The Solution Focused EMDR
Vol.15,No.3(2021)
Postmodern, systemic, and dialogical approaches in psychotherapy
The aim of this arcticle is to demonstrate a therapeutic approach integrating Solution focused therapy (SFT) and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in the treatment of complex traumatized people. EMDR is an effective treatment approach for traumatic memories and its consequences. Originally, it seem to be rather problem-focused and its effectiveness is highest with simple trauma. In our work with severely traumatized people, we apply SF attitudes and ways of relationship building together with adjusted EMDR protocols to create a flexible, yet structured treatment plan. In this article, we go through all the eight phases of standard EMDR protocol highlighting our solution-focused modifications and introduce The EMDR Gear box, created by Hélène Dellucci.
