Abstract

EMDR is a treatment method that combines the techniques of many different psychotherapy approaches and provides a multifaceted intervention to the adverse impacts of traumatic experiences by matching mental information processing and physical stimulation. Although EMDR was initially developed to be administered to adults individually, it has become a wide-ranging treatment application with the use of children, adolescents, and group studies. This paper aimed to review the theoretical framework and past studies on the use of EMDR in the treatment of children with traumatic experiences and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Traumatic experiences during childhood can lead to many psychological disorders and behavioral problems in adulthood and disrupt a child's normal development process. EMDR studies with children have shown that it is an effective method in reducing PTSD symptoms and supporting psychological well-being, even in shortterm applications. Therefore, it has been thought that it may be beneficial to extend the use of EMDR for the treatment of trauma in children. From the perspective of individual and social mental health, the EMDR method is considered as a valid, effective, and efficient treatment method in terms of minimizing the negative experiences of children and being a protective intervention for their future lives.

Özet

EMDR, birçok farklı psikoterapi yaklaşımının tekniklerini bir araya getiren ve zihinsel bilgi işleme süreçleri ile bedensel uyarımları eşleştirerek travmatik deneyimlerin olumsuz etkilerine karşıçok yönlü müdahale edilmesini sağlayan bir tedavi yöntemidir. EMDR başlangıçta bireysel olarakyetişkinlere uygulanmak üzere tasarlanmıştır, ancak daha sonra çocuklar, ergenler ve gruplarlayapılan çalışmalarda da kullanılan geniş çaplı bir tedavi uygulaması haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, çocuklukta karşılaşılan travmatik deneyimleri olan ve travma sonrası stres belirtisigösteren çocukların tedavisinde, EMDR kullanımına dair kuramsal çerçevenin ve geçmiş çalışmaların gözden geçirilmesidir. Çocuklukta meydana gelen travmatik deneyimlerin, yetişkinliktebirçok psikolojik rahatsızlığa ve davranış problemlerine sebep olduğu, yanı sıra çocuğun normalgelişim sürecinde aksamalara yol açtığı bilinmektedir. Çocuklarla yapılan çalışmalar, EMDRyönteminin kısa süreli uygulamalarda bile TSSB semptomlarının azaltılmasında ve psikolojik iyioluşun desteklenmesinde etkili bir yöntem olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu yönüyle, çocuklarda travmatedavisi için EMDR kullanımının yaygınlaştırılmasının faydalı olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bireysel ve toplumsal ruh sağlığı açısından, çocukların yaşadıkları olumsuz deneyimleri en azaindirmesi ve gelecek yaşamları için koruyucu bir müdahale olması nedeniyle EMDR yöntemigeçerli, etkili ve verimli bir tedavi yöntemi olarak görülmektedir.
