The Phoenix Club: A Programme for Adults Who Were Traumatized in Childhood
David Straton, MB,ChB; DPM; FRANZCP
Abstract
The name of the Phoenix Club thus resonates with the myth; the idea of personal rebirth
from the ashes of a tragedy, images of a fiery ordeal on a hot-seat, and support from a
flock of other birds. The club operates on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia,
a modern Heliopolis or City of the Sun. The word 'club' conveys equal membership,
empowerment, and belonging. It connotes the possibility of political as well as
therapeutic activities

A Review of Visual/Kinesthetic Disassociation in the Treatment
of Posttraumatic Disorders: Theory, Efficacy and Practice Recommendations

Anne M. Dietrich, M.A.
Abstract
In this article, the literature on the Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) technique of
Visual/Kinesthetic Disassociation (V/KD) is reviewed in relation to the treatment of
Posttraumatic sequelae. An overview of the V/KD technique is provided, along with postulated
mechanisms of change, based on current theory and research in the field of PTSD.
Three published reports -- two case studies and one, uncontrolled, small-n study
- are reviewed in terms of treatment effectiveness for Posttraumatic sequelae.
Currently, the V/KD technique is rated as an experimental approach, according to
the American Psychological Association's Division 12 Task Force (1995) report and
recommendations on empirically validated psychological treatments. Recommendations
for use of exposure-based treatments with traumatized populations are provided

PROMISING PTSD TREATMENT APPROACHES - A Systematic Clinical
Demonstration of Promising PTSD Treatment Approaches

Joyce L. Carbonell & Charles Figley
Abstract
Traumatic Incident Reduction, Visual-Kinesthetic Disassociation, Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Thought Field Therapy were investigated through
a systematic clinical demonstration (SCD) methodology. This methodology guides the
examination, but does not test the effectiveness of clinical approaches. Each approach
was demonstrated by nationally recognized practitioners following a similar protocol,
though their methods of treatment varied. A total of 39 research participants were
treated and results showed that all four approaches had some immediate impact on clients
and appear to also have some lasting impact. The paper also discusses the theoretical,
clinical, and methodological implications of the study.

Time-Limited Trauma Therapy In A Tri-Phasic Model For The Resolution
Of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Case Study Of Eight Sessions

J. Eric Gentry, MA, CAC, CTS
Abstract
A case study of a victim of a violent assault in her home from which she developed florid
posttraumatic stress symptoms. She was successfully treated in eight (8) sessions using
a tri-phasic model of stabilization, resolution and reconnection. Time-Limited Trauma
Therapy, a powerful and innovative protocol for the treatment of posttraumatic sequelae,
was utilized as the centerpiece for the resolution phase of treatment with this client.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Thought Field Therapy and Family Empowerment Therapy were
also utilized successfully in the stabilization and reconnection phases of treatment.
Self-report, post-treatment assessment and collateral interviews all support final and
lasting (one year) resolution of her posttraumatic symptoms.

PTSD And Chronic Suicidal Ideation: The Role Of Counter Suicidal Cognition
Joseph Sivak, Jody L. Swartz & David X. Swenson
Introduction -
Post traumatic stress disorder is often associated with an increase in suicidal thoughts
and behaviors. However, this link remains poorly understood; particularly unclear are
the mechanisms victims use to help them persevere through periods of increased suicidal
ideation. This pilot study of veterans examines the frequency and quantity of suicidal
ideation as well as preventative cognitions the victim utilizes to prevent suicide.
These cognitions are known as counter-suicidal cognitions.

Debriefing

Debriefing Handout: Critical Incident Stress Information Sheet

Defusing & Debriefing
JOHN D. WEAVER, LCSW, BCD, ACSW, CBHE
introduction
Defusing is the term given to the process of talking it out - taking the fuse out of
an emotional bomb (explosive situation). It involves allowing victims and workers the
opportunity to ventilate about their disaster related memories, stresses, losses,
and methods of coping, and be able to do so in a safe and supportive atmosphere.
The defusing process usually involves informal and impromptu sessions. A DMH worker
might witness an emotional interchange between a victim and another staff member and,
soon afterward, approach one or both of them and open a dialogue. This will, in turn,
help folks release thoughts and feelings that might not otherwise be expressed.
Suppression or repression of this kind of highly charged material might lead to the
development of any number of stress-related physical and/or mental illnesses.

Psychological Debriefing - An Effective Method?
Atle Dyregrov PhD
Abstract
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) has come under considerable debate over the last
few years. Several studies have failed to document any effect of the intervention, while
other studies document a clear effect. Most studies, be that in favor of debriefing or not,
have serious methodological flaws. These concern aspects such as researching interventions
not qualifying as a PD; using self-selection to the groups; inadequate timing of the
intervention; and interventions of dubious clinical value. It is concluded that the
quality of the studies to date does not justify a discontinuation of its use.

Thought Field Therapy

A Review of Thought Field Therapy
Wayne Hooke, M.A.
introduction
Methodological weaknesses, a lack of controls, or the failure to fully report data
and methods in the few TFT studies that have been conducted limit their interpretability.
Clinical reports are suggestive, but careful research has yet to confirm whether or not
TFT interventions cause a rapid decrease in subjective distress. Research published to
date provides neither sure conclusions nor insight into any of the many other questions
surrounding TFT. Current TFT theory is highly elaborated, but too speculative to be helpful
in understanding the potential therapeutic mechanisms of TFT.

A Thought Field Therapy (TFT) Algorithm for Trauma
Roger J. Callahan, PhD, TFT Training Center, Indian Wells, CA (1995)
Abstract
A generally successful -1- algorithm for traumas is presented in order to give the reader
a brief introduction to the TFT treatment and an opportunity to test its efficacy.
The algorithm has been used for fifteen years and the only harm known to come from
it is that a very small number of individuals with apparent self-directed hostility
may take the opportunity, when tapping on their body, to use too much pressure.

Special Edition: Health benefits of the disclosure of emotions
about traumatic experiences: What is the evidence and potential for therapeutic benefits?

Christine Stephens
introduction
There is a body of work that provides empirical support for a relationship between talking
or writing about traumatic events and health outcomes. Several studies, both correlational
and experimental, have shown that the inhibition of traumatic experiences is detrimental
to health and that talking or writing about a trauma has positive effects on psychological
and physical health.

Written Emotional Expression and Well-Being: Result From a Home-Based Study
David Sheffield, Elaine Duncan, Karen Thomson & Sarbjit S. Johal
Abstract
This study examined whether written emotional expression of personal and emotional events
in a home-based setting might result in improved psychological and physical well-being.
Following completion of a number of health and psychological well-being questionnaires,
forty-seven men and ninety-nine women were assigned to one of three conditions.
Participants in the emotional expression writing group were asked to write about
previously undisclosed personal and emotional events for 3 days; participants in the
unemotive writing group were asked to write about pre-assigned superficial topics for 3
days; and participants in the control group did not write. Participants were asked to
complete the initial questionnaires three, seven and thirty weeks later. The emotional
expression group experienced an increase in physical symptoms (p =.04) and self-reported
number of days taken off college due to illness (p =.03) at three weeks, and less anxiety
and insomnia (p =.04) at 30 weeks. Written emotional expression was associated with
short-term detrimental physical health effects and less substantial long-term
psychological health benefits, cautioning against the adoption of written emotional
expression alone in the home environment.

Structured writing about a natural disaster buffers the effect
of intrusive thoughts on negative affect and physical symptoms

Joshua M. Smyth, Jill Hockemeyer, Chris Anderson, Kim Strandberg, Michelle Koch,
H. Katherine O'Neill & Susan McCammon
introduction
There is evidence that individuals experiencing natural disasters are at risk for long
term physical and mental health problems, particularly if experiencing unbidden thoughts
(intrusions) about the disaster. Interventions provided post-disaster, especially those
that involve emotional expression, may help protect individuals from these negative effects.
This study examined if a brief, easily administered, structured writing task (expressing
thoughts and emotions about the natural disaster) would attenuate the relationship between
intrusions about the disaster and both negative affect and physical symptoms. Individuals
recently displaced by a hurricane and subsequent flooding were randomly assigned to the
experimental (emotional writing) group (n=27) or to the control (neutral writing) group.
A community reference group (n=56) was also obtained. In the control group,
disaster-related intrusions more than three months post-disaster were associated with
higher levels of negative affect and more physical symptoms (p's .01). In the experimental
group, disaster-related intrusions were unrelated to both negative affect and physical
symptoms (p's>.15). These data suggest that future research examine the clinical utility
of structured writing interventions for individuals who have experienced natural
disasters or other trauma.

Eye Movement Desensitiztion and Reprocessing Treatment of Internalized Shame
Dennis Balcom, MSW.
introduction
Thirteen subjects were administered the Internalized Shame Scale (ISS) before and after
EMDR therapy to determine whether Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
significantly reduced internalized shame and increased self-esteem as measured by the ISS.
While the study did not control for alternative treatment effects, age, diagnosis, SES,
or ethnicity of subjects; statistical analysis indicated a significant decrease in
internalized shame subscale scores and a significant increase in self-esteem subtest
scores following treatment with EMDR. These results support the hypothesis that EMDR
is an effective treatment for internalized shame, even when shame is not the identified
target of treatment. These preliminary findings suggest that future research is warranted
to explore the efficacy of EMDR in the treatment of internalized shame.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: A Review of the
Efficacy of EMDR in the Treatment of PTSD

Louise Maxfield, MA, RCC, CTS
Abstract
The level of evidence for EMDR is based upon twelve controlled studies that investigated
the efficacy of EMDR treatment of participants with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The seven civilian studies, with one exception, all found EMDR to be efficacious in the
treatment of PTSD: EMDR was equivalent to cognitive behavioral therapy, and superior
to other control conditions. Four of the five studies with combat veterans addressed
only one or two memories in this multiply traumatized population, and their findings
were equivocal. The one combat veteran study which administered a longer course of
treatment provides preliminary evidence that EMDR may be efficacious with that population.
EMDR is a rapid treatment and appears to be well tolerated by clients, with effects being
maintained at follow-up.

SPECULATIONS ON THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF EMDR
Uri Bergmann, L.C.S.W., B.C.D.
introduction
This discussion explores current neurobiological findings in the areas of the limbic
system, REM-sleep and psychological trauma. The formation and consolidation of memory
and emotion are discussed. Research regarding the mediating anatomy and physiology of
REM-sleep is explicated, particularly the function of REM-sleep in memory processing.
The pathways of trauma are outlined. Speculations are then offered, based on these
findings, as to the underlying mechanisms of Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR).

Presented at Harvard University-Cambridge Hospital, at an all-day Symposium on EMDR.

A Single Session EMDR Study With Twenty Traumatized Children And Adolescents
Marian K. Puffer, Ph.D. et al.
introduction
Twenty children and adolescents were treated for a single traumatic memory with a
single session of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Treatment was
delayed 1 m for half the group. Over half of the 20 participants moved from Clinical
to Normal levels on the Impact of Events Scale, and all but 3 showed at least partial
symptom relief on several measures at 1-3 m following a single EMDR session.
Results should be interpreted with caution, but were positive, and essentially consistent
with analogous findings of EMDR with adults.

A Four Activity Model of Psychotherapy and Its Relationship
to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Other Methods of Psychotherapy

Howard Lipke, PhD
Abstract
This paper presents a general, information processing, model of psychotherapy based on
Shapiro's EMDR, that includes both recently developed and traditional psychotherapy
methods. It is posited that methods of psychotherapy can be conceptualized as employing
up to four categories of activity to promote adaptive functioning. These activities include:
1. accessing of information already acquired 2. introduction of new information
3. facilitation of the processing of information 4. inhibition of accessing.
The third category, facilitation of processing, includes abstract activity, and
represents a relatively new development in psychotherapy.

An Orienting Reflex/External Inhibition Model of EMDR and Thought Field Therapy
Nathan R. Denny, Ph.D. (1995)
Abstract
The clinical phenomena of the conduct of EMDR and Thought Field Therapy were interpreted
in light of concepts in the field of classical conditioning with emphasis on the orienting
reflex and its external inhibiting effects on conditioned responses. A model was
proposed using the temporary suppression through external inhibition of the fear
and avoidance conditioned responses to disturbing memories. The clinically helpful
effect proposed is the emergence of previously suppressed competing responses to the
troublesome memories. Those newly emerged responses are responsible for spontaneous
cognitive restructuring of the meaning attribution of the memories, thus lowering SUDS ratings.

Counting Method

Promising Practice for Traumatic Memories: An Update on the Counting Method
David Read Johnson, Ph.D., and Hadar Lubin, M.D.
introduction
The Counting Method is a new clinical technique for the treatment of the symptoms of PTSD,
originated by Frank Ochberg (Ochberg, 1993; 1996). Specifically, the procedure aims to
desensitize clients to their traumatic memories. Because traumatic memories are vivid and
frightening, and they arise unexpectedly, they can cause significant secondary effects on
the sufferer, including diminished self-confidence, decreased sense of security, and
compromised beliefs about one's own sanity. With the goals of ameliorating the anxiety
accompanying traumatic memories and enhancing the sense of mastery over intrusive
recollections, the Counting Method can contribute to the overall therapeutic endeavor
with PTSD clients (Ochberg, 1988).

The Counting Method for Ameliorating Traumatic Memories
Frank M. Ochberg, M . D.
Abstract
The Counting Method is a technique for modulating and mastering traumatic memories
in which the therapist counts out loud to 100 while the client silently remembers
a traumatic event. Immediately afterward, the recollection is reported, discussed
and reframed. This method is briefly described and its use within the context of
ongoing therapy is explained.
