Third Research Study on the Provision of the EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol with Child Victims of Severe Interpersonal Violence
EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol and Individual EMDR Therapy Protocol for kids who attended a trauma recovery camp.
Article Abstract
“This study presents the results of the application of the EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol and Individual EMDR Therapy Protocol, to a total of 16 children (2 boys and 14 girls), aged between 9 to 13 years old, who attended a trauma recovery camp. All had been victims of severe interpersonal violence. The 14 girls had been victims of physical violence and rape; some for long periods of time, even years, by family members or acquaintances. One of the girls, as young as 11 years old, contracted a sexually transmitted disease as a result of the rape; another girl, besides of being repeatedly raped by her political grandfather, was blamed by him, for the rape he perpetrated on the younger sister; arguing she was responsible for looking after her. Regarding the two boys, in addition of being victims of physical and emotional violence; one of them witnessed how his father and cousin raped a female cousin; and the other one witnessed the attempted suicide of his father. All children were living with their families, characterized by being dysfunctional (e.g., knife fights between parents). To analyze the effects of treatment, a General Linear Model was used. There were analyzed three measures (pre-treatment, post-treatment and follow-up), obtained in the Subjective Units of Disturbance (SUD) and the Short PTSD Rating Interview (SPRINT) scores. The results showed a statistically significant effect of treatment in the between subjects test for both the SUD and the SPRINT scores: (F [1,15] = 146.85, p < .000 and F [ 1,14 ] = 238.56 , p < .000, respectively. The statistical one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) on the effects of treatment in all groups participating in the trauma recovery camps from 2011 to 2013, showed that after EMDR Therapy, participants had no significant differences in the SPRINT scores, this results denotes that the EMDR therapy had similar beneficial effect for all participants. Further research on the application of Group and Individual EMDR Therapy, as part of a multicomponent phase-based treatment for children and adolescents victims of severe interpersonal violence is needed.”
