Sue Johnson's new clinical text at registration on May 29th at 8:30 am.
Attachment Theory in Practice:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
with Individuals, Couples, and Families
Drawing on cutting-edge research on adult attachment--and providing an innovative roadmap for clinical practice--Susan M. Johnson argues that psychotherapy is most effective when it focuses on the healing power of emotional connection. The primary developer of emotionally focused therapy (EFT) for couples, Johnson now extends her attachment-based approach to individuals and families. The volume shows how EFT aligns perfectly with attachment theory as it provides proven techniques for treating anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Each modality (individual, couple, and family therapy) is covered in paired chapters that respectively introduce key concepts and present an in-depth case example. Special features include instructive end-of-chapter exercises and reflection questions.
Toronto's Four Day EFT Externship will be recorded.
ICEEFT will be recording the entire 4 day training to be made into a training tape. This externship is the first externship that will include an Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individual (EFIT) component.
