Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy: Basic Principles, Protocols, and Procedures, 3rd Edition (ISBN-13 9781462532766) by Francine Shapiro is the definitive EMDR therapy book, written by the psychologist who developed EMDR and spent her career refining and researching it. Published by The Guilford Press in December 2017, this EMDR therapy 3rd edition is the most current version of the foundational text that clinicians have used to learn and implement EMDR since the therapy's earliest days.

If you are a therapist learning EMDR, completing EMDR training, or deepening a practice you have already begun, this is the book that provides the complete theoretical and procedural foundation directly from the therapy's originator.

About This EMDR Therapy Book

The Francine Shapiro EMDR book is organized around two central frameworks that run through every chapter. The first is the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which explains how trauma memories become dysfunctionally stored and why EMDR's targeted bilateral stimulation enables their adaptive processing. The second is the eight-phase EMDR protocol itself, which provides the clinical structure for every EMDR session from initial history-taking through reevaluation.

What makes this EMDR therapy textbook the essential reference in the field is its combination of theoretical depth and clinical specificity. Earlier editions established EMDR as an evidence-based treatment for PTSD. The 3rd Edition extends that coverage to EMDR applications across a broader range of conditions, updated research findings through 2017, and more detailed clinical guidance for complex presentations. The EMDR Therapy Guide that clinicians cite in supervision, training programs, and clinical consultations is this book.

Who Should Read This EMDR Book for Therapists?

Licensed psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers who are completing or have completed formal EMDR training use this as their primary clinical reference throughout their EMDR practice. EMDR training programs, including those approved by EMDRIA, reference or assign this textbook as core reading because the protocols in clinical practice derive directly from Shapiro's framework.

Clinicians who learned EMDR from an earlier edition use the 3rd Edition to update their understanding of the protocol refinements and the expanded applications Shapiro addresses in the latest version. Trauma specialists who want to understand EMDR at a theoretical depth beyond what a training alone provides use this EMDR therapy textbook as the authoritative source for the AIP model and its clinical implications.

Why Choose EMDR Therapy by Francine Shapiro?

There are other EMDR books for therapists, but there is only one book written by the person who developed the therapy, researched it across its entire history, and refined the protocol through three decades of clinical application. The Shapiro EMDR text is not one interpretation of EMDR among many. It is the source that all other EMDR resources draw from.

The hardcover format is also the right choice for a reference you will use throughout your career. EMDR therapy is a skill that develops over years of practice, and the clinical guidance in this book remains relevant at every stage. Clinicians in their tenth year of EMDR practice still find the Francine Shapiro EMDR text useful for complex case consultations and protocol refinements that more introductory resources do not address.
