“…These findings are consistent with findings by Renfrey and Spates (1994) ;Vaughn, et al (1994); and Wilson, Silver, Covi, and Foster (1996). Additional investigation via case reports (Lipke & Botkin, 1992;Pellicer, 1993;Puk, 1991;Spector & Huthwaite, 1993;Wernick, 1993;Wolpe & Abrams, 1991) has also yielded promising results. Although many of these case studies lack objective or standardized measures, in general these reports revealed positive outcomes in the form of decreases in subjective units of distress as well as decreases in global, physiological, and behavioral expressions of distress.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the differential effects of treatment on a complex of symptomatology that includes grief, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and self-esteem by comparing eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and guided mourning (GM) treatments. Method: Twenty-three EMDR clients and 27 GM clients completed measures designed to assess psychosocial and behavioral symptoms of loss before and after treatment and at a 9-month follow-up period. Results: Out of the five psychosocial measures of distress, four (State Anxiety, Impact of Event Scale, Index of Self-Esteem, and PTSD) were found to be significantly altered by type of treatment provided, with EMDR clients reporting the greatest reduction of PTSD symptoms. Data from the behavioral measures revealed similar findings.

“…Virtually all traumatized patients have some degree of internalized shame (Courtois, 1992). In addition, shame is often a key component of addictions, anxiety disorders, depression, major mental illness, sexual identity or dysfunction, and personality disorders (Brown, 1988;Kaufman, 1985;Krugman, 1995;Leeds, 1997;Manfield, 1998;Nathanson, 1992;Rothbaum, 1997;Schenk & Everingham, 1995;Wernick, 1993;Wong & Cook, 1992;Zangwill, 1994). For gay men in general, shame may become over time a component of self-identity and may further be included in self-loathing, internalized homophobia, and account for a closed self-referential loop which perpetuates a hostile self-identity (e.g., ''I'm ashamed of what happened to me.…”

Gay men suffering from traumatic experiences can benefit from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing treatment (EMDR). In the past decade the theory and practice of EMDR has expanded to address acute and chronic childhood and adult traumas, substance misuse or abuse, identity issues including shame and selfesteem, and health issues. Through a process of accelerated information processing, traumatic memories are desensitized and reprocessed, resulting in less distress for the client in the present and future. EMDR can also be useful for developing internal resources and for exploration of relevant themes for the client. Further attention is needed in exploring the use of EMDR for gay men traumatized by hate crimes, sexual issues resulting from traumatic experiences, and internalized homophobia.

“…Ook anderen melden een grote verscheidenheid aan EMDR-casuı¨stiek, onder andere op het gebied van specifieke fobiee¨n (De Jongh & Ten Broeke, 1994;, paniekstoornis (Goldstein & Feske, 1994), seksuele disfuncties (Wernik, 1993), dissociatieve stoornissen (Paulsen, 1995) en trauma's en nachtmerries bij kinderen (Greenwald, 1994b;Pellicer, 1993). Het weinige gecontroleerde onderzoek naar de effectiviteit van EMDR bij andere problematiek dan psychotrauma laat zowel positieve resultaten zien (experimentele pijn; Hekmat, Groth & Rogers, 1994) als negatieve (testangst; Bauman & Melnyk, 1994).…”

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR ) is een relatief nieuwe procedure op het terrein van de psychotherapie. Ervaringen met EMDR geven aanleiding tot hoopvolle verwachtingen van de behandeling van diverse aan trauma gerelateerde angststoornissen, met name post-traumatische stress-stoornis (PTSS). Onderdeel van deze procedure is dat de therapeut bij de clie¨nt een aantal snelle en ritmische oogbewegingen uitlokt door te vragen zijn of haar vinger te volgen, terwijl de clie¨nt een beeld van de traumatische herinnering in gedachten houdt. In dit artikel worden de achtergronden en de principes van EMDR belicht en wordt de stapsgewijze procedure uitvoerig beschreven. Een gevalsbeschrijving van een clie¨nt met een paniekstoornis en een tandartsfobie laat zien dat EMDR kan leiden tot een langdurige vermindering van angstklachten. Tevens wordt ingegaan op de huidige stand van zaken van de wetenschappelijke ondersteuning van EMDR . Het toepassen van EMDR bij PTSSwordt door wetenschappelijk onderzoek gesteund, maar empirische ondersteuning voor de therapeutische effectiviteit van EMDR bij andere angststoornissen ontbreekt.
