The field of family therapy has been significantly influenced by the research of John Gottman and the development of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EFT is a short-term, structured approach to couples therapy with research studies finding that 70-73% of couples move from distress to recovery and 86% show significant improvements when treated with EFT. EFT is collaborative and respectful of clients combining experiential Rogerian techniques with structural, systemic interventions that extend the ideas of attachment theory to romantic relationships. Advances in the study of emotional regulation support EFT''s use of emotion as a primary source of information to the self and to others about needs and motives as a primary route to connecting with attachment figures. Using the theory and techniques of EFT and having the knowledge of the Gottman research can help aid therapists in effectively treating couples. Also, individual issues may arise in the couples context and can be treated using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and/or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
