Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy Third Edition, ISBN 9781462532766

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Third Edition by Francine Shapiro is the definitive and essential guide for mastering EMDR therapy. This authoritative textbook consolidates decades of research, expanded clinical protocols, and practical resources, making it a must-have for therapists, trainers, and university programs.

Key Features:

• Grounded in Evidence-Based Practice – Shapiro, the founder of EMDR, presents the therapy’s theoretical and empirical basis, along with the standard eight-phase treatment model.

• Expanded Research and Protocols – Includes over 15 years of updates on clinical findings and neurophysiological evidence, alongside new and refined therapeutic procedures.

• Broadened Clinical Applicability – Addresses treatment for complex trauma, addictions, moral injury, pain, depression, and post-disaster response.

• Rich Clinical Tools – Offers vivid case vignettes, session transcripts, reproducible forms, clinical aids, and fidelity assessment tools to facilitate effective therapy.

• Globally Endorsed – Recognized as a best-practice therapy by leading organizations including the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense, WHO, NICE, and more.

Who Should Use It:

• EMDR Trainees & Practitioners – A core resource for ongoing training and fidelity in EMDR practice.

• Mental Health Professionals – Ideal for therapists treating PTSD, trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction.

• Educators & Program Directors – A foundational textbook for graduate training programs in trauma and psychotherapy.

Why This Edition Stands Out:

This expanded Third Edition elevates EMDR’s status as a trauma treatment by combining compassionate, client-centered practice with rigorous research and refined clinical tools—reinforcing its role as a transformative therapy in both training and therapeutic contexts.
