This book shows therapists how to integrate EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) into the treatment so that adults who have been abused as children clear their trauma more rapidly, escape falling into the victim mentality, and proceed to lead full, productive lives. For therapists already familiar with EMDR, it covers the primary treatment issues and symptomatology of these clients and specific alterations of the standard EMDR protocol. For therapists experienced with treating abuse survivors, it introduces a safe and effective way to process trauma.
This text is part of the revolution in treatment of PTSD and resulting disorders (depression, anxiety). This text is aimed at therapists treating clients but is so readable and clear anyone can benefit. There is a wealth of understanding here.
