The just-completed three-day EMDR seminar "Introduction to Treatment of Trauma Related Dissociation with EMDR Therapy" was intended for participants who had previously successfully completed EMDR level 1 and level 2 education (basic level), and dealt with the theory of structural personality dissociation to enable participants understanding the clinical phenomena and symptoms that accompany severe traumatization.

It was held in Insula - County Hospital for Psychiatry and Rehabilitation, which already has a dozen experts with EMDR education at both basic levels (level 1 + 2) and where successful treatment programs that, along with other psychotherapeutic approaches, include this complementary technique. The just completed level 1 education motivated psychotherapists to respond in the largest number so far, which is an indicator that EMDR psychotherapy technique is gaining more and more recognition in Croatia.
