A continuation of the editors' pioneering work, Emotion in Psychotherapy, this volume makes a significant contribution to the development of a trans-theoretical approach to affective change events. Viewing emotional experience as an active ingredient in, rather than a by-product of the change process, the book explores the ramifications of this understanding for the conduct of therapy. Included are detailed descriptions of therapist-client interactions as well as clinical transcripts that vividly illustrate the change proccess. |

| Publisher Description: This influential volume provides a comprehensive introduction to emotionally focused therapy (EFT): its theoretical foundations, techniques, and clinical practice. EFT is a structured approach to couple therapy that integrates intrapsychic and interpersonal perspectives to help couples create new, more satisfying interactional patterns. Since the original publication of this book, EFT has been implemented and tested with growing numbers of couples in a wide range of settings. The authors, who codeveloped the approach, illuminate the power of emotional experience in relationships and in the process of therapeutic change. The book is richly illustrated with case examples and session transcripts. |
