For young children, even minor, inconspicuous looking events can lead to posttraumatic stress symptoms. Trauma-focused treatment with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers children an age-adapted intervention to help them successfully process traumatic experiences. So far, there has been a lack of well evaluated trauma-focused treatments for young children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These case series examine the effectiveness of a short-term treatment with EMDR therapy for children showing PTSD symptoms after experiencing a single incident induced trauma. Five children between 5 and 10 years of age who developed PTSD after a single incident trauma received a manualized EMDR treatment for 6 weeks (mean number of sessions: seven including a mean number of EMDR sessions: 3.4). Posttraumatic stress symptoms were assessed prior to treatment, following treatment and at a 3-month follow-up with standardized instruments for caregivers and children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PTSD symptoms decreased for all children after completing the treatment from clinical to non-clinical level. Reductions in vegetative hyperarousal, fears and clinging behaviour were achieved. Furthermore, reductions in the parental stress levels, as well as a recovery of everyday routine and everyday stability were observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Short-term EMDR treatment appears to be a promising treatment for single incident trauma in young children providing a potentially successful quick and safe psychological treatment for children. Results contribute to the knowledge of feasibility and acceptability of short-term, trauma-focused treatments of children with EMDR. Replication of the results of these case series in larger samples using a randomized controlled design is warranted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/13591045221082395","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,2]],"date-time":"2022-04-02T01:56:42Z","timestamp":1648864602000},"page":"450-464","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Short-term eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat children with posttraumatic stress symptoms after single trauma: A case series"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7127-5568","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Lempertz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Private Practice for Child and Youth Psychotherapy, Unkel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mira","family":"Vasileva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child and Community Wellbeing Unit, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Melbourne AU-VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luise","family":"Brandstetter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University Bonn, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Bering","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Human Science, University of Cologne, Germany"},{"name":"Center for Psychotraumatology, Alexianer Krefeld GmbH, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franka","family":"Metzner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Psychology, University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-13591045221082395","volume-title":"Manual for the ASEBA preschool forms & profiles: An integrated system of multi-informant assessment; Child behavior checklist for ages 1 1\/2-5; Language development survey; Caregiver-teacher report form","author":"Achenbach T.
