For any EMDR therapist working with children and adolescents, this handbook is much more than just a foundational text. It is your companion and your guide, the basis of your learning, and a source of support and clarity. Within these pages are global voices of expertise and wisdom brought together to guide you through clinical complexities and advise you how to move with a child along their unique healing journey. Working as an EMDR child therapist, holding a child as they courageously heal is one of the most rewarding, honourable, and humbling professions. At times we may be overwhelmed by the task at hand. This textbook will be a source of insight, affirmation, and hope in those times.
In this extraordinary handbook, editors Renée Beer and Carlijn de Roos have integrated state-of-the-art knowledge of all things related to EMDR therapy for children—theory, empirical evidence, case conceptualization, and clinical application—with a wide array of presentations, populations, treatment settings, and contexts. This cutting-edge volume coherently brings together expert knowledge, a wealth of experience, and stories of recovery from leaders in our EMDR therapy field. Each author has not only generously taken time to comprehensively share not just what they know; each chapter also presents insights and wisdom in specialty areas derived from careers passionately dedicated to the healing of children across our globe.
