    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy Scripted Protocols and Summary Sheets:
    Treating Trauma in Somatic and Medical-Related Conditions
    Book

    This book focuses on applying eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) scripted protocols to medical related conditions. It delivers a wide range of step-by-step protocols that enable beginning clinicians as well as seasoned EMDR clinicians, trainers, and consultants alike to enhance their expertise more quickly when working with clients who present with medical-related issues. The scripts are conveniently outlined in an easy-to-use, manual style template, facilitating a reliable, consistent format for use with EMDR clients. The scripts distill the essence of the standard EMDR protocols. They reinforce the specific parts, sequence, and language used to create an effective outcome, and illustrate how clinicians are using this framework to work with a variety of medical related issues while maintaining the integrity of the Adaptive Information Processing model. Following a brief outline of the basic elements of EMDR procedures and protocols, the book focuses on applying EMDR scripted protocols to key medical issues. The book is organized into three parts comprising ten chapters. Chapter one presents illness and somatic disorders protocol. Chapter two describes EMDR therapy for somatic disorders and medical issues. Chapter three discusses EMDR therapy to treat the sequelae of somatic illness and medical treatment. Chapter four presents the reenactment protocol. Chapters five and six discuss EMDR therapy in psycho-oncology and head and neck cancer client group. Chapter seven presents EMDR protocol for PTSD in patients affected by multiple sclerosis. Chapter eight discusses EMDR therapy for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, and hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnant women. Chapter nine describes the EMDR recent birth trauma protocol.

    A Brief Narrative Summary of Randomized Controlled Trials Investigating EMDR Treatment of Patients With Depression
    Article

    Depression, one of the most common mental disorders, is characterized by enormous social costs and limited rates of treatment success, even though psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments currently contribute to an increase in the remission rate. In light of recent studies that have shown that traumas and adverse life experiences may represent risk factors for the onset of depression, the therapeutic approach of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been seen as potentially effective in the treatment of depression. The purpose of the present brief narrative review is to summarize the current literature on the efficacy of EMDR in patients with depression, in particular by referring to randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) that examined depression as a primary outcome. The data examined are updated to March 2019 and count seven RCT studies covering the years from 2001 to 2019. They are heterogeneous by type of intervention and demographic characteristics of the sample. Although the selected studies are few and with different methodological critical issues, the findings reported by the different authors suggest in a preliminary way that EMDR can be a useful treatment for depression.

    EMDR and CBT for Cancer Patients: Comparative Study of Effects on PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression
    Article

    This pilot study examined the efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment compared with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in oncology patients in the follow-up phase of the disease. The secondary aim of this study was to assess whether EMDR treatment has a different impact on PTSD in the active treatment or during the follow-up stages of disease. Twenty-one patients in follow-up care were randomly assigned to EMDR or CBT groups, and 10 patients in the active treatment phase were assigned to EMDR group. The Impact of Event Scale—Revised (IES-R) and Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) were used to assess PTSD at pretreatment and 1 month posttreatment. Anxiety, depression, and psychophysiological symptoms were also evaluated. For cancer patients in the follow-up stage, the absence of PTSD after the treatment was associated with a significantly higher likelihood of receiving EMDR rather than CBT. EMDR was significantly more effective than CBT in reducing scores on the IES-R and the CAPS intrusive symptom subscale, whereas anxiety and depression improved equally in both treatment groups. Furthermore, EMDR showed the same efficacy both in the active cancer treatment and during the follow-up of the disease.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as an Adjunctive Treatment of Unipolar Depression: A Controlled Study
    Article

    Depression is a severe mental disorder that challenges mental health systems worldwide. About 30% of treated patients do not experience a full remission after treatment, and more than 75% of patients suffer from recurrent depressive episodes. Although psychotherapy and medication can improve remission rates, the success rates of current treatments are limited. In this nonrandomized controlled exploratory study, 21 patients with unipolar primary depression were treated with a mean of 44.5 sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) including an average 6.9 adjunctive sessions of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). A control group (n = 21) was treated with an average of 47.1 sessions of CBT sessions alone. The main outcome measure was the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II). The treatment groups did not differ in their BDI-II scores before treatment, and both treatments resulted in significant improvement. There was an additional benefit for patients treated with adjunctive EMDR (p = .029). Also the number of remissions at posttreatment, as measured by a symptom level below a BDI-II score of 12, was significantly better in the adjunctive EMDR group, the group showing more remissions (n = 18) than the control group (n = 8; p < .001). This potential effect of EMDR in patients with primary depression should be examined further in larger randomized controlled studies.

    EMDR et TCC chez des patients atteints de cancer : étude comparative de leurs effets sur l'ESPT, l'anxiété et la dépression
    Article

    Cette étude-pilote teste l'efficacité comparée de la thérapie EMDR (désensibilisation et retraitement par les mouvements oculaires) et de la thérapie cognitive comportementale (TCC) dans le traitement de l'état de stress post-traumatique (ESPT) chez des patients atteints de cancer, dans la phase de suivi de la maladie. Le second objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer si l'EMDR avait un impact différent sur l'ESPT pendant la phase active du traitement ou au cours des étapes de suivi de la maladie. On a assigné aléatoirement vingt-et-un patients en soins de suivi à des groupes d'EMDR ou de TCC, et dix patients en phase active de traitement ont été assignés à un groupe EMDR. Pour évaluer l'ESPT en pré-traitement et à un mois après traitement, on a utilisé l'Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) et la Clinician- Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS). L'anxiété, la dépression et les symptômes psycho-physiologiques ont également été évalués. Pour les patients en phase de suivi, l'absence d'ESPT après traitement était associée à une probabilité significativement plus grande d'avoir reçu de l'EMDR que de la TCC. L'EMDR était significativement plus efficace que la TCC pour faire décroître les notes à la sous-échelle des symptômes intrusifs de l'IES-R et de la CAPS, mais l'anxiété et la dépression étaient améliorées de façon semblable dans les deux groupes de thérapie. En outre, l'EMDR se montrait aussi efficace dans le traitement actif du cancer que dans la phase de suivi de la maladie.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing EMDR Therapy Scripted Protocols and Summary Sheets:
    Treating Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive, and Mood-Related Conditions
    Book

    This book offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy practitioners and researchers a window into the treatment rooms of experts in the fields of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and spectrum disorders, and mood-related conditions. It is divided into three parts with 10 chapters that cover working with anxiety disorders, including specific phobia, panic disorder, and the use of a specific procedure in the treatment of anxiety disorder; obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, olfactory reference syndrome, and hoarding behaviors; and mood disorders, including bipolar disorder, major depression, and postpartum depression. To address the specific needs of their populations, authors were asked to include the types of questions relevant for history taking, helpful resources and explanations needed in the preparation phase, particular negative and positive cognitions that were frequent in the assessment phase and for cognitive interweaves, other concerns during phases 4 (desensitization) through 8 (reevaluation), a section on case conceptualization and treatment planning, and any pertinent research on their work. Consisting of past, present, and future templates, the scripts are conveniently presented in an easy-to-use, manual-style format that facilitates a reliable, consistent procedure. Summary sheets for each protocol support quick retrieval of essential issues and components for the clinician when putting together a treatment plan for the client. These scripted protocols and completed summary sheets can be inserted right into a client’s chart for easy documentation.

    EMDR Protocol for PTSD in Patients Affected by Multiple Sclerosis
    Chapter

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system that affects both the brain and the spinal cord by destroying the myelin sheath that protects the nerve fibers. This chapter describes the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy approach applied to the treatment of posttraumatic reactions related to MS. It briefs the emotional burden of MS and specific disease-related problems, followed by the main results of research in psychosocial treatments. The chapter explores the clinical features of traumatic reactions related to the disease. This protocol aims to support patients in their difficult tasks of coping with the following: the illness, fears connected to its future progression, and the difficult choices managing the stage of the disease characterized by the significant worsening of symptoms, often resulting in the total loss of autonomy and the ability to communicate normally with the external world.

    L'EMDR (désensibilisation et retraitement par les mouvements oculaires) comme traitement d'appoint de la dépression unipolaire : une étude contrôlée
    Article

    La dépression est un trouble mental grave qui constitue un défi pour les systèmes de santé mentale du monde entier. Environ 30 % des patients n'obtiennent pas de rémission complète après le traitement, et plus de 75 % des patients souffrent d'épisodes dépressifs récurrents. Si la psychothérapie et la médication améliorent les taux de rémission, les taux de réussite des traitements actuels sont limités. Dans cette étude exploratoire contrôlée non randomisée, 21 patients souffrant de dépression unipolaire primaire ont été traités avec une moyenne de 44,5 séances de thérapie cognitive comportementale (TCC), avec en moyenne 6,9 séances supplémentaires de désensibilisation et de retraitement par les mouvements oculaires (EMDR). Un groupe contrôle (n = 21) a été traité avec une moyenne de 47,1 séances de TCC sans séance EMDR supplémentaire. Le principal moyen de mesure des résultats a été le Questionnaire de Dépression de Beck (BDI-II). Les scores BDI-II des deux groupes étaient identiques avant traitement et les deux traitements ont produit une amélioration significative. Les patients traités avec les séances d'EMDR d'appoint (p = 0,029) ont cependant obtenu des améliorations plus importantes. Le nombre de rémissions post-traitement, indiqué par un niveau symptomatique inférieur à 12 sur l'échelle BDI-II, était aussi significativement plus élevé dans le groupe ayant bénéficié de séances d'EMDR d'appoint : ce groupe a présenté davantage de rémissions (n = 18) que le groupe de contrôle (n = 8 ; p < 0,001). Cet effet potentiel de l'EMDR chez les patients souffrant de dépression primaire doit faire l'objet d'études contrôlées randomisées plus larges.

    DeprEnd©—EMDR Therapy Protocol for the Treatment of Depressive Disorders
    Chapter

    Studies show that there is a high risk for relapse in major depression (MD). Each depressive episode increases the risk of relapse by 15” and the episodes get more severe with each relapse. It is the third most common cause for primary health consultation and the leading cause of disability from ages 15 to 44. Research shows that distinct psychosocial stressors precede most of the depressive episodes by 1 or 2 months (episode triggers). Following the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, DeprEnd© is an eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy protocol that addresses an important cause of depression that may also contribute to the maintenance of the symptoms of the disorder: pathogenic memory networks. In the DeprEnd© protocol, four main types of memories are addressed and worked with: classic traumatic memories (Criterion A), often non-Criterion A-based episode triggers, belief systems, and depressive and suicidal states.
