Spring is in bloom in Northern California

March is the month when the hills are green here in Sonoma County, the wild flowers bloom and everything seems possible! This weekend and next I am putting the final touches on presentations I will be giving in Milan and Istanbul in April and waking up early during the week to work on several writing projects.

EMDR Basic training update

The Spring 2013 SonomaPTI basic training in EMDR is underway with a record number of participants. I am especially pleased by the significant number of pre-licensed interns. It is deeply rewarding to help clinicians new to the field learn EMDR and integrate it into their orientation early in their professional development. In addition we have enrolled the clinical director of a large agency from a neighboring county.

In addition to the public training we hold near Oakland, I am also pleased to be at the mid-point of our first agency training for a behavioral health program in a neighboring county. Other counties and agencies are actively exploring in-house training for their staff with SonomaPTI.

This month's EMDR research reports

Below you will find a link to the March review of recently published, peer-reviewed journal articles related to EMDR. There are 15 new EMDR and related articles. Yes, some attentive and regular readers of the newsletter noticed there was no Newsletter or EMDR review for February 2013.

March EMDR video of the month

This month's video features a demonstration of EMDR with Francine Shapiro.

March EMDR Research News

EMDR Research News for March 2013

Find the EMDR Research News for March 2013 in this posting to the SonomaPTI blog with 17 new and exciting research articles on EMDR.

There you will find this month’s recently published, peer-reviewed journal articles related to EMDR. This month there are 7 new EMDR specific articles, 6 general review articles that touch on EMDR, and 2 general articles of possible interest to trained clinicians and researchers.

In the EMDR specific research, there is one new research study, “EMDR-based multicomponent trauma treatment with child victims of severe interpersonal trauma” (Jarero, Roque-Lopez & Gomez, 2013); one EMDR neuroimaging review “Correlates of EMDR therapy in functional and structural neuroimaging” (Pagani, Hogberg, Fernandez & Siracusano, 2013), one EMDR Training Survey “EMDR training experience in UK and Ireland” (Farrell & Keenan, 2013). There are two EMDR case reports: “Specific phobia: Flight” (Laker, M. (2013) and “Considerations in comorbid irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia” (Tynes & Spiegel, 2013). And from a new feature in the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research there are two new EMDR case consultations: “Traumatized pregnant woman” (Forgash, Leeds, Stramrood & Robbins, 2013) and “Unremitting depression” (Shapiro, Hofmann & Grey, 2013).

This month there are six treatment reviews mentioning EMDR: “Meta-Analysis of dropout in treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder” (Imel, Laska, Jakupcak & Simpson, 2013); “Effectiveness and implementation of evidence-based practices in residential care settings” (James, Alemi & Zepeda, 2013); “Effectiveness and implementation of evidence-based practices in residential care settings” (James, Alemi & Zepeda, 2013); “Treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in patients with severe mental illness” (Mabey, & van Servellen, 2013); “Interventions for children exposed to nonrelational traumatic events” (Forman-Hoffman, et al. 2013); “Interventions to reduce distress in adult victims of rape and sexual violence” (Regehr, Alaggia, Dennis, Pitts, & Saini, 2013); “

Finally there are two non-EMDR articles of potential interest to EMDR clinicians and researchers on general topics of trauma: “Trauma: A unifying concept for social work” (Joseph & Murphy, 2013) and “Transference-Focused psychotherapy with former child soldiers” (Draijer & Van Zon, 2013).

The video of the month features an EMDR demonstration with Francine Shapiro.
