Inventarisatie psychosociale zorg in Nederland aan vluchtelingen
Om de ondersteuning aan vluchtelingen te optimaliseren en de daarbij betrokken stakeholders in hun rol en taak te equiperen is het noodzakelijk om het beschikbare aanbod van psychosociale hulpverlening (PSH) voor vluchtelingen gezinnen, in noodopvang, AZC¡¦s, en gemeenten inzichtelijk te maken. Bij zorgverleners, onderwijs, gemeenten, vrijwilligersorganisaties en beleidsmakers is vraag naar een overzicht van het aanbod in PSH.

Purpose: To examine the potential effects of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in children with epilepsy-related posttraumatic stress and/or anxiety symptoms, using a case series design.

Background: According to the working memory (WM) theory of eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), dual tasks that tax WM during memory recall reduce image vividness and emotionality of memory during future recalls when no dual task is carried out. There is some evidence that WM taxing also reduces vividness and emotionality of auditory or verbal imagery.

Background: Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder. The working memory (WM) theory explains its efficacy: recall of an aversive memory and making eye movements (EM) both produce cognitive load, and competition for the limited WM resources reduces the memory’s vividness and emotionality. The present study tested several predictions from WM theory.

Background: In eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), patients make eye movements (EM) while recalling traumatic memories. Making EM taxes working memory (WM), which leaves less resources available for imagery of the memory. This reduces memory vividness and emotionality during future recalls. WM theory predicts that individuals with small working memory capacities (WMCs) benefit more from low levels of taxing (i.e., slow EM) whereas individuals with large WMC benefit more from high levels of taxing (i.e., fast EM).
