This format is designed for clinicians who are interested in learning to integrate EMDR successfully into their clinical practice by developing and applying their skills over an extended period of time. The seminar consists of lecture, live and videotaped demonstrations, case studies, supervised practice and ongoing case consultation. Participants will have ample opportunity to discuss their cases throughout the course and evaluate how EMDR can be applied. Participants will also practice EMDR in small groups with direct observation and feedback from trainers. The course contains the material necessary to complete the basic EMDR training requirements as set forth by the EMDR International Association.

Participants will be required to read the textbook by Francine Shapiro, PhD, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: Basic Principles, Protocols and Procedures Guilford Press, NY, 2nd Edition, 2001.
