Description
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.

The third edition has been some time in coming – since the second in 2001, we’ve seen ongoing research into EMDR as a psychotherapy and fascinating studies of the eye movements Shapiro posited as facilitating a neurological processing of unresolved experiences, more international and national agencies evaluating that research and determining EMDR is an effective therapy in the treatment of psychological trauma, and the continuous exploration of EMDR’s with other conditions. Yet the fundamental principles, protocols and procedures remain largely unchanged – given EMDR’s success before the presentation of the Second Edition, there is no surprise in this. What the Third Edition brings is more: more clarity, more experience, more research, more applications, and, the continuous thread from the beginning, more compassion. Clinicians familiar with the earlier editions will find that “more” amplifying and clarifying their use of EMDR and providing a solid, well established center to their work. Shapiro’s continuous insistence on empiricism, a position she still maintains, resulted in stability through the sometimes rough rapids of a paradigm shift in psychotherapy and this volume is the best expression of that shift. For clinicians just coming across EMDR and wondering what this is all about, maintain a healthy skepticism, read the book and get trained in the methodology, and try it with your clients. For these clinicians, “Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing” (3rd. ed.) maintains what was best in the first two editions – an invitation to learn this powerful therapy, one that makes use of their clients’ own ability to heal.

Well overdue updates to the 3rd edition. I’m glad to see Dr. Shapiro has began to consider other clinicians’ opinions and uses for the therapy she founded.

Helpful for clinicians going through EMDR training.
Nicole S. (verified owner) –
This book is super dense and kind of difficult to get through. But it was necessary to read before I attended the training. I did learn quite a bit, just give yourself time to get through it.

Niccit (verified owner) –
I love using EMDR thus far. So different from talk therapy but an additional tool in my toolbox that really helps some clients. I’m a substance use disorder specialist and I don’t like the outdated language of substance abuse (DSM IV language- stigmatizing) used in this text. Otherwise I love it!
Miro (verified owner) –
As expected
Tracie (verified owner) –
useful for work
Ekaterina Vishniakova (verified owner) –
…and this book is a roadmap to this better life, where we ourselves, our children, our parents, our siblings… and even our pets are happier. EMDS makes it possible because when we change for the better we make life better for everyone around us. I love the book and I am forever grateful to the author. I am already experiencing change and wish everyone could understand how much they would benefit from EMDR.

Kelty Hawley (verified owner) –
This text has very essential information for a clinician being trained in EMDR. However, the paper is so thin the readability is altered. You see the writing showing through from the back of the page you are trying to read. Please consider a less translucent paper for future printings.
