"Susan Johnson’s 15-year update of emotionally focused couple
therapy shows how powerful systematic research can be in developing
a great theory. This book is a must read for all therapists."John
Gottman, author of 8 Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime
of Love."In this remarkable book, Susan Johnson provides the
definitive summary of state-of-the-art practice in what is surely
now the most widely disseminated form of couple therapy. The
Practice of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy not only
comprehensively describes how to do emotionally focused couple
therapy, but also concisely summarizes the substantial evidence
about emotion and attachment upon which this approach is based and
the extensive research demonstrating its impact. This significantly
revised and expanded new edition of a classic book highlights the
many significant advances in this evidence-based approach since its
second edition. Speaking in a voice that is accessible and
clinically meaningful to couple therapists, beautifully written,
and filled with compelling clinical examples, this book should be
an essential part of every couple therapist's library."Jay L.
Lebow, Ph.D., ABPP, senior scholar and clinical professor, Family
Institute at Northwestern, Evanston, IL
