Title A name given to the resource Enhancing EMDR with imagery: Practical strategies for complex cases Description An account of the resource Imagery techniques offer a powerful, versatile tool for enhancing EMDR therapy, especially for clients who encounter challenges such as avoidance, cognitive barriers, or emotional overwhelm. This workshop will guide practitioners through integrating imagery activities, including imagery rescripting, to optimise therapeutic outcomes and streamline the EMDR standard protocol. Imagery has long been recognised for its ability to facilitate emotional access, transform distressing memories, and foster self-compassion (Arntz, 2012; Holmes et al., 2021; Morina et al., 2017; Saulsman et al., 2019). There is also evidence to highlight the role of imagery in improving client tolerance for trauma-focused interventions, reducing dropout rates, and enhancing engagement (Arntz et al., 2007). By combining these techniques with EMDR, therapists can address client complexities with greater precision and flexibility. This interactive session provides a structured, step-by-step approach to incorporating imagery into EMDR therapy, including a solid understating of when the addition of imagery is clinically indicated. Drawing on current research and theory, clinical examples, and video demonstrations, participants will learn when and how to apply imagery techniques to overcome resistance, strengthen therapeutic rapport, and foster emotional regulation. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to enrich their practice and maximise client outcomes.

Title A name given to the resource Anamnèse et préparation de la thérapie EMDR pour les cas complexes History taking and preparation for EMDR therapy for complex cases Description An account of the resource La thérapie EMDR, initialement mise au point pour prendre en charge l’état de stress post-traumatique, est reconnue comme un traitement empirique de cette pathologie (Lee et Cuijpers, 2013 ; Shapiro 1995). Des recherches contrôlées plus limitées confirment l’efficacité de la thérapie EMDR dans la prise en charge des phobies spécifiques, de la panique avec agoraphobie, et des troubles dépressifs majeurs (Hase et al., 2015 ; Hofmann et al., 2014). Un nombre croissant d’études de cas suggère que la thérapie EMDR peut aussi traiter avec succès des individus présentant un large éventail de pathologies, notamment les troubles somatoformes, et des cas complexes comme les troubles de la personnalité et les troubles dissociatifs. La thérapie EMDR s’organise autour de plusieurs phases de traitement : anamnèse, préparation, évaluation, désensibilisation, installation, scanner corporel et réévaluation. Ce chapitre est consacré à l’étude des deux premières phases de la thérapie EMDR, l’anamnèse et la préparation dans les cas complexes. Les cas complexes impliquent une détérioration plus importante des symptômes liés aux problèmes d’humeur, de fonctionnement interpersonnel et de prise en charge de soi. Ils sont généralement accompagnés d’antécédents précoces avec des degrés importants de négligence et de maltraitance. Ces cas peuvent être représentés sur une échelle liée au degré de dissociation structurelle (van der Hart et al., 2006) allant de : Troubles de stress extrême non autrement spécifiés (DESNOS … EMDR therapy, initially developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, is recognized as an empirical treatment for this pathology (Lee and Cuijpers, 2013; Shapiro 1995). More limited controlled research confirms the effectiveness of EMDR therapy in the treatment of specific phobias, panic with agoraphobia, and major depressive disorders (Hase et al., 2015; Hofmann et al., 2014). A growing number of case studies suggest that EMDR therapy can also successfully treat individuals with a wide range of conditions, including somatoform disorders, and complex cases such as personality disorders and dissociative disorders. EMDR therapy is organized around several treatment phases: history taking, preparation, evaluation, desensitization, installation, body scan and reassessment. This chapter is devoted to the study of the first two phases of EMDR therapy, history taking and preparation in complex cases. Complex cases involve greater deterioration of symptoms related to problems with mood, interpersonal functioning, and self-care. They are generally accompanied by an early history with significant degrees of neglect and abuse. These cases can be represented on a scale related to the degree of structural dissociation (van der Hart et al., 2006) ranging from: Extreme Stress Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (DESNOS… Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived In Tarquinio, C., Brennsthul, M., Dellucci, H., Iracane-Coste, M., Rydberg, J., Silvestre, M., & Zimmermann, E.
