Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy With Trauma Survivors: Strengthening Attachment Bonds

"Among those to whom the book is likely to appeal are therapists working within a systems or feminist framework, as the book emphasizes the healing power of interpersonal connectedness for trauma survivors. Further, for those couples therapists using the cognitive-behavioural approach...this book is probably essential reading as that approach draws heavily on EFT [Emotion-Focused Therapy]."--"Canadian Psychology"
"A significant addition to the trauma treatment literature....Dr, Johnson has a gift for clinical description: her case examples are vivid, interesting, and tackle complex issues. Interventions are similarly detailed and well described....Recommended to all therapists working with couples where one or both members of the couple have suffered trauma."--"Journal of Trauma Practice"
"Johnson is widely recognized not only for her theoretical contributions to understanding couple attachment and therapy, but also for her achievements as a researcher committed to empirically evaluating both the process and outcome of couple therapy. She is an experienced clinician and a gifted writer. Individuals interested in adult attachment processes and the impact of trauma on either individual or relationship functioning, and clinicians committed to intervening with trauma survivors from either an individual or couple perspective, will find this book an invaluable resource."--"Relationship Research News"
"The text is a complete and thorough approach for working with some of our hardest and most heart wrenching cases."--"Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy"
"I found this book very readable and nicely put together. It will be a useful book for both clinicians and students. Itis a helpful beginning look at working with couples in which the echoes of trauma interferes with the creation of a secure attachment bond within the couple relationship."--"Pastoral Sciences"
