Online option: This is your fastest, most convenient and most environmentally friendly option. If you do not pass the online exam the first time, you may retake it as many times as needed to obtain a passing score without additional charge. The last screen of the online exam tells you which items you marked incorrectly. Completed exams are emailed to our office. You must also complete the online course evaluation to receive your certificate.

Paper option: There is an additional fee to score paper exams by hand. The first retake is without additional charge. For subsequent retakes, there is a $10 fee. The paper exam packets are available for download as PDF files. You may return your completed credit examination and course evaluation by either mail or fax.

AIP, Attachment Theory and EMDR Case Conceptualization
Presenter Andrew M. Leeds, PhD - 3.0 EMDRIA Credits
Session 333 - EMDRIA Credit Course 99019-DL50

With complex cases many clinicians struggle with case formulation and predicting responses to EMDR reprocessing. This presentation integrates the Adaptive Information Processing Model with adult attachment classification. Clinical case examples illustrate practical clinical strategies for assessing attachment classification as a foundation for case formulation. With conflicting models for treatment planning in the standard EMDR text, this presentation offers a symptom informed approach, incorporating elements of the parallel models of Korn (Korn, et al., 2004) and Leeds (2004). Case example treatment plans will be presented in a visual format to illustrate how this model can be applied to simple and complex cases. (Intermediate) 75%

Learning to feel good about positive emotions
with the Positive Affect Tolerance and Integration protocol
Presenter Andrew M. Leeds, PhD - 1.5 EMDRIA Credits
Session 322 - EMDRIA Credit Course 99019-DL42

Survivors of profound early childhood emotional neglect and abuse often experience shared positive emotional states as aversive. For such survivors these states are unfamiliar and may be associated with formative experiences of being ignored, shamed or hurt. Concepts from the Adaptive Information Processing Model, attachment theory, Putnam's discrete behavioral states model and McCullough's affect phobia provide the foundation for the Positive Affect Tolerance and Integration Protocol. Standard EMDR procedural steps increase tolerance for and integration of positive emotional states and to develop a more resilient and positive self-concept. Case examples illustrate criteria and potential benefits of this approach with the aim of encouraging further research. (Intermediate) 100%

The Neurobiology of EMDR: Recent Findings and Insights
Presenter Uri Bergmann, PhD - 3.0 EMDRIA Credits
Session 333 - EMDRIA Credit Course 99019-DL48

Clinical case reports and controlled research suggest that EMDR is equally and perhaps more efficacious than other methods in treating PTSD. However, as EMDR originated as an empirically driven method, there has persisted a need for a more defined theoretical and neurobiological model of EMDR’s reported robust effects. This presentation will synthesize the existing research on memory formation. Specific attention will be given to recent empirical findings, involving the thalamus in somatosensory integration and in episodic and procedural memory integration. This material will be integrated with previously posited theories regarding the cerebellum’s involvement in many aspects of information processing and activation processes of the frontal lobes and EMDR’s activation of the neurophysiology of REM-sleep systems.

EMDR and Ego State integrated treatment provides a clinical model for dealing with health problems in complex trauma survivors. Health problems are made more complex by the presence of dissociative disorders and PTSD symptoms in adult survivors. This presentation will focus on the treatment of these disorders. EMDR and Ego State techniques will be utilized to help the CTS patient: a) manage triggers and avoid re-traumatization, hyperarousal and numbing; desensitize and reprocess traumatic events; b) become assertive health consumers and deal with medical/dental procedures and tests; c) learn skills such as rehearsal, identifying problems, planning visits, etc. (Intermediate & Advanced) 60%

This workshop will provide a comprehensive body of knowledge and advanced techniques so EMDR clinicians can effectively implement the EMDR protocol with children. Participants will learn strategies to make children acquainted with the different components of the EMDR protocol, as well as the use of sand tray techniques to assist children during the EMDR assessment and desensitization phases. Special attention will be placed on how and when to use the cognitive interweave with children. Different types of cognitive interweaves that are more suitable for children will be presented. Additionally, this workshop will address how to work on the future template with children using play therapy and creative strategies. (Intermediate) 100%

Treating Dissociation in the Spectrum of Personality Disorders:
Integrating EMDR and Ego State Treatment
Presenter Uri Bergmann, PhD - 3.0 EMDRIA Credits
Session 221 - EMDRIA Credit Course 99019-DL43

The integration of EMDR with Ego State therapy will be presented as a comprehensive approach to the treatment of the wide spectrum of personality disorders. New evidence from the fields of neuroscience, regarding the normative multiplicity of the self, will be defined and described. Historically, the treatment of personality disorders has been described as difficult, if not impossible; manifested by a rigid, character-armor, defensive resistance. This presentation will propose that the presence of untreated dissociation accounts for these failures and will highlight the use of ego-state-specific EMDR targeting to facilitate robust processing.

EMDR Masters Series – I
Presenter Deany Laliotis, LCSW-C - 3.0 EMDRIA Credits
Session 235 - EMDRIA Credit Course 99019-DL46

Twenty years ago, EMDR began as a clinical technique used to help clients reprocess major traumatic experiences. Since then, EMDR has developed into a comprehensive psychotherapy approach that is being used to treat low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and performance issues not connected to major trauma, but rather to networks of unprocessed early experiences. This workshop will help clinicians develop a way of thinking about and applying EMDR to these cases where the “traumas” are not so obvious, but nonetheless, a powerful contributor to the client’s current difficulties. Cases will be presented in depth with videotape to illustrate how the treatment process evolves using EMDR and how to adequately address the insidious nature of these childhood experiences. Participants will learn how to conceptualize the case over time, how to apply cognitive interweave strategies to facilitate the client’s process, and how to develop future templates to facilitate personal growth and lasting change.
