Learning Objectives
You don’t need to know anything about Jungian Psychology to participate, but you do need to have completed EMDR training.
- Identify and compare relevant components that EMDR therapy and Jung’s psychoanalytic models share. Overview of the value and rational for integration of the two models.
- Discuss and compare the explanation of a multi-stage process each model identifies as part of the therapeutic process and how the integration of these two models clarifies each of these stages.
- Incorporate the objective empirical perspective emphasized in the development of the evidenced based approach of EMDR therapy with the more subjective artistic view championed by C. G. Jung.
- Discuss and describe the historic evolution of the name EMD to EMDR in which Shapiro shifted from an exposure approach to a free association psychoanalytic approach in the EMDR processing to demonstrate and valid reason for this integrative approach.
- Discuss and describe the importance of a self-healing approach that these two models share in their understanding of the therapeutic process.
- Identify and understand the importance that defense mechanisms play in the service of avoidance from this integrative perspective.
- Describe the necessity for the client to surrender to the therapeutic process required by both of these models and also required in the integrative perspective.
- Describe how the integrative approach of the first three parallels (Self-healing, avoidance and surrender) work within the framework of EMDR therapy.
- Identify and understand the additional integrative parallels (dismantling of the negative core belief; loss of identity; adaptive shift to the new self) and their relevance to the EMDR therapy and transformational stages.
- Distinguish and utilize the Jungian material from the more familiar EMDR material to enhance generalization and accelerate EMDR processing.
- Advise the trainee of Jung and Shapiro’s warning (informed consent) because of the profound and permanent psychological change that can occur when EMDR moves beyond symptoms resolution.
- Analyze video and review case transcripts for both EMDR material and Jungian material.
- Practice Session 1 & II: Identify and process EMDR therapy with a new integrative understanding that provides the therapist with more opportunity to enhance generalization.
