รายละเอียด / Details:

Life after Tsunami is difficult and the survivors have become traumatized due to the loss and the fear. Different techniques have been brought in to help people heal psychologically and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has been one of them. This study reports the mental health service utilizing EMDR in Khaolak under the MakingWaves Project during February-December, 2005. The participants are 415 Tsunami survivors who demonstrated psychological impact from the event. Impact of Event Scales are used to identify the target survivors before EMDR therapy being provided by the trained EMDR therapists. The data are collected using EMDR session notes that indicate descriptive data and psychological conditions of the participants. The results reveal that 52.53% are recovered cases 39.52% are current cases that need subsequent follow-up sessions. 71% of recovered participants demonstrate rapid recovery (n=218) after a single session, EMDR can be used with all ranges of age from young children ‹10 years old (5.30%) to the elderly >60 years (3.83%). The majority of participants (12.05%) are in 26-45-age group.67.71% is female. 76.14% received individual therapy and 23.85% are involved in EMDR group therapy. This study suggests that EMDR is a significant outreach mental health service for people in the community. Most EMDR trainings must be provided for mental health professionals in Thailand to serve speedier mental health service throughout the country.
