Application de la thérapie EMDR au trouble de la personnalité borderline Application of EMDR therapy for borderline personality disorder
Description
Il y a aujourd’hui un intérêt croissant pour l’utilisation de la thérapie de désensibilisation et de retraitement par les mouvements oculaires (EMDR), au-delà du traitement de l’état de stress post-traumatique (ESPT) où son application est bien établie. Étant donné le fort consensus scientifique actuel autour de la responsabilité des vécus traumatiques du passé dans le développement d’un trouble de la personnalité borderline (TPB), l’EMDR semble en effet pouvoir apporter beaucoup au traitement des personnes qui en souffrent. Cependant, les traits spécifiques de ces patients font que l’application de la thérapie EMDR dans leur traitement s’avérer parfois difficile et nécessite plusieurs adaptations (mineures) des procédures standard de l’EMDR pour l’ESPT. Le présent article propose des principes et des stratégies permettant de préparer de façon sûre et efficace les patients TPB à la thérapie EMDR et d’accéder et de retraiter les origines traumatiques du TPB. Des exemples cliniques sont donnés tout au long de cet article.
There is a growing interest in the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy beyond posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) where its application is well established. With strong scholarly consensus that early traumatic and adverse life experiences contribute to the development of borderline personality disorder (BPD), EMDR would appear to offer much to the treatment of persons with BPD. However, given the specific characteristics of these clients, the application of EMDR therapy to their treatment can be challenging and necessitates several minor adaptations of the standard EMDR procedures for PTSD. This article provides an orientation to principles and strategies for safely and effectively preparing clients with BPD for EMDR therapy and for accessing and reprocessing the traumatic origins of BPD. Clinical examples are provided throughout.
