David Grand provides a detailed description of the workings of the trauma therapy method EMDR. In a clear and very personal manner, the book serves as an ideal introduction to current practice and the effectiveness of this approach. David Grand draws from his extensive experience as a psychotherapist in New York. His involvement in national disasters and his assistance in international crisis areas sharpened his awareness of the importance of using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Through a large number of case studies, the author thoroughly introduces EMDR therapy and explains the steps of the therapeutic process. In addition to healing applications, he also points out the possibilities for assistance in the fields of sports and the arts, as well as for everyday issues such as stage fright, fear of heights, or learning difficulties.
