Abstract
IntroductionThe objective of this article is to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of combining systemic family therapy with EMDR therapy. To do so, we consider how current and past traumatic experiences impact the family system and the interest of taking a broader, integrative approach to treating the child and the family as a whole. MethodTwo case studies are described to illustrate the basis for establishing a two-phase approach to caring for the child and the family. ResultTaking an integrative clinical approach improves the ability to address the complexities of family trauma and plays a role in enabling the child to construct a congruent narrative allowing for the release of negative emotions connected to a traumatic or stressful event. ConclusionThe integrative approach of combining systemic family therapy and EMDR therapy allows for a more efficient and comprehensive strategy for addressing trauma and its impact on family dynamics and individual functioning.
