Eye movement desensitization reprocessing This form of therapy enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress from the trauma. EDMR is a quick and efficient way of healing, it facilitates the accessing of traumatic memories to bring adaptive resolutions (Fuller, 2013). Francine Shapiro developed EMDR in 1989. EMDR is when clients recall a disturbing event for half a minute while simultaneously undergo bilateral simulation and recall a disturbing event (Fuller, 2013).

Amanda Suda Mrs. Schmidt Honors English 10 6 March 2013 EMDR and Brainspotting Developed to help patients overcome the symptoms associated with traumatic memories, EMDR and Brainspotting use specific types of focusing and reprocessing to alter the mind. Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., is credited with discovering Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, in 1989. She found that particular eye movements would reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts in some of her clients. Since Dr. Shapiro’s discovery, EMDR has been changed and further developed into a highly effective treatment for diseases such as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Panic Disorders.

Individuals do this to make the pain go away which ultimately they really just defense mechanisms (Gottdiener, Murawski, & Kucharski, 2008). “According to psychoanalytic conflict theory, defense mechanisms are activated when the individual experiences any form of displeasure, especially anxiety or depressive affect” (Brenner, 1982).

was teaching me about common secondary complications patients suffer from after a stroke that results in severe weakness on one side. The patient, “Mr A”, had experienced a right side ischemic stroke, resulting in severe weakness of both left upper and lower limbs and disphagia. At the time, Mr A was resting with a number of IV drips attached, an oxygen mask and a nasogastric tube inserted to provide nutrition. Mr A’s oxygen saturation (Sp02) had been low and respiratory physiotherapy had been requested. After being taught the “ABCDE” assessment tool, I was asked to perform it with supervision.
Rather it attempts to help the patient find better ways to deal with current problems. IPT identifies four basic problem areas which contribute to depression. The therapist helps the patient determine which area is the most responsible for his depression and therapy is then directed at helping the patient deal with this problem area. The four basic problem areas recognized by Interpersonal Therapy are: Unresolved grief - In normal bereavement, the person usually begins to return to normal functioning within a few months.
