Eye Movement Integration Therapy: The Comprehensive Clinical Guide2 reviews
Danie Beaulieu

Eye Movement Integration therapy, is a new "neuro-therapeutic" approach to the treatment of intrusive memories, phobias, post-traumatic-stress-disorder etc. Although it has obvious overlaps with EMDR, Beaulieu seeks to identify EMI as a separate discipline. There are, indeed, a few ...

Karen Levine, Naomi Chedd
Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2007
Systematic Desensitization Meets Pretending
I'm a fan of any book that opens with a quote from Jerry of Ben and Jerry's ("If it's not fun, why do it?"). I'll officially say he's my second favorite hippie-Jerry.
This is a nice guide to a specific technique of play therapy for enhancing emotional and behavioral development for children on the PDD spectrum. The idea is to use repetitive play as a symbolic reenactment of events associated ...
