• 9:00 am: Treating Interpersonal Dependence and Pathological Bonding w/ EMDR presented by Dominique Barritt-McBride MA LMHC NCC CST:  - Originally presented by Arun Mansukhani, Ph.D

DESCRIPTION: Interpersonal Dependence (ID) and Pathological Bonding Patterns (PBP) are a major clinical and social problem. Related to anxiety disorders, substance addiction, sexual dependence, and to domestic and gender violence. ID-PBP is very closely related to attachment patterns and types. EMDR and the AIP model provide us with a strong therapeutic model to understand and treat different psychological and emotional disturbances. This is also true for adult ID and PBP. But for these it is necessary to integrate the AIP model with Attachment Theory and the ID-PBP framework, resulting in specific changes in the standard intervention with EMDR

Learning Objectives:  

1. Supply information that helps realize and critically consider the importance of Interpersonal Dependence (ID) and Pathological Bonding Patterns (PBP) in relation to different psychopathological conditions
   
2. Introduce a phased model that permits the application of the EMDR protocols and techniques at the right moment of the treatment and with the most appropriate targets.
