The authoritative presentation of Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, this groundbreaking book--now revised and
expanded--has been translated into 10 languages. Originally developed
for treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this
evidence-based approach is now also used to treat adults and children
with complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, addictive behavior
problems, and other clinical problems. EMDR originator Francine Shapiro
reviews the therapy's theoretical and empirical underpinnings, details
the eight phases of treatment, and provides training materials and
resources. Vivid vignettes, transcripts, and reproducible forms are
included. Purchasers get access to a webpage where they can download and
print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
