The Art and Science of EMDR - Rotem Brayer - Bog

The EMDR model is linear-real EMDR is not.

Therapists who are trained in EMDR can facilitate healing in the most profound ways. But successful treatment requires more than following a rigid script or a protocol. It requires bringing both the art and science of EMDR into the therapy room.¿

In The Art and Science of EMDR, clinicians will learn how to do just that. Grounded in the principles of neurobiology and the science of deliberate practice, this book teaches both new and seasoned EMDR clinicians how to apply the phase-based model of EMDR in a more holistic way. Instead of conceptualizing EMDR in an inflexible and linear manner, clinicians will learn how to adapt the protocol to each client's needs while maintaining authenticity to the model (and to who they are as therapists and humans).

Whether you are an EMDR trainer, consultant, or practitioner, this user-friendly guide will help you: Understand a client's presenting problems through the lens of neuroscience
Identify and overcome common mistakes during preparation and resourcing
Individualize a client's inner resources
Develop regular mindfulness habits that improve client outcomes
Bring more fluidity to the assessment phase
Set the groundwork for effective processing and learn when to intervene
Bring the principles of deliberate practice to EMDR trainings and consultations
