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 newly edited textbook by Francine Shapiro, PhD, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: Basic Principles, Protocols and Procedures Guilford Press, NY, 2nd Edition, 2001.

Integrating EMDR with Other Approaches

EMDR has become invaluable for pschotherapists of all major orientations including psychoanalysis/psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, experiential and Gestalt. It is a method which is readily integrated into one's clinical practice and can be learned in a very modest period of time.

Qualifications for Attending

A clinical background is necessary for the effective application of EMDR. Attendance at the workshop is limited to mental health professionals who have a masters degree or higher in the mental health field and are licensed or certified through a state or national board which authorizes independent practice.

Intern/graduate student requirements: completion of graduate level coursework at an accredited school and be on a licensing track under state sanctioned supervision by a licensed clinician. Please submit a detailed curriculum vitae/resume and a current supervisor's letter with his/her degree and license number.

These workshops are for clincal purposes only and will not qualify the participant to train others in the EMDR approach.
