Early psychological intervention following trauma (EPI): Current status, issues and the case for early EMDR intervention (EEI)

Traumatic stress holds significant risks for mental and physical health but despite much research, there is still a need for greater clarity with answers to basic questions about whether to intervene early, when (how soon), who to treat, or how to respond to best prevent PTSD and the various other disorders associated with trauma. This presentation examines the current evidence, issues, and challenges of Early Psychological Intervention in general and of EMDR Early Intervention in particular.
