SynopsisA Therapist's Guide to EMDR reviews the theoretical basis for EMDR and presents new information on the neurobiology of trauma. It provides a detailed explanation of the procedural steps along with helpful suggestions and modifications., Areas essential to successful utilization of EMDR are emphasized. These include: case conceptualization; preparation for EMDR trauma processing, including resource development and installation; target development; methods for unblocking blocked processing, including the creative use of interweaves; and session closure. Case examples are used throughout to illustrate concepts. The emphasis in this book is on clinical usefulness, not research. This book goes into the therapy room with clinicians who actually use EMDR, and shows readers how to do it in practice, not just in theory. In short, this is the new, practical book on EMDR., Practice essentials from a leading EMDR trainer and practitioner. With an emphasis on clinical usefulness rather than research, this book provides practitioners of eye movement desensitization and reprocessesing (EMDR) with a hands-on guide to this essential therapy. Reviewing basic concepts (such as interviewing and case formulation) as well as providing advanced strategies (such as closing incomplete sessions), this is a book for all EMDR clinicians.
