Defining and Redefining EMDR

This book presents new clinical strategies involving EMDR, a new psychotherapeutic approach that represents a new paradigm for treatment of trauma and difficult memories. It includes diagnostics, work with Ego States and integration with psychodynamic psychotherapy, body processing and new proposals for performance enhancement, especially with actors and athletes. Written in simple, but profound language, the author, David Grand, Ph.D., also presents two complete sessions transcribed verbatim from his private practice in New York. He also takes the time to answer frequently asked questions about different applications of EMDR, such as, stuttering, self-use, fear of flying, and finishes off with instructions on the use of BioLateral sound recordings.

He’s given numerous classes and conferences about EMDR in the United States and other parts of the world.
