Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) has helped thousands of people haunted by abuse histories of recent traumatic events. It also benefits patients who have not found relief with other therapies and those with chronic conditions. Dr Laurel Parnell, a clinical psychologist in California and a senior EMDR Institute facilitator, provides an insider's view of EMDR. Drawing on her experiences as both client and therapist, she shares stories of healing, taking readers into her clients' psyches, where past traumas are witnessed and released.

Transforming Trauma: EMDR: The Revolutionary New Therapy for Freeing the Mind, Clearing the Body, and Opening the Heart
I was able to gain an understanding of EMDR with easy to understand, not too hard or simple language.This book is a quick read with all of the information I need.
Rated by buyers -
I read several books on this topic and found this to be the most scientific and includes a lot more references. Other books tended to have more personal, anecdotal stories.

Easy to read and helpful for understanding the process of EMDR. I would have to agree with the previous reviewer Laura M that PEACEFUL HEART : A Woman's Journey to Healing is a must-read. Aimee Jo Martin's story clearly illustrates and details her journey with successful EMDR treatments. Quite powerful if you want to really see how effective EMDR can be.

This book was just what I needed to learn about EMDR. She brought everything to a level very easy to comprehend. Many case studies. Just an all around excellent read!

This book provides a wealth of clinical examples of EMDR, but doesn't provide any information about what EMDR is or any understanding about how it works. The author admits that she is "not trained as a cognitive-behaviorist" and thus rationalizes her lack of explanation of the theory of EMDR. The author is also an EMDR trainer, which calls into question her choice of case studies. EMDR is a patented method (as the little "r's in a circle" keep reminding us) and it would seem that the author thus has a conflict of interest in selecting which case histories are described. The cases are presented in a gee whiz style that undercuts any sense of objectivity, and as a consequence, the books ends up sounding like a long info-mercial. Too bad, because EMDR is an interesting therapy, but may benefit from a more objective approach than what is given here.
