Synopsis

The EMDR Treatment Manual is the first book to fully and clearly operationalize the clinical use of EMDR. It provides straightforward, concise treatment guidelines for practicing clinicians, supervisors, clinic directors, and hospital administrators. For researchers conducting treatment outcome studies, it provides manualized treatment guidelines and a fidelity checklist consistent with Francine Shapiro's standard reference text. ""The EMDR Treatment Manual"" provides a clear foundation for understanding the adaptive information processing model of Francine Shapiro. It does so by summarizing key concepts and terminology developed by scholars whose work preceded that of Dr. Shapiro and by integrating the research on EMDR relevant to the AIP model. In this way the book builds a conceptual bridge between the world of behavioral and cognitive therapies and the new neuroaffective paradigm implicit in the work of Francine Shapiro.
