Movie Nights 2024 (free of charge): Monday 22.01.24: Joanne Dolhanty: Emotion-Focused Skills Training (EFST)

This year, as part of the IEFT, we are once again offering intriguing Movie Nights. They take place online on Monday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. We feature both published and unpublished EFT videos, as well as videos on Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT-C according to Greenberg & Goldman, and "Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy" according to Sue Johnson). Additionally, we showcase videos of other emotion-based therapeutic approaches (e.g. "Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Therapy" AEDP, "Affect Phobia Therapy" APT, "Intensive Short Term Psychodynamic Therapy" ISTDP, "Focusing"). Following the videos, we have time for discussion. The discussion can take place in English, German, or French, depending on the participants.

Target Group

Primarily, this offer is intended for graduates or current participants in the two-year basic training programs in EFT and EFT for Couples. All other interested individuals are also welcome to register and will be placed on the participant list if spots are available.

Content

Joanne Dolhanty (2023). Emotion Focused Skills Training (EFST) (APA). In this session, Dr. Joanne Dolhanty works with a mother who is experiencing emotional distress due to her daughter's difficulty with medicine compliance. The client explores her daughter's history with seizures and discusses her daughter's difficulty taking medication. Dr. Dolhanty explores the client's frustration and powerlessness with the lack of compliance. Using empty-chair work, Dr. Dolhanty encourages the client to enact certain discussions with her daughter. She also encourages the client to enact her perception of her daughter's reaction. At the end of the session, they reflect on the reactions to the empty-chair work.
