Pittsburgh Community for EFT - Introduction to Emotionally Focused Family Therapy - 3 CE Credits
EFFT is an attachment-based intervention which conceptualizes family difficulties as attachment dilemmas. For example, children's misbehavior can be understood within the context of the parent-child relationship and seen as bids for connection that become scrambled and misread. Parents' overwhelm and isolation often results in reactivity that can be softened when the "caregiver establishes greater confidence in the availability of another adult." In this 3 hour workshop, participants will examine the EFFT interventions and see the model in action through prerecorded video sessions. Therapists who work with children will be inspired by the power of secure bonds within the family that foster resilience for children.
