Böcker av Susan M. Johnson

Drawing on cutting-edge research on adult attachment--and providing an innovative roadmap for clinical practice--Susan M. Johnson argues that psychotherapy is most effective when it focuses on the healing power of emotional connection. The primary developer of emotionally focused therapy (EFT) for couples, Johnson now extends her attachment-based approach to individuals and families. The volume shows how EFT aligns perfectly with attachment theory as it provides proven techniques for treating anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Each modality (individual, couple, and family therapy) is covered in paired chapters that respectively introduce key concepts and present an in-depth case example. Special features include instructive end-of-chapter exercises and reflection questions.

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.

This book provides a theoretical framework and a practical model of intervention for distressed couples whose relationships are affected by the echoes of trauma. Combining attachment theory, trauma research, and emotionally focused therapeutic techniques, Susan M. Johnson guides the clinician in modifying the interactional patterns that maintain traumatic stress and fostering positive, healing relationships among survivors and their partners. In-depth case material brings to life the process of assessment and treatment with couples coping with the impact of different kinds of trauma, including childhood abuse, serious illness, and combat experiences. The concluding chapter features valuable advice on therapist self-care.
