EMDR Therapy is a psychotherapy approach based on standard procedures and protocols. This book, using EMDR Therapy's standard procedures and protocols as its template, presents step-by-step scripts that enable new practitioners and seasoned EMDR clinicians, trainers, and consultants alike to incorporate EMDR Therapy into their case conceptualizations and treatment plans while working with patients who have issues related to trauma, anxiety, and mood-related conditions. These scripts, which can be put to use immediately, retain the complete integrity of EMDR Therapy by presenting the three-prong protocol (past memories, present triggers, and future templates) and the 11-step procedure essential to the standard practice of EMDR Therapy.
This book is also available as a CD-ROM. The book covers the use of EMDR Therapy with anxiety, trauma, anxiety and mood-related conditions ranging from Trauma and Stress-Related Disorders (such as Reactive Attachment Disorder, PTSD, etc.), Anxiety Disorders (such as Specific Phobia, Panic Disorder, etc.), Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders (such as OCD and Hoarding Behaviors, etc.) to Mood-Related Disorders (such as Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, etc.), and Self-Care for Clinicians. This text includes summary sheets for each protocol to facilitate the gathering of requisite information and to documenting it in the client's chart in a consistent format. This facilitates quick retrieval of the essential issues and components needed by clinicians to create appropriate treatment plans.
