Critical Acclaim for Handbook of EMDR and Family Therapy Processes

A groundbreaking new guide introducing a comprehensive approach for working with individuals, couples, families, and community disasters

Starting with the Foreword by Daniel Siegel, MD, the Handbook demonstrates, in superb detail, how to combine EMDR's information processing approach with family systems perspectives and therapy techniques. These two powerful approaches result in a comprehensive integrated treatment to make therapy more robust and effective.

This unique volume blends theory, practice descriptions, and case examples to illustrate the therapy process with a wide variety of presenting complaints.

Fascinating and readable, the Handbook is ideal for all clinicians, regardless of training or orientation, who wish to broaden their scope and increase their therapeutic effectiveness in the treatment of individuals, couples, and families.
