A Review of Alternative Approaches to the Treatment of Post Traumatic Sequelae
Anne M. Dietrich, Ph.D.
Introduction -
Approaches to the treatment of posttraumatic sequelae are reviewed in terms of criteria
for evaluating inferential validity with case studies, and where applicable, effect sizes
are provided where there are data from group comparisons. The approaches covered in this
paper include the Trauma Recovery Institute (TRI) Method, Traumatic Incident Reduction
(TIR), Visual/Kinesthetic Disassociation (V/KD), and Thought Field Therapy (TFT).
Internal validity of case studies on the TRI Method and V/KD appear controlled for,
whereas reports on TFT do not meet internal validity criteria. Effect sizes are reported
on one study that compared TIR to waitlist control and Direct Therapeutic Exposure (DTE),
suggesting that TIR is superior to waitlist control, and shows more modest gains over DTE.
The available evidence suggests TIR, the TRI Method, and V/KD are effective treatments for
posttraumatic sequelae.

TFT: A Brief Review and Critique
Mona Devich Navarro
Abstract
This review examines TFT as a desensitization treatment which attempts to integrates
the eastern philosophy of acupuncture with more contemporary theories of cognitive processing.
However, inconsistencies and methodological problems of the theory greatly limit the
interpretablity and utilization of the treatment. This paper will highlight some of these
weaknesses and emphasize the need for further research

Touch and Breathe: An Alternative Treatment Approach With Meridian
Based Psychotherapies
John H. Diepold, Jr., Ph.D.
Abstract
This paper reviews the origin of the use of tapping on acupoints in the treatment of
psychological problems and introduces an alternative treatment approach. The theoretical
and scientific aspects of this alternative treatment approach are discussed as well as the
practical/clinical issues. Procedures for incorporating the Touch And Breathe approach into
the Thought Field Therapy treatment paradigm are provided and are easily adapted to all
other forms of meridian-based psychotherapies. Some research suggestions are offered.

The Power Therapies: A proposed mechanism for their action
and suggestions for future empirical validation
Michael Lamport Commons
Abstract
Power Therapies claim to achieve rapid results in reducing fear elicited by a large
number of situations.is paper presents a theory of how competition among stimuli may be
the basis for how the Power Therapies work. The compelling features of these therapies are
that they all interrupt old habits and conditioned reflexes and provide new habits and
conditioning. Therefore, many of the protocols involve overcoming prior-stimulus dominance.
In addition to proposing a mechanism for these therapies, this article also reveals that,
despite superficial differences, power therapies fundamentally accomplish the same thing.
T hese therapies reduce the intensify of emotional responses elicited by stimuli associated
with trauma. It is proposed that they accomplish this end through working at the subcortical
level of brain activity to interrupt the negative emotional responses elicited by the
trauma stimuli.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: One Method for Processing Traumatic Memory
Pat Ogden, M.A. and Kekuni Minton, PhD.
Abstract
Traditional psychotherapy addresses the cognitive and emotional elements of trauma,
but lacks techniques that work directly with the physiological elements, despite the fact
that trauma profoundly affects the body and many symptoms of traumatized individuals are
somatically based. Altered relationships among cognitive, emotional, and sensorimotor (body)
levels of information processing are also found to be implicated in trauma symptoms.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a method that integrates sensorimotor processing with cognitive
and emotional processing in the treatment of trauma. Unassimilated somatic responses evoked
in trauma involving both arousal and defensive responses are shown to contribute to many PTSD
symptoms and to be critical elements in the use of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. By using the
body (rather than cognition or emotion) as a primary entry point in processing trauma,
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy directly treats the effects of trauma on the body, which in turn
facilitates emotional and cognitive processing. This method is especially beneficial for
clinicians working with dissociation, emotional reactivity or flat affect, frozen states or
hyperarousal and other PTSD symptoms. In this article, we discuss Sensorimotor Psychotherapy,
emphasizing sensorimotor processing techniques which can be integrated with traditional
approaches that treat these symptoms. Because the therapist's ability to interactively regulate
clients' dysregulated states and also to cultivate clients' self-awareness of inner body
sensations is crucial to this approach, three sessions are described illustrating the clinical
application of this method.
