Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures

From Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) originator Francine Shapiro, this groundbreaking, evidence-based work has been translated into multiple languages. Originally developed for treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR therapy is now also used to treat adults and children with complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, addictive behavior problems, and other clinical problems. The third edition reviews the therapy's theoretical and empirical underpinnings, details the eight phases of treatment, and provides vignettes, training materials, and resources. Vivid therapist–client dialogues are engagingly read by multiple narrators.

EMDR therapy is recognized as a best practice for the treatment of PTSD by the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, the World Health Organization, the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, and other health care associations/institutes around the world.
