Research shows that couples who experience Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) therapy show that 70-75% move from distress to recovery, and 90% show a significant improvement in their relationship quality.
Strengths of Emotionally Focused Therapy
-
EFT is based on clear, explicit conceptualizations of marital distress and adult love. These conceptualizations are supported by empirical research on the nature of marital distress and adult attachment.
-
EFT is collaborative and respectful of clients combining experiential Rogerian techniques with structural systemic interventions.
-
Change strategies and interventions are specified.
-
Key moves and moments in the change process have been mapped into nine steps and three change events.
-
EFT has been validated by over 20 years of empirical research. There is also research on the change processes and predictors of success.
-
EFT has been applied to many different kinds of problems and populations.
Goals of Emotionally Focused Therapy
-
To expand and re-organize key emotional responses – the music of the attachment dance.
-
To create a shift in partners’ interactional positions and initiate new cycles of interaction.
-
To foster the creation of a secure bond between partners.
