Translation in English:
“In May 2018 I discovered my ideal practice space on the first floor of Rapenburg 34. It was love at first sight, with a fantastic view of the Academy Building. Little did I imagine which historical celebrities the building had housed: Abraham Elsevier and his sons of the academic printing family; Daniël van Ceulen who was a law professor and lawyer at the Court of Holland; professor of medicine Charles Drélincourt, also court physician to Louis XIV and consulting physician to King-Stadholder William III and Maria Stuart. Plus a handful of other celebrities. Their spirits maintain the good atmosphere praised by all guests.”

We’re facing an-every-6-months-goodbye to our interns Zsuzsanna Nagy and Philip Corsi who we will miss in another two weeks since they became part of the team. We thank them for their great contributions to our team. We will welcome Romi Essel from Israel and Nikki Meijer (Dutch) per March 1st.

December 24th, 2023

We wish all readers happy holidays and a healthy 2024 that may help you realise your dreams!
Summarising 2023 we managed to survive despite challenges of sorts and increase the effectiveness of our honeycomb way of working and with great patient- and team satisfaction. We saw a population with backgrounds from all over the world and locally who had mostly complex issues to deal with and sometimes a few relatively simple issues. All those met inspired us through their being and sharing of innermost thoughts and emotions and they sparked our passion to do even better and increase our skills and knowledge of psychotherapy. We feel enriched and grateful for our patients for sharing. The municipality of Holland Rijnland calculated our treatment trajectories to be half the time than average compared to all other care providers and with half the amount of money and less than average number of treatment days over the past two years. Our own analysis showed that we spent on average only 13 months treatment time over the past 6 years on youth and adults together, including some treatments that took several years. We had no external or internal waiting list during the past 7 years. We aim to research and publish about our findings from different perspectives in 2024!

Besides we participated at international conferences as a team (IACAPAP, AACAP, ESCAP) and published several articles in (inter)national peer reviewed journals.
Within our team Giulia Iozzia is heading for her BIG-registration as a (health) GZ-psychologist as a recognition from her Italian license (an extremely bureaucratic process, almost there) and trained in CBT and MBT-A (adolescent and adult) and Carien Gelderblom got her BAD formalised. Inês Sabino da Costa, a former intern, joined the team and is getting her CBT basic course signed off and improving her Dutch. Khatun Mirsujan and Marie-Jose van Hoof trained in EMDR, (kid)NET and MBT (child, family, adolescent, adult). Carla Engele, parent management guide, PMTO-trainer, and in training for system therapist provided PMTO to several families. Dr. Mariel Meewisse, clinical psychologist, continued to provide monthly consultation in our team. She and Willem Guijt, psychiatrist, watched over patients and team during the past summer holidays. Nicole Muller, psychotherapist/MBT trainer provided MBT supervision and education together with colleagues among whom Masja Juffermans at Centrum Hecht. Anja Koster, clinical psychologist, provided EMDR supervision. Colleagues from ARQ provided NET and other trauma-related courses. Agnes Ligeon, child- and adolescent psychiatrist, is to retire per 2024 and left us her budget for which we are very grateful. We will miss her as a skilled, knowledgeable, dedicated colleague who watched over our patients summer 2022 and pioneered independently for over 20 years in Leiden, but of course grant her with new horizons to discover at her advanced age. Gijs Van der Zalm, system therapist/mediator and clinical psychologist/psychotherapist in rest, also in an advanced age, formally said goodbye but we can still collaborate and get consultation fortunately. We also thank our ICT-supporters, Happy Apples and e-clicker, for putting out all ICT-fires that burnt during the year and providing us with a safe digital environment to work in. We thank Vermetten accountants for supporting us throughout.

Also we had 4 (international and local) master students from Leiden University and Utrecht University that partook in our team and got their master and BAPD, the latter giving access with a LOGO to further postmaster training in psychology and/or orthopedagogy. We aim to collaborate with larger parties to provide postmaster training to become a GZ-psychologist, psychotherapist and a clinical psychologist as well.

For 2024 we have expanded our team with very skilled colleagues who we welcome: Trees van der Voorden, Masja Juffermans, Bahar Farshchi Jamshidabady, René Cané Molinari and dr. Mariel Meewisse. We hope to provide you with even more tailor-made and efficient care doing so.

Season’s greetings from the iMindU GGZ team!

Today Marie-Jose van Hoof was an invited speaker at the symposium ‘Leer beter kijken naar kindermishandeling’ [Have a closer look at child abuse] at the Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis in Delft, presenting on why it is important for medical specialists and paramedics who treat physical complaints to know whether someone had adverse childhood events or experiences violence and how to deal with it. [Waarom is het voor professionals die lichamelijke klachten behandelen belangrijk te weten of iemand nare jeugdervaringen heeft of geweld meemaakt? En hoe hiermee om te gaan?].

October 31st, 2023

Today the municipality Holland Rijnland (Leiden e.o.) presented us with fantastic news about our performance over the past two years since we were contracted for specialised youth mental health care.The trajectories we offered were half the length compared to the average length of trajectories offered by all other care providers in the municipality and they costed half the amount of money and the number of days spent on treatment were below the average number of days spent by all other care providers.This combined with no waiting list during the past 6 years, our practice being based on scientific evidence and insights, Sustainable Development Goals, high quality standards from NVvP and HKZ, the therapeutic relationship, a certain, green, way of working, highly specialised, multidisciplinary therapy also for non-Dutch speaking patients, usually with complex problems/psychopathology, collaboration with universities to provide internships for master students in psychology and orthopedagogy and high patient ánd employee satisfaction we are proud of our joint effort and hard work during the past 6 years to accomplish this result as a team.

Since we work the same way for adults we’re convinced the same goes for them and insist that health insurance contract us for reasonable tariffs (=NZa tariff) for the benefit of patients despite us being small. CZ/Ohra/Nationale Nederlanden and DSW/StadHolland offered a contract for 2024. Since 2022 there is an RMO/RMA contract for asylum seekers and displaced persons and we recently got an agreement with CAK for non or not well enough insured patients.

Also our results from the specialised mental health care for youth show that Zorgvraagtypering is not necessary to provide excellent care without waiting list. Hopefully AKWA, Health care insurance companies, Zorgverzekeraars Nederland, NZa and the Ministry VWS want to have a close look at it by offering sponsoring for a pilot project and further research. We are describing our way of working in an article and would like to get it invested further for the benefit of all.

Our article on Structural Equation Modeling of treatment-related changes in neural connectivity for youth with PTSD is in press at the Journal of Affective Disorders, see https://lnkd.in/eir-_Tg4

fMRI before and after 16 weeks of TF-CBT in n=20 youth with PTSD and the same number of health controls. The applied SEM showed greater connectivity in the PTSD group than HC at baseline. From pre- to post-treatment, connectivity in the paths from dorsal cingulate to both anterior and posterior cingulate decreased significantly in the PTSD group, as did connectivity from right hippocampus to left superior temporal gyrus. This suggests a central role for the dorsal cingulate cortex in PTSD symptoms as the source of modulation of anterior and posterior cingulate cortex during TF-CBT.

December 8th, 2022

It is a great privilege to mentor the Donald J. Cohen Fellowship Program again, this time in Dubai. The value of meeting face-to-face on personal leadership, mental health service setup and research skills with early career child psychiatrists from mostly low and middle income countries is obvious.
Empowering each other is easier on the job without an interfering screen. The challenges facing the fellows are tremendous regarding getting funding, getting access to resources like self-help guidelines and facilities to build capacity within a system that doesn’t sustain child psychiatry. We’ll set up a consultation possibility for those fellows wishing to get a listening ear or advise on their cases and difficulties. This way the experience of this week can grow roots during time.

November 25, 2022 – No internship openings till March 2024

Trees4Peace

For each patient we have a tree planted in the Balfour Forest east of Nazareth, Israel (see https://www.jnf.nl/loterij/?t=lees-meer-over-het-project, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWfPO4GfWwg&t=18s). In this forest communities with a mix of mainly Jewish, Muslim, and Christian backgrounds collaborate in reviving the forest that has been impacted by illness of trees and fires, along the way also improving their mutual understanding and social cohesion across communities, as a microcosmos example of peaceful dialogue and living.

Since iMindU will exist 5 years upcoming November 21st 2021, we will double the number of trees for patients treated so far by then. See also https://www.jnf.org or https://www.jnf.nl

The cycle of abuse and loss

How come adverse experiences like child abuse and neglect and/or sexual abuse and consequences of loss in families seem to be transmitted from generation to generation?

Hoe komt het dat er vaak van generatie op generatie nare ervaringen, zoals kindermishandeling, verwaarlozing en/of seksueel misbruik en gevolgen van verlies, in families lijken te worden doorgegeven?

Downpour Resurfacing – Nederlands from Frances on Vimeo.

Downpour Resurfacing tracesRobert Hall’s rekindling sense of self and strength, despite the childhood sexual and physical abuses that he recounts. As Robert navigates the repercussions of abuse on slf esteem, images and sounds lead into the somatic dream world, into realms not verbal, where the traumas take hold. The senses of disconnection and double life that develops from hidden trauma echoes through an allegorical montage of found footage and new film collaged and overlapped, slowed and sped, like memories under duress. A tea master pours, cleans, offers: church windows and laundry, mother and son, tea and sustenance, care takers and breakers, home. Breaking down memory blocks and denial spurs the need to find peace with abuse. Dancers communicate in movement and rhythms the trauma and its thawing as bodies hold and release it. Where grief and hatred might otherwise take root, Robert speaks without shame from personal experience, illuminating peace-making responses to intrusion and betrayal of all kinds.

“Brilliant, thoughtful, and heartrending – Downpour Resufacing offers a tearing story of drama and the healing rein of wisdom.” – Jack Kornfield, Author of A Path with Heart
~~~

Dr. Robert Hall vertelt mild over het seksueel en fysiek misbruik in zijn jeugd. Daarmee laat hij zien hoe hij de repercussies ervan heeft omgezet in een leven van vertrouwen en vrede. Hall biedt emotionele wijsheid en analytische duidelijkheid uit zijn persoonlijke en professionele ervaring van tientallen jaren. Hij inspireert tot hoop in overlevenden van misbruik en andere slachtoffers van trauma’s. De complexe, lyrische beelden brengen het verhaal krachtig over zoals dromen, en weerspiegelen Hall’s erfgoed en innovatie in lichaamstherapie.

De ondertiteling is verzorgd en gesponsord door iMindU (www.imindu.nl) in samenwerking met het Taleninstituut van de Universiteit Leiden.
