[R]eading this book has given me a whole host of new ideas about working with complex and dissociative clients... Clear and engaging, peppered with relevant case histories, this book would make an important addition to anyone's EMDR-related book collection."" --Dr. Robin Logie, EMDR UK & Ireland

Jim Knipe’s EMDR Toolbox is the first to bring together in one volume an overview of the principal issues in treatment of dissociative disorders in complex PTSD, and a description of the integration of specific EMDR-related interventions or ""tools"" with other psychotherapeutic treatments. These tools can significantly extend the therapeutic power of EMDR-related methods. Each intervention is examined in detail with accompanying transcripts illustrating the nuances and variations in how the intervention is applied. It is written by a highly esteemed EMDR scholar, trainer, international speaker, and author who is an EMDRIA-designated ""Master Clinician.""

This EMDR therapy book discusses how the concepts and vocabulary of other models of dissociation (particularly the Theory of Structural Dissociation of the Personality, and the Internal Family Systems model) translate directly into EMDR's Adaptive Information Processing language. It presents detailed descriptions of specific EMDR-related tools that are useful in facilitating and safely accelerating therapeutic progress with clients suffering from Complex PTSD. These include such standard EMDR procedures as Trauma Processing and Resource Installation, several conceptual/cognitive/phenomenological models of dissociative personality structures and symptoms, and specific EMDR interventions for resolving dysfunctionally stored post-traumatic elements. The book will be of great value to therapists who wish to extend their use of basic EMDR to clients with emotional concerns varying in complexity.

This is a book for clinicians. I took Jim's training and found I needed to buy the book to really master the tools. I have found them invaluable in working with people with trauma.

z****

Knipe's book is very accessible - well written and the most helpful EMDR resource I've found thus far.

v****

As a clinician that has read several books in the field this is one of the books that needs to be read cover to cover. The information is very useful especially the Word for Word session examples given. Very helpful! Using the techniques in session and has been healing to my clients!!

This book is a wonderful resource for learning new approaches for applying EMDR with clients. Also, Knipe's use of ovals in depicting the personality, defenses and trauma memories helps to explain these concepts to clients. This is a book I will return to multiple times.

b****

This is much more sophisticated than a toolbox, because Dr. Knipe explains the dynamics of how trauma is trapped in place so it can be safely addressed with EMDR. My technique has grown, and I've known what to do when a trauma is linked to a dissociative or idealizing defense or is held in place by shame.

Great book. I have read "The Body Keeps the Score" by Van Der Kolk. This helps in showing that some things can be tied to others and offers some ways to go about it if you seem stuck. I am not a therapist, but I wanted to understand the issue behind PTSD for my own purposes. I had a very abusive childhood and wanted to understand what happens to the mind. It is pretty technical and definitely was a hard read due to my lack of training, but there are many nuggets to be found in this book, even for a regular person like me. Would be great for actual therapists since it talks about other theories and how those can be tied to sessions of EMDR training.

If you are practicing EMDR this book is a must read (even if you are not it is worth reading) I find it unfortunate that we are not more fluent in the underpinnings of pain and trauma as it relates to helping people heal. Jim Knipe beautifully identifies the presence of dissociation and the importance of having fluency in not only identifying this as an outcome of trauma but as a consistent outcome. Our field is becoming more fluent in the complexity of trauma. EMDR is an incredible approach that expedites the process of finding relief. The way Knipe organizes his material and presents it in highly readable and understandable ways has impacted the way that I practice in general. There are so many books and it is difficult to discern which one is a must, which one would be nice to have, and which one's to pass. This one is a must.
