This groundbreaking book, now expanded and revised, provides an authoritative overview of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and has been translated into ten languages. Initially developed to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR is now used to address complex trauma in adults and children, anxiety disorders, depression, addictive behavior, and other clinical issues. Francine Shapiro, the creator of EMDR, explains the eight stages of treatment, explores the theoretical and empirical foundations of the therapy, and offers extensive resources and training materials. The book includes transcripts, printable forms, and vivid vignettes. Customers who purchase the book receive a link to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2″ x 11″ format.
