The Practice of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy 2nd Edition by Susan M. Johnson, 9780415945684

This book has been a useful resource for therapists practicing emotionally centered therapy since it was first published in 1996. The numerous developments in the field of couples therapy are covered in this second edition, which also includes new material on applying EFT to treat depression and PTSD as well as updated research findings connected to therapeutic intervention. The development of couples therapy as a field and its general applicability to the realm of mental health are covered in a new section, along with how EFT aligns with new studies on the nature of marital unhappiness. A piece on EFT and feminism and another on cultural competence for EFT therapists are additional new additions.
