EMDR : the breakthrough therapy for overcoming… by Francine Shapiro

who does this book appeal to? who is this book for?

over the course of this book precious little is communicated abt EMDR; the theory behind it, the process and methods. mostly we get glimpses into its inspiration, history, and case studies/examples

but this is all communicated thru narrative anecdotes, excruciatingly slow, they all read like bad YA fiction. nothing abt the style or tone of the narrativization lends itself to an explanation or articulation of emdr

im all for experimental communication of novel methods, experimental nonfiction writing, and a focus on emotions, but this is simply bad writing. if she wanted to make the book easy-to-process light reading for those who dont read much nonfiction, or just want to get a glimpse/gloss of what emdr is, then this book shouldve been 1/25 the length! who is going to continue thru these passages to continue learning nothing abt the topic while enduring overly-earnest and sluggish clinical prose!… (more)
