1: life saving
Medicare needs to pay for this therapy - for all of us, and for all of our veterans with PTSD - can be cured in 3 sessions, on average - rather than 25+ years of suffering - pick one!
|
2: Great Explanation of EMDR
This book is not particularly useful for clinicians. Laypeople who want a clear overview of EMDR will find it in this book by the "discoverer" of the techniques.
|
3: Good overview but perhaps a little out of date
This book is good for having an overview of EMDR and its history. It is not, however, the most current book out there and is also more appropriate for clinicians than for the layman.

4: Very convincing
This book provides an excellent study of the effectiveness of EMDR--eye movement desensitization and reprocessing--for prospective patients and their families, alike.
No question, the book is very well written, and, as one other reviewer noted, a page turner. As a result, we were seriously considering this method for our child. And we may well consider the idea again in the future.
For the moment, we are pursuing neurobiofeedback, which seems to treat injured portions of the brain very effectively, promoting calm, stability and mood elevation. But in nations and regions where neurobiofeedback is not yet available, EMDR may well provide the next best thing.
My only concern is a report of possible brain injury as a result of this therapy. I have not seen any medical corroboration of that report, however. And it seems that EMDR is now a medically accepted method of treatment, particularly in cases of post-traumatic stress disorder.
This book provides a great introduction to the concepts, and frequently positive results, of such treatment.

5: Very useful and well written
Very useful and understandable, practical tool and method. It is welcomed as an assett to the counseling profession
