EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an innovative method of psychotherapy, which utilizes elements of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, exposure, and mind/body therapies to accelerate healing for clients suffering from Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder and a wide range of other problems. This 11 session comprehensive training will be given from January to June, 2010.  It provides 53 hours of training of both Basic EMDR (formerly called Level I) and Intermediate EMDR (Level II) in a small group setting with ongoing support throughout the learning process.

Participants must be master's-level or higher licensed mental health professionals in a clinical practice setting that permits EMDR with clients.

Participants will:

ˇ      Learn the 8 Phase Standard EMDR Protocol

ˇ       Practice EMDR skills as a trainee-client and as a trainee-therapist

        under facilitator supervision with colleagues

ˇ       Problem-solve about case conceptualization to prepare to use EMDR
