“…The score decreased significantly after EMDR treatment (M ϭ 3.7, SD ϭ 3.1, t ϭ 16.3, p Ͻ .001). Although this study (Chung et al, 2014) was descriptive in nature, and without control group or follow-up evaluation, the results suggest that even a brief single session of EMDR therapy may bring benefits to recently traumatized children.…”

This article focuses on the accomplishments of humanitarian projects in Asia using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. The main thrust of EMDR humanitarian assistance programs has been to train local clinicians to provide EMDR to individuals suffering from the disaster. The article highlights the training projects and the experience of using EMDR therapy after earthquakes in China, India, Indonesia, and Pakistan; after tsunamis in Japan, India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka; and after accidents and terror attacks in Korea and Pakistan. Detailed descriptions are provided about the responses to the 2001 earthquake in Gujarat; the 2004 tsunami in India, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka; the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan; the 2008 earthquake in China; and the 2011 tsunami in Japan. In addition, the article discusses how Asian EMDR therapists are working together to provide training, respond to crises, and establish professional standards, so that EMDR therapy can be established in Asia and integrated into regular practice. Further, this article describes the creation of EMDR Asia, which brought several Asian countries together and share the development of EMDR therapy in their countries. The challenges faced by EMDR Asia today are discussed in detail.

“…This often results in important data not being published and made available to the public. Unpublished data were received and included for six studies (Jarero et al 2006 b , c , d , 2008; Chung et al 2014; Mehrotra, 2014). This initial search yielded 5575 studies, of which 37 were included in statistical analyses (see Fig.…”

Psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents after man-made and natural disasters: a meta-analysis and systematic review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Children and adolescents are a vulnerable group to develop post-traumatic stress symptoms after natural or man-made disasters. In the light of increasing numbers of refugees under the age of 18 years worldwide, there is a significant need for effective treatments. This meta-analytic review investigates specific psychosocial treatments for children and adolescents after man-made and natural disasters. In a systematic literature search using MEDLINE, EMBASE and PsycINFO, as well as hand-searching existing reviews and contacting professional associations, 36 studies were identified. Randomand mixed-effects models were applied to test for average effect sizes and moderating variables. Overall, treatments showed high effect sizes in pre-post comparisons (Hedges' g = 1.34) and medium effect sizes as compared with control conditions (Hedges' g = 0.43). Treatments investigated by at least two studies were cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), narrative exposure therapy for children (KIDNET) and classroom-based interventions, which showed similar effect sizes. However, studies were very heterogenic with regard to their outcomes. Effects were moderated by type of profession (higher level of training leading to higher effect sizes). A number of effective psychosocial treatments for child and adolescent survivors of disasters exist. CBT, EMDR, KIDNET and classroom-based interventions can be equally recommended. Although disasters require immediate reactions and improvisation, future studies with larger sample sizes and rigorous methodology are needed.

“…Overall, our fining supports use of a single-session intervention for acute phase of trauma. Single-session early interventions that emerged in recent literature targets different populations including military rescue workers [21], technical disaster survivors [22], and disaster volunteers [39], school children witnessing deaths [24], and children inpatients [25]. However, they have very similar composition of the session involving psychoeducation (giving information on trauma reactions and normalization of experience), teaching coping skills to distress (affect regulation or relaxation exercises).…”

“…These include Group 512 psychological intervention model from critical incident stress debriefing [21], eye movement desensitization and reprocessing protocol for recent critical incidents [22] and brief dyadic therapy from CBT [23]. Although these interventions with some other single-session therapies [24,25] stem from different treatment orientations, the therapy, as a rule, is organized with psychoeducation, coping or relaxation skills, and resource or motivational enhancement. In a previous study, Chung et al [24] examined a single-session stabilizing group intervention of psychoeducation and affect regulation skills for 464 school children aged between 10 to 12 years after four days after trauma.…”

Background: Although the field of psychology currently recommends trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy for early psychological intervention for acute traumatic stress, additional research is required for safe and efficient psychotherapy that can delivered to a broader population and within a brief period of time. Methods: This pilot study examined the safety and feasibility of a single-session group stabilization intervention for individuals conducted at an average of two weeks after various types of traumatic events. Further development of DSM-5 mental disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and others, was assessed at the six-month follow-up. A total of 38 participants with acute stress symptoms participated in a single-session 90-minute group psychotherapy, which consists of psychoeducation; identification of and coping with triggers; somatosensory grounding; and containment exercise. Results: After six months, follow-up was conducted on 34 (89.5%) patients, who completed the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Mental Disorders and the PTSD Checklist-5. One (2.9%) participant met the current diagnosis of PTSD, whereas none met any other psychiatric diagnoses. A significant decrease was noted in PTSD scores between baseline and follow-up (t=7.4, df=33, p<0.001, Cohen's d=1.27) measured using the PTSD Checklist-5. Conclusion:The finding suggests that a single stabilization session can be used in a safe and efficient manner at of the acute stage of trauma.
