The treatment of complex trauma: EMDR in conjunction with schema-focused cognitive behavioural therapy approaches

Some clients with complex trauma whose experience goes back many years may never learn to form an intact, whole sense of themselves or engaged in health relationships with others. For these people, trust is a major issue and usually time-limited protocols of treatment either fail or are only partially helpful. Drawing on examples from clinical practice with complex trauma clients, this presentation will describe the use of a number of specifc technqiues and introduce a therapeutic framework, combining the use of EMDR and schema-focused cognitive behavioural psychotherapy.
