Emotionally Focused Family Therapy: Developing the Model

Abstract

Emotionally Focused Therapy is a model which combines attachment theory and systemic theory. This article is a transcript of a plenary given by Gail Palmer and Don Efron at a conference called the “EFT Summit” which was held in Ottawa in Spring, 2006. The authors discuss the development of Emotionally Focused Family Therapy and describe two cases from two quite diverse treatment settings.
