EMDR has become an important tool in the use of treating trauma. As therapists have worked with this methodology, EMDR has been used in many different areas of human suffering such as addictions, anxiety, pain, dissociative disorders and many other issues. This book grew out of a need for therapists to have a place to access the full protocols, including the psat, present and future templates as well as any auxiliary information. The book sets forth a template for therapists and researchers to use for reliability so that the form of working in EMDR idiom is consistent. Written in an easy-to-use manual style, the book is replete with detailed techniques, exercises, and scripts as developed by recognized EMDR experts.
