Description
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.
 
Johnson, the primary developer of emotionally focused therapy and a retired professor of clinical psychology, describes attachment theory as a comprehensive developmental perspective on personality and affect regulation and the implications of this theory for the general practice of psychotherapy. She outlines the links between attachment theory and the experiential humanistic model of intervention, using emotionally focused therapy as a guide, and presents an integrative approach to assessment and description of how insights from attachment apply to intervention in individual, couple, and family therapy, focusing on depression and anxiety. She discusses the principles and aspects of attachment theory, implications of attachment science for the general practice of psychotherapy, core emotionally focused therapy processes and interventions that set up transforming moments of change and progression into corrective experiences, and how change occurs in individual, couple, and family therapy, with chapters on key concepts and therapy in action for each setting.
