Transforming Your Clinical Practice with EMDR: The Basic Course for Mental Health Professionals

For mental-health therapists.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy approach for the treatment of a broad spectrum of issues, including disturbing life events, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, and complex trauma.

Experience for yourself the transformative power of EMDR. Through lecture, discussion, live demonstrations, videotapes of actual clients, and supervised practice, you learn how to

• Apply EMDR’s three-pronged protocol for comprehensive treatment effects
• Identify and reprocess disturbing life experiences that are informing current difficulties
• Use client selection criteria and prepare for memory reprocessing with EMDR
• Effectively facilitate processing when clients get stuck or experience intense emotional responses
• Employ EMDR with specialized populations such as children, families, couples, combat veterans, and adults traumatized as children.

This basic course is for licensed mental-health professionals who are seeking to enhance their clinical skills by learning this powerful, evidence-based treatment approach. Deany Laliotis is a master trainer who has been on the faculty of the EMDR Institute™ since 1993.
