Novel findings on EMDR neurobiology and mechanisms of action.

Research focused on EMDR has dramatically grown and neuroimaging represents a powerful
tool to investigate its neurobiological correlates. The impact of EMDR on cortical and subcortical brain regions involved in PTSD has been proven by several investigations
demonstrating a clear association between symptoms disappearance and normalization of
cortical functional changes. Furthermore, patients non-responding to EMDR showed peculiar
patterns of neuronal density distribution in limbic regions. EEG investigations monitoring in
real time the cortical activations occurring during bilateral ocular desensitization made of
EMDR ,the first psychotherapy in which neurobiological correlates have been depicted in real
time during therapy sessions. In the recent past EMDR has been successfully applied in
several disease and hypotheses about the way it works has been proposed by different
investigators.
The purpose of the lecture is to summarize past and recent research findings and present the
evidences of one of the possible mechanisms of action.

Trauma and mental health: Advances in EMDR therapy
Isabel Fernandez
Centro Ricerca e Studi in Psicotraumatologia – Milano
President EMDR Europe Association
From the beginning EMDR has demonstrated effectiveness in treating chronic PTSD and old
trauma memories that can underlie most mental disorders. EMDR therapy has developed as a
complete approach, that is effective not only with symptoms that show significant remission, but
also promoting behavioral change and post-traumatic growth
Clinical experience of thousands of EMDR clinicians as well as research have evidenced that
EMDR therapy can be effective not only with “A” criteria trauma, but also for “early relational
and attachment trauma”. In the last years research in the field of neuroscience and
psychopathology has highlighted the relevant role of early neglect and interpersonal trauma as an
important risk factors in the field of mental health. This confirms the contribution of EMDR in
the treatment of small “t” trauma, that has been one of the focus of Francine Shapiro’s work.
During the presentation the latest publications regarding the role of this kind of trauma in the
development of mental disorders (DSM- 5) will be shown.
The EMDR community is having an active role throughout Europe dealing with the latest
critical and massive events occurring in many European countries. During the presentation
the use of EMDR therapy will be described in the field of interventions with victims of
terroristic attacks, mass disasters and with refugees and asylum seekers.
