COMMUNITY WORKSHOP
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with Couples Affected by Trauma: A Primer
Often regarded as “challenging,” clinical practice with couples can be both rewarding and effective when informed by best practices, research and theory. This workshop offers an introductory overview of Emotionally Focused therapy (EFT), an empirically supported attachment-based theory developed by Susan Johnson. Using a strengths perspective and incorporating an anti-oppressive lens, assessment and basic interventions of EFT will be presented. This interactive workshop will also provide opportunities for attendees to practice skills from the model which is designed to advance participant comfort and curiosity.
2 free CE credits are available to social workers licensed in Massachusetts. If you would like to receive CE credits, please provide your license number at registration. Paperwork for LMHCs who would like to apply for credit from their licensing board will be provided at the event. Contact Deb Berglin at dberglin@bu.edu if you have any questions.
