The field of couple therapy-one of the most widely sought and practiced modality of therapy-has been revolutionized by the emergence of attachment science in the 21st century. We now understand not only the centrality of close relationships for human health and wellbeing, but also that the key to a healthy happy relationship is a secure attachment bond. Emotionally Focused Therapy is an attachment-based approach that aims to help couples create a secure attachment bond. Several outcome studies have shown that EFT helps to not only alleviate relationship distress but individual co-morbidities as well, with positive follow-up effects. EFT appears to help couples not only improve their relationships but also access the optimal resilience and wellbeing secure attachment allows.
伴侣治疗领域——最广泛寻求和实践的治疗模式之一——在 21 世纪依恋科学的出现下发生了革命性变化。我们现在不仅了解到亲密关系对人类健康和幸福的重要性，还了解到健康幸福关系的关键是安全的依恋关系。情感焦点疗法是一种基于依恋的方法，旨在帮助夫妻建立安全的依恋关系。几项结果研究表明，EFT 不仅有助于缓解关系困扰，还有助于缓解个体共病，并且具有积极的后续效果。EFT 似乎不仅有助于夫妻改善他们的关系，还能帮助他们获得安全依恋所允许的最佳弹性和幸福感。
