"EMDR and the Art of Psychotherapy With Children"

EMDR and the Art of Psychotherapy With Children (Adler-Tapia & Settle, 2008). If you are interested in reading about EMDR with children of all ages, Carolyn Settle and I have written a book that provides detailed steps of how therapists can use EMDR with children. Published by Springer Publishing in New York, this book explains the subtleties of using EMDR with children including play therapy, sand tray, and art therapy techniques. The book also includes several original techniques that we have created to assist therapists with eliciting the procedural steps of EMDR with clients including "Mapping" and "Graphing." Along with the book, we wrote a manual that includes the protocols and forms that therapists need for using the EMDR 8 phase protocol created by Dr. Francine Shapiro. This manual can be copied and used by therapists during the psychotherapy process. We wrote the book to encourage therapists to use EMDR with clients and the book includes practical applications, protocols, research, specific diagnoses of children including attachment and dissociation, and recommendations for future research on EMDR with children. We hope you enjoy the book!
