This book is the most authoritative introduction to the theory and practice of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). Starting with the main theory and basic concepts, it then guides the reader through the phases of therapy from beginning to end. It describes the adaptation of the approach to different client populations, presents a summary of process research, and outlines the ways in which EFT therapists monitor their practice. Finally, the three main scales for monitoring and evaluating EFT practice are presented.

Each chapter of the book includes case studies and session transcripts, sections for further reading, and reflection exercises that help enhance understanding of the approach.

The Greek edition includes the latest (revised and enriched) version of the Person-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy Scale, as well as a glossary of Greek-English and English-Greek terms.
