The EMDR protocol for recent critical incidents (EMDR-PRECI)Summary sheet:  The EMDR protocol for recent critical incidents (EMDR-PRECI) (Luber)

EMDR-PRECI was developed in the field originally to treat clients after critical incidents (e.g., earthquake, flooding, landslides) where related stressful events continue for an extended period of time (often more than six months). Although it is a modification of Francine Shapiro’s Recent Traumatic Events Protocol (see Chapter 14), it is also different in several important ways in order to accommodate the extended time frame with its continuum of stressful events, often along the themes of safety, responsibility, and choice. For Jarero & Uribe (2011; 2012) acute trauma situations are not only related to a time frame (e.g., days or months) but also to a post-trauma safety period.
