CNS-561 Emotionally Focused Therapy With Couples And Families: Creating Secure Attachment Bonds

Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), a contemporary empirically validated approach, offers a comprehensive theory of adult love and attachment, as well as a process for healing distressed relationships. It recognizes that relationship distress results from a perceived threat to basic adult needs for safety, security, and closeness in intimate relationships. This course will thoroughly explore the theory and application of EFT with couples and families. Emotional engagement and attachment theory will be compared/contrasted to a Christian anthropology of being created as relational beings. This elective is open to all students who have completed Practicum (CNS-550) and are currently enrolled in Internship, or by permission of the instructor.
