Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy / 3rd Edition by Francine Shapiro

This is the source text, written by the clinician who developed the method. Francine Shapiro’s Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy sets out the Adaptive Information Processing model and the full eight-phase protocol in the detail a practitioner needs to work from, not a summary of it. The third edition is the one most training programmes and consultation groups reference.

What the book covers

• The Adaptive Information Processing model and the reasoning behind bilateral stimulation
• All eight phases, from history-taking and preparation through reprocessing to reevaluation
• Target selection, the three-pronged protocol, and building treatment plans that hold
• Cognitive interweaves and what to do when processing stalls or loops
• Working with complex trauma, dissociation, grief, phobias, and combat-related presentations
• Client stabilisation and safety before reprocessing begins

Who it’s for

Licensed therapists in or approaching EMDR training, trauma-focused clinicians, and graduate students in clinical psychology, counseling, or social work. Assumes clinical training; it is a practitioner’s manual rather than a self-help book.
