Lanius Ulrich F. - Neurobiology and Treatment of Traumatic Dissociation

Ulrich F. Lanius, PhD, is a registered psychologist in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with a practice in clinical and neuropsychology. He has a particular interest in brainbehavior relationships with regard to attachment, trauma, and dissociation. His training includes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR; EMDR Institute facilitator and EMDRIA-approved consultant), sensorimotor psychotherapy, as well as neurofeedback. He specializes in the treatment of trauma and attachment-related problems, working from a client-centered perspective, integrating EMDR, body therapy, ego state interventions, and neurotherapy. He has presented in North America as well as internationally, and has authored and coauthored a variety of book chapters and articles on both the treatment and the neurobiology of dissociation.

Sandra L. Paulsen, PhD, is the author of Looking Through the Eyes of Trauma and Dissociation: An Illustrated Guide for EMDR Therapists and Clients, and is a fellow of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. She was invited faculty at the First and Third World Congresses of Ego State Therapy in Germany, 2003, and South Africa, 2010, and the Japan EMDR Conference, 2010, and was Masters Series Lecturer at the EMDRIA conference in Toronto, 2004. She wrote chapters in Corsinis Encyclopedia of Psychology, Handbook of Innovative Psychotherapy; in Neukrugs Encyclopedia of Theory in Counseling and Psychotherapy; in Shapiros EMDR Solutions II; in Forgashs Healing the Heart of Trauma and Dissociation with EMDR and Ego State Therapy (Springer Publishing Company, 2007); and in Lubers EMDR Scripted Protocols (Springer Publishing Company, 2009). She collaborated with John G. Watkins, originator of ego state therapy, and with Katie OShea, originator of the early trauma protocol of EMDR. She was Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Hawaii; and Acting Chief Psychologist at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu. She now lives on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, specializing in intensive treatment for early trauma and attachment injuries.

Frank M. Corrigan, MD, is a consultant psychiatrist in Argyll, Scotland. Formerly full time, he now works part time in trauma therapy in Argyll and privately in Glasgow and at Manor Hall, Doune. His encounters in general psychiatry with the effects on suicidality of early trauma led to training in dialectical behavior therapy, clinical hypnosis, EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and, most recently, brainspotting. He has an interest in understanding the impact of trauma on clinical presentations through awareness of laboratory work on stress and trauma and how this can be integrated with neuroscientific enquiry in humans.
