Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) proposes that emotions have an adaptive potential that, if activated, can help clients change. This view of emotion is based on the belief that emotion, at its core, is an innate and adaptive system that has evolved to help us survive and thrive.
Clients are helped in therapy to better identify, experience, explore, make sense of, transform and flexibly manage their emotions. As a result, clients become more skilful in accessing the important information and meanings about themselves and their world that emotions contain, as well as become more skilful in using that information to live vitally and adaptively.
Robert Elliott, Ph.D., received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles and taught clinical psychology at the University of Toledo (Ohio) for nearly 30 years; there, in collaboration with Leslie Greenberg and Laura Rice, he developed Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).
He is currently Professor of Counselling in the Counselling Unit at the University of Strathclyde, where he directs its research clinic and teaches counselling research and EFT. His central interest is the change process in humanistic psychotherapies, particularly as experienced by clients or expressed in language. He is co-author of Facilitating Emotional Change (1993), Learning Process-experiential Psychotherapy (2004), Research Methods in Clinical Psychology (2002), and Developing and Enhancing Research Capacity in Counselling and Psychotherapy (2010), as well as more than 140 journal articles and book chapters.
