EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training |
There are a number of individual and
organizational EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training Providers offering
different format options, such as University and Commercial
trainings. EMDR Training offered in a University setting usually takes place over an entire (12 week) semester, while trainings offered in a
Commercial setting may take place over a 2 weekend period, several weeks
or may even be specially tailored around a trainees' or agency's work
schedule. Training prices, times, locations, formats, and overall length
will vary depending on the training site.
An EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training provides
clinicians with the knowledge and skills to utilize EMDR therapy, a
comprehensive understanding of case conceptualization and treatment
planning, and the ability to integrate EMDR therapy into their clinical
practice. An EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training provides, at a minimum,
instruction in the current explanatory model, methodology, and
underlying mechanisms of EMDR through lecture, practice, and integrated
consultation. While the EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training
Curriculum outlines the minimum requirements which need to be met, the
developer of a specific curriculum can enhance or expand any portion as
they see fit. These minimum training requirements include: 20 hours
instructional material, 20 hours supervised practicum, and 10 hours
consultation. Instructional (20 Hours): The goal of the instructional section of the training is to provide information and understanding in each of the following areas:
A) Model - Adaptive
Information Processing (AIP) including basic hypotheses concepts of AIP,
clinical implications, differentiation from other models, and
applications. B) Methodology explains and teaches the method of EMDR. 1) 8-Phases Phase 1 - History Taking, Case Conceptualization & Treatment Planning Phase 2 - Client Preparation Phase 3 - Assessment Phase 4 - Desensitization Phase 5 - Installation Phase 6 - Body Scan Phase 7 - Closure Phase 8 - Reevaluation 2) Advanced Methodology - This includes special protocols and specific populations 3) Professional, legal, ethical issues C) Mechanism of Action underlying EMDR Supervised Practicum (20 Hours): The
goal of supervised practicum is to facilitate the demonstration and
practice of EMDR. To achieve the goals of the supervised practicum,
practice may be done in dyads or triads. It is imperative that trainees
receive direct behavioral observation and feedback. Whenever
appropriate, trainees practice with real life experiences. Ample
practice is recommended before introducing/teaching the Cognitive
Interweave. Practice should be included for each phase of the procedure
as outlined in the instructional section. Consultation (10 Hours): Consultation
provides an opportunity for the integration of the theory of EMDR along
with the development of EMDR therapy skills. During consultation trainees
receive individualized feedback and instruction in the areas of case
conceptualization, client readiness, target selection, treatment
planning, specific application of skills, and the integration of EMDR therapy
into clinical practice. Consultation is about real cases and not
experiences that occur in practicum. Consultation increases the use of EMDR therapy by those who have received training, reduces the formation of bad habits and the risks of problematic use of EMDR. It also allows the clinician to develop and integrate EMDR therapy skills creatively into their other skills in a way that enhances clinical efficiency and effectiveness in helping a wider range of clients meet their goals for change. |
