The controlled therapeutic abreaction of such memories and their integration into the life story is a central task in the treatment of MPD. In this article, I propose a variation of a technique adapted from the child psychotherapy literature, Gardner's Mutual Story Telling Technique, as an aid to providing the missing narrative after abreactive work. In addition, the technique may be said to provide a healing function, introducing a therapeutic witness to the trauma scenes. Reconstructing a coherent narrative is claimed to have further effects on ongoing identity formation, central to the recovery process in MPD. 295011 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 053-060 : A mutual story-telling technique as an aid to integration after abreaction in the treatment of MPD A mutual story-telling technique as an aid to integration after abreaction in the treatment of MPD Article

Paulsen, Sandra 2005-10-11T20:21:47Z 2005-10-11T20:21:47Z 1995-03 0896-2863 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/1592 p. 032-044 Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is described in terms of clinical phenomena, the need for appropriate training in EMDR, and the consistency of neural network theory with BASK theory of dissociation. EMDR treatment failures occur in dissociative disorder patients when EMDR is used without making diagnosis of the underlying dissociative condition and without modifying the EMDR procedure to accommodate it. Careful informed consent and the use of the dissociative table technique can allow EMDR to move successfully to completion in a dissociative patient. Certain "red flags" contraindicate the use of EMDR for some dissociative patients. A protocol for EMDR with dissociative patients is offered, for crisis intervention (rarely appropriate), abreactive trauma work, and integration/fusion. The safety and effectiveness of EMDR's use in the dissociative disorders requires adequate preparation and skillful trouble-shooting during the EMDR. 403983 bytes application/pdf en_US Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Dissociation Dissociation : Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 032-044 : Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: its cautious use in the dissociative disorders Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing: its cautious use in the dissociative disorders Article
