“Few evidence-based treatment approaches devote substantive attention to the infusion of culturally intentional counseling strategies into their frameworks. Mark Nickerson’s Cultural Competence and Healing Culturally Based Trauma with EMDR Therapy is a notable exception. High praise for this new edition. Yet again, Mark has assembled a highly skilled group of clinicians who not only address EMDR therapy with a variety of client populations, but also provide concrete approaches that facilitate treatment approaches. This treasure is a tour de force in EMDR therapy.”
– Norma Day-Vines, PhD – Dean for Diversity at Johns Hopkins University, professor and researcher who coined and developed the concept of clinical broaching of topics of race, ethnicity and culture.
Underscoring the importance of cultural competence, this groundbreaking book focuses on using EMDR therapy with specific populations, particularly those groups typically stigmatized, oppressed, or otherwise marginalized in society.
