Om programmet
EMDR in the treatment of depression
Dr. Arne Hofmann, MD
Severe depression is one of the most common mental disorders and affects
between 5-15% of the general population in their lifetimes. Although many
psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic interventions exist that are considered
to be effective in depression, the treatment is less than satisfactory. High
relapse rates (ranging at 50% after two years), unsatisfactory remissions
and suicidal risks are among the major problems.
Scientific studies of EMDR have shown that it is one of the most effective
tools to treat posttraumatic stress disorder. One of the lesser known
properties of EMDR is that it also seems to be an effective intervention in
depression.
Our study group has done research on the subject since 2007 and finalized
two controlled pilot studies that show the potential of EMDR in depression. A
multicenter RCT study is underway. Even if the results of the study will not
be available yet, some useful clinical observations on the use of EMDR in
depressive patients will be shared.
Dr. Arne Hofmann is specialist for internal and psychosomatic medicine and
is head of the EMDR-Institute in Germany. He learned EMDR in 1991 during
a residency at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California and has
introduced it in the German- speaking countries. He founded one of the first
inpatient units for victims of trauma in Germany and has helped develop
aftercare programs after mass disasters like the train accident in Eschede
1998, the school shooting in Erfurt in 2002 and in the wake of the Tsunami
in 2004.
Dr. Hofmann is a founding board member of EMDR-Europe and a member of
a German national guideline commission on the treatment of PTSD. He is
teaching, researching and publishing internationally in the field of
psychological trauma and EMDR.
EMDR to treat substance abuse and addiction
Dr. Michael Hase, MD
Dr Michael Hase är chefsläkare vid enheten för psykosomatik vid Dianakliniken
i Bad Bevensen, Tyskland. Dr Hase är specialist i psykiatri och utbildad
psykoterapeut.
The comorbidity of PTSD and substance abuse gives sufficient reason to treat
patients who are addicted with EMDR targeting the traumatic memories, which
drive the comorbid PTSD. However, there are several pathways leading to
addiction and PTSD is only one of them. Thirty years of addiction research have
provided sufficient evidence for the crucial role of memory in drug
dependency. The Addiction memory (AM) serves as a useful concept for
“obsessive-compulsive craving” to be seen in drug addicted patients (Boening,
2001). The concept of an AM and its importance in relapse occurrence and
maintenance of learned addictive behaviour has gained growing acceptance in
the field of addiction research and treatment. The AM is interpreted as an
individual-acquired memory following drug consumption in some individuals.
The addiction memory is based on normal memory systems and systems of
neuronal information processing. This neurobiological-based, imprinted,
addictive behaviour seems to resist change under normal circumstances.
The implicit nature of the addiction memory seems to qualify it as a target
for EMDR treatment.
In a pilot-study group of 34 patients with chronic alcohol dependency in
in-patient treatment for detoxification were randomly assigned to one of two
treatment conditions: treatment as usual (TAU)) or TAU+EMDR. In the
TAU+EMDR group patients received two sessions of EMDR focussing on
memories of intense craving or relapse in order to activate and reprocess the
addiction memory. The craving for alcohol was measured by the ObsessiveCompulsive-Drinking-Scale (OCDS) pre, post, and 1 month after treatment.
The TAU+EMDR group showed a significant reduction in craving posttreatment and 1 month after treatment whereas TAU did not. The TAU+EMDR
group showed less relapse at the six-month follow-up. The results indicate
that EMDR might be a useful approach for the treatment of addiction memory
and associated symptoms of craving (Hase et al. 2008).
This Workshop will address the EMDR treatment of comorbid PTSD and
serves as an introduction into the application of EMDR as an adjunct in
addiction treatment. The current EMDR approaches like DETUR by Popky and
the Feeling State Addiction Protocoll by Miller will be briefly introduced.
