Introduction to the Manual

This revised manual is based on EMDR therapy created by Dr. Francine Shapiro and documented in Dr. Shapiros books (1995, 2001). This treatment manual has been updated to provide a simple and practical way to use the phases of EMDR therapy in psychotherapy with children to adolescents. Additional sections expand on the use of innovative scripts and instructions for therapists working with children 0 to 6 years old and preteens and adolescents. The EMDR therapy scripts, protocols, and forms that are detailed in the book EMDR and the Art of Psychotherapy With Children: Infants to Adolescents, Second Edition, are included in this manual. An inventive tablePhases, Ages, and Stageshas been added. It efficiently summarizes the eight phases of EMDR therapy as they relate to the developmental stages of children from infant to adolescent. Also, a new Blocking Beliefs questionnaire was adapted for children and teens and is provided in the manual to guide the therapist.

The manual reflects the chapters in the book and includes directions to the therapist, session protocols, therapists scripts, and forms for each phase of the protocol. Instructions to the therapist provide an overview of the goals for the specific phases of EMDR therapy with suggestions for case formulation. Session protocols include the steps for each specific phase of treatment. Next, therapists are provided with scripts that include possible wording for the therapist to use with children and adolescents set in italics. The final section of each phase includes forms as templates for the therapist to use for documentation and case planning.
