Letter from the Editor
SUMMER, 2004 Edition
The EMDR-Practitioner
Dear EMDR Colleagues, Associates and Friends,
I am delighted to announce the launch of the Summer 2004 edition of
The EMDR Practitioner (EMDR-P), the official professional journal
representing Europe and the EMDR Europe Association. Since taking
on EMDR therapist Andrew Millard as webmaster last year, the journal
has undergone a remarkable facelift, and we are indebted to his craftsmanship.
It is now easier to navigate between the sections of the journal.
We are continuously reviewing news and information updates from The
EMDR Europe Association, the coordinating body for the national EMDR
associations, and an affiliated member of the EMDR International Association
(EMDRIA). Currently, fourteen member countries are recognized by the
EMDR Europe Association, represented by the country flag buttons on
the Home page of The EMDR Practitioner. We are eager to expand our
member states, especially in recognition of the recent addition of
ten new EU members. Although the EMDR-P represents the heart of an
ever-expanding Europe, our philosophy emphasizes the value of communication,
unity, and inclusivity. In this spirit, we welcome member states from
all over the world to contribute to and be represented in our premier
journal.
The EMDR Europe Association accredits practitioners and consultants
according to sets of rigorous training and supervision activities,
and maintains close communication with the EMDR parent organization
in America, and with the international organization, EMDRIA. These
and European national sites can be found on our newly expanded “links”
page.
The EMDR Europe Association’s conference in Stockholm on June 11-13
2004 was a great success, and we would like to solicit brief reviews
from our readership on conference activities.
There are a number of improvements to The Practitioner which we will
be considering this year, including:
We are eager to receive your suggestions for making the journal an
even more valuable addition to your practice, and to consider publishing
with us. If you would like to sit on the review board, please let
me know.
For our Summer 2004 edition, we begin with contributions from several
of our most outstanding EMDR practitioners. I have included a brief
introduction of each of the author’s articles, and I am certain that
you will enjoy these contributions
