Dr. Philip Manfield: I am a psychotherapist with over thirty-five years clinical experience. Over the years I have worked with and helped hundreds of individuals and couples through a wide range of difficulties. My style is respectful, interactive and dynamic,  I've learned that there are a lot ways to help, to heal and to promote personal growth, and that no particular approach fits every person or situation. For example, for individuals with problems arising from recent traumatic events or from childhood trauma or neglect, whose parents may have been inconsistent or worse, I often combine EMDR with cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic strategies. I have two offices, one in Berkeley, CA and the other in Walnut Creek, CA.

Dr. Manfield has been licensed as a marriage and family therapist since 1975. He has authored or edited four books and numerous articles about psychotherapy and the use of EMDR. An international trainer, he has taught in the US, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. In January, 2001, he was honored to be featured in the book, "3 Minute Consultations with America's Greatest Psychotherapists." (Jason Aronson, Publishers) He is currently Northern California Regional Coordinator for the EMDR International Association.

What I most enjoyed about this book is the sense that I was listening to a master clinician, and watching him put all of his skills to work in the service of EMDR. Basically, watching a lifetime of experience.  It is more complete on this topic (resourcing) than anything else I am aware of. I will be recommending it as a primary source on resource development. - Robert Tinker, PhD, Co-author with Sandra Wilson, PhD: Through the Eyes of a Child: EMDR with Children, (W.W.Norton, 1999)
