EMDR and the Energy Therapies cover

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with methods from the new field of energy psychology, such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), enable the rapid processing and release of traumatic memories and painful emotion. In this innovative work, Phil Mollon demonstrates how the perspectives of EMDR, energy psychology, and psychoanalysis can inform and enrich each other. By summarising relevant research and providing many clinical examples, Mollon has produced a challenging and invigorating scrutiny of psychoanalysis and an expanded vision of the potential for psychosomatic healing.

'In the last twenty years, the treatment of phobias, generalised anxiety and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder has been revolutionised by the use of Energy Therapies, posing a major challenge to conventional treatment approaches. In his book, Dr Mollon builds a much-needed bridge between these new, highly effective techniques and the concepts of traditional psychotherapy. Practitioners from both fields have much to learn from each other and this book provides an excellent meeting ground.'- Birgitta R. Heiller, BPS Chartered Psychologist and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist.'Dr Mollon once again stimulates us with innovative and creative clinical ideas for the open-minded psychotherapist, backed by excellent clinical examples and a full review of the research.'- John Spector, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, EMDR Accredited Trainer and Past President of EMDR Association UK and Ireland'This groundbreaking book is revolutionary in its scope. It is most stimulating reading ... A seminal and turning-point contribution for psychoanalysis.'- Judith Issroff, Psychoanalyst; Child, Adolescent and Family Psychiatrist and Traumatologist
