“…However, EMDR is complex and difficult to learn (Greenwald, 2006), so PC was taught initially. PC is a variant of the counting method (Johnson & Lubin, 2005;Ochberg, 1996) that appears to be about as efficient, effective, and well-tolerated by clients as EMDR (Greenwald & Schmidt, 2010;Greenwald, McClintock, & Bailey, 2012), can be used with children (Greenwald, 2008), and is much simpler to learn. A survey completed by many of the social workers, a year after the training was done, indicated that about half tended to primarily use EMDR and half PC.…”

“…If future research continues to confirm PC as being roughly equivalent to EMDR in efficiency, effectiveness, and acceptability to clients (e.g., Greenwald, McClintock, et al, 2012), it will be easier to justify relying on PC, which is much quicker for therapists to master, and anecdotally has been well tolerated by children and teens. Even so, this comprehensive treatment approach does require substantial training and follow-up supervision.…”

Training in the Fairy Tale model of trauma-informed treatment was provided to clinical and direct care staff working with 53 youth in a residential treatment facility. Compared to the year prior to training, in the year of the training the average improvement in presenting problems was increased by 34%, time to discharge was reduced by 39%, and rate of discharge to lower level of care was doubled. The inclusion of numerous interventions, along with limitations in implementation and evaluation, make it difficult to precisely identify the cause(s) of the improvement.Numerous treatment approaches have been tried with youth so severely troubled that they have been placed in residential treatment. These approaches generally involve at least several of the following: providing a safe, stable environment; mobilizing peer influence; arranging reinforcers This project was supported by grants from the OSHEI Foundation and the Fierle Family Foundation.

“…However, progressive counting (PC) was used in this case. PC is a recently developed trauma treatment which has been found to be about as effective as EMDR (Greenwald, McClintock, & Bailey, 2013;Greenwald, McClintock, Jarecki, & Monaco, in press) while being less difficult for clients, and substantially more efficient (Greenwald et al, in press). PC has been used successfully with children much younger than Demi (Greenwald, 2008(Greenwald, , 2013.…”

“…Ten experienced EMDR‐trained therapists were briefly trained in PC, and participants were randomised to the treatment conditions. No significant differences between EMDR and PC were found, perhaps due to low statistical power associated with the small number of participants (Greenwald, McClintock & Bailey, ). A larger study ( n = 109) compared EMDR and PC among therapists practising on one another while in training programmes to learn EMDR or PC, respectively (Greenwald, McClintock, Jarecki, & Monaco, ).…”

Background Progressive counting (PC) is a recently developed trauma treatment that has shown promise in several studies with non‐therapy‐client samples. Aim The aim of this archival study was to determine whether PC's effectiveness found in other research might carry over to post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) cases in clinical practice. Method The present case series included three consecutive cases in the first author's clinical practice, in which the client was diagnosed with PTSD, and in which PC was used. Findings Each participant showed remission of PTSD and substantial reduction or elimination of presenting problems, with results persisting at one‐year follow‐up. Three other cases, which were excluded because post‐treatment or follow‐up data were not available, showed a similar pattern of symptom reduction. Implications These findings suggest that PC can be beneficial with therapy clients with PTSD.
