A Therapist's Guide to EMDR: Tools and Techniques for Successful Treatment

By Laurel Parnell

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Best EMDR book out there

I love this book and reference it often. It is easy to read, but very helpful in understanding EMDR at a deeper level and how/when to use it and prepare clients. I would highly recommend this to any EMDR therapist, especially those working with highly traumatized clients.

Another "must have" by Laurel Parnell

This is a clear and very readable text. While basic in some ways, it is a solid, helpful, elucidating guidebook, even for more advanced practitioners. Thank you once again, Laurel. I will continue to use it as a reference in my EMDR work, most happily, and will recommend it to my colleagues.

essential

for the EMDR therapist, no matter what level of experience!!!!!
