Noth Carolina EMDRIA Regional Meeting - Shapiro DVD pt.1

Know the How & Why to Choose Your What:
Some Essentials of EMDR Model and Methodology
(2006 Pre-Conference DVD Recording with Francine Shapiro, Ph.D.)

In its twenty year history, EMDR has evolved from a simple technique into an integrative psychotherapy approach with a theoretical model that emphasizes the brain’s information processing system and memories of disturbing experiences as the basis of pathology. Process studies and qualitative analyses have identified distinct treatment effects (including a rapid reduction of subjective distress) that differentiate EMDR from other therapies. The DVD of this workshop will explore some essential conceptual and procedural elements necessary to practice EMDR. A thorough understanding of these elements allows for both flexibility and comprehensive attention to the full clinical picture.
