"A lucid treatise on psychotherapy that will prove useful to students as well as experienced practitioners. Drawing deftly from the wisdom of such pioneers as John Bowlby, Carl Rogers, and Harry Stack Sullivan—and from significant empirical research in emotional and interpersonal phenomena—Johnson has written an outstanding work that will have an impact on our field for a great many years."—Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, Stanford University

"This book is a magnum opus that finally gives therapists a practical and very readable guide to using EFT principles across psychotherapy modalities. Johnson has made a valuable contribution that can guide the therapist toward a theoretically integrated and powerful method of doing therapy with a wide variety of clinical cases. A 'must read.'"—John M. Gottman, PhD, The Gottman Institute, Seattle, Washington

"In this wise and fascinating book, Johnson combines her deep knowledge of attachment theory and research, her well-researched approach to therapy, and her many years of clinical and teaching experience to demonstrate how best to conceptualize and conduct successful, life-changing therapy with individuals, couples, and families. The book is true to the scientific literature, skillful in comparing EFT to other therapeutic approaches, beautifully written, and rich with engaging, moving case examples. It will captivate clinical professionals, graduate students, and anyone who wants to understand the central role of emotions and close relationships in all our lives."—Phillip R. Shaver, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of California, Davis
