This treatment manual provides mental health professionals with
guidelines for implementing emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT), an
exciting new intervention in which caregivers play a pivotal role in
their loved ones’ treatment. Initially created to treat eating
disorders, the model has evolved into a transdiagnostic approach that
can be applied to any emotion- or behavior-based disorder with various
relationship dynamics across the lifespan, including parent–child
relationships (even if the child is an adult) and romantic
partnerships. The authors describe how to teach caregivers advanced
skills for supporting their loved ones through emotion and behavior
coaching. Therapists will also learn strategies for healing and
strengthening the relationship between the caregiver and his or her
loved one to optimize supportive efforts. Techniques for processing
caregivers’ emotional blocks are also explored, as are methods for
clinicians to work through their own blocks via supervision. Vivid
case examples illustrate the implementation of EFFT in a wide variety
of realistic scenarios. Clinical handouts are included in the
appendices and are also available online:
