Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic,
evidence-based form of psychotherapy/counselling that integrates person-centred
and gestalt therapies, with particular relevance to working with depression,
trauma, and anxiety difficulties. It has gained international recognition
through the work of Les Greenberg, Laura Rice, Robert Elliott, Jeanne Watson,
Rhonda Goldman, Sandra Paivio, Antonio Pascual-Leone and others. The Counselling Unit at the University of
Strathclyde is again pleased to offer Level One professional training in this
approach to qualified counsellors and psychotherapists (Postgraduate
Diploma/MSc Level or above).
Now in its tenth year at the University of
Strathclyde, this successful, four-day Level One EFT training programme will
provide participants with a grounding in the theory and skills required to work
more effectively with emotion in psychotherapy. Participants will receive
in-depth skills training through a combination of brief lectures, video
demonstrations, live modelling, case discussions, and supervised role-playing
practice. We begin with an overview of EFT Emotion Theory, including basic
principles and the role of emotion and emotional awareness in function and
dysfunction; this will be illustrated by Focusing-oriented exercises.
Differential intervention based on specific process markers will be
demonstrated. Videos of evidence based methods for evoking and exploring
emotion schemes, and for dealing with overwhelming emotions, puzzling emotional
reactions, painful self-criticism, and emotional injuries from past
relationships will be presented.
Participants will be trained in moment-by-moment
attunement to emotion, and the use of methods for dialoguing with aspects or
configurations of self and imagined significant others in an empty chair. This
training will provide therapists from person-centred, psychodynamic,
cognitive-behavioural and related backgrounds an opportunity to develop their
therapeutic skills and interests, and provides the first step toward
certification as an EFT therapist.
- The course could be taken for continuing professional education credit or as part of the MSc Counselling Course at the University of Strathclyde.
