Hi All- First: Happy New Year!
Second: I just had a call from a psychiatrist friend of mine who is doing an Independent Medical Exam (IME) on a patient who is claiming severe post traumatic stress disorder. The patient is being "treated" by Dr. Paul Swingle (http://www.swingleandassociates.com/) using "Observed & Experiential Integration Therapy". A search of PsychAbstracts turned up no useful hits in the literature. A Google search, however yielded a number of hits such as the following: https://www.sightpsych.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97&Itemid=57 On their web site they provide a list of "publications" which may be found here: https://www.sightpsych.com/downloads/final_report_to_fahs_beck_foundation_extended_thru_feb_2010.pdf None of which, of course, are in mainstream peer-reviewed journals. So my questions are: Has anyone else heard about this "therapy"? Does it have any standing within the clinical community? Any help that you can provide on this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, -Don. Don Allen Retired professor Langara College --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
