“…The substitution technique is one of Janet's most original contributions to psychotherapy. The same technique later shows up in the work of Breukink (1923), Erickson (Erickson and Rossi, 1979) and during the 1980s (Eichelman, 1985; Lamb, 1982Lamb, , 1985Miller, 1986;Waxman, 1982). In Janet's and Erickson's approaches the therapist was the operator, but some modern clinicians encourage their patients to be self-directive and to construct and enact their own revisions of the original traumatic event.…”

“…), have common essential elements of telling and retelling the story of trauma (Spigel, 2001). Milton Erickson (Erickson & Rossi, 1989) and after him contemporary hypnotherapists (Baker & Boaz, 1983;Chen, Zeltzer, Craske, & Katz, 1999;Gravitz, 1994Gravitz, , 2001Lamb, 1985;Miller, 1986) took this orientation a step further. They not only accessed traumatic memories by helping their patients relive the traumatic events but also inserted some changes (sometimes dramatic ones) in their remembered past during the therapeutic processing of traumas.…”

“…Over the last two decades some hypnotherapists described hypnotically induced paramnesias as an efficient technique for the treatment of various psychological and medical problems. Baker and Boaz (1983) treated dental phobia by "reformulation of traumatic memory", and Lamb (1985) and Miller (1986) utilized hypnotic regression, reconstruction and reframing in cases of simple phobias and anxiety reactions. In addition, Chen and colleagues (1999) used "alteration of memory" for reduction of children's distress during repeated aversive medical procedures and lately Gravitz (1994Gravitz ( , 2001 has shown how to use paramnesias in treating phobias, social inhibition, depressive reactions, traumatic grief and post-traumatic reactions.…”

The prospect of utilizing memory plasticity (the constructive and transitory nature of memory) for therapeutic purposes has not been widely recognized. However, a number of theoretical and clinical venues throughout the last century have shown its potential application. Intensive research conducted during these last decades, pointed out the possibility of influencing human memory in relation to new memories and their specific components. Moreover, the research showed the feasibility of planting alternative early childhood memories and thus altering memories of personal history. Additionally, researchers found that memory is naturally very fallible due to everyday phenomena of forgetfulness, distortion and intrusion of past and present information. Throughout the course of this paper, the integrative overview of these empirical findings with the aforementioned clinical and theoretical foundations serves as a substratum in an attempt to present an integrative therapeutic approach, named Memory Focused Interventions (MFI).

“…Tegenwoordig worden imaginatietechnieken gebruikt om de traumatische herinnering een andere inhoud of een betere afloop te geven. Dit is ook zonder hypnose mogelijk (Baker & Boaz, 1983;Eichelman, 1985;Kingsbury, 1988;Lamb, 1982Lamb, , 1985Miller, 1986;Taboda, 1975). Vaak worden de nachtmerries hierbij als uitgangspunt genomen (Eichelman, 1985;Taboda, 1975).…”

Binnen de huidige literatuur over posttraumatische stress-stoornissen worden deelaspecten van de verschijningsvorm, ontstaanswijze en behandeltechnieken van (chronische) posttraumatische stress beschreven. In dit artikel wordt gestreefd naar integratie van de aanwezige kennis door middel van een overzicht van de huidige inzichten en hun uitwerking in de dagelijkse praktijk. Allereerst worden symptomatologie en neurofysiologische achtergronden van posttraumatische stress besproken. Vervolgens komt de behandeling van posttraumatische stress aan de orde. Deze wordt in de literatuur in drie fasen ingedeeld: stabilisatie en symptoomreductie; identificatie, exploratie en modificatie van traumatische herinneringen; en herintegratie van de persoonlijkheid en rehabilitatie. Deze indeling wordt in dit overzicht aangehouden. Aandacht wordt besteed aan traumatische (tegen)overdracht en de invloed van ballingschap. De diagnostische facetten en therapeutische technieken worden geı¨llustreerd met een casus. Dit slaat een brug tussen theorie en praktijk.
