Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) for Anxiety: It’s About Attachment!

In this Webinar, we will explore the clinical applications of attachment science in individual therapy according to the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model developed by Dr. Susan Johnson. An overview of attachment as it applies to clinical case conceptualization in will lead into an exploration of the structure of the EFT model and the specific interventions applied in work with adult individuals with anxiety. This will feature detailed explanations of the therapeutic moves that comprise what is known as the “EFT Tango,” along with clinical vignettes.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) for Anxiety: It’s About Attachment!

Dans ce webinaire, nous explorerons les applications cliniques de la science de l'attachement en thérapie individuelle centrée sur l’émotion (TCÉ-I) développé par la Dre Susan Johnson. Un aperçu de l'attachement tel qu'il s'applique à la conceptualisation de cas cliniques mènera à une exploration de la structure du modèle TCÉ et des interventions spécifiques appliquées dans le travail auprès d’adultes souffrant d'anxiété. Il s'agira d'explications détaillées sur les mouvements thérapeutiques qui composent ce que l'on appelle le « tango à la TCÉ », ainsi que de vignettes cliniques.
