Summary

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。

An artful， accessible， and profoundly helpful book on the use of Emotionally Focused Therapy （EFT）， which is a highly effective approach based on attachment theory。 I know that I will return to this book again and again in my career and my use of EFT with my clients - individuals， couples， and families。

I didn't get to read all of it， as it was just for a school paper。 But super good and I hope to reread and finish it all later。 I also hope to train in this modality as it really resonated with me。 I didn't get to read all of it， as it was just for a school paper。 But super good and I hope to reread and finish it all later。 I also hope to train in this modality as it really resonated with me。 。。。more

Emotion Focused Therapy is one of many attachment based psychotherapy models aimed at helping individuals， couples， and families better understand how their behaviors are adaptive， mediated by emotion， and are connected to others in their expression。 Sue Johnson， researcher and clinician/developer of EFT， comprehensively outlines attachment based models of psychotherapy， including EFIT （individual）， EFFT （families）， and EFT （couples）。 She is able to effectively communicate the ins and outs of at Emotion Focused Therapy is one of many attachment based psychotherapy models aimed at helping individuals， couples， and families better understand how their behaviors are adaptive， mediated by emotion， and are connected to others in their expression。 Sue Johnson， researcher and clinician/developer of EFT， comprehensively outlines attachment based models of psychotherapy， including EFIT （individual）， EFFT （families）， and EFT （couples）。 She is able to effectively communicate the ins and outs of attachment based models in a way that is readable to professional audiences。 Lay readers may find this difficult to read， and her book "Hold Me Tight" is a more appropriate recommendation。 。。。more

4。25/5I have been wanting to learn more about EFT for a while and was not disappointed。 Johnson provides a simple framework that makes a lot of sense based on my clinical experience。 I can see how this approach would be effective as it has been what I have experientially finding true in a lot of ways I also appreciated her honesty in comparing EFT to other models， even at one point saying another model has more research behind it at this point。 She is brilliant， humble， and yet practical。It was 4。25/5I have been wanting to learn more about EFT for a while and was not disappointed。 Johnson provides a simple framework that makes a lot of sense based on my clinical experience。 I can see how this approach would be effective as it has been what I have experientially finding true in a lot of ways I also appreciated her honesty in comparing EFT to other models， even at one point saying another model has more research behind it at this point。 She is brilliant， humble， and yet practical。It was more research heavy than I preferred as a practitioner， as I was hoping for a deeper dive in application。 It also is a bit too permissive in regards to unhealthy behaviors for my taste as well。On the whole， my interest in EFT is ever growing and I'm excited to learn more about it。 。。。more

"From the cradle to the grave， human beings are hardwired to seek not just social contact， but also physical and emotional proximity to special others who are deemed irreplaceable。 The longing for a 'felt sense' of connection to key others is primary in terms of the hierarchy of human goals and needs。" This was a valuable clinical book that offered actual transcripts of sessions of Emotionally-Focused Therapy。 I think it has already improved my practice and helped me to recognize the value of em "From the cradle to the grave， human beings are hardwired to seek not just social contact， but also physical and emotional proximity to special others who are deemed irreplaceable。 The longing for a 'felt sense' of connection to key others is primary in terms of the hierarchy of human goals and needs。" This was a valuable clinical book that offered actual transcripts of sessions of Emotionally-Focused Therapy。 I think it has already improved my practice and helped me to recognize the value of emotional experiencing while in session for lasting changes。 。。。more

Excellent resource for those seeking to practice therapy from an attachment perspective。

Lisa ，

If you want THE book on attachment and EFT this is it。 From the thorough overview of attachment theory to the infinitely practical chapters that show how to implement the EFT model with individuals， couples， and families。 And if you read nothing else， read chapter 10 which beautifully articulates our societal need for human connection and what we stand to lose as a society if we do not take this need seriously。

This book is a real game-changer for the field of psychotherapy。 Sue Johnson， leading couples therapist and researcher， brings her attention and insights to bear through the application of attachment theory to many of the problems therapists encounter in their work with clients。 Through this unifying theory of both intrasubjective experience and interpersonal relationships， Dr。 Johnson calls on us to look at presenting problems through an attachment lens。 Furthermore， she demonstrates how the ev This book is a real game-changer for the field of psychotherapy。 Sue Johnson， leading couples therapist and researcher， brings her attention and insights to bear through the application of attachment theory to many of the problems therapists encounter in their work with clients。 Through this unifying theory of both intrasubjective experience and interpersonal relationships， Dr。 Johnson calls on us to look at presenting problems through an attachment lens。 Furthermore， she demonstrates how the evidence-based， heavily researched couples therapy， Emotionally Focused Therapy， applies to individuals and families。 Ground breaking， eye opening， promising。。。 。。。more

The more we understand the science of attachment， the more we as helping professionals can target our interventions for treating clients with symptoms that more often that not arise from feeling disconnected from others and self。 Sue Johnson's latest book offers a good overview of attachment science as well as a map for providing attachment oriented interventions with individuals， couples， and families。 This book should be on the shelf of every helping professional！ The more we understand the science of attachment， the more we as helping professionals can target our interventions for treating clients with symptoms that more often that not arise from feeling disconnected from others and self。 Sue Johnson's latest book offers a good overview of attachment science as well as a map for providing attachment oriented interventions with individuals， couples， and families。 This book should be on the shelf of every helping professional！ 。。。more
