Praise for the Second Edition: This book is a must-have for any newly trained EMDR therapist.

The EMDR Therapy Primer is the perfect companion to Shapiro's seminal textbook. –Deborah Korn, PhD. This book presents EMDR as a comprehensive therapeutic approach and informs the clinician how to integrate EMDR into clinical practice.
