Description
Description:
EMDR therapy is widely recognized as an effective trauma treatment by organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Department of Defense. In addition, 20 randomized trials demonstrate the positive effects of the eye movement component. Unlike other empirically supported approaches, it is unnecessary for the client to describe the trauma memory in detail or do daily homework to achieve positive effects. This presentation will demonstrate the eight phases of EMDR treatment with both adults and children through discussion, exercises and client videotapes.
Educational Objectives:
- Demonstrate procedures used during the eight phases of EMDR therapy.
- Describe the targets used in the 3-pronged protocol.
- Describe the principles that guide case conceptualization and treatment.
