“…This short communication describes the refinement of the Emotional Processing Scale from a 38-item, eight-factor structure to a 25-item, five-factor structure (see Baker et al [1] for a detailed description of the emotional processing model). Although new items were devised in an attempt to enhance the Externalized factor, the factor analysis did not support its retention.…”

“…In addition, during the psycho-diagnostic examination of the patient, the mental processing of emotions was evaluated by the Emotional Processing Scale (EPS) [32,33], which incorporates Rachman's conceptualization of emotional processing [34], and by Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) [35]. Emotional processing is defined as a process whereby emotional disturbances are absorbed and decline to the extent that other experiences and behavior can proceed without disruption [34].…”

“…He noted that on rare occasions people are not successful in emotionally processing the overwhelming majority of disturbing events that occur in their life. The schematic model of emotional processing was first depicted in the study by Baker [33] in which there was the development of the emotional processing scale. In this model, there three main phases (input, experience and expression of emotion) are described and in each phase there can be various types of disruption.…”

IntroductionAn overwhelming amount of evidence from prospective randomized controlled trials supports the clinical efficacy and safety of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Although ICD devices are an effective life-saving treatment, however, inappropriate shocks for atrial arrhythmias with rapid ventricular conduction [1,2] or for abnormal sensing [3][4][5] Presentation. In this study we present the case of a 59-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital for ICD implantation with a past medical history that was positive for non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure (NYHA class III), atrial fibrillation, essential hypertension and a recent episode of syncope. Since in the 18 months follow-up the patient suffered many inappropriate shocks, we investigated the association of the presence of a PTSD (PostTraumatic-Stress-Disorder) prior to implantation and a specific profile of cognitive processing emotions, with the effectiveness of the ICD. Emotional distress states and cognitive thoughts preceding ICD shock inappropriate episode were recorded by structured mobile diary (eMotional-ICDiary©). We outlined how the presence of a highly traumatic event which had occurred 6 years previously was related to a recurrence of a combination of moderate distress and cognitive thoughts, associated with episodes of Inappropriate Shock. A psycho-diagnostic examination and the administration of the Emotional Processing Scale (EPS-25) and Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) outlined that the patient presented a profile of cognitive processing of emotions characterized by elevated levels of unprocessed emotions, low appraisal and high suppression emotional regulation strategy.Conclusion. The observations gathered in this single case are a good starting point for further research in order to check if the post-traumatic stress disorder and a specific cognitive profile connected to the processing of emotions are associated with the presence of inappropriate ICD shocks. Further larger sample studies are required in this area.

“…Emotional Processing Therapy for PTSD The model of emotional processing Baker and colleagues have developed a model of emotional processing (Figure 1; Baker, 2001Baker, , 2007Baker, Holloway, Thomas, Thomas, & Owens, 2004) and associated Emotional Processing Scale (EPS; Baker et al, 2010;Baker, Thomas, Thomas, & Owens, 2007) that extends Rachman's model (1980) by specifying those psychological mechanisms that could lead to inadequate emotional processing. The model draws together key constructs from cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT; e.g.…”

While prolonged exposure is considered one of the "gold standard" and recommended treatments for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it has been poorly utilised in clinical practice. Individuals with PTSD often find it too distressing to confront memories, and therapists may be uncomfortable using the therapy. A new Emotional Processing Therapy is described in which an emotional approach to prolonged exposure provides individuals with a new insight into how trauma is processed. A conceptual analysis of exposure suggests that it is exposure to distressing emotional experiences which is a key element. Viewing it as an emotion-based therapy, allows the creative addition of new emotional elements. Through exploring the individual's emotional processing style, previously learned and unhelpful patterns can be addressed, and the addition of an "emotional preparation" phase helps them understand why it is important to face emotionally distressing memories before exposure sessions begin. Emotional Processing Therapy is intuitive and makes sense to those affected by PTSD. It is framed in an emotional context and is presented as part of a lifestyle change that may reduce the likelihood of psychological problems developing in the future.
