EMDR, Dissociation, and Beyond: Reexamining and Expanding the Frame for Impactful Trauma Treatment

EMDR, Dissociation, and Beyond delves more deeply into the dissociative disorders’ literature than any previous text on this topic, providing much-needed connectivity between two fields that are often at odds. This book expands the possibilities for case conceptualization by more comprehensively integrating wisdom from the study and treatment of dissociative disorders with the practice of EMDR therapy.

Readers will be invited to deepen their knowledge of working with pathological dissociation, reexamine familiar protocols and widely held beliefs, and consider new ways to approach enduring treatment challenges. The chapters lead readers through dimensions of theory and practice applicable to the treatment of dissociation and dissociative disorders, both within and beyond the practice of EMDR therapy. Weaving together strands from many schools of thought and infused with the authors’ decades of experience, EMDR, Dissociation, and Beyond brings together EMDR therapy and the treatment of dissociation in a way that invites the past into the present and opens doors to the future.
