Emotion-focused therapy: An overview

Öz:
As a result of developments in the understanding of the role of emotions in human functioning and in the psychological helping process, emotion is regarded as centrally important in the experience of self, in both adaptive and maladaptive functioning, and in the process of therapeutic change. In spite of this, working with emotions in psychological counseling/therapy still remains a major challenge for many practitioners. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is an empirically supported and experiential treatment that integrates elements of Person-Centered and Gestalt Therapy practice with modern emotion theory and a dialectical-constructivist meta-theory. Over time, EFT has proven to be an effective and practical approach that can be applied to both individual as well as couple’s therapy. This paper summarizes the major tenets of EFT, the application process, and a case discussion from an EFT standpoint.
