Beth

Excellent book for EMDR therapists。 It goes over everything I learned in my EMDR trainings to become certified。 Francine Shapiro goes even further into the techniques adding more information to my toolbox for using the different ways to use EMDR。

Raychel

Great manual for preparing to learn how to administer EMDR。 I found the book to be very redundant, but it’s full of great research and is an excellent foundation for training。 It inspired me and got me really looking forward to my EMDR training!

Kharlanov Sergey

Тяжеловатая книга, написана непростым языком。 Но на практике - очень простая вещь (когда ты пациент) и результаты просто удивительные。 Прочитал из любопытства, захотелось понять насколько все это серьезно и почему оно так происходит。 С первым вопросом разобрался: вроде бы все весьма серьезно。 А вот как это работает, даже сам автор в конце написал, что мозг штука темная и пока что ниче непонятно )

I just got trained in EMDR and love it, but this book was painful to get through。 Very dry。 I have read others that were much easier to read and more engaging。 I love the model but think the book could have been more user friendly。

Is trauma a cultural construct? (Not that I think it is, although we’re told that everything else is。)One might argue (not that I do, but one might) that there is a coddling, an infantilizing, implicit not just in Shapiro’s method but in all of psychotherapy。 It must be necessary (one might say) given the milieu in which we live—(as some not doubt wrongly allege) one that seems to fetishize trauma and celebrate victimhood—but it’s seems unlikely that there was a need for psychotherapist in, say, Is trauma a cultural construct?

Thank god for Shapiro! Imagine leaving a legacy like this behind。 So excited to be learning this technique and very glad I put the time into reading the entire manual。 I’m sure I will frequently be referring back to it。

This is the textbook used for EMDR trainings today。 I wish it had been around when I did my basic training seven years ago。 It's written in language that is easy to understand, even for those that haven't completed the training yet。 It is also well-organized and serves as an accessible reference for various client scenarios。 This is the textbook used for EMDR trainings today。 I wish it had been around when I did my basic training seven years ago。 It's written in language that is easy to understand, even for those that haven't completed the training yet。 It is also well-organized and serves as an accessible reference for various client scenarios。 。。。more

Francine Shapiro was such an incredible woman。 Who else would take a walk in the park and, upon discovering feeling relief after some sweeping eye movements, would think to explore and discover the full use and benefits of something most people would write off as pure happenstance??This book is an excellent and comprehensive manual for the use of EMDR。 Granted, EMDR is complex in many ways, but this book helps unfold the many questions and uncertainties one would have about the modality。 I would Francine Shapiro was such an incredible woman。 Who else would take a walk in the park and, upon discovering feeling relief after some sweeping eye movements, would think to explore and discover the full use and benefits of something most people would write off as pure happenstance??This book is an excellent and comprehensive manual for the use of EMDR。 Granted, EMDR is complex in many ways, but this book helps unfold the many questions and uncertainties one would have about the modality。 I would highly recommend any mental health professional be trained in EMDR, as it is an absolute game changer。 。。。more

The information provided is important and invaluable for clinicians。 I took a lot away from it to add to what I learned in training and even created some clinical aids for myself based on the information。 However, it is written as a textbook: dry and slow。 I’m glad I can just use it as a reference point now。

My therapist lent me a copy of this to learn about EMDR。 Though this isn't written for the layperson, i was able to get enough insight and understanding about this modality to enhance the work i was doing in sessions。 My therapist lent me a copy of this to learn about EMDR。 Though this isn't written for the layperson, i was able to get enough insight and understanding about this modality to enhance the work i was doing in sessions。 。。。more

Read up to Chapter 8, required reading for Part I of the training。 Textbook reading, pretty repetitive and dry, as expected。

I was trained in EMDR in its infancy。。 this book reveals hiw refined the technique has become and its helpful to see the advances snd uts succesful use for far more than trauma。 i found it highly successful in my practice。

Fantastic!! It's all here。 The detail is great。 I loved the scripts and the cohesion of the theory。 Fantastic!! It's all here。 The detail is great。 I loved the scripts and the cohesion of the theory。 。。。more

I read this book slowly as part of a training requirement。 It is very much a manual, textbook type book so be prepared for dense material。 At times it feels repetitive or that fewer words could have made the point just as strongly。 Recommend as a precursor to training because it allows you to become familiar with the information so you are not as overwhelmed with the information。

Ashlyn Burns

This book is geared toward professionals receiving emdria approved trainings in EMDR。 For that reason, the language in this book is clinical in nature。 However, if you are a client interested in understanding more in depth how the EMDR process works, I could see how this book could benefit that understanding。 Shapiro makes it clear that no professional should practice EMDR without approved training。

Julian Meynell

This is an interesting work that I read not as a potential practitioner but as someone who intends to use EMDR。 I find it interesting not to read works for the public, which I expect to be full of inspiring stories but the ones for practitioners where the unvarnished information is。 Anyway, that is my perspective and it will not be the perspective of most people who read this book。 The book is a reference for practitioners primarily, but also a resource for research psychologists。 Despite this I This is an interesting work that I read not as a potential practitioner but as someone who intends to use EMDR。 I find it interesting not to read works for the public, which I expect to be full of inspiring stories but the ones for practitioners where the unvarnished information is。 Anyway, that is my perspective and it will not be the perspective of most people who read this book。 The book is a reference for practitioners primarily, but also a resource for research psychologists。 Despite this I found it easy to understand, although I am highly educated。 It is a bit dry, but I don't think of that as a real criticism。There are a few problems with it, that I noticed。 While it set some of my fears at rest, it did not set all of them by a long way。 That's relevant because some of what it is trying to do is to teach practitioners to ease the fears of clients, so if my fears were not addressed then it provides no guidance to practitioners about fears like mine。 I also found some of the claims for the effectiveness of the treatment somewhat unbelievable。 Also, I note in passing that at least some of the appeal of EMDR is how quick it is and it is worth noting that part of what accounts for its spread is the cheapness of the treatment。 None-the-less I intend to under go the treatment because it does make some sense to me and is on point for PTSD and what it is really like and because I would cut off my own legs if it would make my symptoms subside。 However, from the perspective of a sufferer of PTSD this is an absolutely terrifying treatment to contemplate。Overall good, so far as I could tell as a non-practitioner。 。。。more

Interesting and good information, but very dry and scholastic。 Definitely need it as a reference though。

Rachel

Very scientific and a lot to read。 I needed to break it up in sections。 Well written and a how to to perform this type of therapy。 Gives the basic information, history, process, groups to work with。 A wealth of information, and a great starting point。

Mary Kate

Read most of it。 Very clear and helpful guide - would still need consultation and training to practice, though。

Amy Morgan

High ranking because it’s a seminal work。

Amber Robinson

educational for sure。 helpful for therapists。 used as reference often in therapy

Mary

Excellent content, clunky academic writing。

This is "the book" of course, for clinicians doing EMDR, written by the person who actually invented the technique。 Lots here to study and re-read, lots here to skip too。 Probably the most important sections for those who have had basic training are those on the cognitive interweaves and the basic process。 Personally, I found the theoretical section on research really cool, since there is so much speculation on just why EMDR is so damn effective and I enjoyed the exploration。 This is "the book" of course, for clinicians doing EMDR, written by the person who actually invented the technique。 Lots here to study and re-read, lots here to skip too。 Probably the most important sections for those who have had basic training are those on the cognitive interweaves and the basic process。 Personally, I found the theoretical section on research really cool, since there is so much speculation on just why EMDR is so damn effective and I enjoyed the exploration。 。。。more

Very interesting information and great for someone just learning EMDR。
