EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND REPROCESSING
Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures, 2nd Edition
Francine Shapiro
Guilford Publications, 2001
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After reading this book, the reader will be able to understand: the research and development of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing); theoretical constructs and possible underlying mechanisms; and protocols and procedures for treatment of adults and children with a range of presenting complaints.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an innovative clinical treatment for victims of trauma. It is now the most extensively researched treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. EMDR is an integrated model that draws from behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, bodybased, and systems therapies. EMDR provides profound and stable treatment effects in a short period of time. Comprising an eight phase treatment that includes the use of eye movements or other left-right stimulation, EMDR helps victims of trauma reprocess disturbing thoughts and memories. Although current knowledge of neurobiology does not provide a definitive explanation, a number of physiological studies are being carried out and theoretical suggestions have been put forth that link its effects to REM sleep, dual attention, and/or cerebral hemispheric involvement.
Francine Shapiro, Ph.D, the originator of EMDR, is Senior Research Fellow at the Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, California. She is a member of the Editorial Advisor Board of TREATING ABUSE TODAY and the JOURNAL OF TRAUMATOLOGY, and previously has served in the Editorial Advisory Group for the JOURNAL OF TRAUMATIC STRESS.
