Abstract: "This journal praised the first edition of this book (1996 XVI #4, pp. 99-100) as a major contribution. This new edition is greatly expanded and updated, addressing many of the objections that some researchers have had to EMDR. The result is a step-by-step historical, theoretical, practical introduction to a useful adjunct for the treatment of phobia and post traumatic stress disorder."--Clinical Gerontologist PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION "This pragmatic book is important as the definitive presentation of the EMDR method....Clinicians will welcome its detailed explanation....Several case examples and five annotated transcripts nicely illustrate subtleties in the method and the therapist's client-centered role."--Contemporary Psychology "The writing is clear with general guidelines balanced by exemplary case illustrations to illustrate specific procedures and sample phrases to be used by the therapist....The description of the benefits to be expected is balanced throughout by descriptions of the special precautions, possible side effects, difficult populations encountered and procedural variations needed."--Psychotherapy in Private Practice "In a very few years, EMDR has grown from a bizarre sounding new technique to the most extensively researched treatment for PTSD (with numerous additional applications also being pursued)....A number of recent, rather convincing studies have established EMDR as a legitimate and powerful treatment."--Professional Psychology -- Review

Abstract: EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is a new, nontraditional, very short-term therapy for treating trauma victims that utilizes rhythmical stimulation such as eye movements or hand taps. Shapiro, a clinical psychologist and fellow at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, Calif., who developed the approach, reports cases in which as few as three 90-minute EMDR sessions have relieved patients' disabling anxiety. Explaining how she developed the technique in 1987, Shapiro describes the treatment, theorizes about why it works and cites supporting research. She suggests that the rhythmical stimulation inherent in the process jump starts and accelerates the brain's information processing system to enable the victims to begin to process the traumatic experiences in which they have been stuck so that natural healing can begin. Writer Forrest presents gripping case studies from numerous EMDR-trained therapists to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique?among others, a Vietnam veteran with post-traumatic stress, a child with night terrors, a rape victim and a mother still nearly paralyzed with grief a year after her son's death. Other studies report success helping drug addicts and the terminally ill.

Format: Journal
Abstract: Whether you are first learning about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or you have participated in EMDR training, the goal of this article is to provide the reader with a brief overview of strategies for using the full protocol with young children. To understand the process by which the phases of the protocol are applied with child clients, it is important to understand the theoretical underpinnings that Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory creates as a foundation for healing and health with children. After discussing the application of AIP to children, the chapter will continue with an overview of skills therapists can use to create a toolbox that can be integrated into the EMDR eight phase treatment protocol with references for additional study and training on using EMDR with children. Finally, therapists will begin to learn how to adapt the full EMDR protocol for effective psychotherapy through developmentally suited language and interventions with even the youngest of clients.

Abstract: EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing är en behandlingsmetod som främst visat sig vara effektiv vid behandling av posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Francine Shapiro som upptäckt och utvecklat metoden grundar den på ide´n om hjärnan som ett självreglerande, självorganiserande system och kallar sin förklaringsmodell Adaptive Information Processing model. Syfte med detta arbete är att beskriva dess verksamma faktorer, då den inte fungerar samt försöka anknyta teorier som neuropsykologi, dynamisk systemteori och dialektisk konstruktivism till metoden och dess modell. Resultatet ger vid hand att den dynamiska systemteorin främst förklarar de både snabba och plötsliga förändringar som kan noteras vid användandet av metoden, att senare neuropsykologisk forskning förmår bekräfta metodens användbarhet då det gäller att beskriva och förklara det som neuropsykologiskt sker vid behandlingen samt att terapeutisk förändring ofta inbegriper ett pendlande mellan erfarande och förklarande.

Abstract: Toward the end of a powerful session, my client closed her eyes and laid her hands lightly on her lap. Immediately, they began a fluttering, spontaneous movement: left hand, right hand. While this was occurring, my client was mostly silent and was processing some very important material. The cognition she ended up with was that she had a right to be scared and desperate as a child. Not surprisingly, this new way of thinking was very important to her.

Format: Book
Abstract: Negli ultimi anni, con l’affermarsi dell’EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) come approccio terapeutico consolidato, sono stati formati nel mondo più di 80.000 terapeuti di matrice psicoterapeutica diversa, 1600 soltanto in Italia. Un così ampio interesse per questo metodo potrebbe far rilevare che proprio nell’EMDR i terapeuti, seppure di differente formazione, abbiano ricercato e intravisto uno strumento per poter avviare un dialogo, costruttivo e non soltanto oppositivo, iniziando a considerare la patologia attraverso un nuovo e integrante punto di vista.
Il paradigma dell’Elaborazione Adattiva dell’Informazione messo a punto da Francine Shapiro parte dal presupposto che i fenomeni patologici dipendono da esperienze disturbanti del passato che avviano un modello permanente di emozioni, cognizioni, comportamenti e le strutture di identità che ne conseguono. Il paradigma, pertanto, offre una teoria unificante che può essere considerata come substrato per tutti gli orientamenti terapeutici quando si definisce la patologia come informazione immagazzinata in modo disfunzionale e che può essere adeguatamente integrata attraverso un sistema di elaborazione e risoluzione adattiva, attivato attraverso il protocollo EMDR.
Questo è il primo testo che affronti il tema assai vivo e di attualità dell’integrazione fra i diversi orientamenti psicoterapeutici attraverso un metodo eclettico quale l’EMDR. I contributi degli autori - rappresentanti delle principali scuole di pensiero attualmente presenti nel mondo della psicoterapia italiana - tracciano un percorso di lettura che dimostra come i costrutti teorici e il protocollo EMDR siano compatibili ed efficacemente integrabili con i maggiori nuclei teorici, tradizionali e innovativi. E sono proprio l’elaborazione dei vissuti e i nuovi e più adattivi insight dei pazienti che si attivano attraverso l’approccio EMDR a poter consentire ai terapeuti di capirsi e di utilizzare un linguaggio comune.
In recent years, with l’affermarsi dell’EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) as consolidated therapeutic approach have been trained in the world of 80,000 practitioners of different psicoterapeutica array, 1600 only in Italy. A so broad interest for this method could detect that your nell’EMDR therapists, albeit different training, have looked up and saw a tool to be able to start a constructive dialogue and not only oppositivo, beginning to consider the disease through a new and an integral point of view.
The Adaptive Information Processing model paradigm made to point by Francine Shapiro part from the assumption that the pathological phenomena depend on disturbing experiences of the past that initiate a permanent model of emotions, knowledge, attitudes and structures of identity that it entails. The paradigm, therefore, provides a unifying theory that can be considered as a substrate for all therapeutic guidelines when you define the pathology as information stored so dysfunctional and can be adequately integrated through a system of processing and adaptive resolution activated through the EMDR protocol.
This is the first text that tackles the issue very live and topical dell’integrazione between the different psychotherapy guidelines through an eclectic method such as EMDR. Contributions by authors - representatives of major schools of thought are currently in the world of Italian psychotherapy - draw a path of reading that shows how the theoretical constructs and EMDR Protocol are compatible and effectively integrate with the more theoretical, traditional and innovative nuclei. And its elaboration of the living and the new and more adaptive insight of patients that trigger through EMDR to allow practitioners understand you and use a common language.

Abstract: "Ik heb het boek 'Met andere ogen bekeken' met plezier gelezen en ben er van overtuigd dat dit interessante lectuur is voor geïnteresseerden, voor cliënten en voor collega's die meer over EMDR willen te weten komen. De eerstelijns benadering van EMDR is origineel en een goede suggestie om uit te proberen. Ik persoonlijk heb vooral genoten van de praktijkgevallen, die met een pen geschreven zijn zoals die bij echte romans wordt gebruikt: het personage wordt voor je ogen opgebouwd en levend gemaakt. Het gedeelte over de werking van stress en het effect van trauma op de hersenen is mij ook ten zeerste bevallen, omdat deze materie er op een zeer overzichtelijke en duidelijke manier in wordt verwoord. Wars van alle onverstaanbare medische taal, komt de auteur tot de essentie en weet hij die ook over te brengen. Het gedeelte over de verschillende toepassingsgebieden van EMDR is interessant en kan therapeuten motiveren om de methode nader te leren kennen. Verder vind ik in het boek een zekere gedrevenheid terug: Het geeft een persoonlijke integratie van EMDR weer en niet zomaar een vertaling van het boek van Shapiro zelf. Ik kan het boek aanbevelen als zeer nuttig voor therapeut en cliënt."
"I have the book" With different eyes viewed "with pleasure read and am convinced that this interesting reading for those interested, for clients and colleagues more about EMDR want to know. The primary approach of EMDR is an original and good suggestion to try. I personally have especially enjoyed the practical, with a pen as they are written by real novels are used: the character is for your eyes up and live. The part about the effect of stress and the impact of trauma on the brains I am also very much like, because this matter is in a very concise and clear manner is expressed. Wars of all medical incomprehensible language, the author comes to the essence and he knows that across. The part about the various scopes of EMDR therapists is interesting and can motivate the method to further learning. I also think in the book a certain passion back: It gives a personal integration of EMDR weather and not simply a translation of the book Shapiro himself. I can recommend the book as very useful for therapist and client." [Ludwig Cornil]

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract: If we regard adult psychotherapy as the basis for a kind of attachment relationship in which the client seeks proximity by having a physical and emotional closeness with the therapist through which the client tries to create a”safe haven” soothing him or her when upset while providing a sense of security, child therapists often regard child-psychotherapy as a means to develop an attachment relationship between child and caregiver, whenever possible. It is a common assumption, that in child-psychotherapy, especially while dealing with trauma, the therapist must stress the importance of empowering the parental figure as an attachment figure and as a “secure base”.

Language: French
Format: Book
Abstract: Les pratiques psychothérapiques se sont multipliées au cours des dernières décennies. On dénombre actuellement dans le monde près de 400 types de psychothérapies. Cette diversité peut entretenir un flou croissant autour de ces approches avec un risque d'amalgame ou de repli sur telle ou telle référence exclusive. Afin d'éviter ce risque et d'orienter les étudiants et les thérapeutes, ce livre propose de présenter les principaux courants psychothérapiques : psychanalytique, cognitivo-comportemental, systémique et stratégique. Le lecteur sera sensibilisé pour chacun des courants à leur histoire, aux enjeux théoriques et psychopathologiques, à la spécificité de la clinique, à la question des indications. Des portraits de personnalités marquantes scandent la présentation de chaque courant, apportant un éclairage biographique. L'ambition est de saisir la pluralité des champs mais également leurs complémentarités car au-delà des spécificités théoriques et techniques, on identifie un certain nombre d'invariants et de facteurs communs au processus psychothérapique. Cet ouvrage espère ainsi contribuer à un mouvement de décloisonnement et de partage des richesses et ressorts des grands courants, dans un esprit d'exigence et de respect mutuel. Des thérapeutes d'horizons et de références différents seront ainsi sensibilisés à la diversité de ces courants et pourront mieux poser les indications d'autres approches que la leur.

Abstract: This workshop will focus on insider tips for healthy and practical EMDR practice issues. An effective strategy for introducing EMDR therapy and how to make it part of your initial patient interview will be described from the nitty-gritty aspect of dealing with sanitizing your equipment whether using your hands or plastic sensors to an assortment of useful forms. Three forms will be distributed and explained: Welcome to My Practice form, Tracking EMDR Session form, and Addendum to the Multimodal form. In addition, a means of "previewing" with your patient the safe place, the VOC and SUD scales and each of the questions in the assessment phase will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of each of these steps for de;eloping a sound therapeutic relationship and gleaning more information about the patient. Newcomers to EMDR will have an opportunity to get the answers to basic questions and the hands on materials that will increase their comfort and competence using and integrating EMDR into their practices.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract: In "The Reunion Process: A New Focus in Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy," by Dr. Sandler (see record 2007-09422-001), addresses posttreatment relapse by a new therapeutic strategy based on attachment theory and recent research findings concerning the neurobiology of memory. This strategy involves the discovery or creation of positive childhood maternal attachment memories as a method of overcoming the dominance of negative memories. Dr. Sandler makes assumptions about what can be achieved in short-term therapies, the pace of therapeutic change, as well as the role in treatment outcome of techniques versus therapist skill and relationship factors. These assumptions are not supported by psychotherapy research. While the attempt to use new discoveries from neurobiology to guide the development of therapeutic techniques is admirable, the author appears to engage in a fair amount of speculative theoretical reductionism in attempting to explain the eventually positive outcome of the case he presents. I offer a more parsimonious psychological explanation, which is consistent with the short-term dynamic psychotherapy theory of change. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: I was disappointed that in discussing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Laura Spinney dismissed eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) as if it was just slightly better than snake oil (3 February, p 40). There is an impressive body of robust research showing that this modern therapy for trauma is, in fact, effective. It is endorsed as such by many prestigious institutions worldwide, including the American Psychiatric Association in its practice guidelines for the treatment of PTSD, which gives EMDR the same status as cognitive behavioural therapy as an effective treatment for the symptoms of both acute and chronic PTSD.

Abstract: The eyes. say the poets, are the windows to the soul. They may also be a catalyst for the brain. According to Francine Shapiro. Ph.D.. senior research fellow at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, Calif., there is an intimate relationship between eye movement and the processing of emotionally charged images and memories. During a recent conference of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, Shapiro described her discovery and development of a therapeutic technique that uses guided eye movement to accelerate the treatment of a wide range of psychological disorders.

Abstract: This chapter includes a review of certain core concepts of feminist therapy theory and an exploration of how EMDR can be integrated into feminist practice as a means of operationalizing that theory. Because feminist therapy is inherently technically eclectic, embracing interventions ranging from the psychodynamic to the most radically behavioral, the question to be addressed regarding EMDR as a feminist practice is whether its use in therapy supports feminist models of change. In feminist practice, that question is the boundary condition for inclusion of a strategy: Can its use promote feminist models and outcomes? Not every way of practicing therapy does this, and some strategies, particularly those that emphasize strategic approaches in which therapists intentionally use their power over the client, are per se problematic. However, EMDR seems to fall easily within the parameters of feminist practice and even in the hands of nonfeminist therapists advances the goals of feminist social and personal change that are at the core of feminist therapy models. In arguing that EMDR does support feminist strategies, this chapter explores the way feminist practice conceptualizes the notions of change and goodness of outcome. To some degree, these notions are very similar to those of nonfeminist therapies, and in other respects they are radically different. [Text, p. 266]

Abstract: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a complex, highly specialized therapy that combines several therapeutic methods— psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, etc.—with eye movements or other forms of rhythmical stimulation, such as hand taps or sounds. It involves recalling a stressful past event and “reprogramming” the memory in the light of a positive, self-chosen belief. EMDR has been shown to be effective in the treatment and relief of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and other types of disorders listed in the DSM IV. Theories as to why EMDR works are still evolving. Learn about the EMDR treatment method, the benefits, drawbacks and research results.

Abstract: The Poster Presentation will address the therapeutic issues of a complex bereavement case with traumatized history in a bicultural society. EMDR as an integrative psychotherapeutic approach and theory like the “Structural Dissociation of the Personality” as proposed by Nijenhuis, Van der Hart, & Steele complements each other in working with complex bereavement. The Presentation outlines the conceptualization of the case based on this theory, the working process and milestones. As the individual grieves, various levels of structural dissociation are observed. Symptoms are understood in light of the “Apparently Normal and the Emotional Parts of the Personality”. The working procedures within the EMDR framework involve processing materials from different levels of structural dissociation. A reduction of trauma-related symptoms (i.e. depression, phobia, anxiety) over the course of EMDR treatment was observed. Finally, treatment issues as related to attachment, traumatic memory, and daily functioning are discussed in the context of a bicultural urban city.

Abstract: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (ENDR) therapy has burst upon the psychotherapeutic scene as a tirne-limited, cost-contained, and efficacious treatrnent for anxiety, stress, and psychological trauma. Although this therapy has been pronounced as revolutionary by its inventor, Franche Shapiro, it has distinct historicd precedents. The explanatory models of pathogenic memory and dissociation îheory, and the reiiance on mechanical inference for objectivity rnake EMDR therapy famiIiar and salieut. Notions of suggestion and hypnosis, aud the eye-movement component of therapy are presented as discontinuous with clinical and theoreticai practice, in order to fiee them h m the tainting associations of pseudo-science and quackery. By co~ect ingth e curent EMDR movement with the conceptual and practical history of traumatic memory, dissociation, and suggestion, 1 argue that EMDR is not revolutionary. It is a powerful technotogy of the self, nomaking and valourking certain ways of behaving and thinking. Shapiro's implicit assurnptions that psychological suffering is pathological, and that early traumatic events are indelibly encoded, stored and dissociated in the brain are problematized. A briefcornmentary on the mord, politicai, and psychotherapeutic implications of EMDR therapy is provided.

Abstract: Reviews the book, Psychic Trauma: Dynamics, Symptoms and Treatment by Ira Brenner (2004). This book is described as an elegant and compelling piece of thinking that accomplishes its stated task, specifically in working with those suffering from dissociative states. Brenner presents a reasoned way of examining situations as diverse as dissociative identity disorder; responses to genocidal atrocities in survivors, children of survivors, and children of perpetrators; and enactments in both patient-survivors and analytic clinicians treating trauma. The concluding chapter deals with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). The reviewer closes with some psychoanalytic-historical comments related to Francine Shapiro's (1989) short-term technique for the treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, which is related to EMDR. It is concluded that while Freud and many of his followers (such as Brenner), are convinced of the therapeutic value of lifting repressions, it is by no means obvious that Freud, in The Studies, was not seeking as much to bind dissociative states as he was intending to remove repressions, giving all the more credence to Brenner's suggestion for the existence of a dissociative continuum.

Abstract: With EMDR, help is in the eye of the beholder Christine Baird (not her real name) never had reason to distrust her husband of 22 years. So when he confessed to an affair, Baird plunged into four months of sleeplessness, anxiety and despair. "I couldn't see the future as holding any hope for me," says Baird, 49. What she didn't know was that she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, a condition associated with sexual assault victims and war veterans. Counseling didn't help, and Baird was referred to Glenis Holmes, a therapist trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It's a technique Baird says helped turn her life around.

Abstract: Beginning in the 1990s, Francine Shapiro had discovered and began researching a new neurophysiological technique for treating traumatic material. This technique, alternating bilateral stimulation, was quickly subsumed by Shapiro’s psychotherapeutic orientation known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). After many years of rigorous empirical studies demonstrating its uses and effectiveness in trauma treatment, EMDR has become one of only three approved treatments recommended by the veteran’s administration for the treatment of PTSD. Through didactic illustration and explanation; videotaped demonstrations; and experiential exercises, this seminar provides clinicians the basic principles of EMDR and EMDR- related techniques and how each would be incorporated into their personal therapeutic orientation and practice. Goals 1. Participants will gain understanding of neuroscience’s trauma paradigm · Biological nature of trauma · Specific trauma symptoms and their order of appearance · Primary treatment issues in trauma therapy. 2. Participants will gain understanding of trauma’s cognitive and somatic impact and how to effectively treat its sequelae including: · Hyperarousal · Affect dysregulation · Dissociation · Body memories and “flashbacks” 3. Participants will learn the theory of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and EMDR-related techniques for initial resourcing of clients, followed by desensitizing and cognitive reprocessing of traumatic material. Objectives 1. Participants will identify the biological nature of trauma; how trauma is stored in the body and limbic system, creating physical and psychological symptoms. 2. Participants learn to identify the symptoms of trauma- hyperarousal; affect dysregulation; dissociation, body memories and “flashbacks”. 3. Participants will learn the Adaptive Information Processing Model and clinical research associated with EMDR 4. Participants will learn how EMDR and EMDR-related techniques are used as an adjunct to psychotherapy. 5. Participants will identify and demonstrate the eight 8 Phases of EMDR protocol. 6. Participants will describe the differences between eye movement, auditory and tactile stimulation. 7. Describe the process for resourcing a client prior to actual processing traumatic material. 8. Describe the process of employing tactile alternating bilateral stimulation for the processing traumatic memories.

Abstract: "EMDR in action." Part 2
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
sessions of clients with symptoms of acute stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, afgekort tot EMDR, is een therapie voor mensen die last blijven
houden van de gevolgen van een schokkende ervaring, zoals een verkeersongeval of een geweldsmisdrijf. Het is een
relatief nieuwe therapie. Een eerste versie ervan werd in 1989 beschreven door de ontwikkelaarster ervan, de Amerikaanse
psychologe Francine Shapiro. In de jaren daarna werd deze procedure verder uitgewerkt en ontwikkelde
EMDR zich tot een volwaardige en effi ciënte therapeutische methode. In deze bijdrage zullen we deze methode
nader bespreken.

Abstract: WHILE appreciating that The Psychologist is not a standard academic journal, I was nevertheless somewhat surprised and not a little disappointed to see space being given to an uncritical ‘sales pitch’ for EMDR in the March issue. While Shapiro acknowledges that the treatment she originated has been the subject of ‘much scrutiny and debate’, reference is then only made to one aspect of this debate; that is, the identification of EMDR’s active ingredient. By failing to provide at least a handful of references to major areas of contention in relation to EMDR, the article does a disservice to interested practitioners and academics. Papers by Herbert et al. (2000) and Rosen et al. (1998) would allow readers to at least start to make a more balanced appraisal of EMDR.

Abstract: Die von Francine Shapiro entwickelte innovative EMDR-Methode (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing/Augenbewegungs-Desensibilisierung und Neubearbeitung) hat in der Fachwelt großes Aufsehen erregt, so sehr grenzte sie an Zauberei. Ursprünglich für die Behandlung von Trauma-Opfern gedacht, erschließen sich mittlerweile weitere Anwendungsbereiche. Was ist davon zu halten? Dieser Frage wird im vorliegenden Band beantwortet, der über den aktuellen Stand des Wissens zur EMDR informiert und zahlreiche Anwendungsbeispiele aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen und psychotherapeutischen Schulen vorstellt. Es zeigt sich, daß EMDR vor allem bei der Verarbeitung vergangener belastender Erlebnisse in manchen Fällen in erstaunlich kurzer Zeit zu einem Abklingen negativer Emotionen sowie zu neuen Einsichten und spontanen Veränderungen von Vorstellungsbildern führt.

Abstract: Seven years after a tree suddenly fell across their car in a rainstorm, severely injuring her husband, but sparing her, a woman of 58 was referred to me with a curious, persistent post traumatic symptom. In most regards she had recovered well from the accident which left her husband seriously brain damaged and wheelchair bound in a nursing home where she visited him frequently. She worked regularly in the business department of a theatre company, had a strong social network and had, in several years of traditional therapy, been able to move beyond her rage and sorrow concerning the event. She was, however, “terrified of the wind” and this fear, while not having major impact upon her daily activities, often led to night time awakenings when the wind “howled” outside her window, and limited her outdoor activity whenever there was moderate wind. She was determined to “overcome” this last residue of the accident and was told by a client who had worked with me that EMDR could be of help.

Abstract: L'articolo di J. Wolpe e J. Abrams presenta un caso trattato nel 1991 con Eye Movement Desensitization (EMD), erano le prime applicazioni cliniche dopo la scoperta di F. Shapiro nel 1989 dell'azione dei movimenti oculari sullo stress traumatico e sulle situazioni ansiogene. Negli anni successivi l'EMD è diventato EMDR, infatti, la desensibilizzazione è il primo effetto che avviene durante una seduta dove viene applicata la stimolazione bilaterale, ma successivamente l'osservazione massiccia ed approfondita degli effetti clinici di questo metodo terapeutico ha rivelato che il processo che avviene è molto più complesso. È stato notato che simultaneamente alla desensibilizzazione avviene una ristrutturazione cognitiva e che entrambe sono il risultato dell'elaborazione dell'informazione legata ai ricordi traumatici. Nel lavoro realizzato con la paziente Shirley, Wolpe descrive tutta la storia di terapie a cui era stata sottoposta fino a quel momento che però non erano riuscite ad affrontare e risolvere l'esperienza traumatica della violenza sessuale. L'EMDR è stato efficace perché ha lavorato sul piano neurofisiologico, dove l'informazione è immagazzinata in modo disfunzionale ed è accessibile soltanto a questo livello, infatti, le terapie prettamente verbali non sempre riescono ad accedere e ad agire su questo piano e di conseguenza non riescono a modificare gli aspetti clinici legati alle esperienze di stress traumatico. Il programma terapeutico di Wolpe per l'introduzione dell'EMDR si è focalizzato inizialmente sull'esperienza traumatica della violenza (2 sedute) e dopo aver elaborato l'esperienza in sé sono stati individuati altri bisogni terapeutici legati all'ansia sociale e agli spunti agorafobici. Le 5 sedute successive sono state utilizzate per la desensibilizzazione di una serie di situazioni a cui era stato attribuito dalla paziente un valore della scala SUD. Si è iniziato dalla situazione più ansiogena (85) nella scala SUD e anziché utilizzare il rilassamento proprio della desensibilizzazione sistematica, sono stati realizzati movimenti oculari. La paziente riportava una riduzione dell'ansia dopo ogni set di stimolazione bilaterale e l'immagine della situazione temuta tendeva a sparire e in alcune situazioni addirittura diventava positiva. La ristrutturazione cognitiva è avvenuta nella paziente in modo spontaneo man mano che la terapia procedeva, fino a riportare che poteva camminare per strada sentendosi una cittadina normale, avendo un progetto per il futuro, inoltre aveva smesso quasi completamente di bere e si sentiva che un peso si era sollevato dalle sue spalle. Riportava di essere più rilassata sul lavoro, si godeva le passeggiate solitarie sulla spiaggia, aveva cominciato a curare il suo aspetto fisico e aveva iniziato ad avere interesse per gli uomini e ad avvicinarsi a qualcuno, ha riportato che non temeva più di essere violentata e non aveva più i pensieri suicidi e gli autori hanno ritenuto la terapia conclusa. I risultati si sono mantenuti ai vari follow up realizzati nel tempo. Quindi possiamo vedere i risultati della terapia con EMDR a livello cognitivo, nelle attribuzioni che fa del mondo e di se stessa, differenziando i pericoli veri da quelli meramente ansiogeni, soggettivo per quello che la paziente riporta emotivamente e a livello comportamentale, dove ha messo in atto dei nuovi comportamenti adattivi in modo spontaneo. Nella parte conclusiva gli autori menzionano una serie di 100 casi che sarebbero stati pubblicati nel Journal of Behaviour Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry e si augurano che altre pubblicazioni potessero rispondere al bisogno di delucidare i meccanismi che permettono questi cambiamenti dopo una seduta di EMDR. Come si evince dagli articoli che vengono pubblicati in questo numero la ricerca, il lavoro empirico e le osservazioni cliniche hanno dato un grande contributo in questo senso negli ultimi anni. Sull'EMDR sono stati pubblicati più di 150 articoli che ne dimostrano la efficacia. Tra le riviste scientifiche più accreditate dove sono pubblicati dei lavori di ricerca sull'EMDR troviamo: Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, British Journal of Clinical Psychology, Journal of Anxiety Disorders, Journal of Behaviour and experimental psychiatry, Behavioural and Cognitive psychotherapy, Behaviour Therapy, Journal of traumatic stress, The Clinical Psychologist, Journal of Psychotherapy integration, Harvard Mental Health letter, Journal of Clinical psychology, Psychotherapy, British Journal of Psychiatry, International Journal of Psychiatry. Inoltre, sono stati pubblicati libri e manuali per terapeuti tradotti in varie lingue (in Italia dall'Astrolabio e dalla Mc Graw Hill Italia). Inoltre, recentemente, l'International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) ha stabilito e comunicato che l'EMDR è uno dei metodi terapeutici più rapidi ed efficaci per superare e risolvere il disturbo post-traumatico da stress.

Abstract: Originally a technique that seemed to desensitize disturbing memories, EMDR is now a full-scale protocol that is being used to treat a wide-range of disorders. Even its proponents acknowledge, however, that the mechanism of action in EMDR is still unknown. It is argued that there has been an over-emphasis on neurophysiological explanations of EMDR. After a review of controlled studies and a discussion of proposed mechanisms, two case studies of EMDR therapy (one child and one adult) with pathological grief are presented. The cases are analyzed for their adaptive changes as this term is applied in Horowitz's control process theory (1992). It is argued that Horowitz's theory represents a theoretical foundation by which a psychological understanding of the EMDR psychotherapy process can be achieved.

Abstract: Disaster is commonly understood as an overwhelming misfortune that is not easily overcome or set right. Though our lives may go on after a disaster, it is virtually certain that they will have been transformed in some profound way. Nevertheless, it is very clear that not all who live through a disaster will be traumatized by it and that only a fraction of survivors will develop trauma-related disorders such as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Societies that have resources and choose to use them to shore up the infrastructure quickly and effectively will buffer their populations from increasing levels of PTSD. The impact of disasters on family and societal function and intervention priorities are discussed here. Report of the Task Force (2002) of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies is summarized next. The chapter then discusses psychotherapy as a response to disaster. Two approaches to postdisaster psychotherapy that have adapted well in diverse cultural environments are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR; Shapiro, 2001) and family systems approaches. The therapy process is presented next. Other topics here include family and cultural considerations and group treatment. A case example is presented.

Abstract: Abstract: The author responses to the professor B.A. Thyer's theory of theory-free empirical research in social work practice. Thyer provides a number of examples in the present article, several apparently by his doctoral students. It is not quite clear what he means when he offers them in the spirit of these contemporary qualitative times as anecdotal examples of this distortion of the research process, except to suggest that these case examples are just personal reflections and are not therefore to be taken seriously. That would be most unempirical and to no point. It seems at least to this reviewer that a set of theoretical conjectures formalized in a treatment package was being tested, perhaps something to the effect that the provision of education about the consequence of compliance or noncompliance together with case management support and reminders will significantly improve maternal compliance. Thyer apparently doesn't recognize this as theory testing or using theory, but he would need to spell out specifically why, for example, case management is a theory-free intervention.[Author's abstract]

Abstract: This entry complements EMDR 1114. In the 1996 article I argued that EMDR has been shown to be quite effective, particularly as a treatment for specific traumatic memories; and that contrary results can be explained by substandard practice (i.e., that EMDR per se was not being tested). It would follow that well-designed studies, involving therapists who are careful to use the EMDR protocol correctly, should yield positive results. In the case of EMDR, these results should be not merely equal to other established treatments, but far superior, as in other, similar studies.

Abstract: Effective dissemination of treatment methods requires not only training in high-profile interventions but also in cases of conceptualization and treatment planning skills that facilitate use of the interventions. In a series of six studies, the authors tested one training module with 303 paraprofessionals and mental health professionals in various training settings and five countries. Participants completed self-report ratings in response to a challenging acting-out client, both before and after completing a trauma-informed case-formulation exercise. The training intervention led participants to report decreased distress while considering challenging work-related scenarios, increased empathy and caring toward challenging clients, and increased comfort and confidence in their helping roles. In the final two studies, a trauma-informed treatment planning module was added, yielding additional benefit. At follow-up participants reported that the effects persisted and led to improved behaviors toward the clients.

Language: English

Abstract: EMDR Theory Exists is designed to provide a peer reviewed explanation of the neuro-physiological underpinnings of the AIP model. Through educating practitioners on the links between bilateral stimulation and the brain one’s ability to describe EMDR to consumers increases. The brain mechanisms impacted by bilateral stimulation move memories into a stage in which a human naturally heals. These neuro-physiological underpinnings are illustrated through synthesis with a complex case of childhood ritual abuse. Participants will be furnished the opportunity to practice applying these underpinnings to cases and improve their ability to explain EMDR’s potential impact on a consumer.

Abstract: Many of us are experienced enough to have observed the bandwagons of enthusiams as psychotherapy fads and trends have come and gone, each accompaied by overzealous claims.

Over 400 brands of psychotherapy have appeared claiming to be "the one-true-light," only to subsequently fade away. We joke about how we better use new miracle drugs quickly while expections for effectiveness are still high.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract: EMDR-based imagery re-scripting techniques with a modified concept of Cognitive Schema Modes (Young, 1999). Based on clinical case examples, the use of imagery techniques, which draw on all sensory modalities (involving cognitive, emotional and somatic systems) during the auditory application of EMDR will be described, to help complex trauma clients firstly approach and recognize and subsequently attach to and nurture the image of their own “inner child”. Rather than establishing a sense of unrealistic dependency on the therapist by integrating him or her as the sole nurturer, clients are encouraged to develop an image of their own ‘healthy adult’, who can learn to take on the role of internal re-nurturing, protection and healing of the ‘inner child’. Techniques for overcoming blockages between a client’s ‘healthy adult’ and their ‘inner child’ representations are described. It is proposed that differentiating between ‘child’ and ‘adult’ modes and tuning into these through deep-level EMDR processing, allows clients to re-connect to feelings associated with their earlier experiences of helplessness and dependency during childhood, which can now be re-experienced within a safe and nurturing context. It is suggested that this will allow higher order brain systems, such as the hippocampus, to remain active and therefore enable cognitive and structural re-organization of the stored material in the brain and body cells. Once a positive attachment bond between a client’s internalised ‘inner child’ and ‘healthy adult’ modes has been achieved this can then be utilized further during direct trauma processing work. It is argued that healing of the ‘inner child’ enables healing of the adult client so that a more positive and secure sense of self can be achieved.

Abstract: EMDR may seem innocuous, but it is not. There are well-established, validated treatments for many of the conditions for which EMDR is being recommended. Patients should not be induced to forgo established treatments for the sake of an unproven therapy -in effect, participating in a research project -when they cannot give informed consent because they are not told about the altern a t'I ves. Furthermore, public trust in the mental healtll professions is eroded when faddish treatments make exaggerated claims that inevitably fall under the weight of scientificevidence and the disillusionment of practitioners.

Abstract: [Chapter] Abstract: This chapter addresses several things. First, we consider the key features of eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), its theoretical foundations, and later its integration with other therapies. We consider the merits of the key (and controversial) components of EMDR and discuss the integration of EMDR in psychotherapy. We then consider the efficacy of EMDR in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and examine meta-analyses and studies that evaluate this therapeutic program. We rate the salient studies of EMDR and PTSD. Then we discuss EMDR and its limitations and contraindications. Finally, we present the EMDR protocol and three cases that demonstrate the use of EMDR.

Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to provide a kaleidoscopic overview of the field of family therapy/psychology within which the ensuing chapters can be better understood. To accomplish this massive task within the space limits set, the same format has been followed in the summarization of each of the main theoretical schools. Common key dimensions found in almost all theories are highlighted. The dimensions covered are a synopsis of the theory's basic structure and goals, the techniques and process of each school of therapy, its perceived treatment applicability, and process and/or outcome research on the methodology. Wherever possible, chapters in the book are alluded to in which the author selectively integrates a particular theoretical perspective and treatment approach with his or her Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) clinical work.

Abstract: The Comprehensive treatment protocols and treatment outcomes of EMDR have been well researched and documented. The calming effects of bilateral stimulation (BLS) and its impact on having images fade have also been documented. Consequently, there are many situations where stabilization and symptom reduction may be appropriate and/or necessary, such as trauma from terrorism, natural disasters and combat. This workshop will discuss a number of Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) interventions along a time and client stability continuum. Participants will learn and hone their skills using a number of stabilization and symptom reduction interventions through lecture, video and live demonstration, as well as small group practice of these more truncated, target specific, symptom desensitization protocols. Additionally, participants will understand when to select these interventions in preparing the client for the comprehensive EMDR treatment protocols.

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

Abstract: How does one create a Self that is both steady and solid enough to stay on course in the face of pressure to conform, yet capable of maintaining intimate connection with others over time? Bowen theory offers us a window into how this fundamental struggle plays out in each human life. Participants will develop a working knowledge of Bowenian concepts and how to use EMDR to help individuals clear away obstacles to healthy connection to Self and Other. This integrative approach then facilitates the re-working and repairing of significant relationships. The format will be lecture, case presentation, experiential exercise, and discussion.

Abstract: A history of failed or disappointing relationships is a primary symptom for many clients. Bowen Theory is a family systems model that offers a conceptual roadmap for working with individuals, as well as families on enhancing the capacity to be a Self, while staying in healthy connection to others. The theory helps guide clear thinking about how the emotional system works within a multigenerational frame and offers concepts that predict human relational behavior over time. Yet, as we know, intellectual understanding can only bring us so far without the kind of whole brain integration that can be so swiftly brought about with EMDR treatment. By integrating the Adaptive Information Processing Model and the EMDR approach with Bowen Theory, this treatment model facilitates a client learning to have a whole new experience in their significant relationships. This workshop will provide a basic overview of Bowen Theory. An integrative model using Bowen Theory and EMDR will then be described, followed by an in-depth case analysis illustrating the approach. The treatment includes an extensive assessment of the family system, the selection and processing of EMDR targets causing high levels of reactivity involving closeness to others, coaching to re-work and repair significant relationships in the family of origin, and finally the targeting of present day triggers in a newly forming relationship.

Abstract: The concept of Chronic Relationship Dysfunction was developed by the author to describe the experience of those who are unable to find and maintain a healthy relationship with a mate and who feel considerable related emotional distress. The types of experiences that people with this problem typically present in a clinical setting include the inability to make any meaningful contact with an appropriate partner and making a series of poor choices so that no relationship lasts. Clients seeking treatment for relationship problems can be effectively treated using a Bowen family systems perspective (Bowen, 1978; Kerr & Bowen, 1988) as the theoretical backdrop for understanding the bigger relational context. In addition, the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model (Shapiro, 2001) can be used to understand the physiological link between critical early life experiences and current dysfunction. Together these theories provide a cohesive theoretical base and integrative treatment approach for use with clients with chronic relationship dysfunction. The AIP model and the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) approach address current symptoms such as chronic relationship dysfunction by allowing the individual to reprocess the old material, thus integrating it with current information. The treatment model described here utilizes the basic structure of the EMDR protocol with the clinical application of Bowen Theory at certain key times.

Poster session presented at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Conference, London, England UK.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract: This presentation compares two different descriptions: Paradigm and State of Conscience, of the changes, observable in a psychotherapy integrated with EMDR, to establish which of the two descriptions is the most likely and consistent. Applying the method of the double description it will seek to identify contributions that may be 25 useful for the construction of a Unified Theory of Psychotherapy. At first, attention is focused upon the necessity to construct a bridge-language between the different dialects of psychotherapies. Short specialized definitions, such as Paradigm and State of Conscience, could be examples of the complex concepts, here denominated synthetic “t” metaphors, transtheorical or Tran disciplinal, to be researched for constructing a common language between the plurality of psychotherapies. Some implications of the methodological innovation carried on by EMDR in psychology, psychotherapy, and in other disciplines are then analysed and proposed. In particular, the easy integration of traditional psychotherapeutic methodologies with EMDR and the discovery of new target of psychotherapy, have led to looking at all psychological activities in terms of a spatial metaphor. On the basis of this a general map of the psychological territories of “sapiens sapiens” has been drafted. This general map is divided in two main areas: a-the psychological territories of the individual b-the psychological territories of the species, This species map has some specific characteristics; since “sapiens sapiens” are social animals, their relations have clear functions of social and environmental group interface too. These maps will be illustrated. In its original meaning, the definition of Paradigm will be found within the maps and consequently analysed in its variations. The amplified theory of State of Conscience will be presented and analysis, similar to the previous one, will be carried out. A description of EMDR, that may be useful for implementing its understanding, will be proposed at the end.

Klappentext EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) ist als Behandlungsform für traumatisierte Menschen in ihrer Wirkweise von der neurologischen Forschung umfassend bestätigt: Traumatisierungen verursachen häufig eine dysfunktionale Informationsverarbeitung im Gehirn, die zu quälenden Wiederholungen des traumatischen Ablaufs ohne Verarbeitungsmöglichkeiten führt. Dieser Kreislauf kann mit der »Augenbewegungstechnik«, die immer in eine sorgfältige psychotherapeutische Behandlung einzubinden ist, unterbrochen werden.

Abstract: Mit Therapieführer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) wurde 1989 von Francine Shapiro als eine neue Methode zur Behandlung traumatisierter Menschen vorgestellt. Die »Augenbewegungs-Desensibilisierungstherapie« gilt als spektakuläres Verfahren, weil sich in vielen Fällen bereits nach wenigen Behandlungen erstaunliche Besserungen einstellten. Traumatische Bilder und Erinnerungen werden in EMDR-Sitzungen bearbeitet, indem der Klient diese intensiv wiedererlebt, während er gleichzeitig eine Wahrnehmungsaufgabe erfüllt: Mit den Augen folgt er der sich hin und her bewegenden Hand des Therapeuten. Dies leitet auf neuronaler Ebene einen beschleunigten Verarbeitungsprozeß ein; belastende Erinnerungen verblassen, und neue, konstruktivere Gedanken können an ihre Stelle treten. Inzwischen wurde das Verfahren in vielen unabhängigen Studien überprüft und als effektive Behandlungstechnik bestätigt. Friedhelm Lamprecht war einer der ersten Psychotherapeuten, die EMDR erlernten und anwendeten. So gehören er und sein Autorenteam zu den wenigen Fachleuten, die in der Lage sind, über eigene Anwendungserfahrungen zu berichten, die Methode kritisch zu beurteilen, ihre Möglichkeiten und Grenzen zu beschreiben, eigene statistische Erfahrungswerte vorzulegen und selbstentwickelte Weiterführungen darzustellen. Darüber hinaus gibt das Buch eine allgemeine Einführung in die Theorie und Praxis heutiger Traumatherapie und enthält einen Therapieführer. Da sich EMDR sowohl in den verhaltenstherapeutischen als auch in den psychoanalytischen Therapierahmen einfügt, ist das Buch für eine breite professionelle Leserschaft von Interesse. Mit Beiträgen von Ursula Gast, Wolfgang Lempa, Martin Sack. »Der hohe Informationswert des Buches basiert einesteils darauf, dass Friedhelm Lamprecht und sein Autorenteam im deutschsprachigen Bereich mit zu den ersten Psychotherapeuten gehörten, die EMDR erlernt haben. Infolgedessen vermochten sie für ihre psychotraumatologische Forschungsarbeit eine hohe Kompetenz einzubringen. Andererseits erhält das Buch auch dadurch eine attraktive Note, dass die Befunde in den verschiedenartigen Settings eines Universitätskrankenhauses erhoben wurden.« Hellmuth Freyberger (Psychotherapie, Psychosomatik, medizinische Psychologie)

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: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) wurde vor mehr als zehn Jahren von Dr. Francine Shapiro entwickelt und galt anfangs insbesondere aufgrund nachweislich sehr schneller und überzeugender Behandlungserfolge als eine der ungewöhnlichsten psychotherapeutischen Methoden überhaupt. Aufgrund der positiven Ergebnisse wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen wird EMDR mittlerweile von vielen Therapeuten erfolgreich eingesetzt. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht das von Lipke entwickelte Vier-Aktivitäten-Modell, eine Ergänzung zu dem von Francine Shapiro (1995) entwickelten AIP-Modell der beschleunigten Informationsverarbeitung. Damit schafft Lipke einen Rahmen für das Verständnis psychotherapeutischer Arbeit im allgemeinen und für die Integration von Shapiros Theorie über die Verarbeitung dysfunktionaler Erinnerungen in die bisherigen Formen psychotherapeutischer Arbeit. Das vorgestellte Modell liefert eine Handlungsanleitung für die Anwendung von EMDR in der therapeutischen Praxis. Dabei kann Lipke auf seine fast dreißigjährige klinische Erfahrung mit traditionelleren Behandlungsansätzen ebenso zurückgreifen wie auf seine über zehnjährige Praxis in der Anwendung und Vermittlung von EMDR. Das Buch ist nicht als Einführung in die Theorie und Praxis von EMDR, sondern eher als Erläuterung der Arbeit mit dieser Methode in einem umfassenderen therapeutischen Zusammenhang gedacht.

Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract: Clients with complex PTSD, dissociation, and attachment issues are easily hyper – or hypo-aroused and may dissociate or abreact. Moreover, many clients report complex or “undifferentiated” responses to targets, including multiple affects and negative cognitions, confusion, or ego-state conflict in which processing loops, is blocked, or is inefficient. Possibly, multiple nodes are being activated in the setup phase simultaneously. The proposed remedy is to isolate the node at the epicenter of the target trauma for a more focused desensitization experience. A series of “Node Isolation Strategies” are described that lead to safe, efficient processing of difficult material, while maintaining inter-session stability.

Abstract: Great strides have been made in applying EMDR to different populations with a variety of diagnoses. Integrating this powerful treatment into couples therapy is relatively new and very promising. By augmenting EMDR with the explanatory power and clinical inventiveness of ego state theory, couples therapy can be brought to new levels of efficacy. Through didactic presentation and case illustration, participants will understand the relational nature of the Self, psychobiological and psychodynamic mechanisms of attachment, the structure of the relational self, and the challenges of individuation/differentiation. In addition, all participants will learn and be able to access the intergenerational pathogenesis of ego fragmentation, and will be able to identify clinical manifestations of ego state conflict in conjoint sessions, including the doublebind, split loyalty, and reenactments. Participants will be able to use this learning to diagnose the interlock of negative cognitions in their client couples, and implement strategies to contract for individually-focused EMDR therapy. Participants will be able to explain to clients the risks and benefits of conjoint EMDR, and understand the contraindications for conjoint EMDR. Participants will learn a model of EMDR treatment planning that includes target selection and salience, and will be able to utilize a progressive sequence of techniques for facilitation EMDR processing with dissociative clients who are blocked, looping, or at risk of abreaction.

Abstract: When Prometheus gave fire to the mortals, an angry Zeus chained him to Mount Causaus, where each day an eagle devoured his liver, and each night the liver grew back. Imagine for a moment that you must endure a variation of that Promethean hell. Instead of an eagle, your tormentor is a rapist, the murderer of your parents, a battlefield enemy who took away your legs and much more inside. For many people, the unbearable circumstances you are only imagining are real. The condition known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), forces it svictims to live the most traumatic events of their lives over and over again. Because the events are often wars, assaults or natural disasters, the persistence of memory alone would be difficult. But if you are a victim of PTSD, you may relive your tragic epiosde with such clarity that you can see the bloody bodies on the battlefield or smell the alcohol on your assailant's breath.

Abstract: Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) was described by Shapiro (1989a,b)as a new method for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In May 1987, while walking in the park, Shapiro noticed that her own disturbing thoughts changed then disappeared "without any conscious effort" (Shapiro, 1995) when they had been tempor ally paired with diagonal upward to and fro eye movements. Over the next six months Shapiro worked with approximately 70 people to develop a procedure based on the temporal pairing of distressing images and thoughts with various eye movements. Shapiro began to develop strategies to unblock stalled emotional processing, which was initiated by EMDR in non-patients. She successfully tried the method on a Vietnam veteran suffering from severe PTSD and then embarked upon a trial of EMDR on a mixed group of victims of rape, molestation and Vietnam combat trauma. Initially, EMDR achieved wide recognition as a new break through treatment for PTSD. This was, in part, because of very positive early reports (e.g. Wolpe & Abrams, 1991), but also because the EMDR effect appeared to occur with unprecedented speed, often in cases of PTSD that had previously resisted treatment by many other methods over a long period.

Topics include understanding trauma and its symptoms, how and why EMDR works (and when it won't), how to find the right therapist, and sample relaxation exercises. 2)This book discusses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Part I explains EMDR, the phases involved in treatment, the nature of trauma and its effect on memory. Theories about why EMDR works, how it can work for children, and safety issues are addressed. Part II provides illustrations from the author's experiences as an EMDR therapist, presenting client issues and how EMDR helped them. The author notes that the purpose of this book is to inform potential EMDR clients what to expect from EMDR therapy and how it may help in trauma healing. (PsycINFO Database)

Abstract: One of the beauties of EMDR is that, in most cases, clients can simply begin each set of eye movements by focusing on their associations from the previous set. The therapist simply says, "Go with that." This workshop will identify clients for whom "Go with that" will probably not work, clients who use avoidance or dissociation to defend against painful affect or who associate loosely and cause targets to "pancake." We will use video and transcripts to illustrate a variety of interventions and techniques to handle these more challenging clients and situations.

Abstract: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy often used in the treatment of PTSD. During EMDR the patient focuses on emotionally disturbing experiences while stimulus such as eye movement or finger-tapping. This dual (internal/external) focus is combined with frequent, briefsimultaneously focusing on an external periods of focusing on new associations as they arise. Throughout the therapy, the therapist methodically rates the patient’s SUDs (Subjective Units of Disturbance) on a scale of 0 - 10, (“0” being the lowest amount of stress the patient is presently experiencing about the target issue; “10” being the highest); and VoCs (Validity of Cognition) on a scale of 1 - 7, (“1” being the lowest amount of belief the patient holds in a specific positive statement about himself; “7” being the highest amount - ie: the positive statement is “completely true.”)

Abstract: Can eye movement reduce trauma? eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) has shown that people retrieving traumatic events while making 10–20 lateral eye movements, experienced less trauma than did those who simply reported the traumatic event without eye movement (see article on EMDR on p. 361). Students who either looked at a computer screen, tapped their fingers or followed a symbol across a computer screen with their eyes also reported significantly less vivid imagery of autobiographical events in the eye movement condition; images we re most vivid in the control condition. The results suggest that visuospatial working memory is disrupted by eye movement, reducing the vividness of the recollection. However, EMDR suggests that future recollections of the event should also be less vivid.

A combination of family therapy and EMDR can provide thorough comprehensive treatment for the child and nonoffending family members. The integrated treatment process developed by this author has four stages, as further discussed here. To simplify, the family situation is configured as a nonoffending protective mother with a child abused by the mother's husband or live-in boyfriend.

Abstract: Of course, not all therapists who learn TFT stick to it exclusively. Many combine talk therapy with both TFT and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), in which a client recalls a traumatic memory while moving his or her eyes in a prescribed pattern. While both therapies apparently break up long-held patterns, EMDR is usually described in terms of physiology, not energy. EMDR, practitioners say, reconnects the brain's neural networks that have been isolated by trauma.

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: Standard EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) technique consists of repeatedly pairing recollections of the uauma with sets of eye movements. until patients' subjective levels of distress (SUDS) are dissipated for each and every aspect of the trauma. Once major elements of the event are desensitized, minor elements which were "overshadowed" or "crowded out" by the major elements of the event may surface. It is necessary to ensure that all associations and details of the trauma are recounted and desensitized by the therapist's use of EMDR.

Abstract: Dr Francine Shapiro, psychologist and Senior Research Fellow at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, USA discovered the powerful effect of eye movements in 1987. She then developed and researched a psychotherapeutic approach called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) which is now widely acknowledged as a highly effective treatment for PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). In 2005 it was validated by NICE as a preferred treatment for PTSD. There are now over 4,000 EMDR trained therapists in the UK and Ireland, from a wide variety of theoretical backgrounds, integrating EMDR into their treatment of numerous presenting psychological problems.

Abstract: Grounded theory method was used to explore the experiences of patients suffering the effects of psychological trauma who had received eye movement desensitization and reprocessing approach (EMDR) as treatment. Saturation of the categories was achieved with the analysis of 15 interviews. The basic social psychological process that emerged is transforming suffering and the core category is changes in perception. The three subcategories, relinquishing, presencing and emerging, form the conceptual framework for the stages of transforming suffering. The stages of relinquishing, presencing and emerging contain concepts and their properties to guide practice. The two dimensions of processing subsumed within each stage are temporal perspectives (past, present and future) and processing fields (physical field, cognitive field and transformative field). These concepts help explain the progression of the patient to experience resolution of the trauma and/or related symptoms/behaviors. Transforming suffering: changes in perception using EMDR is the resultant substantive theory. The implications of this theoretical framework for psychotherapeutic practice and future research are reviewed.

Abstract: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a revolutionary, powerful therapeutic method for healing the devastation of trauma. In addition to the treatment of PTSD, EMDR can treat the psychological effects of smaller traumas related to symptoms of depression, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, creativity blocks and relationship difficulties. Not only can healing occur more rapidly with EMDR than in traditional therapy, but the clearing of emotional/physical blockages results in positive spirituality.

Abstract: Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a novel approach to treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It relies upon having clients access images of their traumas, negative self-schemas, emotions, and somatic memories and reprocessing these to resolution of the traumatic memory. The simultaneous linking of these components is accompanied by alternating stimulations of the brains hemispheres using either auditory tones, tactile sensation, or rapid eye movements across the visual field. Successful completion of the treatment results in trauma images fading, positive cognitive shift, reduction of negative affect, and disappearance of somatic sensations. Shapiro (1995) proposed an 'accelerated processing model' for EMDR that essentially pulls together the different strands of the treatment in a coherent way. It suggests that the brain heals itself, as with tissue damage, and changes in symptomatology are always from negative to positive. What Shapiro's model does not do is operationally define her concepts and explain the way changes in dysfunctional information occur. For example, the EMDR model, as with Beck's (1987) Clinical Cognitive Model, accepts that clients place new meaning on dysfunctionally stored information, but lacks explanation of how this occurs: i.e. the shift from irrational to rational beliefs, and from 'cold' to 'hot' cognitions. This paper rectifies the difficulties the 'accelerated &ocessing model' has in acting as a theoretical basis for EMDR. It describes firstly the received wisdom on the neurophysiological, and psychological correlates of PTSD. It then goes on to examine the treatment components considered necessary for the effective resolution of the disorder. In its final phase, the paper considers how well models of information processing explain the acquisition and maintenance of PTSD. It adopts a modification of the Ingerchanging Cognitive Subsystems (ICS) approach (Teasdale & Barnard, 1993), a theory based in cognitive science, to operationally define EMDR's component parts and its process in the treatment of PTSD. The ICS approach is recommended as a useful way to conceptualise the maintenance of PTSD and a strong theoretical basis for EMDR.

Language: English
Format: Conference
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.

Language: English
Format: Conference
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.

Abstract: A person’s response to trauma is always both physical and emotional. For many, it is also important to integrate the spiritual aspect into the recovery. Often there are three parts to holistic trauma psychotherapy: (1) stabilization (understanding symptoms in a new way, as well as learning skills to manage emotions and cope with life stresses); (2) processing the trauma itself; and (3) reexamining the spiritual meaning, life direction, and relationships.

Abstract: Those who have attended Francine Shapiro’s Plenary Addresses in recent EMDRIA Conferences are aware of her wish that EMDR clinicians accurately reproduce the EMDR procedure and understand her Adaptive Information Processing model. This concern was sparked by the frequency of phone calls to the EMDR Institute from clients who had been treated with variations of the EMDR protocol with poor results. Also, here in Pennsylvania, we have had several veterans come into our treatment program claiming that they had been treated with EMDR and it didn’t work. When we asked for a description of the treatment, it was clear that the therapist had added elements to the desensitization phase, such as affi rmations, positive imagery, and relaxation techniques.

Abstract: Oui, on peut guérir définitivement, et dans certains cas très rapidement, d'un problème psychologique grave. Beaucoup de gens ont eu leur vie transformée grâce à cette thérapie inventée en 1987 aux Etats-Unis par Francine Shapiro. L'EMDR n'est pas un effet de mode passager, mais l'expression d'une découverte majeure : notre cerveau est naturellement équipé pour guérir de ses blessures psychiques. Il peut cicatriser. L'EMDR n'est que le moyen qui permet de remettre en route le processus de retraitement de l'information bloquée au jour de l'événement traumatique. Jacques Roques veut éclairer ce mécanisme. Il donne de nombreux exemples de pathologies : traumatismes simples, traumatismes complexes et aussi empoisonnements psychiques, quand le traumatisme, distillé à petite dose comme un venin, ne se révèle qu'au cours de la thérapie. S'appuyant sur la clinique et sur ce qu'on sait aujourd'hui du fonctionnement cérébral, Jacques Roques développe des hypothèses nouvelles permettant de comprendre ces pathologies, ainsi que le fonctionnement de l'EMDR, pour améliorer la prise en charge des malades et leur permettre de recouvrer encore plus vite la santé. Ecrit dans un langage simple, donnant la parole à ses patients aussi bien qu'à ses collègues, Jacques Roques cherche surtout à diffuser un savoir utile. Comment accepter qu'aujourd'hui tant de gens continuent à souffrir alors qu'ils pourraient être définitivement guéris?

Abstract: Voici une découverte thérapeutique qui bouleverse notre compréhension du fonctionnement psychique. Conçu en 1987 aux USA par Francine Shapiro pour guérir les traumatismes psychiques, l'EMDR permet de soigner aussi bien d'autres problématiques névrotiques (phobies, angoisses, états dépressifs, etc.). Cette méthode a été importée en France en 1994. Son efficacité a pu être vérifiée aussitôt en cabinet et en milieu hospitalier. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ou EMDR peut se traduire par Désensibilisation et retraitement (de l'information) par les mouvements oculaires. Si le mouvement de l'œil revêt effectivement une grande importance dans la gestion neurologique de la mémoire, il n'en est pas l'unique ressort comme on pourrait le croire. D'autres modes complémentaires de stimulation sensorielle alternée du cerveau, mis en œuvre par un thérapeute expérimenté, peuvent activer pareillement le travail de cicatrisation psychique et de guérison. Ce livre a pour vocation d'éclairer et d'informer, mais aussi d'enseigner. Il est accessible à toute personne désireuse de comprendre la pathologie et son traitement. A vocation didactique, il s'adresse également aux professionnels du soin en raison de sa dimension théorique approfondie et de ses développements cliniques.

Abstract: While strolling through a park one day, Francine Shapiro notices that certain of her troubling thoughts suddenly lost their distressing qualities. Curious about what had happened; Shapiro regenerated the mental images and again found them no longer upsetting. Attending closely to her behavior, she realized that her eyes had been spontaneously and rapidly shifting back and forth. Suspecting that rapid eye movements might possess hitherto untapped therapeutic powers, Shapiro began informal tests on her friends. She asked them to concentrate on a traumatic or disturbing memory and to track her finger visually as she moved it back and forth in front of their eyes. Her friends reported feeling better and their memories were no longer disturbing.

Abstract: The following two cases are excerpted from Babette Rothschild’s newly published book 'The Body Remembers Casebook: Unifying Methods and Models in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD' (W.W. Norton 2003). The first case advocates creative adaptation of learned methods, in this case EMDR. The second demonstrates the importance of regulating hyperarousal and halting flashbacks to facilitate increased client self-control and clear thinking. Both cases illuminate Rothschild’s principle of applying creative common sense to theory. The result is safer trauma therapy and interventions specially tailored to suit the specific needs of individual client situations.

Abstract: Das EMDR-Behandlungsverfahren (EMDR= eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) wurde von der amerikanischen Psychologin Francine Shapiro entwickelt und seit 1989 als manualisiertes Therapieverfahren zur Behandlung von Patienten mit Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörungen (PTSD) und anderen traumabezogenen Symptomen eingesetzt. Die Grundvorgehensweise besteht darin, dass der Patient in der Sicherheit einer haltgebenden therapeutischen Beziehung eine Konfrontation mit seinen traumatischen Erinnerungen erlebt. Ziel der Traumabearbeitung ist die Integration von kognitiven, emotionalen und körperlichen Reaktionen auf das Trauma indem die Erinnerungen wiederbelebt, wahrgenommen und verarbeitet werden. Anders formuliert, wird die durch das Trauma induzierte Dissoziation wieder aufgehoben. Die in der traumatischen Situation unterbrochene Verbindung zwischen Wahrnehmungen, Gedanken, Emotionen und Körperreaktionen wird wieder hergestellt. Danach erfolgt eine Bearbeitung von dysfunktionalen Kognitionen, wie z.B. von Schuldgefühlen, die auf unrealistischen Einschätzungen der traumatischen Situation beruhen (Shapiro 1998). Abweichend von der klassischen verhaltenstherapeutischen Traumaexposition werden im EMDR die Traumaexpositionsphasen nur relativ kurz (30 – 90 sec) durchgeführt und durch bilaterale Stimulierung in Form von Augenbewegungen (der Hand des Therapeuten mit den Augen folgen) oder durch alternative Berührungsreize auf die linke und rechte Hand (sog. Tapping) oder durch alternativ dargebotene Töne ausgelöst.

Abstract: The early studies of trauma in late 19th century Paris centered on the clinical phenomenon of conversion hysteria, a dissociative disorder. Janet and Freud wrote extensively on this topic, and actually described many of the posttraumatic syndromes that we are revisiting today. I will make the case that the late syndromes of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, especially dissociation, are clearly the defining symptomatic and physiological manifestations of trauma. These syndromes all have prominent somatic features, all of which represent posttraumatic sornatosensory implicit memory. This unconscious, body-based feature of the posttraumatic syndrome presents a compelling case for the universal application of somatically-based therapies such as EMDR in the healing of trauma.

Abstract: Bestselling author Scarf (Intimate Partners; Unfinished Business) explores new therapies that claim to be able to "reprocess" or "detoxify" traumatic memories through physical manipulation of the nervous system. Via accessibly presented neuroscience, Scarf explains how the body stores memories of intensely stressful experiences. A writer rather than a clinician (she's a senior fellow at Yale's Bush Center in Child Development and Social Policy), Scarf generates her data through meeting women subjects in marital distress and exploring their pasts through gentle discussion. Throughout, Scarf weaves her own autobiographical reflections, centered on painful memories of an autocratic father and a negligent mother. Seeking to advance her own emotional well-being, she enters into a reprocessing therapy session and becomes an advocate of the technique; she persuades one of her subjects to try it out, with apparently successful results. Although the physical ailments presented in Scarf's account seem extremely slight, she makes much of a sense of emotional breakthrough and release. Scarf's investigation into the methodology of reprocessing therapies is scientifically limited, yet she does allow us some insights into how they function. Admirers of her work will enjoy her ability to evoke relationship dynamics (including abusive relationships), her seductively flowing style and her emphasis on perceptive readings of life histories. Readers with a serious interest in psychology will find little cutting-edge scholarship here, and some may question why all Scarf's subjects are women.

Abstract: Special Section on the 20th Anniversary of EMDR
This article provides an overview of selective issues relating to adult posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its treatment with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). The article begins by providing a historical overview of PTSD, and debates about the etiology and definition of PTSD are discussed. The most predominant theories of PTSD are summarized by highlighting how they have evolved from traditional behavioral accounts based on the assumption that PTSD is an anxiety disorder to theories that now incorporate information-processing models. This article then examines the development of EMDR and the corresponding body of research that clearly demonstrates its efficacy for the treatment for adult PTSD. The underlying mechanisms of EMDR are discussed, with a focus on the importance of the eye movement component and how the therapeutic processes in EMDR differ from those of traditional exposure therapy. Finally, the adaptive information-processing (AIP) model that underlies EMDR is outlined, and evidence for the model is summarized. The article concludes by suggesting future research based on questions raised about PTSD and its treatment with EMDR when the AIP model is compared to other information-based theories of PTSD.

Abstract: Origin of EMDR: "I noticed that some disturbing thoughts I was having were suddenly disappearing, and when I went to bring them back, they just didn't have the same charge anymore, they just weren't as emotionally loaded; ..I notic& that when that kind of thought came to mind, my eyes started moving spontaneously in a certain way, a very rapid ballistic movement, and I noticed the thought shift out of consciousness, and then when I brought it back again. it no longer had that same charge; . . . I wanted to see whether it would work if I did it deliberately, so I brought up something that bothered me, something minor, and I moved my eyes in the same way, and I found the same thing happen; the thought shifted, and then on retrieval it wasn't as valid. it didn't have the same emotional load; .. . I wanted to see if it would work for anyone else"

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.

Abstract: Over the past two decades, professional psychology has witnessed a growing movement towards the utilization of psychotherapies that have empirical support. Despite this development, therapies that have not been empirically supported continue to experience widespread use. Concurrently, a collection of novel interventions, known as Power/Energy therapies (P/ET’s), has emerged. Although these therapies are based on questionable theoretical foundations and enjoy little or no empirical support, their popularity with clinicians appears to be strong and growing. There is scant research examining individual differences with respect to the practice habits of professional psychologists. The present study examined whether critical thinking skills are a factor in psychologists’ choice of therapeutic interventions, including their use of P/ET’s. As hypothesized, participants who reported using a number of techniques from Power and Energy therapies scored significantly lower on a measure of critical thinking skills. Also as hypothesized, individuals who reported using a number of cognitive-behavioral techniques scored significantly higher on the measure of critical thinking skills. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful and relatively new form of psychotherapy that is challenging everything we believe or have assumed about emotions and the nature of change. Where once it was accepted that psychotherapy often took years, depending on the nature of the problem (and even then outcomes were less than wonderful), therapists and clients are finding that problems that were once resistant to years of psychotherapy are being resolved in a relatively short period of time; sometimes, within a few sessions.

Abstract: In this chapter, the use of the genogram is highlighted as a tool for couple or family assessment, to determine therapeutic options, and to intervene. Typical symbols used and questions asked for the purpose of building the genogram are described. Several cases are presented, the first of which illustrates the intertwining of assessment and intervention in couple's therapy. The second case presents the challenge of interviewing and drawing a genogram of a family where there are multiple partners, children by different partners, and complex relationship dynamics. The third case shows both the biological and adoptive families of one adult. In the portrayal of the cases, points of referral for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy are noted. Adaptations of the traditional genogram, including socially constructed genograms, projective genograms, and community genograms, are discussed along with limitations of the genogram technique.

Abstract: Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), often resulting in dramatic symptom relief in clients, has become an increasingly popular treatment for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and a variety of other diagnoses and symptoms. EMDR may prove more effective and timely than other methods in treating college students for a number of common presenting concerns, particularly within the framework of the brief therapy model. The following article will provide an overview of the process of and theory behind EMDR treatment, and the current research on its outcomes. The use of EMDR in treating college students will then be considered. [Haworth Press]

Abstract: The relationship between patient and therapist is unique in important ways when compared to relationships between clients and other professionals such as physicians, dentists, attorneys, and accountants. The key difference is present from first contact: it is not clearly understood exactly what will transpire. There is no other professional relationship in which consumers are more in the dark than when they first go to see a therapist. In other fields, the public is fairly well informed about what the professional does. Tradition, the media, and general experience have provided consumers with a baseline by which to judge what transpires. If you break your arm, the orthopedist explains she will take an X ray and set the bone; she tells you something about how long the healing will take if all goes well and gives you an estimate of the cost. When you go to a dentist, you expect him to look at your teeth, take a history, explain what was noted, and recommend a course of treatment with an estimate of time and cost. Your accountant will focus on bookkeeping, tax reports, and finances, and help you deal with regulatory agencies. Consumers enter these relationships expecting that the training, expertise, and ethical obligations of the professional will keep the client's best interests foremost. Both the consumer and the professional are aware of each person's role, and it is generally expected that the professional will stick to doing what he or she is trained to do. The consumer does not expect his accountant to lure him into accepting a new cosmology of how the world works or to "channel" financial information from "entities" who lived thousands of years ago; or for his dentist to induce him to believe that the status of his teeth was affected by an extraterrestrial experimenting on him. Nor does the patient expect the orthopedist to lead him to think the reason he fell and broke his arm was because he was under the influence of a secret satanic cult. But seeing a therapist is a far different situation for the consumer. In the field of psychotherapy there is no relatively agreed upon body of knowledge, no standard procedures that a client can expect. There are no national regulatory bodies, and not every state has governing boards or licensing agencies. There are many types and levels of practitioners. Often the client knows little or nothing at all about what type of therapy a particular therapist "believes in" or what the therapist is really going to be doing in the relationship with the client. In meeting a therapist for the first time, most consumers are almost as blind as a bat about what will transpire between the two of them. At most, they might think they will probably talk to the therapist and perhaps get some feedback or suggestions for treatment. What clients might not be aware of is the gamut of training, the idiosyncratic notions, and the odd practices that they may be exposed to by certain practitioners. Consumers are a vulnerable and trusting lot. And because of the special, unpredictable nature of the therapeutic relationship, it is easy for them to be taken advantage of. This makes it all the more incumbent on therapists to be especially ethical and aware of the power their role carries in our society. The misuse and abuse of power is one of the central factors in what goes wrong. Questions to Ask Your Prospective Therapist Ultimately, a therapist is a service provider who sells a service. A prospective client should feel free to ask enough questions to be able to make an informed decision about whether to hire a particular therapist. We have provided a general list of questions to ask a prospective therapist, but feel free to ask whatever you need to know in order to make a proper evaluation. Consider interviewing several therapists before settling on one, just as you might in purchasing any product. Draw up your list of questions before phoning or going in for your first appointment. We recommend that you ask these questions in a phone interview first, so that you can weed out unlikely candidates and save yourself the time and expense of initial visits that don't go anywhere. If during the process a therapist continues to ask you, "Why do you ask?" or acts as though your questioning reflects some defect in you, think carefully before signing up. Those types of responses will tell you a lot about the entire attitude this person will express toward you - that is, that you are one down and he is one up, and that furthermore you are quaint to even ask the "great one" to explain himself. If you are treated with disdain for asking about what you are buying, think ahead: how could this person lead you to feel better, plan better, or have more self-esteem if he begins by putting you down for being an alert consumer? Remember, you may be feeling bad and even desperate, but there are thousands of mental health professionals, so if this one is not right, keep on phoning and searching.

Abstract: BAGGRUND Den 30.09.1994 fløj jeg til Amsterdam. Formålet med rejsen var at deltage i en workshop, hvor jeg skulle lære en ny behandlingsmetode til brug for klienter, der lider af Post Traumatisk Stress Syndrom (PTSD). Min interesse for dette klientel var vakt, da jeg i 1993 var blevet tilknyttet Falcks Redningskorps Psykolognetværk. Samme år deltog jeg i et seminar som Falck arrangerede. Underviseren var den karismatiske norske psykolog, Atle Dyregrov (AD). Han omtalte den amerikanske psykolog, Francine Shapiro (FS), og den særlige behandling hun havde udviklet og som hun benævnte EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitiazion and Reprocessing). AD redegjorde for, at man endnu savnede fuldgyldig videnskabelig dokumentation for behandlingens effektivitet, men at der allerede forelå så mange indikationer på behandlingens effekt, at man kunne regne med, at det kun var et spørgsmål om tid, før en sikker dokumentation var i hus.

Abstract: EMDR es un modelo psicoterapéutico creado en 1987 por la psicóloga norteamericana Francine Shapiro. Se le conoce por su sigla en inglés que corresponde a “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing”. En español se lo nombra como “Desensibilización y Reprocesamiento por medio de Movimiento Ocular”. El hecho de que se lo nombre por los movimientos oculares guarda más relación con el momento histórico del descubrimiento que con el marco conceptual. Los movimientos oculares son sólo un componente de un enfoque integral y complejo. Shapiro observó casualmente que cuando tenía pensamientos perturbadores, sus ojos se movían en forma espontánea y rápida hacia arriba y hacia abajo y coincidentemente, los pensamientos desaparecían o perdían su potencial negativo. Repitiendo deliberadamente este proceso, es decir, concentrándose en pensamientos perturbadores y moviendo simultáneamente sus ojos, comprobó que los movimientos oculares tenían un efecto beneficioso sobre sus pensamientos y emociones. Este efecto, en el que las imágenes y pensamientos negativos desaparecen o ya no se sienten con la misma carga emocional, se conoce como “Desensibilización” y por esa causa, Shapiro llamó a su método EMD (Desensibilización por el Movimiento Ocular).

More than 25,000 therapists have been trained to use it, especially for post-traumatic stress disorders, he said. But objective scientific testing has shown it to be ineffective.

Abstract: Over the last decade, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming (EMDR) has emerged as a well documented treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A growing body of research is exploring its application to the treatment of other pathological conditions, including substance use disorders. EMDR was developed in the late 1980s by Francine Shapiro, at the time a graduate student in English literature confronting a diagnosis of cancer. Ms. Shapiro noted that, when dealing with her own distressing memories, simultaneously focusing on eye movements appeared to decrease the associated negative emotions. She assumed that eye movements had a desensitizing effect, and upon further investigation found that others also had the same response to the technique.

Abstract: At least in Britain, it’s official: psychotherapy works better than medication for PTSD. You shouldn’t be too surprised. The last time we covered PTSD (TCPR April 2004) we reviewed the SSRIs and found them to have evidence of only modest efficacy. Now, according to the latest treatment guidelines from Britain's National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), antidepressants are no longer recommended as a first-line treatment, but cognitive therapy is.

Abstract: Mental health professionals often disagree about some aspect of psychotherapy, but it’s rare for these disputes to be as prolonged and intense as they have been in the case of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). This unconventional technique, developed by the American psychologist Francine Shapiro, was originally intended for the treatment of traumatic stress reactions and anxietyprovoking memories.

Abstract: Casusconceptualisatie en specifieke patiëntengroepen Een aantal jaren geleden verscheen het Handboek EMDR: een geprotocolleerde behandelmethode voor de gevolgen van psychotrauma. Hierin wordt gedetailleerd en stapsgewijs beschreven hoe het basisprotocol van Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, ofwel EMDR, in de praktijk moet worden uitgevoerd. Het Handboek EMDR is dan ook het leerboek bij de EMDR basistrainingen die door de Vereniging EMDR Nederland worden erkend. Wat in het handboek ontbreekt is informatie over de behandeling van lastige problematiek en ernstig beschadigde patiënten. Het Praktijkboek EMDR voorziet in deze lacune. Het is daarmee het boek waarmee de vele toepassingsmogelijkheden van deze methode op heldere wijze worden beschreven. Een aantal experts is gevraagd hun ervaringen met EMDR bij een specifieke doelgroep of stoornis (onder anderen kinderen, patiënten met eetstoornissen, complexe traumagerelateerde stoornissen of ernstige persoonlijkheidspathologie) te beschrijven. De nadruk ligt daarbij op de praktijk. Om deze bijdragen van een kader te voorzien wordt allereerst uitgebreid stilgestaan bij de voor EMDR kenmerkende wijze van conceptualiseren van klachten, het identificeren van de juiste targets en de daaruit voortvloeiende behandeling. Daaropvolgend wordt uitgelegd op welke wijze specifieke en specialistische interventies (bijvoorbeeld Resource Development and Installation (RDI) en Cognitive interweaves) kunnen worden ingezet. Dit wordt geïllustreerd aan de hand van heldere protocollen, opmerkelijke casuïstiek en verduidelijkende stukjes dialoog. Het boek is daarmee een must voor iedere behandelaar in de GGZ die de volledige reikwijdte van EMDR wil leren gebruiken.

Abstract: Abstract: Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a well-supported evidence-based psychosocial treatment that clinically and significantly helps clients meeting the DSM criteria for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Dozens of well-controlled clinical trials and dozens of single-subject studies bear this out, many designed and conducted by social workers. Most of these studies have involved Caucasian clients, a few used African Americans. But both groups seem to respond well, as do both males and females. Suppose a social worker has a new client from Mongolia with OCD. Falsificationism may well be the strongest approach to scientific inquiry regarding the validity of theories. The American Psychiatric Association used the following types of evidence in developing its practice guidelines: a randomized clinical trial, prospectively designed with double-blind assessments and treatment and control groups, a clinical trial, similarly prospective, but lacking blind assessments or control groups, cohort or longitudinal studies and case-control studies, retrospective studies of clients.

Abstract: 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: Research has shown that anxiety in children is highly influenced by parenting style, perception of family support (Rapee & Melville, 1997), and family relational patterns. Social Anxiety Disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) is considered to be a common disorder in young adults. According to Shapiro's (1995, 2001) Adaptive Information Processing model, a neurotic symptomatic situation in a young adult with an unfinished separation process may be connected to unresolved separations and other past traumas. This chapter discusses research and clinical evidence, and treatment of young adults with complex separation problems. Integration of family systems therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR; Shapiro, 2001) is discussed. In this integrated treatment procedure, family therapy follows the experiential family systems therapy approach (Giat Roberto, 1992; Napier & Whitaker, 1978), with elements of multigenerational and Structural Family Therapy styles (Bowen, 1978; Minuchin & Fishman, 1992). The EMDR standard protocol is followed. A case example and concluding discussion complete the chapter. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Many victims of childhood trauma struggle with recurrent suicidal thoughts and behaviors even after traditional therapies. We used a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) plus Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in five patients with histories of childhood trauma and recurrent suicidal thoughts to reduce or eliminate suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and attempts after 3 months to 5 years follow up. These findings suggest that CBT plus EMDR might be a combination therapy to reduce or eliminate suicidal thoughts in victims of childhood trauma.

Language: English
Format: Journal
Abstract: Ever since people's responses to overwhelming experiences have been systematically explored, researchers have noted that a trauma is stored in somatic memory and expressed as changes in the biological stress response. Intense emotions at the time of the trauma initiate the long-term conditional responses to reminders of the event, which are associated both with chronic alterations in the physiological stress response and with the amnesias and hypermnesias characteristic of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Continued physiological hyperarousal and altered stress hormone secretion affect the ongoing evaluation of sensory stimuli as well. Although memory is ordinarily an active and constructive process, in PTSD failure of declarative memory may lead to organization of the trauma on a somatosensory level (as visual images or physical sensations) that is relatively impervious to change. The inability of people with PTSD to integrate traumatic experiences and their tendency, instead, to continuously relieve the past are mirrored physiologically and hormonally in the misinterpretation of innocuous stimuli as potential threats. Animal research suggests that intense emotional memories are processed outside of the hippocampally mediated memory system and are difficult to extinguish. Cortical activity can inhibit the expression of these subcortically based emotional memories. The effectiveness of this inhibition depends, in part, on physiological arousal and neurohormonal activity. These formulations have implications for both the psychotherapy and the pharmacotherapy of PTSD.[MLM MEDLINE]

Stabilization groups with ethnic minority women after domestic violence: Presentation of a model based on structural theory of dissociation, EMDR, intercultural comunication and expressive artwork. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the EMDR Europe Association, Paris, France.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract: Alternative to violence has developed a group treatment model structured by the theory of structural dissociation and EMDR trauma treatment theory. Woman with ethnic minority background received short terms group treatment at a shelter for victims of domestic violence at an outpatient clinic and at a domestic violence family treatment center. The groups were supplements to individual therapy/counseling. We have had 10 groups; one with only Pakistani women, several mixed ethnic minority cultural groups with translation and groups in “simple Norwegian.” Recruitment was enhanced by the policy of sharing of symptoms and problems today with no obligation to share about personal past. The model has low drop out rate and therapist working with the individuals report more effective treatment sessions. For some women the group becomes the preferred choice of treatment. We discovered that early phase trauma work can be done in a group format with severely and recently traumatized women. Methods used are resource installation and safe place work, increase awareness f negative/positive cognitions, butterfly hug, nightmare protocol, expressive art therapy techniques as grounding, breathing techniques working with personal borders, working with imagination and playfulness. Structural therapy of dissociation concepts as ANP/EP structures and mental capacity, working from here and now, focusing on the ANP above EPs ware woven into how the therapists regulate the group process and plan content. The theory organizes how we handle flashbacks, current acute crisis and how we focus on the women’s’ personal trauma. We also teach about the effect of violence in relationships, the need to work on personal safety and the needs of children in the aftermath of violence. Theory from the filed of intercultural communication gave us guidelines in working with women from high context, indirect and collectivistic cultures. A workbook for the clients on violence, PTSD symptoms and stabilisation treatment has been developed in the aftermath of these groups and is translated into several languages. We will present the material at the conference in the structure of the early fase trauma treatment group format. Showing in vivo how we apply the theory to severely traumatized women. We will share some of our favorite group exercises, metaphors and group rituals. Our goal is: 1. to show how the theory of structural dissociation serves as guideline for organizing and resulting treatment with severely traumatized clients in groups. 2. Give insight into typical adjustments that have been made to tailor treatment to ethnic minority populations. 3. Explain how expressive art work needs to make adjustments to the population of severely traumatized women. 4. Finally show how the group uses elements from EMDR and enhances individual EMDR work. In our experience, the stabilisation groups have integrated the heart, mind and body in the work of healing with a population that is often found difficult to treat effectively. We hare started to retain other therapists in using the model and are in the process of applying for a research grant.

Abstract: Since official recognition of post-traumatic stress a number of ways. These include intrusive recollections, indicated by nightmares or “flashbacks” to the event, avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma, and increased arousal (DSM-III-R, 1987). Behavioural approaches have been somewhat successful in treatment (e.g.., Cooper & Clum, 1989; Keane & Kalouped, 1982) however, such methods have been time consuming, require intense effort by the patient, and symptom improvement can be slow.

Abstract: Recently, among advanced nations, including the United States, there have been growing interest in trauma related psychopathology. Regarding Japan, since Hanshin Awaji Great Earthquake and Sarin gas terrorism by Aum Shinrikyo, interest for psychological trauma has grown high. It is only about twenty years since active research and discussion around these issues started. Therefore, there are still hot dispute around psychopathology of these disorders. Also, therapeutic method is ever progressing. Regarding psychotherapy, there remain a lot of dispute and no general agreement has been made. In this paper, I would like to summarize the literature on psychological trauma and trauma-related psychopathology historically and provide current overview about the theory and practice of this pathology. The summary of the overview is as follows: 1. Psychological trauma is defined as a state caused by traumatic event described in DSM-IV, not as a traumatic event itself. Traumatic mental disorder should be understood as a spectrum of disorders, ranging from phobias and panic reactions related to distinct traumatic events to personality disorders, where intense and chronic traumatic experience is integrated into the personality organization. 2. Historically speaking, traumatic disorders were studied from two directions; war neuroses and etiology of hysteria. Each is corresponds to physioneurosis model and memory processing disturbance model, respectively, which is thought to be two major etiological models of this disorder. 3. Regarding treatment, although corresponding therapeutic idea for each model is provided, currently, most promising treatments are pharmacotherapy using SSRI and novel cognitive-behavioral techniques such as PE (prolonged exposure treatment), SIT (stress inoculation training) and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). As for psychotherapy, hot arguments has been done as to how authentic recovered traumatic memories are and how to deal with them. Regardless of these disputes, it is essential to establish empathic therapeutic bond with the patients.

Abstract: What a weird thing – that was my first thought, as I read a short notice about EMDR for the first time. A work in a psychiatric/psychotherapeutic day treatment programme, the number of multiple-traumatised patients increased rapidly. One patient decided to climb the roof and jumped, nearly to her death, driven by the memories of long-ago cruelties her father had done to her. With this in mind, I was conscious of urgently needing a method to treat these patients and finding something to manage the challenges of intrusive pictures and memories.

Abstract: The difficult behaviors exhibited by children who meet the criteria for a diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) can be challenging to both parents and professionals. Utilizing the point of view of three models--attachment, Adaptive Information Processing, and family systems--can enhance the clinician's understanding of attachment-related symptoms. Although the models hold shared views, each brings an additional piece of the puzzle to case conceptualization and treatment planning. Family systems therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy are different but complementary approaches to improving attachment relationships. Some general treatment strategies combining a family systems approach with an EMDR approach that are helpful in working with families affected by disturbed parent-child attachments are presented here. Case examples and a concluding discussion complete the chapter. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: EMDR and Family Systems Theory offer different but complimentary approaches to improving quality of attachment relationships. The presentation will provide a clinical understanding of the similarities between EMDR, famlly systems, and attachment theory models and an ovewiew of the combined treatment approach. Participants will learn to identify possible precursors to attachment problems within the family that may be useful as targets for EMDR processing, and specific family therapy strategies that will help interrupt negative feedback loops. Participants will learn to utilize parents in EMDR treatment and incorporate the narrative method as an adjunct to EMDR.
