Program Description:

1.8 million people are incarcerated in the U.S., and each year 650,000 people reenter society and return to their communities. Many have high ACES scores and childhood neglect histories contributing to the likelihood of reoffending. Many recidivists reenact early trauma or seek serially to maladaptively solve their attachment yearnings or have other unresolved traumatic motives. EMDR is successfully used in prisons, as will be conveyed using interview data with clinicians. As one presenter is a former homicide detective who conducted thousands of interviews/interrogations, case material will poignantly illustrate the psychological reenactment dynamics of offenders.

One presenter uses Early Trauma EMDR to repair developmental trauma, and both use standard protocol to intervene in traumatic reenactments and intergenerational transmission of trauma. The audience will glimpse into a future where telehealth or direct EMDR reduces recidivism by resolving developmental trauma and injurious early relationship experiences before prisoners return to society.

 

Goals & Objectives:

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. List five categories of serial crime that may be affected or caused by developmental trauma or neglect, as informed by the presenters’ summary of taxonomies from the research on criminal profiling.
  2. Identify four common psychological themes that emerge from individuals’ early histories that research or clinical experience suggest correlate to recidivism in serial offenders.
  3. Describe four considerations or problems for EMDR clinicians working with the incarcerated in prison settings, and identify possible solutions as described by the presenters, including how telehealth might resolve most of these challenges.
