Emotionally Focused Therapy is the evidenced-based structured approach to treating relational distress in couples and families. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT provides a well researched road map for helping couples and families move from distress to recovery. As noted by the International Center for Excellence in EFT, research studies find that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements. In fact, recent brain imaging studies have shown remarkable brain changes among couples who have successfully completed EFT therapy. The model is based on the science of human love and attachment. Specifically, it draws upon the work of John Bowlby and attachment theory; the traditions of humanistic and experiential psychology as developed by Carl Rogers; and the developing fields of brain and neuroscience.
Based on the neuroscience of adult love and bonding, EFT is validated by 35 years of scientific research. A substantial body of research demonstrates the effectiveness of EFT. Studies find that more than 7 out of 10 couples treated with EFT move from distress to recovery and approximately 9 out of 10 show significant improvements.
