A Guide to the Standard EMDR Protocols for Clinicians, Supervisors and Consultants
A Guide to the Standard EMDR Protocols provides clear, concise treatment guidelines on the clinical use of EMDR and serves as a resource for practicing clinicians, consultants, supervisors, clinic directors, and hospital administrators.

This book provides an orientation to the clinical, professional, and risk management issues involved in integrating EMDR into clinical practice. The book provides sample consultation agreements and forms for documenting treatment planning, case summaries, and treatment outcomes. These forms will be especially helpful for case managers and clinical supervisors in agencies and community health treatment centers.

Key features:

  • Charts, forms, illustrations, tables, and clinical decision trees, present essential information clearly and concisely to guide treatment planning and documentation
  • Clinical case studies with transcripts illustrate the standard protocols with clear guidelines for informed decision making.
  • Covers ethical and professional issues in clinical application, consultation, supervision, and research.
  • Provides an overview of the stages of clinical skill development.

“Master clinician Andrew Leeds has written a truly magnificent book that fully explores the art and science of EMDR for PTSD, phobias and panic disorder. Highly instructive in its descriptions of clinical procedures, solid in the presentation of empirical evidence, clear in the theoretical underpinnings, and rich in its case illustrations, this Guide should be required reading for both beginning and experienced EMDR clinicians. I also strongly recommend it to clinicians who, so far, have remained unfamiliar with this highly effective and consumer-friendly treatment approach.”

“Andrew Leeds’ book adds enormous value to the in-person training in EMDR that he has offered for many years by making available to anyone the clinical wisdom and depth of understanding that he brings to this therapy. This volume gives the EMDR practitioner, whether novice or experienced, an extremely useful, clinically sound reference to call upon. It's a book that I'm going to add to the reading list for my trainees, and recommend to colleagues who practice EMDR.”
