“…There is a large consensus about the importance of early interventions for dealing with the traumatic child responses to natural disaster (Wang et al, 2013 ; Pfefferbaum et al, 2017 ). Treatment promptness is fundamental to prevent the worsening of post-traumatic symptoms (Norris et al, 2002b ), as well as their persistence across time in children (Honig et al, 1993 ; Green et al, 1994 ; Ularntinon et al, 2008 ; Piyasil et al, 2011 ).…”

“…The prompt availability of psychological interventions in the aftermath of a natural disaster has become essential to prevent the onset, as well as the worsening of psychopathological symptoms in exposed individuals (National Institute of Mental Health, 2002 ; Te Brake et al, 2009 ), especially in children, who are more vulnerable to the dramatic effects of critical events, compared to adults (Norris et al, 2002b ). Indeed, children's psychopathological responses may be enduring (Ularntinon et al, 2008 ; Piyasil et al, 2011 ) and persist until adulthood (Honig et al, 1993 ; Green et al, 1994 ), with a significant impairment of their individual functioning throughout their lifespan.…”

This study explored the effects of the EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol (EMDR-IGTP) on child survivors of the earthquakes that struck Umbria, a region of central Italy, on August 24th and on October 26th 2016. Three hundred and thirty-two children from the town of Norcia and nearby severely disrupted villages received 3 cycles of EMDR-IGTP. The Emotion Thermometers (ET-5) and the Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) were administered before (T0) and about 1 week after the conclusion of the third cycle (T3) of EMDR-IGTP. At T3, older children showed a reduction of distress and anger, whereas younger children reported an increase on these domains; moreover, older children reported a greater reduction of anxiety than younger ones. A greater reduction of distress, anxiety, and need for help was evidenced in females, whereas a greater improvement in depressive symptoms was evidenced in males. The effects of the EMDR-IGTP treatment on post-traumatic symptoms were particularly evident in older children, compared to younger ones, and marginally greater in females than in males; moreover, a greater improvement was found in children who had received a timelier intervention, than in those who received delayed treatment. These results provide further evidence for the utility of EMDR-IGTP in dealing with the extensive need for mental health services in mass disaster contexts. Also, these data highlight the importance of providing EMDR-IGTP in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster, to contribute significantly in restoring adaptive psychological functioning in children, especially in older ones.

“…The methodology that evolved for analysis of the interview data drew on the experience of two of us in studies in which narratives of individual interviews were the primary source of data (Honig and Barron 2013;Honig et al 1993), as well as the experience of other researchers using similar interview narratives as their data base (Erlich et al 2015;Kantrowitz 1996;Lundgren 2019). We transcribed and shared all the interviews among the three of us.…”

The term institute is used inclusively here to refer to different organizational structures such as psychoanalytic societies and centers. Those organizations have primary tasks such as providing education and training in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Existential threats covers a range of factors, both internal and external to an organization, that may seriously impair or destroy its capacity to carry out its primary tasks and to survive as a functioning entity. Perceptions and responses relating to those threats are dynamic processes within the organization that shift and evolve over time. This case study explores one institute’s use of organizational self-inquiry and external consultation to strengthen its capacity to perceive, make meaning of, and respond adaptively to those threats. The qualitative research for this case study is based on a series of semistructured individual interviews with a representative sample of participants in the consultation, close attention to the intersubjective experiences of interviewees and interviewers, and careful thematic analysis of the interview data. Interviewees shared their understanding of what led up to the consultation, their experience of the consultation, and their perception of its immediate and ongoing impact. Many interviewees felt that the consultation helped strengthen the institute’s organizational capacity for resilience and innovation, expressed the desire for additional consultation to ensure the institute’s survival and ongoing health, recommended that the institute include the study of organizational dynamics in its curriculum, and thought it should develop its internal capacity for organizational self-inquiry.
