This innovative clinician’s guide shows how emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is ideally suited to target core elements of recovery from common impacts of chronic, cumulative, or acute trauma. EFT pioneer Susan M. Johnson and her collaborator and leading EFT trainer T. Leanne Campbell provide a clear intervention framework and numerous vivid clinical examples illustrating their attachment-informed, experiential approach. Using dance--in particular, the tango--as a metaphor for what happens in session, the book takes therapists move by move through the three stages of EFT with individuals or couples affected by the echoes of trauma. Chapters conclude with reflection questions, learning exercises, and recaps of key ideas, enhancing the volume’s practical utility.
