by segments of video taped treatment

Abstract:
EMDR is een gevalideerde behandelmethode voor psychisch trauma. Maar niet altijd leidt het meemaken van een vervelende gebeurtenis tot PTSS: angsten of fobieën zullen veel vaker het gevolg zijn. In veel gevallen is de behandeling van een fobische stoornis zelfs een stuk lastiger dan van een PTSS. Dit komt omdat er meer geheugenrepresentaties moeten worden bewerkt. Een complicerende factor in de behandeling kan verder zijn dat we te maken hebben lastig, ingesleten vermijdingsgedrag (bijv. bij sociale angst) of dat een bepaalde stimulussituatie objectief vervelende kantjes heeft (bijv. bij sommige medische angsten).
In deze workshop leren de deelnemers:
- een handige manier om angsten te diagnosticeren en casuďstiek te conceptualiseren in termen van EMDR
- te beslissen in welke gevallen EMDR is aangewezen, wanneer een cognitief gedragstherapeutische aanpak (of een combinatie) beter geschikt is en hoe deze behandeling eruit ziet
- gericht angsttargets te identificeren en snel tot de juiste NCs en PCs te komen
- cliënten voor te bereiden op moeilijke of relatief onveilige stimulussituaties
Het materiaal wordt gepresenteerd aan de hand van videobeelden, demonstraties en oefeningen. De workshop is geschikt voor ervaren en minder ervaren behandelaars, zowel op het terrein van volwassenen als kinderen en jeugd.
EMDR is a validated treatment for psychological trauma but does not require the experience of an unpleasant event for PTSD: fear or phobias are more often the result. In many cases, the treatment of a phobic disorder even more difficult than one PTSD. This is because more memory representations should be modified. A complicating factor in treatment may also be that we are facing difficult ingrained avoidance behavior (e.g. social anxiety) or that a certain objective stimulussituatie nasty lace has (e.g. some medical fears).
In this workshop participants learn:
- A convenient way to diagnose anxiety and case studies to conceptualize in terms of EMDR
- To decide cases in which EMDR is appropriate when a cognitive behavioral approach (or a combination) is more suitable and how this treatment looks
- Terror targets aimed to identify and quickly correct the NCS and PCs to come
- Clients to prepare for difficult or relatively unsafe stimulussituaties
The material is presented on the video footage, demonstrations and exercises. The workshop is suitable for experienced and less experienced practitioners, both in the field of adults and children and youth.

Abstract:
Sinds de introductie van EMDR heeft het basis-protocol veel veranderingen doorgemaakt, zowel in de Verenigde Staten als daarbuiten. Voor een deel waren dat min of meer cosmetische aanpassingen, maar verscheidene aanpassingen zijn ingegeven door culturele, conceptueel-inhoudelijke of technische overwegingen. Een deel van de aanpassingen zijn afkomstig van Shapiro zelf, een ander deel is voortgekomen uit ervaringen in de praktijk. De afgelopen jaren is met name sprake geweest van tekstuele aanpassingen die er op gericht zijn de lastigste stukken in het EMDR-protocol (bijvoorbeeld de vraag: “Welke uitspraak over u zelf past daar het beste bij?”) te vereenvoudigen en (vooral) sneller en doelgerichter te komen tot - wat wij graag noemen - 'scherpstellen'.
Deze workshop is bedoeld voor iedereen die de afgelopen 3 jaar geen oficiele EMDR (basis of vervolg) opleiding heeft gevolgd. Stilgestaan wordt bij de doelstelling, de structuur en (vooral) de actuele, exacte formuleringen in het EMDR-protocol van 2005. Telkens zal worden aangegeven wat de achtergrond van de doorgevoerde aanpassingen is. De verwachting is dat het huidige protocol zich soepeler laat toepassen in de therapeutische praktijk. En dat is goed voor zowel therapeuten als patiënten.
Since the introduction of the basic EMDR protocol made many changes, both in the United States and abroad. In part, some were more or less cosmetic changes, but modifications are motivated by several cultural, conceptual, technical or substantive considerations. Some of the changes come from Shapiro herself, somechanges arose from practical experience. In recent years there has been some particular textual changes at AIM. The most difficult pieces in the EMDR protocol (e.g. the question: "Which statement best fits with yourself about you?") To simplifying and (especially) faster and targeted to achieve - what we like to call it - 'Focus'.
This workshop is for anyone over the past three years of no company EMDR Approved (or basic) education followed. Stood is the objectifying, structuring and (Especially) the current, exact genesis of the EMDR protocol or 2005. Each will be given the background to the adjustments is. The expectation is that the current protocol allows more flexible use in therapeutic practice. And that's good for bone healing therapists and patients.

Abstract:
As I engaged in a therapy journey with a single client, the possibilities for research on the
integrative use of narrative therapy and EMDR unfolded. I investigated recent literature and
realised that much had been written about narrative therapy as single approach to therapy
within the postmodern paradigm. There was also extensive writing on EMDR and its
integrative use with other therapies in assisting people who struggle with upsetting memories
of trauma.
Since I was unable to find any literature to date on the integrative use of narrative therapy
and EMDR, I realized that there was much to be discovered and learned on such an
integrative research journey.
The client's experiences and descriptions of overwhelming emotional distress (as the
problem in her life) during the process of integration was the main focus of this qualitative
case study. During our therapy conversations knowledges were gathered and
deconstructed. Video or tape recordings, photographs, work with clay, sketches, letters and
other documents were useful in keeping track of the research journey. A reflecting team and
the participation of the client's boyfriend contributed and enriched both the therapy and
research journeys.
Tydens terapeutiese werk met 'n enkele kliënt het die moontlikhede van navorsing oor die
integrasie van narratiewe terapie en EMDR vir my 'n werklikheid geword. Ek het onlangse
navorsing bestudeer en besef dat narratiewe terapie as 'n enkele benadering tot terapie
binne die post-moderne paradigma, al 'n geruime tyd lank nagevors is. Daar bestaan ook
literatuur oor EMDR en die integrasie daarvan met ander terapeutiese benaderings in die
ondersteuning van persone wat probleme ondervind met ontstellende herinnerings van
trauma.
Aangesien ek tot op hede geen literatuur oor die integrasie van narratiewe terapie en EMDR
kon vind nie, het ek vermoed dat 'n navorsingsreis op hierdie terrein verskeie ontdekkings en
die ontginning van nuwe kennis moontlik sou maak.
Die fokus van hierdie kwalitatiewe gevallestudie val op die kliënt se belewing en beskrywings
van oorweldigende emosies (as probleem in haar lewe) tydens die terapeutiese
integrasieproses. Waarhede of kennis is tydens terapiegesprekke versamel en
gedekonstrueer. Video- of bandopnames, foto's, kleiwerk, sketse, briewe en ander
dokumente was waardevol om die koers van die navorsingsreis aan te dui. Insette en
deelname van 'n refekterende span, asook die kliënt se kęrel, het beide die terapie- en
navorsingsreise verryk en uitgebrei.

Abstract:
EMDR has not achieved full acceptance as a practice model within community
mental health and agency settings. Some agencies are reluctant to develop an EMDR practice due to administrative concerns, clinical apprehensions or implementation reluctance. This resistance has constrained the development of EMDR in communities of color, those that are impoverished and often in settings where post traumatic stress is the focus of treatment. This workshop
will identify the three common areas or agency reluctance concerning EMDR and will demonstrate the use af a simple assessment tool designed to identify where thc intervention is needed to accomplish change and support EMDR integration into the agency.

Abstract:
'Mental Fitness' has nothing to do with a killer instinct or ruthless play. Rather
it is a precise way of thinking and acting under stress. Consider top athletes:
do words like cold, callous and insensitive accurately describe their
competitive performance? Hardly. Much more accurate words are flexible,
responsive, strong and resilient. The difference in 'winning' is as much in
technical and physical ability/potential than in mental performance.
Top athletes recognize that to be at their best, they must think their best.
To perform at an optimum level under high pressure (the same for top
manager, musician, fire fighters...), they need to keep their ability to make
choice at every moment.
EMDR and other techniques can help them (others tools also presented:

Abstract:
Objective: Advocates of new therapies frequently make bold claims regarding therapeutic effectiveness, particularly in response to disorders which have been traditionally treatment-refractory. This paper reviews a collection of new therapies collectively self-termed "The Power Therapies", outlining their proposed procedures and the evidence for and against their use. These therapies are then put to the test for pseudoscientific practice. Method: Therapies were included which self-describe themselves as "Power Therapies". Published work searches were conducted on each therapy using Medline and PsychInfo databases for randomized controlled trials assessing their efficacy, except for the case of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing has more randomized controlled studies conducted on its efficacy than any other treatment for trauma and thus, previous meta-analyses were evaluated. Results and conclusions: It is concluded that these new therapies have offered no new scientifically valid theories of action, show only non-specific efficacy, show no evidence that they offer substantive improvements to extant psychiatric care, yet display many characteristics consistent with pseudoscience.

Abstract:
A high proportion of patients in child and adolescent psychiatry with significant dissociative symptomatology after early childhood traumatization may go undiagnosed, be wrongly diagnosed and/or inappropriately treated. The diagnostics and treatment of dissociative disorders have been limited by lack of comprehensive, reliable and valid instruments and the ongoing polarization and fierce controversy regarding treatment. However, recent neurobiological findings of neurochemical, functional and structural cerebral consequences of early stressful childhood experiences point out a need for active, early and effective identification and treatment interventions. We present an update on assessment tools available in the Nordic countries, and an overview of different appropriate therapeutic intervention models for children and adolescents. A systematic overview of studies of dissociation in children and adolescent published over the last decade disclosed a total of 1019 references. The 465 papers describing aspects of assessment tools and/or treatment were studied in detail. Reliable and valid screening questionnaires and diagnostic interviews for children and adolescents now allow for effective early identification of dissociative disorders. A combination of individual psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and family therapy are often required to handle dissociative disorders in children and adolescents. Cognitive-behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization-Reprocessing (EMDR), psychodynamic therapy and an integrated approach are the main described psychotherapeutic approaches, but treatment of dissociation in children and adolescent does not require allegiance to any one particular treatment model. However, achievement of physical safety by providing a safe environment is a primary goal that supersedes any other therapeutic work. Assessments tools are now available, and appropriate therapeutic intervention models may hopefully contribute to reduce the risk of wrong diagnoses and inappropriate treatment of dissociative symptomatology in children and adolescents. However, controlled clinical trials of the various interventions and longitudinal outcome studies are needed.

Abstract:
This book is a commentary on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), based on my observations from clinical practice, that amplifies the relational perspective to Francine Shapiro's standard methodology. During the last 14 years I have conducted more than 5,000 EMDR sessions. The patterns of response I have seen in my clients and the latest discoveries in the neurosciences, which support my conviction in the relational imperative, have prompted me to write this commentary.The main theme of my book is that healing takes place when proper knowledge of the standard methodology is integrated into the context of the therapeutic relationship. I offer this work to enrich the reader's understanding of how I practice EMDR clinically. I have not conducted research to validate my opinions. This work is based on acute and repeated clinical observations of the many clients with whom I have had the privilege to work. [Adapted from Preface]

Abstract:
Evidence based practice has gained increased attention in recent years, having
been advanced initially by the medical professions, encouraged by various
academic institutions, increasingly required by insurance companies, and
endorsed by many professional associations. Although this represents an
important movement towards improving the quality of care available to
clients, there are legitimate concerns about what constitutes evidence. In
the past 15 years, research on EMDR has proliferated and the methodological
rigor of that work has greatly improved. Yet skepticism ahout the effectiveness
of EMDR remains and much is still unknown about the parameters of this
innovative approach to psychotherapy. This presentation will provide a
description of evidence based practice as a backdrop for examining the
current state of EMDR research with recommendations for areas of research
that are needed, methodological issues that should be considered, and the
role of practitioners in the generation of that knowledge. Findings from a
mix-methods study evaluating the effectiveness of EMDR with adult female
survivors of childhood sexual abuse will be used as an example to critique the
limitations of the gold standard approach to generating evidence based practice
and to illustrate the importance of methodological diversity in the pursuit of
knowledge about the practice of psychotherapy.

Abstract:
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a school-based group intervention
designed for children who have experienced trauma. Twenty-six children (aged
11–15 years) who were refugees or asylum-seekers from war-affected countries
participated. The manual-based intervention consisted of cognitive-behavioural
therapy (CBT) techniques and was implemented within secondary schools. The
treatment group (n = 15) received six sessions of group CBT over a 6-week period,
while the control group (n = 11) were placed on a waiting list for 6 weeks and then
invited to enter treatment. Children in the CBT group showed statistically significant,
but clinically modest improvements following the intervention, with
decreases in overall severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms. Significant
improvements were also found in overall behavioural difficulties and emotional
symptoms. Children in the waiting list control group did not show any improvements
over the same period. However, follow-up data, which were only available
for a small subset of eight children, suggest that gains in the CBT group were not
maintained at 2-month follow-up.

Abstract:
"Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing“ (EMDR) ist die Bezeichnung für eine psychotherapeutische Methode, die von der amerikanischen Psychologin Francine Shapiro entwickelt wurde (Shapiro 1998). Das Grundprinzip von EMDR besteht darin, dass die Person sich auf eine traumatische Erinnerung und die damit verbundenen Gedanken und Körperempfindungen konzentriert, während gleichzeitig die Aufmerksamkeit auf einen äußeren Reiz gelenkt wird. Ursprünglich glaubte Shapiro, dass die Induktion von schnellen rhythmischen Augenbewegungen entscheidend für die Wirkung des Verfahrens sei; es zeigte sich aber, dass auch akustische oder taktile Stimulierungen eine ähnliche Wirkung haben. Dennoch wurde die Bezeichnung EMDR als "Markenname“ beibehalten.
"Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is the name of the psychotherapeutic method that was developed by American psychologist Francine Shapiro (Shapiro 1998). The basic principle of EMDR is that the person to a traumatic memory and the related thoughts and body sensations concentrated while the attention is directed to an external stimulus. Shapiro originally thought that the induction of rapid rhythmic eye movements essential for the effect of the procedure was, it turned out, however, that even acoustic or tactile stimuli have a similar effect have. Nevertheless, the term EMDR has been retained as a "brand name".

Abstract:
It has proven that EMDR is successful in helping people who have
experienced psychological difficulties that originate from some kind of
traumatic experience. I used standard EMDR protocol successfully in single
session for two persons who experience short negative moments. One client
was a young man who had intrusive recalls of the male acquaintance telling
him about oral sex intercourse between men that happened 38 hours
before he asked for psychological help. The other client was a young nurse,
one of my colleagues, who was scolded and threatened by the husband of
a patient less than 2 hours ago before I did EMDR for her. They both had
moment of trauma was very precise and very short: the moment the words
were spoken. The recent events don't have several hot spots (difficult affect laden
moments in the experience), but just one clearly shocking moment. So
I used standard protocol and it helped stabilizing them very quickly, they
both retouched their resources quickly. Two months later, I followed up my
colleague. She was still stable and had the same positive cognition about
the negative moment.

participant's core profession, main psychological treatment orientation,
present utilization of EMDR within current clinical practice, number of clients
treated, types of referral issues, average number of sessions, and provision
for clinical supervision. In addition participants provided feedback as to their
views on their EMDR training experience. EMDR trainings were criticised in
areas which included participant involvement, group practicum's,
competency and fitness to practice, clinical supervision, post training
professional development, and the lack of any systems of assessment of
either knowledge or application of EMDR. The findings were integrated into
the development of a university based EMDR training at Masters Degree
level with multiple modes of assessment.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
As the price for surviving trauma, individuals are left with an inadequate
memory record and a host of easily re-activated neurobiological responses.
Trauma-related autonomic dysregulation prohibits processing and resolution,
and the somatic responses, divorced from the events that caused them, are
interpreted as data about the self or the world. This worksop will introduce
approaches for working with traumatically encoded somatic experience using
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a body-entered talking therapy that addresses
these non-verbal, autonomic components by using the body as the entry
point in treatment, rather than the event. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
offers simple body-oriented interventions for tracking, naming, and safely
exploring trauma-related somatic activation, modulating a dysregulated
nervous system, creating new resources and competencies, and restoring a
somatic sense of self. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can be easily integrated
into EMDR and other trauma treatments and used to enhance installation of
positive cognitions and resources or to facilitate processing and integrating
of traumatic memories.

Abstract:
EMDR is increasingly being utilized to treat highly challenging clients with a
variety of diagnoses including complex PTSD, DESNOS, and a range of
dissociative disorders. The dissociative processes commonly described as
part of the PTSD spectrum, are also predicted by early attachment difficulties
and losses. These clients may present with elements of several disorders (i.e.,
Borderline PD). Without considerable stabilization work, they may be unable
to process information safely. This presentation, through lecture, experiential
work and case presentation, will provide clinicians with a model that enables
them to provide EMDR treatment effectively with this population.
Participants will become familiar with specialized treatment planning that begins with detailed and complex history taking and pays particular attention to an extensive individualized preparation phase. They will learn how and when to integrate ego state work, somatosensory work and disociative treatment strategies in this phase and throughout EMDR protocol work. This systemic work will be understood to help patients resolve internal conflicts, deal with stabilization, affect regulation, triggering, overwhelm, dissociation, and resistance.

Abstract:
The concepts, interventions, and techniques presented in this workshop are culled from theory and techniques of
working with the range of the dissociative disorders). They have proved to be an effective addition to the preparation
stage of the EMDR protocol. In other words, they can be used with clients who dissociate under certain conditions but
do not have a dissociative disorder
Most of the traumatized clients seen for EMDR treatment have a range of dissociative symptoms as well as
symptoms of PTSD. This combination of PTSD and a dissociative disorder is often labeled DDNOS. However, people
with a more complex variety of PTSD usually have experienced very early and enduring severe physical or sexual
abuse (generally perpetrated by a family member), atrocities, war, or severe environmental disruption such as
earthquakes. They are more accurately diagnosed with disorders of extreme stress (DESNOS). For these clients, the
dissociated neural networks, or dissociative fragmentation, cause serious problems in adult life.
The adaptive information processing system is on hold for these dissociated fragments or parts. They are easily
triggered by internal or external cues to which they can have extreme reactions, (flashbacks, amnesia, losing time and
place, and so forth.)
Our goal as therapists is to use EMDR to help clients (and their internal dissociated neural networks or parts) find
stability and resources to function adaptively in their present life, and then desensitize and reprocess the dissociated
trauma memories and the PTSD symptoms.
We aim to help our clients manage their symptoms. It is not our goal to eliminate dissociation, which has been a
major survival strategy, but to help the client utilize it with conscious control.
It is important to note that attachment issues are an aspect of development that are especially impacted by trauma.
The attachment styles of the family pre trauma may have already affected the client in negative ways, impacting the
client's resources and responses to trauma.
One way to look at this set of problems is to utilize two approaches in the preparation phase of EMDR. These
approaches combine the treatment of dissociative symptoms with ego state work and are an essential aspect of treating
these clients with EMDR. This work may extend the preparation phase considerably, but will add safety and structure
to the trauma processing experiences for these clients.

Abstract:
Föreliggande studie är dels ett led i att kvalitetssäkra EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) som behandlingsmetod för barn och ungdomar och dels att utröna om behandlingen bidragit till ett förbättrat mĺende. EMDR som behandlingsmetod för barn och ungdomar har stöd i kontrollerade studier, men ytterligare forskning behövs. I den här studien deltog ĺtta barn och ungdomar med varierande diagnoser, vilka fĺtt EMDR-behandling i barn- och ungdomspsykiatrisk öppenvĺrd. Behandlingen ingick i en individualterapi i ett familjeterapeutiskt sammanhang. Barnen/ungdomarna intervjuades per telefon om hur de upplevt behandlingen och om sitt mĺende i efterförloppet. Information om diagnoser, C-GAS, antal EMDR-sessioner samt terapeutens bedömning inhämtades som komplement till intervjun. Resultaten visar att EMDR-behandlingen upplevs ha bidragit till att obehagskänslor och symtom minskade, men i olika grad, för alla intervjuade barn/ungdomar. Denna förändring kunde ocksĺ noteras i terapeutens bedömning och i de bedömda C-GAS-värdena. Alla kände sig trygga under behandlingen och tyckte att de fick tillräcklig information. Hälften tyckte att konfrontationen med de svĺra minnena var det mest obehagliga. Vissa detaljer i protokollet, sĺsom att bestämma mĺlbild, upplevdes svĺrt för över hälften. Alla intervjuade skulle rekommendera EMDR-behandling till andra. Det positiva resultatet talar för att EMDR är en användbar metod för barn- och ungdomar med traumatiska minnen, och att det är värdefullt att satsa pĺ fortsatt forskning kring EMDR med barn- och ungdomar.
The present study is the first part of ensuring the quality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a treatment for children and young people and also to determine if the treatment contributed to an improved malaise. EMDR as a treatment for children and adolescents is supported by controlled studies, but further research is needed. In this study, eight children and adolescents with various diagnoses who received EMDR treatment in child and adolescent psychiatric outpatients. The treatment was part of an individual therapy in a family therapy context. Children / young people were interviewed by telephone about their experiences and treatment of their malaise in its aftermath. Information on diagnosis, C-GAS, number of EMDR sessions and the therapist's assessment was collected as a supplement to the interview. The results show that EMDR treatment is perceived to have contributed to the discomfort and symptoms decreased, but to varying degrees, all interviewed children / adolescents. This change was also noted in the therapist's assessment and the assessed C-GAS-values. All felt safe during the treatment and felt they had enough information. Half thought that the confrontation with the difficult memories was the most unpleasant. Some details of the protocol, such as determining the vision, difficulty was experienced for more than half. All respondents would recommend EMDR treatment to others. The positive results suggest that EMDR is a useful method for children and adolescents with traumatic memories, and that it is worthwhile to invest in continued research on EMDR with children and adolescents.

Abstract:
This study investigated the intervention effects of EMDR on the trauma and behavior symptom severity of ten children, ages 8 to 11, diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). ADD is a common childhood disorder with increasing prevalence rates that raise questions concerning overdiagnosis, misdiagnoses, and possible inadequate assessment of primary, comorbid, and diffential diagnoses. ADD and trauma have comorbid symptoms that often inhibit an accurate diagnosis. Accurate assessments for ADD and trauma-related attention problems have important behavioral implications for diagnostic intervention and treatment planning. The purpose of this research was to investigate if a three-phased treatment intervention, including EMDR, would show a reduction in the trauma and behavior symptom severity in children with ADD and trauma symptoms.

Abstract:
Questo mio lavoro di tesi rappresenta una rassegna degli studi compiuti negli
ultimi anni, sui disturbi del comportamento alimentare. Negli ultimi vent’anni
molto č stato detto su questa patologia che ha attirato l’attenzione non solo di
clinici e specialisti ma anche dei mass media. Si tratta, purtroppo, di disturbi che
si stanno imponendo sempre di piů nella societŕ occidentale e che iniziano a
comparire anche nelle zone piů povere del mondo. Come sarŕ possibile notare
nel primo capitolo, questi disturbi interessano principalmente, ma non
esclusivamente, soggetti di sesso femminile e gli indici di prevalenza indicano un
valore attorno all’1% per la bulimia nervosa nelle giovani donne adulte, mentre
per l’anoressia nervosa questa percentuale oscilla attorno lo 0,3%. Dopo una
descrizione generale di queste patologie, mi sono occupata dei disturbi specifici
evidenziati dal DSM-IV, redatto dall’American Psychiatric Association nel 1996:
Anoressia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Disturbo da Alimentazione Incontrollata
(BED). Questi disturbi vengono descritti singolarmente, analizzandone i fattori di
rischio e le caratteristiche cliniche e diagnostiche; nella descrizione ho tralasciato
i fattori eziopatogenetici della Bulimia Nervosa e del BED perché sono
rintracciabili tra quelli evidenziati per l’Anoressia Nervosa.
My thesis is a review of studies made in
last year, about eating disorders. Over the past twenty years
Much has been said about this disease that has attracted the attention not only to
and clinical specialists, but also the media. This is, unfortunately, of disorders
are becoming more and more in Western society and start to
appear even in the poorest parts of the world. As you will notice
in the first chapter, these problems primarily, but not
exclusively, female subjects, and prevalence rates indicate a
value of around 1% for bulimia nervosa in young adult women, while
for anorexia nervosa, this percentage fluctuates around 0.3%. after a
general description of these diseases, I have dealt with specific disorders
highlighted by the DSM-IV, prepared by the American Psychiatric Association in 1996:
Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, binge eating disorder
(BED). These disorders are described individually, analyzing the factors
risk and the clinical and diagnostic features, I have omitted in the description
causative factors of Bulimia Nervosa and BED because they are
detectable among those highlighted for Anorexia Nervosa.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore treatment modalities for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for adolescents. This study examined current research on the treatment of PTSD by analyzing the content of books and articles written within the past 10 years.
The study was a descriptive content analysis of currently used treatment modalities for PTSD. Data analysis involved a recursive process in which themes were identified and developed over numerous readings.
The findings of this study indicated that PTSD symptomology was significantly reduced when adolescents were treated with cognitive behavioral methods. Controlled studies were located only for cognitive behavioral interventions. Pharmacological interventions were widely used to treat PTSD symptoms. However, there have been neither controlled nor open-label drug studies conducted regarding this population. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a promising new form of treatment that has yet to be examined in a rigorous manner. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) sometimes exacerbated PTSD symptoms in this population.
The results of the study indicated that more controlled research needs to be generated targeting adolescents with PTSD.

Abstract:
The utilization of EMDR will be discussed within the context of a multi-modal treatment paradigm to treat unwanted sexual attractions and to help to actualize sexual potential in an individual desiring to alter their sexual arousal patterns. Specifically, focus will be place on the ways in which childhood and adolescent traumas can derail psychosexual development and contribute to the development of these attractions. Applications of standard EMDR protocols to this treatment paradigm will be described, in terms of healing the traumas that may have contributed to the developmental of undesired sexual attractions. Furthermore, speicifc EMDR components that can enhance the actualization of sexual potential will be identified and discussed. Specific focus will be placed on parameters of utilizing this paradigm, ensuring that all treatment goals are client-driven and not reflecting the values of the therapist, and ensuring that all APA Ethical Guidelines are carefully considered.

Abstract:
Substance abuse is always a challenge for the therapist. Substance abuse
and its sequelae often mean intense suffering for the individual and huge
costs for society. Established treatment modalities, as good as they are, lack
effectiveness. Recent research in the field of neuroscience has shown that
most experience is automatically processed on sub cortical levels, i.e. by
"unconscious" interpretations that are made outside of conscious awareness.
Insight and understanding have only a limited influence on the operation of
these sub cortical processes. These findings are also applicable on addicted
people and help to create a new approach. The concept of an addiction
memory is helpful (Wolffgramm 2000: Wolffgramm 2002). It can be
understood as a form of maladaptive memory and EMDR is the tool for
resolution (Shapiro 2001). In this workshop an overview over theory and the practical aspects of EMDR treatment for substance abusers will be given.
Theory in combination with video demonstration will facilitate the transfer of
knowledge into everyday therapy.

Abstract: EMDR ist als ein effektives und ökonomisches Verfahren zur Behandlung von chronischer PTBS bei Erwachsenen anerkannt. Dieses Poster verdeutlicht die Effektivität von EMDR bei psychisch traumatisierten Kindern und Jugendlichen. Die kontrollierten Studien sind inhaltlich und in ihrer methodologischen Güte beschrieben und ausgewertet worden. Es sind sowohl singulär traumatisierte Kinder und Jugendliche nach einer Naturkatastrophe bzw. einer Explosion, wie auch sequentiell traumatisierte Kinder und Jugendliche mit sexuellem Missbrauch und Gewalterfahrungen behandelt worden. Alle Studien weisen EMDR als hoch effektiv aus. Dies gilt gleichermaßen für die Reduktion der PTB wie auch der komorbiden Symptome (Depression, Angst). Bemerkenswert ist, dass in den beiden Behandlungsvergleichen mit bewährten kognitiv-behavioralen Verfahren EMDR bei gleicher Effektivität signifikant effizienter war. Dies repliziert Ergebnisse aus dem Erwachsenenbereich (van Etten & Taylor, 1998). Obwohl die geringe Anzahl an Studien die Generalisierbarkeit der Ergebnisse einschränkt, scheint EMDR über alle untersuchten Alterstufen hinweg ein einheitliches Wirkprofil vorzuweisen.[Author abstract]

Controlled studies are described and evaluated in terms of content and its methodological quality and has been. They are both singular traumatized children and adolescents after a natural disaster or an explosion, as well as sequentially traumatized children and adolescents treated with sexual abuse and violence. All the studies point out EMDR to be highly effective. This applies equally to the reduction of the PTB as well as the comorbid symptoms (depression), anxiety. It is noteworthy that cognitively in the two treatment comparisons with best-behavioral procedures with the same effectiveness of EMDR was significantly more efficient. This replicates results from the adult participants (Van Etten & Taylor, 1998). Although the small number of studies limits the generalizability of the results, it seems EMDR track record across all age groups studied a single-action profile. [Author abstract].

Abstract:
Clients with traumatic childhood experiences and subsequent diagnoses of
Personality Disorder, hold self-identities that may have had adaptive, survival
enhancing functions during their upbringing, but may now be hindering and
even damaging. As babies their needs for secure attachment and nurturing
may have been compromised and as children they may not have
experienced unconditional love and acceptance of themselves. As adults,
they may carry internalized self-images about either being intrinsically 'bad'
or having to be especially 'good' in order to be accepted, valued and
loved by others. Subsequently, their Behaviour and their relationships with
others are determined by a distorted view of themselves, often causing
them to lead lives that involve great compromise and further suffering. They
may struggle with their capacity to regulate affect (Siegel, 1999: Shore, 1994,
1996). experiencing little self-control over their various fluctuating mood
states. The aim of this workshop is to introduce clinical techniques, involving
the interweave between EMDR and Schema-focused, cognitive
approaches, which help clients build a more secure and 6nctionally
positive sense of Self with healthy mechanisms of affect regulation. Based on current research, clinical practice and Herbert's (2002, 2003) therapeutic
framework for working with complex trauma, this workshop will focus
especially on two therapeutic ingredients for this work. One is the quality of
the therapeutic relationship as a necessary transitory phase for healthy
dependency in the client and the second is 'inner child' work as a method to
help clients modify and re-script their distorted images of self and repair
ruptures in their attachment relationships.

Abstract:
Patients with complex PTSD are a challenging patient population. Even if
concepts like the Disorder of Extreme Stress (Herman et 01.1 and the new
research on structural dissociation (Nijenhuis et al.) helps to understand these
patients better, their treatment course is often complicated. In the
treatment of these patients EMDR can be one of the key treatments
approaches in a therapy setting that usually needs to also enclose other
treatment modalities and the overall treatment plan.
The objective of this course is to help therapists use the opportunities that the
8 phase EMDR treatment plan offers and to reduce the risks for their
treatment course. Also the implications of the use of the standard protocol
for EMDR and the inverted standard protocol are discussed.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract:
Reports both in Japan and in the U.S. indicate that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be effective for the treatment of PTSD and traumatic memory. This report summarizes the treatment of an attempted murder-robbery victim using EMDR. Although she responded rather poorly to the medications, the patient showed a rapid improvement with the introduction of six 90-minute EMDR sessions, as measured by the Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) and Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS). Of particular interest was that the intrusion and hyperarousal symptoms disappeared in the early stage of the treatment; in contrast, the avoidance symptoms needed several sessions for management. Given the current controversies surrounding EMDR for the treatment for PTSD, more empirical evidence is needed to establish its efficacy. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
The main feature of EMDR is that by bilaterally
stimulating the brain trauma, phobias and other disturbing
experiences are “reprocessed” to move from one part of
the brain to the higher-thinking cortical structures of the
brain, and seem to lose their power to be disturbing. This
is the “eye movement” part. In EMDR, the therapist
moves their fingers back and forth in front of the client’s
face and the client watches by moving their eyes (not
turning their head) left right, left right. However, it has
since been discovered that any type of bilateral stimulation
works—auditory, tactile, even walking up and down,
as the body moves first the left leg and then the right.

to specifically address the processing of emotional and cognitive reactions.
Two years of experience with this new procedure show results. The
protocol will be presented and will be illustrated by video fragments. Specific issues like target selection, NC, PC and future templates will be discussed.

Abstract:
The objective of this workshop is to encourage the participants to develop
and carry out a comprehensive course for diagnostics and treatment of
trauma-related disorders.
The trauma-curricula in Schaffhausen and Sinzig were created
independently as training courses for psycho-traumatology. They are taken
as examples to clarify basic ideas on how to organize curricular-structured
seminars in the field of psycho-traumatology and trauma-therapy. The
EMDR-trainings are very well established as basic for trauma confrontation
therapy but "around EMDR" there is much more to teach that can only be
learnt over a longer period of time.
The curricular structure as a means to teach the knowledge and skills
improves the motivation of colleagues to attend the seminars. Consensus,
cooperation, and mutual recognition between other institutes and international organizations in the field of psycho-traumatology committed to
a general draft makes the acceptance even stronger.
There is consensus about the knowledge of anamnesis, diagnostics,
treatment planning, stabilization techniques, and the working through of
traumatic material. In both curricula more than one method for trauma confrontation
is taught. The more tools and skills the therapist is able to use
the easier it is to find the appropriate method for each client. So therapists
can avoid what is meant by the proverb: "if you only have a hammer you
will treat everything like a nail" (Maslow).
The first evaluation of the participants in both curricula in Schaffhausen and
Sinzig will be presented including questions about relevance. satisfaction
with structure and content as well as suggestions for improvement.

Abstract:
El Reprocesamiento y Desensibilización a través del Movimiento Ocular (EMDR) por sus siglas en inglés, es reconocido como un tratamiento efectivo y eficiente para tratar asuntos relacionados con trauma. Este artículo describe la aplicación de una intervención grupal con EMDR para nińos y adultos traumatizados por desastres naturales en varios países de Latinoamérica. Para ejemplificar la aplicación del modelo, se describe un estudio de campo medido formalmente y nueve proyectos piloto. Los prometedores resultados de esta intervención grupal sugieren que el EMDR es un medio efectivo para dar tratamiento a grandes grupos de personas afectadas por eventos traumáticos en gran escala (desastres naturales, terrorismo). Es necesaria más investigación controlada sobre este tema.
EMDR has been accepted as an effective and efficient approach in the treatment of trauma related issues. A model is described for using an EMDR group intervention for children and adults traumatized by natural disasters in several Latin American countries. To exemplify the application of the model, one formally measured field study and nine pilot projects are described. The promising outcomes of this intervention suggest that EMDR is an effective means for providing treatment to large groups of survivors affected by large scale traumatic events (natural disasters, terrorism, etc.). Anyway, more controlled research about this issue is needed. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
This workshop presents the expanded concept of the Therapeutic Interweave in EMDR treatment as it relates to responsibility, safety, and choices. It includes cognitive interweaves, as well as affective, body awareness, imaginal, ego state, experiential, dynamic, spiritual, and other interweaves. It offers a format for EMDR clinicians to utilize in decision-making in clinical pracice. The workshop also teaches assessment of the client's need to front-load their system for resourcing and stabilization, i.e., self-soothing, affect modulation, and ego strengthening before beginning or during the EMDR protocol. The workshop is rich in strategies, current case examples and specifically designed practice exercises.

Abstract:
EMDR can help couples in therapy when one or both partners experience distress which creates obstacles or impasses in treatment. The benetits of EMDR are
examined through the lens of the repetition compulsion and nested within a
resource~based approach to couples therapy (fostering attunement, trustworthness
and vitality). Different formats for conducting EMDR (conjointly, separarely, and
adjunctively) are presented along with their indicators, advantages and disavantages.
Special considerations (such as, when to introduce EMDR, balancing alliances, sequencing sessions and instructions to an observing partner) and modifications the standard protocol are clarified. Contraindications for EMDR in couples therapy are also examined.

Abstract:
As EMDR became more accepted within the psychotherapy community and more clinicians became trained, a greater number of clients with diagnoses other than PTSD were introduced to it. As a result, it became apparent that some of these more difficult, complex clients were not immediately ready for EMDR targeting and reprocessing. Many were either too unstable, had affect tolerance issues, or lacked the ego strengths to withstand the potential rigors of target desensitization. Others lacked needed coping skills, lacked the ability to recognize that they have the tools available to address their issues, or were fearful of addressing their traumatic experiences. Resource Development and Installation (RDI) strategies were developed and, over time, have been accepted within the EMDR community as valuable solutions for these challenging clients. [Text, p. 57]

Abstract:
This article reviews existing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) literature concerning its effectiveness, theory, mechanism, and procedural aspects in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Evidence from randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses indicates that EMDR is as effective as well established treatments such as exposure and cognitive behavior therapy. And moreover, EMDR may be more efficient in terms of unnecessary homework assignment and fewer treatment sessions. The current status of EMDR occupies one of legitimate and standard psychotherapeutic approaches in adult PTSD treatment. Mechanism for treatment efficacy is poorly understood at present and putative at most, however, there is a growing body of literature on neurobiological change after successful EMDR treatment.

Interest in the area of traumatic stress has grown considerably since post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was first classified as a mental health condition in 1980 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA 1980). The current classification can be viewed in Box 1. There is now a well-established literature on the effects of traumatic experience following a range of traumatic events. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE 2005) has reviewed the evidence base for the treatment of PTSD and recommended trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TFCBT) and EMDR as the two first-line treatments for PTSD.

Language: English
Format: Book Section
Abstract:
The strategic developmental model (SDM) for EMDR originated in Canada in 1996. It is a model that was born out of desperation in the face of the overwhelming treatment needs of severe- and multiple trauma victims, forensic clients, and short-term funded high-risk individuals. It is an efficient and comprehensive method for maximally delivering the benefits of EMDR to high-needs clients before their therapy might be prematurely interrupted by the realities of funding or of a multiproblem life. Such a method, I felt, would need to effectively facilitate rapid engagement and address or circumvent the fear, hostility, anxiety, and resistance that so often undermine or sabotage therapy with high-need and high-risk populations. Clinical experience also suggested the importance of having some systematic manner of assessing and treating the often multiple fundamental underlying causes of pathology and symptomatology in order to assist these high-risk and high-need clients to break the cycles and patterns that likely would repeat in their lives. I hypothesized that any process or strategies that might facilitate healing in these ways could also be anticipated to optimize therapeutic outcome for high-functioning clients and diverse client populations.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Events at birth are traumatic and create feelings of powerlessness when they
are actually or appear life-threatening to self or loved ones, are sudden,
change quickly from "normal" to dangerous without explanation, and when
the situation appears overwhelming. There is no time to prepare, no way to
plan an escape or to prevent something from happening. A number of
events during labor or birth such as unplanned interventions, serious
problems in the mother, physical damage, a sick infant, and separation from
the baby can be classified as traumatic. Major trauma for a woman occurs
in childbirth when she has inordinate fear and is in a situation where she has no control. Other aspects of trauma are more subjective and relate to how
a woman is treated and how she perceives the experience, often causing
humiliation and stigma. Trauma during the prenatal period can affect the
parents' perception of the baby, their own self-concept, their relationship,
and can impair bonding and attachment. Early trauma can have both
immediate and long-range effects on the parents and the infant and may
create later in the adult psychological and somatic conditions and a
negative self-concept. Equally important is the history the parents bring to
this event as well as the quality of their relationship. Birth is a magnet for
unresolved issues to emerge. Clinicians will learn about the causes and
effects of these early traumas as well as methods, including EMDR to
uncover, resolve, and heal them.

somatization due to childhood trauma, chronic stress, long-term
interpersonal problems, or maladaptive patterns established early in life.

Abstract:
Childhood abuse memories can be activated at significant developmental periods
or at stressful life events. Childbearing is especially vulnerable due perhaps to
uncontrollable factors such as rapid changes in the woman's body, uncertainty
and pain of labor, numerous invasive procedures, coping with medical
professionals who are strangers with authority and power, and responsibility
for a tiny, dependent infant. Participants will identify symptoms that may be
exhibited during childbearing, recognize specific triggers that activate abuse
memories and interfere with birth or parenting, and learn how to incorporate
EMDR with specific interventions to help survivors reduce fears, minimize
htrggers, promote healing and bonding.

Abstract:
Most clients who enter therapy do not have a simple problem of a single disturbing memory. More typically, clients come to therapy with a mixed presentation, of not only emotional disturbance, but also a history of conscious or unconscious choices about how best to soothe, contain, or avoid that disturbance. When the client has a problem that includes positive and negative affective components, we could say (in the language of Shapiro's Adaptive Information Processing Model) that the chain of experiential associations -- the dysfunctionally stored memory network -- has positively valued experience at the entry point into the network and disturbing material at other, less accessible places. Clients often experience this situation as one of conflicting ego states. Specifically, one ego state may be positively emotionally invested in an outcome that is an obstacle to the person's larger life goals. When this happens and the usual EMDR method of targeting negative affect is stalled, it may be useful to target the positive side of the issue, that is, an image that has a positive emotional valence. Such clients are asked to hold in mind the enjoyable aspects of a problematic wish or identity while engaging in Dual Attention Stimulation (DAS). In this way, they can process these positive aspects, "disinvest" from the problem, and go on to resolve the conflict. Several session transcripts illustrate how this approach can work in practice.

Abstract: EMDR is also an empirically validated treatment for PTSD. However, several dismantling studies have demonstrated that portions of the treatment can be removed without a detrimental effect on treatment outcome. The one component that has not been investigated is the form of exposure utilized, i.e., interrupted or “dosed” exposure. An overview of the EMDR dismantling studies will be presented along with a review of those studies that directly compared the effectiveness of prolonged exposure and EMDR. This presentation will highlight the theoretical basis and empirical observations that dosed exposure may have advantages over prolonged or continuous exposure. The potential mechanisms of action involved in “dosed” exposure procedures will be discussed.

Abstract:
Most of the effort that has been driving the increasing overlap between
talking therapy and neuroscience has come from work that is beginning
to understand the cytoarchitecture of the frontal cortex, on the one
hand, and techniques like neuroimaging on the other. Non scientists
seem to relate more easily to studies that involve humans engaged in
some kind of cerebral activity.
However, recently, therapists have begun to make what seems to be a
contribution to this overlap by developing new therapeutic techniques
for working with emotional or psychological issues; techniques that rely
less on words, suggesting that there is a neurobiological healing
process at work.

Abstract:
"Bridging the gap between research and clinical practice" is a challenging
and elusive goal. Outcome data, while critical for the legitimacy and
advancement of clinical work, often fail to translate into practical skill sets. It
is only when clinicians look beyond the data that they learn some of the
most valuable lessons of research.
In this session, we will present the results of a four-year, randomized
controlled study comparing EMDR to Prozac in the treatment of PTSD. We
will also explore the clinical and practical lessons learned throughout the
study. We will address assessment and history taking, treatment planning,
readiness for processing, target selection. transference and
countertransference, and adult versus childhood onset trauma.
We hope to give EMDR practitioners an in-depth analysis of the real-life
processes, dilemmas, and learning that took place during our protocol based
treatment outcome study. Video segments will be used to illustrate
clinical concepts and key points. And perhaps, most importantly, these
same segments will be used to demonstrate how we struggled to recognize
and learn from our own mistakes.

Language: Dutch
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Werken in het veld voor Artsen zonder Grenzen (AzG) is niet zonder risico. Hulpverleners kunnen geconfronteerd worden met aangrijpende situaties waneer zij met de noodlijdende bevolking werken, maar zij kunnen ook zelf traumatische situaties meemaken, bijv. wanneer een team onderweg wordt aangehouden door een gewapende bende.
Deze lezing gaat over de bruikbaarheid van EMDR als methodiek in de opvang van humanitaire hulpverleners. Bij AzG worden hulpverleners in het veld opgevangen door de Psycho Social Care Unit (PSCU). De PSCU verzorgt de debriefing van de hulpverleners bij terugkeer in Nederland, maar ook in het veld wanneer hulpverleners betrokken zijn geweest bij een traumatische gebeurtenis.
Deze lezing behandelt de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van EMDR binnen de methodiek van debriefing. Aan de hand van 4 casussen wordt ingegaan op de volgende vragen: In welke situaties is er aanleiding om EMDR toe te passen? Welke alternatieven zijn er? Wat levert het op en wat zijn de beperkingen? Tot slot wordt aandacht besteed aan de vraag in hoeverre EMDR past in de doelstellingen en werkwijze van debriefing.
This lecture is about the usefulness of EMDR as a methodology in the care of Humanitarian workers. By MSF aid workers in the field are captured by the Psychosocial Care Unit (PSCU). The PSCU Provides the debriefing of relief workers to return to the Netherlands, but also in the field where clause relief workers have been involved in a traumatic event.
This lecture discusses the Possibilities and limitations of the methodology of EMDR Within debriefing. Based on four case studies examinées the following questions: In what is there reason to apply "Situations EMDR? What alternatives are there? What benefits and what are ITS Limitations?

Abstract:
Over three years of repeated terrorist attacks in Israel have shown that the victims suffering from acute stress syndromes constitute the bulk of the casualties. The large number of psychological victims presents an immediate problem of hospital surge capacity. The need for alleviating acute suffering and preventing chronic, disabling posttraumatic syndromes requires organizational and clinical skills. The article reviews deployment and intervention protocols for the treatment of victims and affected staff members in a general hospital setting. [Author Abstract]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract: D
issociative processes, common in a wide variety of psychological disorders (e.g., PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, Dissociative Disorders, etc.) can interfere with effective EMDR treatment. The information processing system gets overwhelmed and shuts down, thereby barring the integration and resolution of traumatic experience. The workshop presents a model, based on recent developments in neuroscience and the neurobiology of dissociation, that guides therapeutic interventions in general and EMDR treatment in particular. Treatment planning, target selection, the use of both body-oriented (bottom-up processing) versus cognitive and ego-state (top-down processing), and other interventions are discussed. Participants will become familiar with specific interventions designed to minimize dissociative symptoms, as well as techniques that aid clients in becoming reconnected once dissociative processes have occurred. A comprehensive therapeutic approach is described that aids clients with dissociative symptoms to stay connected and thereby enhance the likelihood of efficient information processing during EMDR treatment.

Abstract:
Dissociative symptoms are common in traumatic stress syndromes (e.g., complex PTSD, disorder of extreme stress not otherwise specified [DESNOS], borderline personality disorder, and dissociative disorders). They commonly interfere with psychotherapy including EMDR treatment. It appears that the adaptive information processing system gets overwhelmed and shuts down, thereby barring the integration and resolution of traumatic experience and thus precluding positive treatment outcomes. A series of case studies by Ferrie and Lanius found that the administration of an opioid antagonist prior to EMDR treatment significantly reduced dissociative symptoms, somatization, and numbing, as well as aiding trauma processing. The present chapter describes the relevant scientific research, as well as a theoretical rationale and a protocol, for the use of opioid antagonists in trauma processing with EMDR. [Text, p. 121]

Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has been shown to be an effective treatment for PTSD. In this study, the authors evaluated the effectiveness and physiological effects of EMDR in police officers involved with on-duty shootings and who had PTSD. 6 police officers involved with on-duty shootings and subsequent delayed-onset PTSD were evaluated with standard measures, the Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale (PDS), and high-resolution brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging before and after treatment. All police officers showed clinical improvement and marked reductions in the PDS score. In addition, there were decreases in the left and right occipital lobe, left parietal lobe, and right precentral frontal lobe as well as significant increased perfusion in the left inferior frontal gyrus. In our study EMDR was an effective treatment for PTSD in this police officer group, showing both clinical and brain imaging changes. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Twelve days after the 26th of December 2004 a couple came to my private
practice, on referral from Prof. Dr. Ad de Jongh. that looked death in the
eye when the Tsunami hit Sri Lanka. The couple has four children, age four to
eleven, who survived with them. On Sri Lanka they were called 'The fortune
family'. They both had severe symptoms of Acute Stress Disorder: reliving the
disaster day and night and were, only just, managing to take care of the
children and their daily life.
They already read about EMDR and had their hopes up that I could help
them stabilize. As soon as they started telling me about their distressing
experience I noticed that, especially the woman, started reliving it. Knowing
that they had been telling everything already many times to family and friends, I asked them f I could immediately do the first EMDR session with each of them. Quite noticeable was that the experience was still in their minds with every detail and with several peaks of the most distressing
moments. In total they had three single sessions each with two-days intervals.
Their children who at first were doing relatively well had started to develop
serious symptoms and needed treatment; after the three EMDR sessions for
each of the parents they were stable and could give their full attention to
EMDR-treatment of their children, who went to Carlijn de Roos MA, clinical
child-psychologist, who leads a trauma centre for children in the
Netherlands. At the end of February the parents were still doing well and at
the time of the EMDR Europe Conference I will have seen them for a follow-up.

Abstract:
Very little is known about the mechanisms that underlie the effectiveness of EMDR. Participants will be presented with information to
facilitate their understanding of two competing hypotheses to account for EMDR effectiveness. Namely, because it uses similar processes found effective in traditional exposure treatments (reliving). Alternaitvely according to Shapiro's proposal of dual process of attention, the procedure may be successful because it elicits distancing responses. Participants will be able to describe how these competing hypotheses were investigated. The responses made by 44 participants with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) were examined during their first EMDR treatment session. Participants will be able to describe the key process variable found to be effective in EMDR treatment of trauma memories and the extent to which this process is determined by eye movement or by therapist instructions.

Abstract:
Este libro, el primero sobre EMDR escrito por un grupo de profesionales argentinos, incluye tres partes: La primera es “ Trauma y Teorías asociadas ”: en estos capítulos se explora la historia de las teorías actuales, llegando a la redefinición de algunas categorías diagnósticas, consecuencia de una nueva manera de ver el efecto de las experiencias traumáticas sobre los individuos. Proceso que involucra aspectos biológicos, psicológicos, familiares y sociales.
La segunda parte, “ EMDR: un nuevo abordaje terapéutico ”, incluye capítulos teóricos sobre el método bajo la supervisión de los trainers habilitados por el EMDR Institute. Los capítulos van desde la teoría básica del EMDR, pasando por la creatividad hasta llegar a la compleja especulación neurobiológica de su funcionamiento.
El conocimiento del cerebro junto con “la inspiración de la Dra. Shapiro que condujo al descubrimiento y desarrollo del EMDR, son los puntales del método y su vínculo con la creatividad. El reprocesamiento con EMDR es también un proceso esencialmente creativo, fundamental para poder levantar el bloqueo resultante del trauma. La relación terapéutica que se instala durante el reprocesamiento de EMDR puede ser conceptualizada como un proceso co-creativo (D. Grand Ph.D.)
La tercera parte incluye casos clínicos, como corresponde a un libro dedicado a una técnica de demostrada eficacia.
This book, the first on EMDR written by a group of Argentine professionals, consists of three parts: the first is "Trauma and associated theory": these chapters explores the history of current theories reaching the redefinition of some diagnostic categories, result of a new way to see the effect of traumatic experiences on individuals. Process involving biological, psychological, family and social aspects.
The second part, "EMDR: a new therapeutic approach", includes theoretical chapters on the method under the supervision of the enabled trainers by the EMDR Institute. Chapters range from basic theory of the EMDR, passing through the creativity to complex operation neurobiological speculation.
Knowledge of the brain along with "the inspiration of the DRA." Shapiro that led to the discovery and development of the EMDR are the underpinnings of the method and its link with the creativity. Reprocessing with EMDR is also a process essentially creative, fundamental to lift the trauma resulting blocking. The therapeutic relationship installed during reprocessing of EMDR can be conceptualized as a co-creative process (D. Grand Ph.d..)

Abstract:
Objective: Lifetime history of sexual abuse is estimated to range between 15% and 25% in the general female population. People
who are sexually abused are at greater risk for a whole host of physical health disorders that may occur many years after the abusive
incident(s). Despite the high prevalence of this trauma and its association with poor health status, abuse history often remains hidden
within the context of medical care. The aims of this review are to determine which specific health disorders have been associated
with sexual abuse in both women and men, to outline the types of sexual abuse associated with the worst health outcome, to discuss
some possible explanations and mediators of the abuse/health relationship, to discuss when and how to talk about abuse within a
clinical setting, and to present evidence for which psychological treatments have been shown to improve the mental health of
patients with past sexual abuse. Method: To meet these objectives, we have reviewed a wide literature on the topic of sexual abuse.
Results: We demonstrate that abuse appears to be related to greater likelihood of headache and gastrointestinal, gynecologic, and
panic-related symptoms; that the poor health effects associated with abuse are also seen in men; that abuse involving penetration
and multiple incidents appears to be the most harmful, and that exposure-type therapies with and without cognitive behavioral
therapy hold promise for those with abuse history. Conclusion: We need more research examining psychological treatments that
might be efficacious in treating the physical health problems associated with sexual abuse history.

Marsha Linehan's dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a wonderfully effective treatment for people with borderline personality. It is a non-blaming, compassionate, therapeutic approach, based solidly on research data about what borderline personality disorder (BPD) is and how to treat it effectively. I have used the techniques of DBT for the past 9 years in trauma and abuse recovery groups for women. DBT provides a solid foundation for the group. EMDR, adjunct therapies, and other trauma related resources complete DBT by including the treatment of trauma within the group setting. The groups are successful in that the intensity of symptoms decreases and the group members report feeling increased competency regulating their emotions. [Adapted from Text, p. 263] [Pilots]

Abstract:
Your recent newspaper column regarding the person experiencing trauma after her Toyota was rear-ended by some guy going 70 mph invited me to add my thoughts: I am a psychologist in Minnesota and have treated a number of car-crash victims just like your reader. They are indeed suffering from a form of post-traumatic stress disorder, and can easily be helped by a therapeutic procedure called EMDR -- eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Don't ask me to explain how it works, but believe me, it does. I have treated car-crash victims, carjacking victims, rape victims and holdup victims with the same method of EMDR.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Based an a relatively simple protocol for finding targets specific to the partners' issues, this approach is especially effective with couples who tend to want to spend sessions complaining about each other and recounting the conflicts of the past week. Equal time will be devoted to identifying targets and then developing them using the basic principles of Ahsen's Eidetic Psychotherapy and a modified version of Walkins' "affect bridge." Methods will be taught to overcome resistance and difficulties clients have with accessing memories. Through case transcripts and participation exercises, the basics of this protocol will be explained and demonstrated.

Abstract:
To quote the review of the hardcover in KLIATT, September 2005: Sixteen-year-old Anna kills her brother's girlfriend Cameron in a car crash after drinking at a party, but she was not drunk. Her best friend Ellen is also seriously injured. To make matters worse, Anna and her brother have an emotionally abusive father, a weak and distant mother, and this problem has driven a wedge into their relationship even before the trauma of the accident. This is a story of grief and the different ways people are changed by extreme events and how they heal. It is also the story of the power of friendship and the need for other people in our lives and suggests the necessity of forgiveness for the weakness of others. In addition, it explores the use of EMDR therapy to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. Frank's use of language and her powerful flashbacks, accompanied by her insight into the human condition, make this novel rich and compelling, one whose images linger in the memory after the last page. Frank (author of America, Friction, and Life is Funny) allows her characters to speak for themselves. No authorial voice jumps in to make pronouncements. The characters chide, comfort, warn, and get angry at each other and ultimately their interactions are an essential part of the healing process. This novel's themes and execution make it an excellent read for all adolescents, though younger teens may not appreciate it as much as older teens because of its sophisticated imagery.

was found that stabilization was very significant in helping the patient to
regain security. control and self-management for his emotion. This result was
strongly supported by results of two subsequent Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) undergraduate student patients. Moreover, compared to
former Panic Attack cases. which were treated by using supportive skills?
stabilization was found to be far more effective than supportive skills. It was
profoundly effective in helping the patient to be empowered to manage
their own emotions and to regain security and control.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
Compulsions and cravings such as gambling and sex compulsions have been the subject of behavioral and psychodynamic treatment. This study formulates a new theory of compulsions and cravings, called the Feeling-State Theory of Compulsions, and utilizes a technique called the Eye Movement Compulsion Protocol (EMCP) for decreasing both the feelings and behavior. The Feeling-State Theory postulates that positive feelings and behavior are fixated in the body during an intense experience, creating the feeling-state. The result is that, when the person desires that feeling again, the feeling-state including the behavior is recapitulated. Just as the use of eye movements in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been shown to reduce Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the EMCP technique utilizes eye movements to decrease the feeling-state associated with compulsions. The present study utilizes a multiple baseline single case research design with 4 subjects. Skin conductance levels (SCL) and a self-report scale (SUES) are the dependent variables. Two of the subjects provide support for both the theory and the EMCP technique. Both the change in SCL and the SUES values for 1 compulsion are clearly decreased post-intervention while the other compulsions values remain relatively stable. One of the other 2 subjects provided less clear support for the theory and technique but reveals some unexpected interactions between compulsions. The other subject's baseline values did not remain stable enough for a clear result but did not contradict the results of the other subjects. The conclusion is reached that the overall results of the study support the Feeling-State Theory of Compulsions and the usefulness of the EMCP technique to decrease compulsions and cravings. Although the findings in this study can not be conclusive because of the small number of subjects, the results do open up new approaches for research.

Abstract:
Deficits in concentration and memory are some of the most persistent symptoms
of PTSD. Although many studies have investigated neuropsychological
deficits in different trauma populations with and without PTSD, no study to
our knowledge has looked carefully at improvement of neuropsychological
functioning after psychotherapy. In the present study, we randomly assigned
individuals to either Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
therapy (n=60) or Brief Eclectic Psychotherapy (BEP; n=60). Attention and
memory were investigated before and after treatment using the following
neuropsychological tests: Trail Making Test, STROOP task, Verbal Learning
and Memory Test and Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test. Different versions
of the memory tests were administrated at pre- and postassessment in order
to control for learning effects. Preliminary results of treatment completers
are presented, and the clinical relevance of the findings is discussed.

Abstract:
Previous studies on rapid eye movement sleep have demonstrated the effect of eye movement on emotional memory. However, the brain mechanism involved in the influence of the eye movement on the emotional recall remains unclear. We investigated the prefrontal response during an emotional memory recall with and without eye movement. Ten healthy volunteers were recruited. The changes in concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin ([oxy-Hb]) in the prefrontal cortex were examined using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during a task that involved emotional recall with and without eye movement. Six participants demonstrated a significant increase in [oxy-Hb] during emotional recall, and the level of increase was reduced through repeated emotional recall with eye movement. The results suggest that eye movement is associated with a reduction in the hemodynamic response to emotional memory recall

Abstract:
Er zijn, zover bekend, zeven artikelen verschenen over de toepassing van EMDR bij DIS. Young (1994) beschrijft de toepassing van EMDR gericht op de fobische symptomen bij DIS. Paulsen (1995) komt met een theoretisch model gebaseerd op neuronale netwerken voor de dissociatieve stoornissen. Volgens Paulsen zorgt EMDR voor de her-associatie van het gedisscocieerde materiaal. Zij maant echter tot behoedzaam gebruik van EMDR, zeker bij de ernstige dissociatieve stoornissen. Anderen maken melding dat, vaak aangepaste versies van, EMDR zinvol kan zijn als een beperkte toegevoegde techniek in de behandeling van DIS (Lazrove & Fine, 1996; Chemtob, Tolin, Van Der Kolk, & Pitnam, 2000; Twombly, 2000; Fine & Berkowitz, 2001). Gelinas (2003) gaat nog verder en stelt een behandeling voor waarin een gemodificeerde vorm van van EMDR wordt gecombineerd met een ‘fase georiënteerde trauma behandeling’.
In deze presentatie staat de behandeling van een 44 jarige, zeer ernstig getraumatiseerde vrouw met DIS centraal. Zij volgt sinds eind 1997 een cognitief-gedragstherapeutische therapie. In september 2004 is er gestart met EMDR. Mede aan de hand van videofragmenten wordt het half jaar durende verwerkingsproces verteld, van één van de vele trauma’s die de cliënte heeft meegemaakt. Te zien valt onder meer hoe met behulp van EMDR specifieke informatie van de diverse alters zodanig geďntegreerd wordt, dat volledige verwerking mogelijk blijkt te zijn. Er zal aandacht besteed worden aan de specifieke wijze waarop bij deze behandeling met EMDR moest worden omgegaan.
There are known to be seven articles about the use of EMDR in DIS. Young (1994) describes the application of EMDR focused on phobic symptoms in DIS. Paulsen (1995) with a theoretical model based on neural networks for the dissociative disorders. According to Paulsen EMDR allows for the re-association of the gedisscocieerde material. It urges, however, to cautious use of EMDR, especially in severe dissociative disorders. Others have reported that, often modified versions of, EMDR can be useful as a limited added technique in the treatment of CIS (Lazrove & Fine, 1996; Chemtob, Tolin, Van Der Kolk, & Pitnam, 2000, Twombly, 2000, Fine & Berkowitz, 2001). Gelinas (2003) goes further and proposes a treatment for which a modified form of EMDR is combined with a phase-oriented trauma treatment.
In this presentation, the treatment of a 44 year old woman with very severely traumatized central CIS. It follows since the end of 1997 a cognitive-behavioral therapy. In September 2004 has started with EMDR. Partly on the basis of video clips, the half-year process told by one of the many traumas that the client has experienced. Is to see how including using EMDR specific information from the various alters so integrated that complete processing proves impossible. Attention will be paid to the specific manner in which this treatment with EMDR should be handled.

Abstract:
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

Language: English

Abstract:
A multitude of published books and papers on child sexual abuse (CSA) describe symptoms, long-term effects, and therapy for survivors of abuse. However, the parallels between the nature of the sexual trauma event(s) as originally experienced by the victim and the therapeutic process into which the survivor later becomes engaged have not been reported. This paper attempts to fill that gap and proposes that the concept of a "Wall of Fear" is the bridge connecting the two. In the first part of the paper, a model of the CSA experience based upon Furniss will be explained in order to point out the basis for the dissociation and other symptomology demonstrated by the CSA victim. Following that, the stages of therapy will be mapped out, with special attention to the concept of the Wall of Fear and traumatic memory resolution (abreactions) and with reference to the experience of the original traumatic events. Therapist fear of decompensation will be addressed. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Clients with complex and severe trauma histories require stabilization of
symptoms, and containment of affect before ever beginning EMDR. A wealth
of stabilization tools helps mitigate the impact of dysregulated affect and
physiology. The tools reduce risk of retraumatization, client loss of hope,
and abandonment of treatment. They also protect practitioners from
reenacting unprocessed client material, ethical and clinical error, and therapist
overwhelm. The presenters will identify risks and manifestations of client
affect dysregulation, bridging theory and practice, and equipping participants
with both a rich toolkit of specific tactics, as well as a decision process for
matching tool and circumstance.

Abstract:
It often has been theorized that psychopaths have a fundamental deficit
with respect to emotions (Cleckley, 1976). They would be unable to
experiment acute emotional reactions, like posttraumatic stress. The study
compares posttraumatic stress between psychopaths and non psychopaths.
as defined by the Hare Psychopathy Checklist (1991). The specific
contribution of factor 1 (narcissistic characteristics) and factor 2 (behavioral
characteristics) of psychopathy is analysed. The population includes 44 Belgian male offenders coming from a forensic hospital. Traumatic stress is
assessed by the Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire ISASRQ (Cardena, Classen, Koopman, & Spiegel, 1996). The authors will discuss the
therapeutic implications.

Abstract:
Homicide perpetrators present a high prevalence of major mental disorders,
particularly major depression associated with a substance diagnostic, and
schizophreny (Cote & Hodgins, 1992). Recently, it has been suggested that
the homicide behaviour itself may be conceived as a traumatic event
generating multiple symptoms (Gray, et a1., 2003; Pollock. 1999}. This study
assesses the relations between homicide and traumatic stress in a Belgian
prison population, on the basis of a self-report questionnaire (SASRQ).
Therapeutic implications of the results and relevance of EMDR practice in
homicide populations will be discussed.

Format: Book Section
Abstract:
The Desensitization of Triggers and Urge Reprocessing (DeTUR) model and the theories involved are based on experience from personal client observation and anecdotal reports received from other therapists using this same protocol. It is an eclectic model and combines many methodologies, including but not limited to cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, Ericksonian hypnosis, narrative, object relations, and emotional freedom techniques (EFT), to name a few. The bilateral stimulation (BLS) in the accelerated information processing model of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) seems to form the catalyst for rapid processing and change, the turbocharger that speeds the healing process.This protocol represents only a small part of a complete treatment model. The therapist's role is that of a case manager, orchestrating any resources necessary to aid the patient through recovery and relapse to a successful and healthy state of functioning and coping. The therapist has to assess the severity of the addiction and also determine any other diagnosis associated with the case. This overall treatment model includes outside help, such as referrals for medication, testing for physical or neurological problems, and, depending on the situation, inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, or detox. Other outside resources include support systems, such as 12-step groups, educational programs, skills training; couples, group, or family therapy; or acupuncture. Comorbidity issues, day-to-day stressors, and survival issues are addressed. An extremely high percentage of these populations are dually diagnosed and can therefore run the full dimensional spectrum of disorders and behaviors as described in the DSM-IV.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Prolonged exposure and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing
(EMDR) are two empirically validated treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). EMDR has several treatment components and findings from
dismantling studies indicate that portions of the treatment can be removed
without detrimental effects on treatment outcome. The treatment component
that has not been tested in a dismantling study is the form of exposure
utilized (i.e., “dosed” exposure). This study compared the efficacy and efficiency
of prolonged exposure and a dismantled version of EMDR, here
labeled “dosed” exposure, for individuals diagnosed with PTSD. The treatments
are compared in terms of the participant’s progress, as well as the
rate of treatment response. Initial findings from this study will be presented
and discussed.

Abstract:
What is EMDR? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization
and Reprocessing) is a powerful and relatively new form of psychotherapy which has been very successful in helping people
who suffer from trauma, anxiety, panic, disturbing memories, post traumatic stress, and many other emotional challenges.
The EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation (eye movement, tactile stimulation, or acoustic stimulation) which repeatedly
activates the opposite sides of the brain, releasing emotional experiences that are Atrapped@ in the nervous system. This assists
the neuro‑physiological system, the basis of the mind/body connection, to free itself of blockages and reconnect itself.

Abstract:
Clients who have experienced traumatic events, as
well as complex issues, such as substance abuse/
addiction, personality disorders, chronic and/or
severe mental illness often have significant skill
deficits in the area of emotion regulation. This
presentation will explain the concepts of emotion
regulation and dysregulation and the behavioral
manifestations of emotion dysregulation. Clients'
difficulty in regulating emotion can interfere with
their ability to process traumatic memories with a
minimum of re-traumatization and relapse in or a
worsening of symptoms. Phase-based trauma
treatment was conceptualized to assist clients in
developing adequate emotion regulation skills
during a preliminary phase of therapy prior to
trauma processing. This presentation will offer
rationale for phase-based treatment with certain
client populations. This presentation will show how sessions of trauma processing with EMDR can be
integrated into the second level of phase-based
trauma treatment, replacing the utilization of
exposure therapy for trauma processing.
Additionally, this presentation will establish how
skills learned in the initial phase of trauma
treatment can be employed during EMDR positive
resource development and as cognitive interweaves
during EMDR trauma processing. Case and
videotape examples will be utilized throughout the
presentation to illustrate topics presented in lecture and discussion.

Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was the first severe and readily
transmissible new disease to emerge in the 21st century (WHO, May, 2003).
Mainland China was one of the SARS prevailing countries during April to
June in 2003. In confront this severe situation, psychologists and professionals
working in the mental health area showed soon reactions on it. The paper
will introduce their work in the following aspects: (1) Psychological
education. (2) Mental assistance hotlines. (3) Psychological intervention: The
work has been done in three aspects, one was to help medical doctors,
nurses and other staff who worked in the SARS wards. The second was to
encourage the SARS patients facing the disease and fighting with it. The
third was that giving bereavement counselling for the people who lost their
relatives and friends for SARS.
Except the above reactions, professionals have also taken a serious
consideration on the disaster intervention system in mainland China. Several
suggestions have been raised and they are devoting a great effort to
promote new program for setting up the system.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an
inventive, popular and highly controversial treatment. Within the
scientific and professional community, there is divergent support
for each side of this debate. The heart of this controversy critically
examines the question of whether EMDR is as efficacious
as other well-established interventions for the treatment of PTSD.
The efficacy of EMDR could be due to its employment of a variety
of clinically sound therapeutic procedures, such as those similar
or the same as Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and not because
of its centerpiece eye-movements. Indeed, some researchers
have argued that the eye-movements are completely unnecessary and that EMDR is best understood as an exposure technique
(Renfrey & Spates, 1994; Davidson & Parker, 2001; Lohr,
Lilienfeld, Tolin & Herbert, 1999). EMDR may be an effective
treatment for non-combat related PTSD but is not effective for
PTSD etiologically related to combat induced trauma. Thus there
are three questions that serve as the focus of this evaluation: is
EMDR qualitatively different than Prolonged Exposure Therapy;
are the eye-movements necessary for treatment efficacy; and is
EMDR effective for combat-related PTSD?

Abstract:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety
disorder, which occurs after exposure to
overwhelming stress like combat, rape, serious
accidents, violent crime and other catastrophic events.
The essential characteristics of the condition are
recurrent intrusive memories, images, thoughts or
dreams of the trauma, persistent arousal, emotional
numbing and avoidance of the situations reminiscent of
the trauma. 15-20% of individuals experiencing significant
trauma are known to develop PTSD [1]. Although
anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, antipsychotic and
antidepressant drugs have been tried, none have been
consistently associated with improvement [2]. Eye
Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is
being increasingly utilized as a valid method of treatment
for this distressing condition [3-7]. Ego Strengthening
(ES) is a sequence of simple psychotherapeutic
suggestions given under hypnosis [8]. A long standing
case of PTSD treated with EMDR and ES is reported.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
Our lab specialized in the study of behavioral/cognitive changes following focal brain lesions. Phenomena were once considered mere curiosities - such as phantom limb, anosognosia and synesthesia - have now become "main stream"
partly as a result of the work done by us and many colleagues throughout the
world. This lecture will focus on disturbances in body image, phantom limbs, anosognosia (denial of paralysis) and somatoparaphrenia (denial of ownership of a limb). A new theory will be advanced to account for these, especially the
latter two in terms of asymmetries between the two hemispheres "coping styles"; the left involved in "Freudian defences" aud the right playing thc role of a "devils advocate" or anomaly detector. The spectrum of normal and abnormal personality styles and behavior emerges from a push-pull antagonism between
these two opposing tendencies. Vestibular stimulation through calorie cold-water
irrigation produces eye movements (nystagmus) and shifts the balance between the two hemispheres during the "orienting" response and produces profound shifts in mood and/or body image. We found that the procedure "de-represses"
apparently repressed memories in patient with denial (anosognosia) and there is
an obvious analogy here with the therapeutic claims of EMDR. The possibility
that bipolar disorder may be based on such alternation between hemispheres was
first proposed by us in 1996 and has received some support. Consequently caloric nystagmus might potentially be useful in treating disorders such as bipolar, post-traumatic stress, complex regional pain type 1, and other neuro-psychiatric disturbances as outlined briefly in my book Phantoms in the Brain.

Abstract:
Quantum theory is the "science of possibility."
The 2004 documentary film, "What the Bleep.. . "
presents quantum/holographic concepts that
challenge assumptions about the nature of reality
and the healing process. In this discussion-based
and experiential workshop, we will examine
EMDR with two of these principles: 1) Belief
creates reality. A subatomic particle (a tiny piece of matter) always behaves like a wave, spread out all over space, until it is looked at. It only manifests as a particle when it is being observed. Thus, human consciousness plays a central role in quantum theory. That is, we create our own reality. 2) The part contains the whole. This holographic concept is best illustrated by the
cloning of a sheep from a single DNA cell. In
profound trauma, painful experiences of
powerlessness are reduced into more manageable
holographic fragments (such as a physical
symptom, a distinctive odor, etc.) which contain
the whole event. Triggering these unresolved
holographic encodings floods the nervous system
with the whole traumatic memory. EMDR
facilitates resolution of these holograms. The brain may use holograms for memory storage and
retrieval, and EMDR appears to amplify this
process. Quantum concepts will be explored to
illuminate aspects of EMDR in new and creative
ways. Participants will leam dynamic strategies
to enrich EMDR treatment by incorporating
quantum/holographic principles.

Francine Shapiro's eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment and training manual (1995, 2001) was translated into Persian and reviewed for cross-cultural adaptation. The EMDR Persian translated edition was clinically tested in the earthquake stricken regions of Bam and Zarand in southern Iran. Therapists using this manual provided feedback in the form of an email questionnaire. According to this feedback, the manual was useful for training therapists to administer EMDR therapy in Iran. A more recent proposal for the neurobiological basis of EMDR therapy, which I have co-authored, is presented in this dissertation project. It addresses EMDR as a physical healing process that will have further acceptance by Iranians and the Iranian medical community. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract:
Prolonged exposure (PE) is an empirically validated treatment for PTSD.
However, there remain issues surrounding the optimal length of exposure
sessions, the efficacy of prolonged exposure vis-a-vis other behavioral (Foa et
al., 1999), cognitive (Resick et al., 2002), cognitive-behavioral (Feske &
Chambless, 1995), and EMDR (Ironson et al., 2002) interventions, whether
patterns of symptom change differ between PE and cognitive treatments
(Nishith, et al., 2002), and those variables that predict significant amounts of
variance in treatment outcome (Tarrier, Sommerfield, Pilgrim, & Faragher,
2000). In this presentation, I will discuss the theoretical basis of prolonged
exposure therapy, review the comparative outcome literature surrounding
prolonged exposure, and summarize empirical research findings with regard
to its efficacy and optimal use. Mechanisms of action involved in PE will be
discussed with an emphasis on providing a context for the subsequent
papers in the Poster.

Abstract:
EMDR, a technique pioneered by therapist Francine Shapiro in 1987, is a form of behavior modification that helps clients identify what triggers the undesired reaction, and desensitizes them to it. For example, in a grooming disorder case, Schoeppel asks a woman who plucks her eyelashes out what is going on when this happens. Then, using rapidly moving lights and methodical tapping on the hands, she programs a new thought pattern that helps suppress the urge to do the bad habit.

significant psychophysiological dearousal in terms of a decrease of HR and
a significant increase of parasympathetic tone.
Both the deconditioning hypothesis (dearousal during session) as well as the
accelerated information processing hypothesis (enhancement of
parasympathetic tone during stimulation) are supported by our empirical
results.

Abstract:
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia: Insights into Autonomic Function in PTSD: Studies of cardiac responses to trauma-related cues have defined the mainstream of laboratory research in posttraumatic stress disorder. Examinations
of respiratory sinus arrhythmia now challenge the view that exaggerated sympathetic tone and reactivity provide a sufficient account of the autonomic abnormalities seen in this diagnosis.
Alterations in autonomic tone during trauma therapy with EMDR: It has been hypothesized that EDMR, by pairing stimuli that evoke divided
attention with exposure to trauma memories, elicits repetitive orienting
responses followed by enhanced parasympathetic tone, resulting in significant
within-session psychophysiological de-arousal. We monitored 10 standard
EMDR treatments for PTSD (55 sessions) with impedance cardiography.
Heart rate (HR), parasympathetic tone (RMSSD), sympathetic tone (PEP), and
respiration rate (RESP) were assessed. Markers were set at the onset of every
stimulation/exposure period (N = 811). Effects within and across stimulation
sets were examined. An orienting response, with associated sharp increase
of parasympathetic tone and significant decrease of HR, was found at stimulation
onsets. During ongoing stimulation, sympathetic arousal increased
while parasympathetic tone decreased, responses consistent with stressrelated
arousal during trauma exposure. However, across entire sessions
there was a significant pattern of psychophysiological de-arousal, evidenced
by progressively decreasing HR and increasing RMSSD.
These findings suggest EMDR is associated with distinct patterns

Abstract:
Das Traumabearbeitungsverfahren EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) kombiniert die imaginäre Exposition mit der traumatischen Erinnerung mit repetitiver Stimulation durch Augenbewegungen oder durch taktile bzw. auditive Reize. Während die Wirksamkeit des EMDR gut belegt ist, sind die spezifischen Wirkungen der bilateralen Stimulation noch weitgehend unbekannt. Wir führten ein psychophysiologisches Monitoring mittels Impedanzkardiographie aller EMDR-Behandlungssitzungen ( N= 55) bei 10 Patienten mit PTSD durch. Aufgezeichnet wurden Herzfrequenz (HR), Parasympathikotonus (RMSSD), Sympathikotonus (PEP), und Atemfrequenz (RESP). Beginn und Ende der Stimulationsperioden (N = 811) wurden markiert. Es fand sich ein steiler Anstieg des Parasympathikotonus verbunden mit einem signifikanten Abfall der Herzfrequenz zu Beginn der Stimulationsperioden, entsprechend dem psychophysiologischen Reaktionsmuter einer deutlich ausgeprägten Orientierungsreaktion. Im weiteren Verlauf der Stimulation nahm der Parasympathikotonus wieder ab und der Sympathikotonus nahm zu, was sich als Stresseffekt während der Exposition interpretieren lässt. Im Sitzungsverlauf zeigte sich jedoch eine signifikante Abnahme der Herzfrequenz und eine Zunahme des Parasympathikotonus. Unsere Befunde weisen darauf hin, dass es während EMDR-Sitzungen zu einem signifikanten psychophysiologischen Dearousal kommt. Die Stimulation durch Augenbewegungen scheint eine Orientierungsreaktion auszulösen, die über eine passagere Erhöhung des Parasympathikotonus eine Entspannungsreaktion auslöst. Es stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit die von uns beobachteten psychophysiologischen Reaktionen mit dem Therapieerfolg korrelieren.[Author abstract]
The EMDR trauma processing method (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) combines the imaginary exposure to the traumatic memory with repetitive stimulation of eye movements or tactile or auditory stimuli. While the effectiveness of EMDR is well documented, the specific effects of bilateral stimulation are still largely unknown. We conducted a psycho-physiological monitoring using impedance cardiography of EMDR treatment sessions (N = 55) of 10 patients with PTSD. Recorded were heart rate (HR), parasympathetic tone (RMSSD), sympathetic (PEP) and respiratory rate (RESP). Beginning and end of the stimulation periods (N = 811) were selected. There was a steep increase in parasympathetic tone associated with a significant decrease in heart rate at the beginning of the stimulation periods, according to the psycho-physiological Reaktionsmuter a clearly marked orientation reaction. In the course of the stimulation of the parasympathetic tone took off again and the sympathetic tone increased, which can be interpreted as a stress effect during exposure. During the session, however, showed a significant decrease in heart rate and an increase in parasympathetic tone. Our findings indicate that occurs during EMDR sessions to significant psychophysiological Dearousal. The stimulation of eye movements seems to trigger a policy response that triggers a transient increase in parasympathetic tone a relaxation response. This begs the question of the extent to which we have observed psychophysiological responses correlate with treatment success. [Author abstract]

Abstract:
A traumatized adolescent, sensitive to rejection and exposed to real threat by the perpetrator who caused past traumatisation, would seem to have an insecure base for therapeutic treatment. Such a patient may have difficulty developing resources according to the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)-resource installation procedure and accepting EMDR-cognitive interweaves. Treatment of such a patient demonstrates that therapy is possible, if the patient is given the possibility to confront the perpetrator in an imaginary anticipatory situation and process that event with EMDR, even though not all past and current issues have been completely treated.[Author abstract]

Abstract:
Whether eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) causes reactivation of epilepsy is as yet unclear. A 34-year-old woman was treated in an inpatient multimodal psychotherapeutic setting with EMDR for PTSD resulting from sexual harassment and for a moderate depressive episode. She had been diagnosed with idiopathic generalized absence epilepsy in childhood, but had experienced no seizures under lamotrigine medication since 1999. After the second EMDR session, clinical seizures in the form of absences occurred, and were validated by electroencephalography. The seizures ceased after medication with benzodiazepines and an increase in the lamotrigine level. She underwent four more sessions of EMDR treatment successfully without further seizures. Possible triggers are discussed, especially as to whether EMDR treatment played a role in reactivating epilepsy. Further research and publications on the application of EMDR in epilepsy patients are needed.

Abstract:
The efficacy of psychotherapeutic and pharmacotherapeutic approaches in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be regarded as empirically demonstrated. Overall, effect sizes seem to be higher for psychotherapy as compared with medication. Psychotherapy for PTSD includes the following approaches: cognitive-behavioral therapy; eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR); psychodynamic therapy; and brief eclectic psychotherapy. Treatment for PTSD should not focus exclusively on specific symptoms such as flashbacks and avoidance, but on basic life changes and existential questions as well, since such issues are of relevance for patients who suffer from chronic PTSD.

Abstract:
Depuis le diagnostic du syndrome de stress post-traumatique (SSPT) a été introduit dans le DSM-III en 1980, une variété d'approches psychothérapeutiques ont été développées pour résoudre les problčmes et besoins spécifiques des patients traumatisés. Le succčs du traitement du SSPT a besoin d'un bien pensée sur l'attitude thérapeutique. Le thérapeute doit trouver une position équilibrée entre les sur-identification et de se détourner de l'impuissance. Une attitude la recherche de sensations doivent ętre évités de męme que le risque de traumatisme du fait d'autrui. Dans de nombreux cas, le SSPT peut pas ętre traité suffisamment par la psychothérapie seule: un plan complet de traitement multi-modal peut comprendre pharmacothérapeutique, les interventions physiques, sociaux, juridiques et autres. Les premičres interventions psychothérapeutiques au lendemain d'un événement traumatique suivre les rčgles d'intervention de crise (immédiateté, l'accent sur les problčmes actuels de limitation de temps). Une attention particuličre devrait ętre accordée aux questions de développement d'une relation de confiance thérapeutique, en créant une atmosphčre de sécurité, aider le patient ŕ reprendre le contrôle de et / ou se distancier de souvenirs intrusifs. traitements de désensibilisation des mouvements oculaires et retraitement (EMDR) et d'autres «pouvoir» peut offrir un soulagement rapide des symptômes. Aprčs un traumatisme collectif, des débriefings psychologiques sont largement utilisés, bien que la preuve de leur utilité dans la prévention de l'ESPT est discutable. Chez les patients porteurs chroniques du SSPT, le psychothérapeute ne devrait pas travailler exclusivement sur l'événement traumatique et ses séquelles: le traitement doit ętre orientée vers l'avenir plutôt que par le passé. Au lieu de l'exploration, le thérapeute devrait essayer d'activer les ressources des patients et les aider ŕ trouver un nouveau sens ŕ leur vie future. Il ya un besoin urgent d'soigneusement conçus, randomisés, études d'intervention contrôlée sur l'efficacité de l'intervention précoce chez les patients gravement traumatisés et la mi-aux psychothérapies ŕ long terme chez les patients souffrant de PTSD chronique.

Since the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was introduced in DSM-III in 1980, a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches have been developed to address the specific problems and needs of traumatised patients. Successful treatment of PTSD requires a well thought-out therapeutic attitude. The therapist must find a well-balanced position between over-identification and turning away out of helplessness. A sensation-seeking attitude should be avoided as should the danger of vicarious traumatisation. In many instances, PTSD cannot be treated sufficiently by psychotherapy alone: a comprehensive, multi-modal treatment plan may include pharmacotherapeutic, physical, social, legal, and other interventions. Early psychotherapeutic interventions in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event follow the rules of crisis intervention (immediacy, focus on the current problems, time limitation). Special attention should be paid to the issues of developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, creating an atmosphere of safety, helping the patient to regain control over and/or distance himself from intrusive recollections. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other "power therapies" can offer quick relief from symptoms. After collective traumatization, psychological debriefings are widely used, although the evidence for their usefulness in preventing PTSD is questionable. In patients with chronic PTSD, the psychotherapist should not work exclusively on the traumatic event and its sequelae: treatment should be oriented towards the future rather than the past. Instead of exploring, the therapist should try to activate the patients' resources and help them to find new meaning in their future life. There is an urgent need for carefully designed, randomized, controlled intervention studies investigating the effectiveness of early interventions in acutely traumatized patients and of mid- to long-term psychotherapies in patients suffering from chronic PTSD. Furthermore, future studies should include psychodynamic approaches as well as multimodal treatment protocols, and elaborate more sophisticated clinical endpoints.

Abstract:
Until recent times those with the dual diagnosis of mental retardation and mental health issues were deemed inappropriate candidates for counseling or psychotherapy. Dysfunctional behaviors and emotional displays generated by mood disorders, grief, or trauma were often written off as part of the mental disability, in what has come to be known as diagnostic overshadowing. Time, experience, and compassion have changed this. Counseling and psychotherapy have been shown to be "feasible and successful" with this population. Most effective are approaches that utilize and integrate concrete, experiential, and behavioral aspects of the treatment. The task and responsibility of the therapist is to follow the client's internal and interpersonal process as it reveals itself and find the ways, means, and language to facilitate this organic movement toward well-being.

Abstract:
EMDR staat voor "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing" en is een kortdurende, geprotocolleerde en cliëntgerichte behandelmethode om schokkende ervaringen te verwerken. Ook kan het helpen tegen angst en stress.
EMDR integreert verschillende succesvolle elementen van andere therapieën in combinatie met een afleidende stimulus. Deze stimulus kan zijn: het met de ogen volgen van de handen van de therapeut, bi-laterale audiostimulatie, of bi-laterale handstimulatie. Hierdoor wordt "het informatie-verwerkings-systeem in de hersenen" gestimuleerd. Met EMDR is het niet nodig om jarenlang te praten over het verleden. Wel worden, door het stimuleren van het informatie-verwerkings-systeem, in een relatief korte tijd therapeutische doelen bereikt. Hierbij veroorzaakt EMDR herkenbare veranderingen die ook na langere tijd blijven bestaan. De volgende gebeurtenissen kunnen, bij kinderen en volwassenen, leiden tot verwerkingsproblematiek: een (auto)ongeval, brand, diagnose van een ernstige ziekte, getuige van geweld, mishandeling, misbruik, natuurramp, overval, verkrachting of aanranding, verlies van een baan, ziekte of een ziekenhuisbezoek/opname etc.
De volgende soorten klachten kunnen kinderen en volwassenen hebben na een schokkende ervaring: herbelevingen van de ervaring, vermijdingsgedrag m.b.t. de ervaring, verhoogde arousal (opgewonden, overdreven alertheid), stress, schaamte of schuldgevoel, slecht humeur, depressie, zich zorgen maken, angsten, slecht zelfbeeld, paniek, slaapproblemen, relatieproblemen, onverklaarbare lichamelijke klachten etc. Voor meer informatie verwijs ik naar www.emdr.nl.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement desensitization and Reprocessing "is a short, recorded and client-centered treatment approach to shattering experience to process. It can also help reduce anxiety and stress. EMDR integrates various successful elements of other therapies in combination with a distracting stimulus. This incentive can be: with the eyes following the hands of the therapist, bi-lateral audio stimulation, or bi-lateral hand stimulation. This is the "information-processing system in the brains" encouraged. With EMDR is no need for years to talk about the past. Well, either by stimulating the information processing system in a relatively short time therapeutic goals. This caused EMDR recognizable changes even after long period of time. The following events may, in children and adults, leading to processing problems: a (car) accident, fire, diagnosis of a serious illness, witnessing violence, maltreatment, abuse, natural disaster, robbery, rape or sexual assault, job loss, illness or a hospital visit / recording etc. The following types of complaints, children and adults after a shocking experience: reliving the experience, avoidance of the Experience, increased arousal (excited, exaggerated alertness), stress, shame or guilt, bad mood, depression , worry, anxiety, low self-esteem, panic, sleep problems, relationship problems, unexplained physical complaints, etc. For more information I refer www.emdr.nl

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 ŕ refaire vivre au patient victime d'un événement traumatique la scčne terrible qui est ŕ 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 progrčs enregistrés reste énigmatique. Peut-ętre s'agit-il d'une reconstruction ce la mémoire profonde du męme ordre que celle qui se produit dans le sommeil
paradoxal (oů le dormeur connaît des mouvements
oculaires analogues). Cette thérapie a été fondée par Francine Shapiro, du célčbre 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 oů cette thérapie s'est révélée efficace.
Il est de ce fait trčs 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.

They often come in saying that they need to "two-hand" a decision. They report using the technique at home to make differentiations and choices. Borderline clients report "holding two feelings so that I could see that gray you're always talking about". [Text, p. 166] [Pilots]

ypnosis and EMDR are two powerful tools for change. This workshop will
focus on enhancing the EMDR clinician's effectiveness through integrating
hypnotic principles and techniques derived from the work of Milton Erickson
with the EMDR protocol. The presentation will describe essential similarities
and differences between the two approaches, and employ rationales for when
and how to use each. Ways to integrate hypnotic tools into the EMDR
protocol will be described, and two specific protocols for integration will be
presented in practicum format. Familiarity and experience with Ericksonian
hypnotherapy is desirable, but not essential.

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:
During the past 20 years, the development of brain imaging techniques and new biochemical approaches has led to increased understanding of the biological effects of psychological trauma. New hypotheses have been generated about brain development and the roots of antisocial behavior. We now understand that psychological trauma disrupts homeostasis and can cause both short and long-term effects on many organs and systems of the body. Our expanding knowledge of the effects of trauma on the body has inspired new approaches to treating trauma survivors. Biologically informed therapy addresses the physiological effects of trauma, as well as cognitive distortions and maladaptive behaviors. The authors suggest that the most effective therapeutic innovation during the past 20 years for treating trauma survivors has been Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic approach that focuses on resolving trauma using a combination of top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (affect/body) processing.

Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) 2000 Practice Guidelines as meeting the Level A
U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) classification for treatment of adult
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and compare data from more recent research. Findings reveal
that many published reports omitted vital data including exclusion criteria and rates, demographics,
and trauma exposure history. Moreover, severe comorbid psychopathology, a common feature of
treatment-seeking individuals with PTSD, emerged as the predominant reason for exclusion across
studies. Subsequently published studies exhibited improved reporting of sample characteristics and
demonstrated comparable outcomes despite inclusion of more diverse trauma exposure samples.
Findings indicate the need for future efficacy research to adopt more comprehensive reporting requirements
and to test the applicability of validated treatments to individuals suffering from as yet
unstudied combinations of PTSD and prevalent comorbid disorders.

psychotherapy patients were more likely to
remit or even become asymptomatic, according
to the study of 88 adults randomized
to fluoxetine, placebo, or an exposure
therapy method known as eye movement
desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
Patients in the EMDR group ininally responded
to the treatment with psychophysiologic
arousal and appeared to relive
the trauma. But they ultimately
improved significantly more than did the
placebo group and continued to improve
at 2 and 6 months' follow-up, when the
fluoxetine group remained stable.

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.

In general it is suggested to expose adolescents with severe posttraumatic stress disorder to an EMDR treatment embedded in psychotherapy. Because of adolescent-specific conflicts like autonomy and independency, speechlessness and "enacted messages" and the unstable life-situation of those adolescents therapeutic steps of statbilization and resource development have to be given prior emphasis. Trauma exposure with EMDR can be done within certain limits resulting from actual conflicts and tasks whih have to be resolved first. A case report demonstrates the different problems.

Abstract:
Die EMDR-Therapie mit sexuell traumatisierten Patienten erfordert psychotraumatologische Behandlungserfahrung (Peichl 2000). Auf unbewusste Blockierungen während des Prozesses, Affektdysregulation, chronische Übererregung oder dissoziative Zustände ist zu achten und angemessen zu reagieren, beispielsweise mit geleiteten Imaginationen oder differenzierten Einwebtechniken (Shapiro 1995; Parnell 2003). Der Sicherheitsaspekt spielt eine große Rolle, vor allem bei Patienten aus inzestuösen Familien, die häufig nur im Alleinsein ausreichend Schutz und Sicherheit empfanden. Jede neue Beziehung, auch in der Therapie, muss daher im Vorfeld einen Glaubwürdigkeitstest bestehen und für den Patienten eine klare Unterscheidung zwischen Fürsorglichkeit und ausbeutender Sexualität ermöglichen. Dabei erscheint unentbehrlich, dass sich der Therapeut seiner Wertvorstellungen und Überzeugungen hinsichtlich der zahlreichen Aspekte von sexueller Gewalt bewusst wird. EMDR bei sexuell Traumatisierten stellt erhöhte Anforderungen an die Stabilisierungsbedürfnisse der Patienten und die therapeutische Flexibilität des Therapeuten. Die frühzeitige Erkennung und therapeutisch angemessene Bewertung von spontan auftauchenden dissoziativen Symptomen, Körpersensationen ohne visuelle Erinnerungen und starken Abreaktionen stellen besondere therapeutische Herausforderungen dar. Hierbei entscheidet sich, ob der Therapeut vom Patienten als empathisches, gegenwärtiges und angstfreies Objekt erlebt und geschätzt werden kann.
The EMDR therapy with sexually traumatized patients requires psychotraumatological treatment experience (Peichl 2000). blockages at the unconscious during the process, Affektdysregulation, chronic hyperarousal or dissociative states to respect and respond appropriately, for example with guided imagery or differentiated Einwebtechniken (Shapiro 1995, Parnell 2003). The security aspect plays an important role, especially in patients from incestuous families, often felt only in being alone sufficient protection and security. Each new relationship, even in therapy must, therefore run in a credibility test for the patient there and make a clear distinction between caring and exploitative sex. It seems essential that the therapist's values and beliefs regarding the many aspects of becoming aware of sexual violence. EMDR for sexually traumatized places increased demands on the stabilization needs of patients and the therapeutic flexibility of the therapist. The early diagnosis and therapeutic proper assessment of spontaneously arising dissociative symptoms, body sensations without visual memories and strong abreaction provide special therapeutic challenge this will determine whether the therapist can be experienced by the patient as empathic, present, and fear-free object and appreciated.

Hiertoe wordt geschetst hoe een negatief zelfbeeld kan worden geconceptualiseerd, hoe dit past in het EMDR-model (men
spreekt momenteel van 'rechtsom') en op welke wijze EMDR concreet kan worden ingezet bij zelfbeeld-reparatie. Tot slot komen eventuele complicaties en oplossingen aan bod, alsmede voorzorgsmaatregelen om deze complicaties te voorkomen.

Abstract:
L’EMDR (acronimo di Eye Movement Desensitization
and Reprocessing) č un metodo clinico ben strutturato
che puň integrare i programmi terapeutici aumentandone
l’efficacia. Francine Shapiro ha scoperto che alcuni tipi
di stimolazione esterna possono aiutare molto efficacemente
una persona a superare un evento traumatico o
emotivamente disturbante. Il metodo utilizza principalmente
i movimenti oculari prodotti in un paziente invitandolo
a seguire il movimento della mano del terapeuta
(ma anche altre forme di stimolazione destro/sinistra come,
ad esempio, il tapping sulle mani). L’EMDR si basa
sull’ipotesi che l’evento traumatico “congeli” l’informazione
nella sua forma ansiogena originale, nello stesso
modo in cui č stato vissuto. L’informazione bloccata,
“congelata” nelle reti neurali, continua a provocare vari
disturbi psicologici. Pensare ad un evento traumatico
mentre contemporaneamente il paziente esegue determinati
movimenti oculari, invece, genera l’effetto di riprendere
o accelerare l’elaborazione dell’informazione. L’EMDR
provoca una migliore comunicazione tra gli emisferi
cerebrali ristabilendo l’equilibrio eccitatorio/inibitorio e
permette il raggiungimento di una risoluzione adattiva,
integrata in uno schema cognitivo ed emotivo positivo,
dell’esperienza del paziente. Il metodo, quindi, permette
una desensibilizzazione rapida dei ricordi traumatici e
una ristrutturazione cognitiva che porta a una riduzione
significativa dei sintomi del paziente.
EMDR (which stands for Eye Movement desensitization
and Reprocessing) is a well-structured clinical method
that can integrate treatment programs increasing
effectiveness. Francine Shapiro discovered that certain
of external stimulation can help most effectively
a person to overcome a traumatic event or
emotionally disturbing. The method mainly uses
eye movements produced in a patient requesting
to follow the movement of the hand therapist
(But also other forms of stimulation right / left as,
For example, tapping on your hands). EMDR is based
on the assumption that the traumatic event "freeze" information
anxiety in its original form, the same
way it was lived. Information blocked
"Frozen" in neural networks, continues to cause various
psychological disorders. Think of a traumatic event
simultaneously while the patient performs certain
eye movements, however, creates the effect of return
or accelerate the processing. EMDR
leads to better communication between the hemispheres
restoring brain balance excitatory / inhibitory and
allows the achievement of adaptive resolution,
embedded in a positive emotional and cognitive schema,
experience of the patient. The method, therefore, allows
a rapid desensitization of traumatic memories and
a cognitive restructuring that leads to a reduction
significant symptoms of the patient.

Abstract:
Following an amputation of almost any body part, the patient can experience phantom limb sensation, which is the feeling that the limb is still there, or phantom limb pain (PLP), which is pain that exists after the amputation. Often the pain after the amputation is the pain that existed before the amputation, somehow staying locked in the nervous system. In 1996 we did a pilot study, using a case series approach, with 7 amputees. We wanted to see if EMDR could be effective in treating PLP. We thought that PLP might be similar to PTSD, in that the event is over but the pain (emotional or physical) is still there, somehow embedded in the nervous system. In our case series, EMDR was found to be an effective treatment for PLP (complete elimination) in leg amputations. In most of the cases, pain disappeared within three sessions of treatment after the initial diagnostic interview. In general, the protocol for PLP consists of three parts: history-taking and relationship building, then targeting the trauma of the experience, and finally targeting the pain itself.

The effectiveness of EMDR with children can be enhanced with the use of a number of theoretical conceptualizations, protocol modifications, and specific techniques. In this master class, we will cover: understanding how attachment
theory informs the use of EMDR with attachment-disordered children; how EMDR can be used on a group basis across cultures, with children scarred by war as well as natural disasters; how attunement is more important than relationship
in EMDR; how resource development can be used within the EMDR protocol, instead of beforehand; how dissociation is manifested and treated with children; how additional techniques can be used to jump-start stalled processing with
children; how trauma-based diagnosis relates to DSM-lV nomenclature; how heart math solutions can be combined with Safe Place; and how one- and two-year-old childrcn can benefit from EMDR. Also, participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences, techniques, and conceptualizations with EMDR and children.

Abstract:
This article describes the way in which the practice of psychosocial
counselling was adapted culturally to the context of Nepal within the
Centre for Victims of Torture, Nepal (CVICT). After a brief description of
the Nepali setting and CVICT’s counselling and training approach and the
relationship of its psychosocial counselling intervention with existing
methods of dealing with psychosocial problems, the cultural challenges of
implementing psychosocial counselling and our response to them are
sketched along with concepts deemed important in psychosocial counselling.
A discussion follows in which the authors’ stance on the export of
psychosocial counselling to non-western cultures is outlined.

Abstract:
Rosen and Davison [Rosen, G.M. and Davison, G.C. (2003). Psychology should list empirically supported principles of change (ESPs) and not credential trademarked therapies or other treatment packages. Behavior Modification, 27, 300–312] recommended that empirically supported principles be listed instead of empirically supported treatments because the latter approach enables the creation of putatively new therapies by adding functionally inert components to already listed effective treatments. This article attempts to facilitate inquiry into empirically supported principles by reviewing possible mechanisms responsible for the effectiveness of systematic desensitization and exposure therapy. These interventions were selected because they were among the first empirically supported treatments for which some attempt was made at explanation. Reciprocal inhibition, counterconditioning, habituation, extinction, two-factor model, cognitive changes including expectation, self-efficacy, cognitive restructuring, and informal network-based emotional processing explanations are considered. Logical problems and/or available empirical evidence attenuate or undercut these explanations. A connectionist learning-memory mechanism supported by findings from behavioral and neuroscience research is provided. It demonstrates the utility of preferring empirically supported principles over treatments. Problems and limitations of connectionist explanations are presented. This explanation warrants further consideration and should stimulate discussion concerning empirically supported principles.

Abstract:
This article describes the treatment of PTSD using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with four pre-adolescent children. EMDR has been shown to bring rapid relief in adults with PTSD. Studies are beginning to show that it can also be useful in work with young children. However, the standard protocol requires some adjustment to make it suitable for use with young children. In addition, in situations where children have complex difficulties in addition to PTSD, EMDR may need to be used alongside other interventions within a complex treatment package. This study describes brief work carried out with four pre-adolescent children with PTSD. Three of these children had received no treatment despite suffering from significant and chronic symptoms for some years. One had suffered a recent traumatic bereavement. All had additional problems that required intervention. EMDR was used as part of a multimodal treatment package. In all cases, the children's PTSD symptoms resolved within 2-4 sessions of EMDR. The maximum total number of sessions was 7. The children's symptomatic improvements were maintained at 6-month follow-up. EMDR can be adapted for use with pre-adolescent children. It can provide rapid and lasting symptomatic relief. EMDR can be a useful part of a multi-modal treatment package for young children with PTSD and additional mental health problems. [Author Abstract]

Abstract:
Traumatized and neglected children are likely to have deficits that results in low affect tolerance, leading to a tendency to become overwhelmed and dissociate during trauma processing. This workshop will describe the impact of the abuse and neglect on emotional regulation and the need for fun and developmentally appropriate experiences that build internal resources prior to trauma processing. Through live demonstration and small group activities, participants will learn
to integrate EMDR principles with art interventions that help children identify emotion and tolerate affect. They will be able to apply EMDR principles to common games to increase affect tolerance and install resources and will be
able to identify the EMDR principles inherent in effective storytelling appropriate for the preparation phase.

Abstract:
The UK National Institute for Clinical Excellence
Guidelines on PTSD: Based on rigorous meta-analysis, detailed literature review and two public
consultations, the national guidelines for the assessment, prevention and
treatment of PTSD in the UK will be presented in this symposium on behalf
of the Guideline Development Group.
Drug treatments in the management of PTSD: Drug treatments are increasingly used in the management of PTSD and have
been supported by a number of recent reviews although there have been
increasing concerns about their safety. Recent guidance has been issued in
the UK by the Regulatory Agency concerning the use of SSRI drugs in people
of all ages, but especially in children and young adults. In a meta-analysis
of the clinical trial literature for PTSD, following a rigorous bibliographic
search, 26 RCTs meeting strict criteria were identified. Data on two hitherto
unpublished trials of sertraline were available for inclusion. This review highlights
the methodological issues involved in comparing drug trials and trials
of psychological therapies. Nonetheless, meta-analysis demonstrates that
drug treatments for PTSD are probably more disappointing than hitherto
believed. Only five drugs emerged with recommendations for use. One of
these has a reliable if modest effect (paroxetine). The other four are included
on the basis of small single trial reports. Although there are clear indications
for drug treatments, in general there should be an increasing emphasis on
ensuring that trauma-focused psychological treatments (CBT and EMDR) are
widely available, delivered by competent practitioners, and easily accessible
in a timely fashion in primary and secondary care settings.

sing EMDR with clients with dissociative identity disorder (DID) and other dissociative disorders (DDs) requires careful adaptation to allow the unique benefits of EMDR to be used productively, without risking unleashing a flood of traumatic material and destabilizing the client. In this chapter I will discuss adaptations for each stage of treatment for dissociative clients. While I'll focus on work with DID (formerly multiple personality disorder) and dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS), the EMDR adaptations and protocols taught in this chapter can be used with people with other DDs and complex PTSD, and in ego-state work. This chapter is divided into three sections, summarizing the treatment of DDs within the three stages of standard phase-oriented trauma treatment. [Text, pp. 88, 90]

Abstract:
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex, sometimes controversial and
often confusing condition characterized principally by persistent,
unexplained physical and mental fatigue. Researchers and clinicians
continue to debate many aspects of CFS. The influence of stress, in
conjunction with infection, was introduced early on as a possible cause of
chronic illnesses such as CFS.
Patients themselves often report that a virus combined with stress were the
triggers of their illness. The etiology and pathophysiology of CFS will be clear to all attending the presentation as well as where and when EMDR should
be applied in CFS.

Abstract:
In korte tijd heeft bereikt, EMDR enorme populariteit als de behandeling van keuze voor posttraumatische stress-stoornissen, zelfs in afwezigheid van een wetenschappelijk geldige theorie over de werkingsmechanismen. Advocaten vaak vet maken claims met betrekking tot effectiviteit. Ze suggereren dat EMDR is vrij eenvoudig uit te voeren om, en dat EMDR weinig last voor de patiënt heeft. Er is enig bewijs dat EMDR is zo effectief als cognitieve gedragstherapie in de behandeling van PTSS. Echter, de hoge verwachtingen met betrekking tot effectiviteit zijn nog niet bevestigd. Als de 'EMDR beweging' beweert dat de status van een officieel en wetenschappelijk gevalideerde psychotherapeutische methode, is onderzoek nodig dat zich kan identificeren met de specifieke effecten van de procedure ten opzichte van de niet-specifieke effecten van psychotherapie.
In short time EMDR has achieved enormous popularity as the treatment of choice for posttraumatic stress disorders, even in absence of a scientifically valid theory on its working mechanisms. Advocates frequently make bold claims regarding effectiveness. They suggest that EMDR is rather simple to perform, and that EMDR has little burden for the patient. There is some evidence that EMDR is as effective as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in the treatment of PTSD. However, high levels of expectation with regard to effectiveness are not yet confirmed. If the ‘EMDR movement’ claims the status of an official and scientifically validated psychotherapeutic method, research is needed that can identify the specific effects of the procedure relative to the non-specific effects of psychotherapy.

disorder, anxiety, anhedonia] surfaced during a new relationship. Therapy
took 6 sessions in 8 weeks, in 3 of which the EMDR-technique was used. At
the end of therapy all symptoms decreased and feelings of inferiority were
transformed into increased self-worth, self-confidence, inner satisfaction and

Abstract:
Kazuistika ilustruje využitie stabilizačných psychoterapeutických techník a EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) v terapii jednoduchej i subsyndromálnej komplexnej (3) posttraumatickej stresovej poruchy (PTSP) u tej istej pacientky. Stabilizačné techniky, ktoré využívajú špeciálne volené a štruktúrované imaginácie, pomáhajú pacientovi v prvej fáze terapie obnoviť schopnosť prežívať bezpečie, mobilizovať jeho vlastné zdroje uzdravenia a pomôcť mu získať kontrolu nad vlastným prežívaním. EMDR je psychoterapeutická metóda konfrontácie s traumou (expozície), ktorá vychádza z poznatkov o neurobiologickom spracovaní informácií. Jadrom metódy je zistenie, že bilaterálna stimulácia (zabezpečená najbežnejšie pohybom očí zo strany na stranu – odtiaľ názov metódy) umožňuje adaptívne spracovanie dysfunkčne uloženej informácie a uvoľňuje samoliečiaci proces v nervovej sústave pacienta (4). Stabilizačné techniky i EMDR patria ku komplexnej psychoterapii traumy.
The case report illustrates the use of psychotherapeutic techniques, stability and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and reprocessing) in the treatment of simple and complex subsyndromálnej (3) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the same patient. Stabilization technique using specially chosen and structured imagination, assist the patient in the first phase of therapy to restore the ability to experience security, to mobilize its own healing resources to help him gain control of their own survival. EMDR is a psychotherapeutic method of confrontation with the trauma (exposure), based on knowledge of the neurobiological information processing. The core method is the finding that bilateral stimulation (eye movements commonly provided from side to side - hence the name of the method) allows for adaptive processing of dysfunctional information stored and released samoliečiaci process in the nervous system of patients (4). Stabilization techniques and EMDR psychotherapy include a comprehensive trauma.

Men i allmänhet, är effekten ofta mĺttliga och symtomen ĺterkommer när behandlingen perioden avbryts. För vuxna, stödjer vetenskapliga bevis användning av paroxetin och sertralin för alla syndrom utom specifika fobier. För övriga SSRI-preparat Det finns ocksĺ bevis för användning av Fluoxetin i OCD och PTSD, för fluvoxamin i social fobi och tvĺngssyndrom och för escitalopram i social fobi. Andra antidepressiva läkemedel med ett starkt vetenskapligt stöd är venlafaxin i social fobi och GAD, imipramin i panik syndrom och chlomipramine i panik syndrom och tvĺngssyndrom. Bland de psykologiska behandlingar, det finns vetenskapliga bevis för kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) för behandling av panik-syndrom, specifika fobier, social fobi, PTSD och GAD. Exponering, med eller utan andra psykoterapeutiska interventioner har vetenskapligt stöd för effekt vid paniksyndrom (bĺde i termer av antalet panikattacker och agorafobi för), specifika fobier, tvĺngssyndrom och PTSD.

A report by the Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU) has reviewed, classified and evaluated the scientific literature on treatment of panic syndrome, specific phobias, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive syndrome (OCD), generalized anxiety syndrome (GAD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The review included treatment of children, adolescents and adults. The report concludes that there is effective treatment available for all anxiety syndromes. However in general, the effect is often moderate and symptoms reappear when the treatment period is discontinued. For adults, scientific evidence supports the use of paroxetine and sertraline for all syndromes except specific phobias. For the other SSRI's there is also evidence for the use of fluoxetin in OCD and PTSD, for fluvoxamine in social phobia and OCD and for escitalopram in social phobia. Other antidepressant drugs with a strong scientific support is venlafaxin in social phobia and GAD, imipramin in panic syndrome and chlomipramine in panic syndrome and OCD. Among psychological treatments, there is scientific evidence for cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for treatment of panic syndrome, specific phobias, social phobia, PTSD and GAD. Exposure, with or without other psychotherapeutic interventions, has scientific support for efficacy in panic disorder (both in terms of number of panic attacks and for agoraphobia), specific phobias, OCD and PTSD. Use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has scientific support for treatment of PTSD.

Language: English
Format: Dissertation/Thesis
Abstract:
This study demonstrates the use of the transtheoretical model in the context of sexual trauma in middle childhood. Exploring contemporary literature I found that there is no literature in South Africa available on this topic. It was not until 1997 that the transtheoretical model was implemented internationally with regard to sexual abuse. Taking this in consideration, I realised that there was much scope for exploring, discovering and reflecting on the transtheoretical model and its use within the boundaries of childhood sexual trauma. A qualitative case study within the social constructivist/interpretive paradigm, was chosen as research design. The study involved a participant in middle childhood. Elna (pseudonym) was selected from referrals from the Child Protection Unit of the South African Police Services to the Unit for Educational Psychology at Stellenbosch. The reason for referring Elna to the Unit was because of the negative and diverse effects sexual trauma had on her life story. The study explores the transtheoretical model and the appropriateness thereof as alternative treatment model in a case of sexual trauma, as well as insight into progression of the client in the therapeutic process. Data was collected by means of interviews and therapy sessions during which Narrative therapy, EMDR, sandtray therapy (used in a narrative context) and art therapy techniques were used in an integrated manner. The data was analysed by means of interpreting codes, categories and themes. The study concluded with a discussion of the findings and a reflection on the impact the use of the transtheoretical model had on me as a research-therapist-in-training. The literature review and the findings of this research suggest that the transtheoretical model can be applied effectively to a case of sexual trauma in middle childhood. The use of the model also gives insight into progression of the client in the therapeutic process. Thesis (MEdPsych (Educational Psychology)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.

Dennoch scheint es Moderatorvariablen zu geben, welche die Therapieeffektivität beeinflussen. Die geringe Anzahl der Originalstudien lässt jedoch eine nähere Untersuchung dieser Faktoren gegenwärtig nicht sinnvoll erscheinen.
In this meta-analytical examination we directly compared EMDR to cognitive-behavioral therapy. At present there are seven original studies concerning the subject. Our results suggest that both treatments tend to be equally effective. The superiority of one treatment over the other cannot be proved with our data. Nonetheless there seem to be moderator variables that influence the treatment efficacy. But the small number of original studies makes a closer examination of these variables rather pointless.

Abstract:
Anxiety, although experienced by everyone, is unique and complex in the Panic Disordered client. Therapists who will be treating these clients need to comprehend the overwhelming experience of panic; its life-altering consequences; underlying causes; and the phobic responses that range from irrrational to bizarre. Panic is a major symptom of post-trauma phenomena; and the experience of panic is traumatizing itself. The end results are remarkably similiar: distortions in attributions (cognitions) and coping mechanisms (behavior), and an intolerance of particular emotional states. The goal of this workshop is to expand the clinician's awareness, sensitivity and skill in treating the many faces of panic and to incorporate bilateral stimulation and adaptive information processing (EMDR) as an integral part of that treatment.

and social therapy with some adapted skills of Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It was found that stabilization and
installation were strongly significant in helping the students to recover from
this traumatic event by focusing on positive resources. We argue that in the Chinese cultural context, it is most important to build such an integrated
crisis intervention scheme to cope with such an event.

Abstract:
The Adaptive Information Processing Model can provide a potent conceptual
framework for working with clients experiencing "stuck points" in their
love relationships. In this workshop. participants will learn to apply the
model to trauma-related love relationship problems. Participants will learn
to move from the presenting complaint to the foundation issues. Through
the use of a Trauma History, "peelback" and floatback, participants will
learn to move from the presenting complaint with the painful memories and
blocking beliefs that underlie the current love relationship impasse. Creative
cognitive and imaginal interweaves to deal with blocked processing will be
demonstrated.

Abstract:
There are many different factors which need to be taken into account in order to help
children resolve the physical, emotional and mental difficulties caused by unresolved
trauma. One of the most important factors is having a therapy technique which first
desensitizes the trauma memories and then repatterns how the brain stores the previously
traumatic information. Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
provides this type of unique treatment which is highly effective for resolving emotional
difficulties and traumatic experiences.

Abstract:
In dieser retrospektiven Studie 89 deutsche Soldaten, die als stationäre zur posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung behandelt wurden, zwischen 1998 und 2002 untersucht wurden. Nach einer mittleren von 29 Monaten mit Fragebögen They Were neu bewertet. Behandelt wurden 20 Patienten mit EMDR Konnte bis 14 Patienten mit einer unterstützenden Behandlung verglichen werden. Die Ergebnisse (Jes SOUTH. Voc) direkt nach der Behandlung und in der Langzeit-Follow-up waren deutlich überlegen in der EMDR-Gruppe im Vergleich zu den Kontrollen. Traumatisierte Soldaten in Out-of-area-Einsätze eher eine bessere als die kurzfristigen Ergebnisse Traumatisierte Soldaten in Deutschland haben.

In this retrospective study 89 German soldiers being treated as inpatients for a posttraumatic stress disorder between 1998 and 2002 were investigated. After a mean of 29 months they were reevaluated with questionnaires. 20 patients treated with EMDR could be compared to 14 patients with a supportive treatment. The results (Isa. SUD. VoC) directly after treatment and in the long-term follow-up were significantly superior in the EMDR group compared to the controls. Soldiers traumatized in out-of-area missions tended to have a better short-term outcome than traumatized soldiers in Germany. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)
