Abstract

This study aims to investigate the specific effects of the EMDR Flash Technique on adolescents with depression. This follow-up study consists of 32 adolescents, 12–17 years of age ( M = 14.34, SD = 1.56), including 7 males and 25 females. They were evaluated with Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children Present, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Children Revised Impact of Event Scale-8 (Crıes-8). These were administered at baseline, at the end of the 4th and 12th weeks of treatment. The EMDR Flash Technique which can be utilized in the preparation phase of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the intensity of highly distressing memories rapidly and relatively painlessly was applied for 12 weeks, one session per week as a free-standing intervention. Also, the EMDR Flash Technique can be effective in decreasing the rate of noncompliance and drop-outs of adolescents. The baseline means of total BDI scores decreased from 48.19 to 2.16 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Also, the CRIES scores decreased from 31.78 to 0.44 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. In addition, the baseline means of SUD scores decreased from 9.53 to zero at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Overall, our results underscore the effectiveness of the EMDR-Flash Technique in adolescents with depression.

青少年抑郁症患者的 EMDR Flash 技术：为期十二周的跟踪研究

本研究旨在探讨 EMDR Flash 技术对患有抑郁症的青少年的具体影响。这项跟踪研究由 32 名 12-17 岁的青少年组成（男 = 14.34，女 = 1.56），其中包括 7 名男性和 25 名女性。他们接受了 "学龄儿童情感障碍和精神分裂症现症儿童时间表"（Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children Present）、"贝克抑郁量表"（Beck Depression Inventory，BDI）和 "儿童修订事件影响量表-8"（Children Revised Impact of Event Scale-8，Crıes-8）的评估。这些问卷分别在基线、第 4 周和第 12 周治疗结束时进行。EMDR闪光技术可用于眼动脱敏和再处理（EMDR）的准备阶段，以快速、相对无痛的方式降低高度痛苦记忆的强度。此外，EMDR Flash 技术还能有效降低青少年的违规率和辍学率。治疗第 12 周结束时，BDI 总分的基线平均值从 48.19 降至 2.16。在第 12 周治疗结束时，CRIES 分数也从 31.78 降至 0.44。此外，在治疗的第 12 周结束时，SUD 的基线平均分从 9.53 分降至 0 分。总之，我们的研究结果表明，EMDR-Flash 技术对患有抑郁症的青少年非常有效。
