Fashioning EMDR targets with non co-operative Children: Tailoring the technique to the child

Utilising EMDR with non co-operative children presents a challenge to the therapist's creativity and flexibility. Non co-operation may be based on any one of a number of issues, such as generalised anxiety, strong need for control, fear of experiencing uncomfortable emotions. This paper looks at several clinical manifestations of non co-operation in the therapy room and discusses ways in which these reluctant children have been helped to identify a target problem and process it.
