“…All employed the use of the Dutch translation of the standard eight phase EMDR protocol (Shapiro, 2001 ). Broadly this protocol involves the following: history and treatment planning; preparation of self-control techniques and engagement; assessment and identification of trauma memories; desensitisation including bilateral stimulation typically via visual tracking of the therapist moving their fingers back and forth; installation of positive cognition; body scan; closure involving the implementation of self-control techniques; re-evaluation and review (Menon and Jayan, 2010 ).…”

Psychological Interventions for Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms in Psychosis: A Systematic Review of Outcomes

Individuals with severe mental health problems, such as psychosis, are consistently shown to have experienced high levels of past traumatic events. They are also at an increased risk of further traumatisation through victimization events such as crime and assault. The experience of psychosis itself and psychiatric hospitalization have also been recognized to be sufficiently traumatic to lead to the development of post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms. Rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are elevated in people with psychosis compared to the general population. The current guidance for the treatment of PTSD is informed by an evidence base predominately limited to populations without co-morbid psychiatric disorders. The systematic review therefore sought to present the current available literature on the use of psychological treatments targeting PTS symptoms in a population with a primary diagnosis of a psychotic disorder. The review aimed to investigate the effect of these interventions on PTS symptoms and also the effect on secondary domains such as psychotic symptoms, affect and functioning. Fifteen studies were identified reporting on cognitive behavior therapy, prolonged exposure, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing and written emotional disclosure. The review provides preliminary support for the safe use of trauma-focused psychological interventions in groups of people with severe mental health problems. Overall, the interventions were found to be effective in reducing PTS symptoms. Results were mixed with regard to secondary effects on additional domains. Further research including studies employing sufficiently powered methodologically rigorous designs is indicated.

“…Previous annoying experiences are kept in a special state in the nervous system; thus, traumas are stuck or blocked in the physiology of nerves. In fact, psychological traumas persist after a disconcerting event because daily stimuli, negative feelings, and negative thoughts recall traumatic memories and make patients act in accordance with traumatic patterns (18). In other words, failure to properly process or solve problems would cause patients to react emotionally and behave in line with traumas.…”

“…Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a very effective method for treating people with PTSD. The EMDR method is a complicated and specialized therapeutic approach implemented to overcome the effects of emotional traumas and discomforting experiences (18). This approach necessitates recalling a stressful event from the past, reprogramming the mind, and replacing negative beliefs with positive, conscious beliefs that a person selects (19).…”

Background: People traumatized by wars develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and have low distress tolerance or emotional perception. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in response inhibition and cognitive flexibility of veterans with PTSD Methods: This quasi-experimental research adopted a pretest-posttest follow-up control group design. The statistical population included all the veterans supported by the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs (FMVA) in Ahvaz, Khuzestan Province (Iran) in 2021. The purposive sampling method was employed to select 30 veterans who visited the psychological service centers affiliated with the FMVA of Ahvaz. They were then randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The participants in the experimental group received ten 60-minute EMDR therapy sessions held by the researcher, who underwent specialized training at the FMVA Counseling Center in Boustan Hospital. The participants in the control group received no intervention. The cognitive flexibility questionnaire and response inhibition scale were used to collect data. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for data analysis in SPSS 24. Results: In the experimental group, the posttest and follow-up scores of response inhibition (response time) and cognitive flexibility showed significant improvements compared to pretest scores (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Hence, EMDR therapy improved cognitive flexibility and response inhibition in veterans with PTSD. As a result, EMDR therapy can be employed to enhance the psychological characteristics of veterans with stress.

“…El individuo tiene que estar consciente de su tratamiento y es responsable de su propio cuidado. Durante la estimulación de los movimientos oculares, se busca reactivar la memoria de miedo y agregar nueva información (Menon & Jayan, 2010;Nijdam, Gersons, Reitsma de & Olff, 2012;Stergiopoulos, Cimo, Cheng, Bonato & Dewa, 2011). Existen pocas investigaciones que expliquen el mecanismo mediante el cual podría estar operando esta técnica (Lamprecht et al, 2004;Nardo et al, 2010;Pagani et al, 2012;Samara, Elzinga, Slagter & Nieuwenhuis, 2011;Stickgold, 2002).…”

r e S u M e n Grandes esfuerzos han sido llevados a cabo para entender los componentes psicobiológicos del estrés y de algunas de las psicopatologías relacionadas con él, tales como los trastornos de ansiedad (ansiedad generalizada o crisis de pánico) e incluso la depresión. Existen evidencias de que procesos como la neurogénesis y la plasticidad se ven enormemente afectados por muchos factores, entre ellos el estrés. En esta revisión se presentan algunos de los principales conceptos sobre la relación entre estrés, plasticidad y neurogé-nesis, a los que se ha llegado a partir de investigaciones realizadas -principalmente en modelos animales-, desde hace algunas décadas. Se realizará una diferenciación entre los efectos ocasionados por estrés crónico y agudo, tratando de establecer las interacciones que sobre estos efectos ejercen algunas variables tales como el género o el rango de edad, se enfatizarán los efectos comportamentales para finalmente revisar algunas de las formas de intervención actualmente más usadas para el tratamiento del estrés. Palabras clave estrés; plasticidad; neurogénesis a B S t r a C tThere is a growing interest in the comprehension of psychobiological mechanisms underlying stress and its relationships with many psychopathologies such as anxiety (i.e. generalized anxiety and panic attacks) or depression. There are several reports on the effects of stress on neurogenesis and plasticity. This review will discuss some of the core concepts on the relation between stress, plasticity and neurogenesis obtained during the last decades from research -mainly based in the use of animal models. The distinguishable effects between acute and chronic stress will also be discussed in relation to other factors as genre and age with an emphasis on behavioral effects. Some current therapeutic approaches will be reviewed as well.
