ABSTRACT

This unique handbook provides a guide for supervisors of therapists who use Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and those undergoing training in EMDR supervision.

Whilst drawing on the literature on supervision theory and research, this book provides a down-to-earth guide to this topic, focusing on the European system of accreditation. The book guides the EMDR supervisor and supervisor-in-training in the difficult task of balancing the roles of educator, enabler, and evaluator.

Using the author’s unique blend of warmth, humour, and humility, the book includes vignettes of real-life situations encountered by the author and provides practical solutions to dilemmas encountered in EMDR supervision.
