Utilization of EMDR within critical incident stress management

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) involves a continuum of interventions to deal with the emotional aftermath of a critical incident. The goals of these interventions are to mitigate the impact of the event and promote recovery. EMDR can be integrated within a CISM framework. This workshop will discuss the components of CISM, utilization of EMDR, assessment issues, indications and contraindications of EMDR. Data illustrating the efficacy of EMDR within a CISM framework will be presented. Utilization of EMDR following the attack of the WTC will also be discussed.
