Book Launch- GoE member has new book published!

by Phil Mollon

A pioneering work that explores how the insights of EMDR, energy psychology and psychoanalysis can be combined to inform and enrich one another and enable healing at a much deeper level.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with methods from the new field of energy psychology, enable the rapid processing and release of traumatic memories and painful emotion. Whilst both psychoanalytic and cognitive therapies are able to elicit the structures of thought and feeling that trap the individual in repetitive maladaptive behaviours, neither are very good at actually processing and transforming the troubling emotions and mental pain. Thus, traditional talking therapies may provide some insight or constructive ways of thinking, but do not alter the core patterns of dysfunctional emotional information. Phil Mollon’s revolutionary new book explores the advantages of linking these therapies. In it he:

• Presents an overall model of the psychosomatic system.
• Summarises the relevant research.
• Provides many clinical examples.
• Shows how closely Freud’s psychoanalysis relates to energy psychology.
• Explains the process of each therapy.

An innovative and challenging work for all mental health professionals.

Directions
By car: Junction 9 of the A1; on the left, you are immediately in Letchworth; at the second roundabout, turn left along the Baldock Road (A505), which soon becomes the Hitchin Road; shortly after the 40mph speed limit you will find the Rosehill Hospital on the left (it is between the towns of Letchworth and Hitchin).
By rail: a short taxi drive - just over 1 mile - or on foot, walk straight ahead out of the station, as far as you can go down the Broadway, then turn right along Hitchin Road, and the Rosehill Hospital is a little way on the left.
