[Audio] BT14 Workshop 07 – EMDR Therapy: An Integrative Approach to Identifying and Treating the Underlying Basis of Dysfunction – Francine Shapiro, PhD

Description:

This presentation will provide therapeutic guidelines to help identify the source of a wide range of clinical problems, and demonstrate how they can be addressed. EMDR therapy is widely recognized as an effective trauma treatment by organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization. In addition, 20 randomized studies demonstrate positive effects of the eye movement component. Research has also clearly demonstrated that certain kinds of life experiences lay the foundation for both mental and physical problems. Clinical and neurobiological research demonstrates that EMDR therapy directly addresses the physiological basis of clinical symptoms and dysfunction. This includes not only the overt symptoms, but also potential problems in relationships and deficits in sense of self. Group exercises, case examples, research, and client videos will be used to illustrate the procedures and comprehensive treatment effects that foster personal and relational development.

Educational Objectives:

1. Explain the basis of a wide range of clinical problems.
2. Demonstrate how positive treatment effects can be efficiently achieved through integrative treatment.
3. Explain the emotional, cognitive, somatic and neurobiological changes that can occur with effective treatment
