Abstract

Background and aims:
In the last decade, the number of forcibly displaced people has been increasing significantly and the results of the traumas they have experienced can be very devastating. The traumas they have experienced effect not only the refugees but also their families and the society they live in. This workshop is designed to help the clinicians understand the psychological stages of the refugee process and learn how to use EMDR therapy that is specifically implemented for the needs of refugees. Because of increasing number of refugees and the smaller number of therapists, the importance of EMDR group therapy is rising. So the implementation of EMDR group therapy with refugees will also be another topic of this workshop. The purpose of the workshop is providing clinicians with practical strategies for the efficient and effective implementation of EMDR Therapy (group or individually) into their practice.
Methods:
the workshop will be as a presentation depending on the last research and clinical experience and my last book chapter in “EMDR Group Therapy Emerging Principles and protocols to treat Trauma and Beyond” Springer publishing 2023.
Results and conclusion:
no research findings will be shared in detail but the research and resources about the topic will be shared with citations.
Learning objectives:
1) understanding the psychological stages of forcibly displaced people, learning tips for organizing the system for a successful EMDR setting.
2) Identifying the guiding principles for adapting individual and group EMDR therapy ( use of translators, cultural adaptations, subculture unwritten rules etc.) to refugees and asylum seekers and
3) recognising strategies specific for every stage including acute phase to resettlement will be the outcomes of the workshop.
