Summary: Powerful Extension of EMDR
Review: I am dismayed by the previous reviewer's comments regarding this meticulously researched work. No, this book is not "about" EMDR, and does not pretend to be. Instead, it describes interventions that Dr. Omaha developed by combining attachment theory, emotion regulation theory, and the bilateral stimulation used in EMDR. I find this work much richer and wide-reaching than standard EMDR, and I have been using Dr. Omaha's techniques with the majority of my clients. I have been using EMDR for 4 years, and like many practitioners, have found abreaction to be a common problem with many clients, particularly those with chronic trauma experiences. Using the emotion regulation interventions described in this book has resulted in tremendous improvements in clients with affect dysregulation, and has allowed me to do more effective traditional EMDR with clients. Dr. Omaha's work represents one of the most powerful and useful extensions of EMDR available.

Summary: Misrepresentation
Review: This book is not about EMDR. Apparently the author has invented his own form of therapy and is using EMDR in the title to sell the book. Not only that, he is inaccurate in his descriptions of EMDR when he mentions it. His suggested procedures are not tested, and his credentials appear to be having given a couple of workshops. Readers should proceed with caution.
