A Primer for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT): Cultivating Fitness and Resilience in Every Client – Susan M. Johnson |9780367548254|

A Primer for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is the essential guide to one of the most effective and scientifically validated models of modern psychotherapy. Written by Dr. Susan M. Johnson, the primary developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and T. Leanne Campbell, this book adapts the highly successful couple-based EFT model to the needs of the individual client. It offers a clear, compassionate, and structured approach to helping clients process their emotions, repair attachment injuries, and build lasting psychological resilience.

About the Book

A Primer for EFIT provides a roadmap for therapists to navigate the complex emotional landscapes of their clients. Rooted in attachment theory, the book demonstrates how to help individuals identify their negative emotional cycles and transform them into positive experiences of self and others. The text introduces the "EFIT Tango"—a specific five-move sequence that guides the therapist through every session. This Routledge publication is celebrated for its blend of deep clinical insight and practical, "how-to" techniques that can be applied to a wide range of disorders, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

What You’ll Learn / Why Read

A Primer for EFIT teaches you how to focus on the power of emotion as the primary agent of change in therapy. You will learn how to create a "safe haven" and "secure base" for your clients, allowing them to explore vulnerable feelings without becoming overwhelmed. Furthermore, the book provides detailed case studies and transcripts that illustrate how to use the EFIT Tango to restructure a client's internal sense of self. This manual is an indispensable resource for clinicians who want to move beyond talk therapy and facilitate deep, experiential healing.
