Description:
EMDR Therapy: A Detailed Exploration Into the Model
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): a model compatible for most clinical settings.
EMDR has established itself as a viable psychotherapy for the treatment of trauma and other related mental health disorders. EMDR is an efficacious treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Research is continuing to demonstrate the widespread applicability of EMDR in a variety of clinical presentations. Some of this will be discussed in the course presentation.

The first part of the training reviews the research, history and development of this therapy. The method, model and neurological mechanism (Bergmann, 2000; Servan-Schrieber, 2000; Stickgold, 2002) and behavioral changes (Armstrong & Vaughan, 1996; MacCulloch & Feldman, 1996) are also explained and defined. The participants will understand the eight-phase treatment model, the eight procedural steps of EMDR and the three-pronged approach this model uses as a comprehensive treatment (Shapiro, 2002).

This training also includes affect management and grounding skills, target development strategies, negative cognition development and legal and ethical issues as they relate to EMDR. There are approximately six hours of discussion that teach the trainee all the requisite skills to use the EMDR model safely and appropriately.

EMDR is also compared to other treatment modalities in this training so one can assess the similarities and differences as well as the strengths and weakness of this model.
