Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures, Third Edition (2017) by Francine Shapiro PhD is the authoritative presentation of EMDR therapy from the originator of the method herself. Now revised and expanded with more than 225,000 copies in print and translated into multiple languages, this groundbreaking text remains the standard reference in the field.
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 presentations. Dr. Shapiro reviews the therapy's theoretical and empirical underpinnings, details the eight phases of EMDR treatment, and provides comprehensive training materials and resources. The book includes vivid clinical vignettes, verbatim transcripts, and reproducible forms in a convenient 8½ × 11-inch size.
New to this edition: over 15 years of important advances in therapy and research, including findings from clinical and neurophysiological studies; new and revised protocols and procedures; additional applications including complex trauma, addictions, pain, depression, and moral injury; post-disaster response protocols; and appendices with session transcripts, clinical aids, and tools for assessing treatment fidelity and outcomes.
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, and the World Health Organization.
Topics covered: the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model; the eight phases — history and treatment planning, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation; standard and specialized protocols; working with children, complex trauma survivors, first responders, and combat veterans; managing dissociation and abreactions; cognitive interweaves; integration with other therapy modalities; and clinical supervision.
Essential for: psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, EMDRIA-approved basic and advanced training participants, trauma-focused therapists, veterans and military mental health providers, and clinicians preparing for EMDRIA certification or Consultant designation.
