The Practice of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy: Creating Connection

Since its original publication in 1996, this volume has been a helpful guide to therapists in the practice of emotionally focused therapy.

A new section covers the growth of couples therapy as a field and its overall relevance to the mental health field, accompanied by coverage of how recent research into the nature of marital distress is consonant with EFT.
