Over the past sixteen years, since its initial introduction to professional circles, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has become increasingly popular among practitioners dealing with trauma. While a number of empirical studies, clinical experience, and published scholarly work have confirmed the efficacy of this therapeutic method in the treatment of trauma and PTSD, there remains a large gap in the literature pertaining to this burgeoning area. Most of the existing literature on EMDR concentrates on the theoretical constructs of the method and/or the physical methodology of the treatment. The proposed book will explore an area that has, until now, been left unconsidered.
"EMDR From the Heart" examines the nature of the therapeutic relationship as it pertains to EMDR use in psychotherapy. Mark Dworkin has been in practice as a psychotherapist for over 30 years - specializing in the treatment of PTSD for the last 25 of those years - and has been working with Dr. Francine Shapiro (founder of the EMDR Institute and generally accepted as the developer of EMDR) since 1995. Mr. Dworkin represents the entire body of research and published work on the relational aspects of EMDR, and has received Dr. Shapiro's support and guidance in his expansion of the theory and practice of this treatment methodology. Indeed, Dr. Shapiro will write the foreword to the book, which guarantees a level of credibility and authority both within the EMDR networks and for those clinicians interested in incorporating the technique into their practices.

Industry Reviews

'This book provides a practical, clinically rich framework that will enhance the beginning and experienced clinician's ability to utilize EMDR. A must-read for all EMDR clinician's.' - Roger M. Solomon, Senior Faculty, EMDR Institute, USA

In the book, "EMDR AND THE RELATIONAL IMPERATIVE" Mark Dworkin teaches us valuable tools, such as the relational interweave, to manage these transferential blocks and self regulating skills for EMDR clinicians to use when countertransference is awakened.

The author interweaves an excellent revision of EMDR methodology - phase by phase- with the relational issues which contribute to ascertain good results, and if unhindered, are responsible for many bad results.

Many South American EMDR practitioners coming from psychoanalysis will find in this book familiar terms, being addressed though from an EMDR perspective, making it a must for those colleagues seeking to integrate different perspectives of the same phenomenon: the enormous value of the therapeutic relation.

Mark Dworkin's thorough knowledge, profoundly humane stance and acute clinical expertise are evident throughout this book.
