Description
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) addresses the issues of distressed couples from an attachment perspective. Developed in the 1980s by Johnson and Greenberg, EFT is supported by 20 years of empirical research, with 90% of couples showing significant improvement. By conceptualizing relationships as emotional bonds, EFT focuses on basic attachment needs that underlie distressing and distancing cycles of couple interaction.
Participants will practice interventions that help partners experience and express primary emotions in a constructive, effective manner. They will also learn to guide couples through interactions that reflect vulnerability and responsiveness.
Using lecture, case material, role plays and film clips, this course will demonstrate the EFT approach to building intimate relationships characterized by security, authenticity, and interdependence.
This class qualifies for the Advanced Psychotherapy Certificate program.
