Emotion Focused Therapy for Youth: The Clinical Manual

This edited collection is the first book of its kind to apply the theory, research, and teaching of Emotion Focused Therapy to youth and their families, equipping clinicians and students with the practical skills to facilitate individual, dyadic, and parent sessions confidently.　

Mirisse Foroughe is joined by an impressive group of internationally acclaimed contributors, including clinician-scientists and scholars, as well as the developer of Emotion Focused Therapy, Dr. Leslie Greenberg. This clinical manual offers a trauma-informed perspective on how to apply EFT for primary care of youth as well as more complex mental health difficulties. The manual begins with an incredibly user-friendly overview of core EFT principles before moving onto clinical applications with individual youth, parents, and dyads. The contributors then address how EFT can be implemented with specific client populations, such as youth with anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder, before examining important considerations that clinicians should bear in mind when working with parent and youth trauma and complex clinical presentations.　

Interweaving a trauma-informed perspective throughout, the manual is filled with practical summary tables, helpful tips, and eye-catching illustrations to ensure it is useful for students and experienced therapists. Emotion Focused Therapy for Youth is essential reading for marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, and other mental health professionals working with youth and their families.
