EMDR Up Close: Subtleties of Trauma Processing

by Philip Manfield

EMDR Up Close. provides a rare opportunity to get inside the mind of a talented and experienced EMDR therapist as he works with both straightforward and complex therapeutic challenges. Dr. Manfield provides verbatim transcripts with commentary at each choice point that explains why he chooses to use one intervention over another, what cues he is attending to, and what language he employs for his interventions. This book would be valuable for both beginning and seasoned EMDR therapists. It will assist newly trained therapists in developing their capacity to understand how to handle the challenges that inevitably arise during EMDR sessions. It would also be valuable for advanced practitioners because it would expose them to Dr. Manfield’s elaborations and refinements of Francine Shapiro’s brilliant protocol.

[Tyler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book on EMDR processing. This book contains a lot of information on EMDR that Dr. Manfield noted from his observations of Dr. Shapiro but do not appear in the clinical manual. This book really focuses on getting the Assessment phase right, which is the most crucial and challenging part of EMDR. Practitioners will find this to be an extremely practical book that helps to make their work more efficient and artful.

Many books about EMDR expand upon or deconstruct the protocol. This was an excellent book to strengthen the intuitive muscle used in EMDR. The examples and commentary are extremely helpful.
