Summary: EMDR: Little more than snake oil
Comment: The most impressive thing about EMDR and Francine Shapiro is that she continues to make hoards of money despite a convincing demonstration that EMDR is anything but exposure therapy. That she charges excessively high fees to "certify" practitioners in her approach is equally shameful.

Rating: 5
Summary: Fascinating and practical
Comment: This is a fascinating and very readable book. It is a book that will probably be of interest to clinicians and theorists of all orientations - even those who do not practice EMDR. I really enjoyed it!

Each chapter is written by a leading expert from every major psychotherapeutic orientation, and offers a rich and easily understood description of the specific therapy. Each chapter contains the interesting reflections of these leaders on the nature of therapeutic process and change. The book provides a unique perspective of the main schools of psychotherapy, demonstrating their commonalities, and illustrating how they can complement each other.

The authors discuss the integration of EMDR with their own therapeutic approach. Although the chapters are distinct in style, emphasis, language, and perspective, all share the same format and focus. Each chapter contains explanations of what that approach brings to EMDR and what EMDR offers that approach. Case studies and session transcripts provide fascinating examples and clearly illustrate the integrative treatment process.

The treatment of a wide range of complaints is described. These include depression, social phobia, marital discord, anger dyscontrol, attachment disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, body image disturbance, and other problems. As a clinician, I appreciated the practical details that illustrate the integrative application of EMDR with these other modalities.
