Welcome on the Homepage of EMDR 4 Sudan
We are a group of Psychiatrist and Psychotherapists, who have come together to do charitable psychiatric healthcare and support our collegues in Sudan - and through them help those people in Sudan suffering from diverse mental Symptoms.
Some of us are inside Sudan - and the rest are helping from all over the world.
The great thing about EMDR is that it has not only been proved to be highly effective in treating posttraumatic stress disorders, but also in treating many other stress related disorders: anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, depression, addiction, eating disorders, psychosomatic Symptoms, etc.
In adition to that EMDR combines parts of all the present therapeutic schools:
- Analytic Psychotherapie
- Psychopdynamic Psychotherapie
- Behavioural Psychotherapie
- Systemic Psychotherapy
- and others
But as Francine Shapiro said: we can help more effectively, if we combine our efforts, instead of staying seperated or even competing against each other, to find out who has the better method.
Purpose of the Association
The purpose of the association is to support public mental health generally and in specific to help in the treatment of posttraumatic Stress and its consequences in the war-torn country of Sudan.
We plan to pursue this purpose in particular by promoting the psychotherapy method Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) according to Francine Shapiro in practice and research.
The association pursues its goals by:
- Planning, promotion and coordination of education and training in EMDR, first in neighboring countries and later in Sudan
- Development, definition and dissemination of high quality standards in education and training, application and research of EMDR
- To stimulate and promote scientific research in the field of EMDR
- Provision of information on scientific papers and research reports, conferences and lectures
- Journalistic activity on mental health and EMDR
- Cooperation and exchange with other EMDR associations in Africa, Europe, the Middle East (MENA) and worldwide.
