A practical manual for the emotion-focused treatment (EFT) of depression, it covers theory, case formulation, treatment, and research in a way to make this complex form of therapy accessible to all readers. The authors discuss the nature of depression and its treatment, examine the role of emotion, and present a schematic model of depression.

Methods described in this book can help clients to 'arrive at', or fully experience, their painful maladaptive emotions, and then 'leave' these emotions by accessing new, adaptive emotions. These methods include helping clients sit with painful feelings, access bodily felt experience, and articulate the meaning of an emotion.

Emotion-Focused Therapy provides an introduction to the theory, history, research, and practice of this emotion-centered, humanistic approach to psychotherapy.

Gives readers in-depth analysis of what occurs in therapy as practiced according to three different orientations: cognitive, emotion-focused, and psychoanalytic. The book grants readers access to the authors' insights about how the three approaches work in practice, offering a rare look into the minds of three therapists as they explore and comment on the therapy demonstration sessions.

Examines the role of affective processes in intimate relationships from the perspectives of various psychotherapeutic traditions. Uses case examples to demonstrate how therapists can address emotion in cognitive-behavioral, systemic, humanistic, experiential, and dynamic ego-analytic approaches. Di

In emotionally focused couples therapy, intrapsychic and interpersonal perspectives are combined, interactional positions are assumed to be maintained by strong, primary, emotional responses and by the way interactions are structured and organized. This book demonstrates the power of emotional experience in relationships.

Investigates the role of emotion in the development and maintenance of psychological problems, and in effecting psychological change. The authors examine emotion as it is conceptualized and used in three of the most widely practiced approaches today - psychodynamic, cognitive behaviour, and emotion-focused psychotherapy.

The therapeutic relationship is essential to positive outcomes of psychotherapy. Here the authors argue that therapeutic presence is the fundamental underlying quality of the therapeutic relationship and, hence, effective therapy, and also provide a therapeutic presence theory of relationship based on research and clinical wisdom.
