   As someone who has been a creative arts therapist (specifically drama therapist) since 2005 and an EMDR therapist since 2017, I was so excited when this book came out since it is the first to address blending the two modalities. I HIGHLY recommend it to therapists trained in both modalities, and I think it'd still be helpful for therapists trained in one or the other modality.

   Excellent book on the cutting edge of trauma recovery. An incredible guide for therapists to integrate EMDR and creative therapy practices. This book is especially helpful for me as a trauma- focused Art Therapist and psychologist. The examples are powerful illustrations of how EMDR combined with Art Therapy can offer deep healing for patients who present with complex trauma. The case examples were very helpful and I especially appreciated the the international focus. The author's focus on cultural, racial and diversity issues made the book applicable for my work in many ways.

   What a wonderful handbook for creative art therapists who do EMDR. Lots of good examples, treatment stories and creative therapy knowledge. I fortunately, it looks like there is a knock-off listed on Amazon (with wrong author) for a lower price. Do not purchase from this fraudulent vendor.

   Trauma-informed art therapists & EMDR practitioners need this! With the many parallels between art therapy, EMDR, and other trauma-informed modalities (IFS, movement, somatic work) this comprehensive book outlines the integration of neurobiology and art as a way of healing, knowing, understanding, and processing complex-trauma. This is the direction of the field of mental health and trauma-informed care... I am excited to use this as the foundation for my dissertation research on EMDR, IFS, and Art therapy. YES, YES, YES TO THIS BOOK!!! Grateful and hopeful for the future of integrating these modalities for the treatment of trauma and general wellness/healing globally.
