Handbook of EMDR and Family Therapy Processes

As a county employee and licensed clinician who has been using EMDR for the past 4 years this book has been a valuable tool. The clients I see cover a wide spectrum of not only diagnosies but severity as well.This book has helped me in looking for the avenues that allow the use of EMDR treatment. So far it has been my experience that this treatment has produced significant results in my clients.Prior to the publication and my having read the book I often had to rely on my instincts and colleges outside of my county position as I have been the only person with the level II training and even attempting to use it at all. After reading the book I know I have another tool that I can instantly referance during difficult cases.

As the scientific investigation into EMDR proceeds (at this writing, more neurophysiological research - SPECT scans, EEGs, QEEGs, MRI, fMRI, autonomic - demonstrating EMDR's efficacy in the treatment of PTSD exists than all other empirically-validated psychotherapies for PTSD combined), we are seeing the extension of the EMDR methodology into areas beyond "capital T" trauma. While the hottest topic areas beyond PTSD appear to be children, substance abuse, and families, it has been remarkable that there has not been a book about the possible uses of EMDR with families (there are a half dozen on children). While the contributions to this edited work are generally very good to excellent, this is not the same as a book on family therapy that might be written by, for example, Dr. Shapiro - hence the lack of a fifth star. A single author generally focuses in greater depth when presenting the application of a psychotherapy to a "new" population or problem area and might cover the variations shown to be effective for dealing with particular issues. An edited work, on the other hand, may cover a broad range of topics but often lacks the depth. This book suffers a bit from the lack of depth and coherency a single author (or authors) might provide. Having said that, this is, nonetheless, a very good book for EMDR-trained therapists (or those who are considering the training) who have a particular interest in family therapy. Most of the expected issues encountered when utilizing an individual therapy within a family treatment context are addressed and done so in a readily understandable fashion. Obviously, a background in EMDR is necessary, particularly in Dr. Shapiro's model of EMDR - this has to be said with so many variations of EMDR being sold. I think some of my appreciation of this book comes from my background in family systems therapy training and twenty years of using EMDR. This book is helping to fill a major gap in the professional literature of EMDR.
