Pre-Training Reading List

Pre-Training Reading List

For Basic Training in EMDR Therapy, we use the following two important texts. By the end of the training, you should read both in their entirety.

Shapiro, F. (2018). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Basic Principles, Protocols and Procedures (3rd ed.). New York: The Guilford Press.

Leeds, A. M. (2016). A Guide to the Standard EMDR Therapy Protocols for Clinicians, Supervisors, and Consultants, 2nd edition. New York: Springer Publishing Company.

Prior to the first training module, read and be familiar with the following:

From the Shapiro textbook: Chapters 1 – 5.

From the Leeds textbook: Chapters 1 – 6; and Appendix B: Exhibits B6 and B7, pp. 371-375.
