This study examined the process of learning Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) as reported by 122 EFT therapists and therapists-in-training. Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing their experiences of learning EFT, with particular emphasis on EFT theory, alliance, interventions, perceived impact on clients, and impact on self. Findings suggest that therapists are drawn to the attachment-based model of EFT, appreciate the EFT framework and structure, that clients endorse the usefulness of the model and that learning the model has contributed to personal healing and improved relationships for the trainees. Results also show that the transition to EFT from another model can be taxing and requires time, support, and additional supervision/training to increase comfort level and competency with EFT. Nevertheless, results also highlight that learning EFT can be a rewarding and worthwhile endeavor.
本研究调查了 122 名情绪聚焦夫妻治疗（EFT）治疗师和治疗师学员报告的 EFT 学习过程。参与者完成了一份在线问卷，评估他们学习 EFT 的经验，特别强调 EFT 理论、联盟、干预措施、对客户的感知影响以及对自我的影响。研究结果表明，治疗师被 EFT 的依恋模式所吸引，欣赏 EFT 的框架和结构，客户认可该模式的有用性，并且学习该模式有助于治疗师的个人疗愈和改善与客户的关系。结果还表明，从另一种模式过渡到 EFT 可能会很吃力，需要时间、支持和额外的监督/培训，以提高对 EFT 的舒适度和能力。然而，结果也强调了学习 EFT 是一项有益和值得的努力。
