Description
Grief Treatment with EMDR
Book Summary
This work offers a comprehensive and practical guide for applying EMDR therapy in the treatment of grief. The author, Roger M. Solomon, combines grief theory with the Adaptive Information Processing model to provide a clear and effective intervention framework. The book does not only address loss due to death, as its principles are applicable to any type of significant loss. Through an eight-phase structured approach, the reader will learn to conceptualize the case, plan the treatment, and facilitate the resolution of grief, whether normal, complicated, or traumatic. It is an essential resource for mental health professionals seeking specialized tools to support their patients through the grieving process.
What is it about?
The book is structured into four parts that guide the reader from theoretical foundations to detailed clinical application. The first part introduces EMDR therapy and provides an overview of grief, its definitions, and processes. The second part delves into the theoretical frameworks and treatment models that facilitate case conceptualization and intervention planning. The third part presents an integrative EMDR treatment model specifically designed for grief. Finally, the fourth part examines the eight phases of EMDR treatment in depth, providing concrete guidelines for each stage. The author addresses normal, complicated, and traumatic grief, exploring both the internal and interpersonal impact of loss.
