Emotionally Focused Family Therapy
Description
Examine Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) as an attachment-based, short-term, experiential, and systemic model. Learn to help family members create secure connections by attending to their emotional experiences. EFFT seeks to reduce problematic issues by helping families to be more emotionally accessible, responsive, and engaged. Gain an introduction to the major concepts of EFFT, attachment theory, and the 3 stages and 9 steps of EFFT. Emphasis is placed on the clinical skills and interventions utilized in EFFT. The course also highlights the key differences between EFT for couples (EFCT) and EFT for families (EFFT). A variety of methods will be used to enrich the teaching and learning process, including didactic teaching, case studies, videos, small group discussion, readings, interactive exercises, and reflective journaling. While this course may be used as an elective for the Advanced Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy Program, it does not lead to certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy with ICEEFT. This course is typically recognized by CAMFT and AAMFT as a couple/marriage and family therapy or studies course.
