th.jpg

Live Interactive Webinar- 50 Social Work CE credits available!

This course focuses on the origin, theory, components, research and application of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a treatment method originally developed for treating trauma and now being applied to a range of client problems. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to utilize this method appropriately and effectively with diverse client populations and problems. Such use is based on an understanding of the theoretical basis of EMDR Therapy, client safety issues, integration with a comprehensive treatment plan, and supervised practice with the components of EMDR as well as its various applications. This EMDR course is based on the original Shapiro model of EMDR, which is suitable for adults as well as children.

This course is appropriate for: clinical professionals, psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.

OBJECTIVES

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1) Present an overview of the history of EMDR.

2) Discuss current theoretical conceptualizations of EMDR Therapy and of the AIP Model and discuss the current explanatory model, methodology and underlying mechanisms of EMDR Therapy.

3) Be able to prepare clients for the work, so they understand the work, can truly provide consent, and be able to engage in processing.

4) Discuss clinical applications of EMDR Therapy with diverse problems and populations and have the ability to integrate EMDR into clinical practice.

5) Demonstrate competence in implementing and integrating EMDR Therapy according to established protocols in clinical practice.

6) Integrate EMDR Therapy into a comprehensive intervention plan using the AIP model to guide the development of a case conceptualization and treatment plan.
