EMDR treatment of psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia: Using the ICONN protocol

Psychotic phenomena are challenging to treat. The most severe psychosis is schizophrenia, which has a heavy burden and reduced life expectancy through physical illness and suicide. Psychotherapy in psychosis is experiencing a renaissance and this workshop will discuss case selection and the application of the ICONN protocol for EMDR with psychosis. The ICONN protocol has been developed from experience with a series of patients with psychotic disorders, including ‘M’, a patient who met Kendler’s strict criteria for schizophrenia. ‘M’ remains in recovery after 4 years.
