EMDR Therapy in Legally Sensitive Matters: Clinical Considerations for Australian EMDR Therapists.

Hurst, A., Dominguez, S., Harvey, L., & Schubert, S.

This practical resource provides guidance for EMDR therapists working in legally sensitive contexts, where a client’s experiences may be relevant to current or future legal proceedings. Drawing on Australian case law and trauma-informed practice, it offers considerations around consent, timing, documentation, record keeping, and maintaining the therapist’s therapeutic role while supporting ethical and clinically sound care.
