EMDR Up Close

Book excerpt: EMDR Up Close. provides a rare opportunity to get inside the mind of a talented and experienced EMDR therapist as he works with both straightforward and complex therapeutic challenges. Dr. Manfield provides verbatim transcripts with commentary at each choice point that explains why he chooses to use one intervention over another, what cues he is attending to, and what language he employs for his interventions. This book would be valuable for both beginning and seasoned EMDR therapists. It will assist newly trained therapists in developing their capacity to understand how to handle the challenges that inevitably arise during EMDR sessions. It would also be valuable for advanced practitioners because it would expose them to Dr. Manfield's elaborations and refinements of Francine Shapiro's brilliant protocol. Your book is the bestI have ever read about EMDR!
