Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) is a unique, empirically validated approach that is recommended by the World Health Organization as a "first line treatment for post traumatic stress disorder in adults."

EMDR therapy emphasizes working with imagery, cognitions, emotions, somatic sensations, and behavior linked to a disturbing memory, as well as attending to past, current, and future-oriented experiential contributors. Unlike many psychotherapeutic treatments, EMDR does not require prolonged exposure, the direct challenging of beliefs, or numerous sessions to achieve results.

In this book, Dr. Shapiro, the originator of this approach, and Dr. Russell, her longtime colleague and collaborator, describe their work and the significant controversy that attended its rise due to EMDR's challenging of traditional cognitive behavioral approaches to psychotherapy and mechanisms of change.

The authors describe the theory of EMDR, provide the complete EMDR therapeutic protocol, the evidence base that supports it, and examine practical issues and common challenges related to implementing EMDR in clinical practice.

Industry Reviews
This delightfully concise book offers a highly readable and scholarly overview of the history, theory, cultural adaptations, and standard procedures for all eight phases of the EMDR approach to psychotherapy. Russell and Shapiro touch on controversies involving skeptics, the overly zealous, and proprietary professional associations with careful discussions of what the research illuminates and still needs to examine, along with practical suggestions for the future. -- Andrew M. Leeds, PhD, Director of Training, Sonoma Psychotherapy Training Institute, Santa Rosa, CA
