Emotion Theory

This chapter provides an overview of the theory and practice of emotion-focused therapy (EFT), while giving special attention to the neuropsychological perspectives that help explain this approach to treatment. The authors elaborate how emotion theory is a fundamental part of the approach and discuss how this theory informs the treatment principles or ways of understanding emotional processing. They discuss how EFT focuses on accessing and utilizing adaptive emotions to promote transformation of maladaptive emotion structures and show how this promotes changing painful memories from the past by a process of memory reconsolidation. In addition, they refer to the outcome and process research of this approach and outline the principles of clinical practice.

And Task

This chapter discusses ethical principles underlying Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). It shows that the six intervention principles of EFT—empathic attunement, therapeutic bond, task collaboration, differential emotional processing, emotional deepening through work on therapeutic tasks, and self-development—are grounded in the more basic ethical requirements of psychotherapy and counseling, in particular beneficence and non-maleficence. There is an overall tension in EFT between providing a productive therapeutic relationship and task facilitation. As examples, this chapter discusses three specific key ethical dilemmas of EFT: (a) necessary emotion arousal versus risks on the path to core pain, (b) transient emotional dysregulation versus protection of the self, and (c) freedom to choose versus process-guiding or control. It illustrates with clinical examples, and discusses research implications.
