Undoing stigma: EMDR applications for the dismantling of culturally-based internalized oppression and prejudice

This workshop will depict the nature of internalized oppression and social prejudice as they relate to client difficulties and treatment objectives. Research supported information and theory from the fields of social psychology and social work will be integrated within the AIP model to predict the profound potential EMDR offers for addressing culturally based trauma. Research supported strategies to dismantle internalized oppression and social prejudice will be taught including a more culturally aware psycho-social assessment and case formulation, resource development, target selection and special protocols. Practical strategies will be described with case examples including clinical videos to illuminate points.
