EMDR treatment in patients with personality disorders. Should we fear symptom exacerbation?
Background: Clinicians are often hesitant to use trauma-focused therapy for patients with personality disorders (PDs) because of concerns that the pathology may worsen.Objective: Exploring trajectories of change and individual exacerbations in psychological distress and suicidal thoughts in patients with a PD without comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during EMDR therapy or waiting time.Method: In a randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of five sessions of EMDR therapy was compared with a waitlist in 97 outpatients. Acute suicidal patients were not included in this study. Psychological distress and suicidality scores were measured on a weekly basis during the EMDR and waiting list (WL) periods and at 3-month follow-up. Data were analysed in a descriptive manner for individual patients, and hierarchical cluster analysis was used to identify patterns of change among clusters of patients. Mann-Whitney U and chi-squared tests were used to explore differences in specific patient characteristics between the found clusters of patients.Results: Patients generally improved, and no clusters of patients deteriorated during the EMDR therapy. Session-to-session exacerbations occurred in both the EMDR (psychological distress: 10.0%; suicidal thoughts: 28.0%) and WL group (psychological distress: 28.0%; suicidal thoughts: 43.5%). Two percent of patients in the EMDR group and 8.7% of patients in the WL condition showed an increase in psychological distress, whereas 2.0% of patients in the EMDR group and 10.9% of patients in the WL condition showed an increase in suicidal thoughts posttreatment compared to baseline.Conclusions: These results show that although individual exacerbations in psychological distress and suicidal thoughts occur, these were less likely to occur in response to EMDR therapy compared with no therapy. Continuation of therapy following exacerbation led to a decrease in psychological distress and suicidal thoughts in most patients.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) is a peer-reviewed open access interdisciplinary journal owned by the European Society of Traumatic Stress Studies (ESTSS). The European Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) aims to engage scholars, clinicians and researchers in the vital issues of how to understand, prevent and treat the consequences of stress and trauma, including but not limited to, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive disorders, substance abuse, burnout, and neurobiological or physical consequences, using the latest research or clinical experience in these areas. The journal shares ESTSS’ mission to advance and disseminate scientific knowledge about traumatic stress. Papers may address individual events, repeated or chronic (complex) trauma, large scale disasters, or violence. Being open access, the European Journal of Psychotraumatology is also evidence of ESTSS’ stand on free accessibility of research publications to a wider community via the web. The European Journal of Psychotraumatology seeks to attract contributions from academics and practitioners from diverse professional backgrounds, including, but not restricted to, those in mental health, social sciences, and health and welfare services. Contributions from outside Europe are welcome. The journal welcomes original basic and clinical research articles that consolidate and expand the theoretical and professional basis of the field of traumatic stress; Review articles including meta-analyses; short communications presenting new ideas or early-stage promising research; study protocols that describe proposed or ongoing research; case reports examining a single individual or event in a real‑life context; clinical practice papers sharing experience from the clinic; letters to the Editor debating articles already published in the Journal; inaugural Lectures; conference abstracts and book reviews. Both quantitative and qualitative research is welcome.
