This book review by Camille Zeiter, LICSW describes E.C. Hurley’s “A Clinician’s Guide for Treating Active Military and Veteran Populations With EMDR Therapy,” 2021.

“The purpose of this book is to serve as a manual for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) providers working with military personnel and veterans. In this epic book, the author begins by portraying many facets of the military as it relates to EMDR practice: military rank, sense of responsibility, the meaning of relationships and attachment issues, the impact of war and grief, the vigilance of combat, and the containment of emotions.”
