EMDR and the lessons from neuroscience research Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry Boston University School of Medicine ""...learning from individuals who have been diagnosed with PTSD confronted us with the fact that, after having been traumatized, particular emotions, images, sensations, and muscular reactions related to the trauma may become deeply imprinted on people's minds and that these traumatic imprints seem to be re-experienced without appreciable transformation, months, years or even decades after the actual event occurred (Janet, 1889, 1894; van der Kolk & van der Hart, 1991; van der Kolk & Fisler, 1995; van der Kolk, Osterman, & Hopper, 2000). It is precisely this failure to transform and integrate the sensory imprints associated with the trauma that causes people with PTSD to behave as if they were living in the past, even though they may be quite aware that their reactions are out of proportion with the current stimulus." ""After we completed our first collaborative efforts to image people having traumatic memories (Rauch et al., 1996) we became very interested in pursuing the possibility of imaging how the brain of people with PTSD may change following effective treatment. When the clinicians at the Trauma Center began to show each other videotapes of patients with PTSD that seemed to demonstrate dramatic improvements after only a few sessions of EMDR, we decided to embark on a pilot study of treatment outcome using EMDR in which we would use changes in brain function as one of the outcome measures. We recently completed that study and will report the full data set elsewhere. However, in the study we found that 8 of the 12 enrolled subjects had more than 30 percent decrease in their caps scores after three sessions. Generally, these decreases in PTSD scores were accompanied by a concomitant decreased physiological reactivity to a personalized trauma script." http://www.emdr.org.il/dls/1.html
6 young men sue polygamous sect Joseph A. Reaves The Arizona Republic 8/28/04 "Six young men filed suit Friday claiming they were among several hundred forced from their homes and cut off from their families so leaders of the nation's largest polygamous community could have easier access to multiple wives. The suit, filed in Utah's 3rd District Court in Salt Lake City, accuses the two top leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of assault, extortion, making "terroristic threats" and encouraging or engaging in child kidnapping." http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0828polygamy28.html
