In Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy: The Dynamics of Emotion, Love, and Power, authors Leslie S. Greenberg and Rhonda N. Goldman explore the foundations of emotionally focused therapy for couples. They expand its framework to focus more intently on the development of the self and the relationship system through the promotion of self-soothing and other-soothing; to deal with unmet needs both from the client's adulthood and childhood; and to work more explicitly with emotions, specifically fear, anxiety, shame, power, joy, and love. The authors discuss the affect regulation involved in three major motivational systems central to couples therapy attachment, identity, and attraction and clarify emotions and motivations in the dominance dimension of couples' interactions. Written with practitioners and graduate students in mind, the authors use a rich variety of case material to demonstrate how working with emotions can facilitate change in couples and, by extension, in all situations where people may be in emotional conflict with others. Greenberg and Goldman provide the tools needed to identify specific emotions and show the reader how to work with them to resolve conflict and promote bonding in couples therapy.

For those therapists studying Johnson's EFT, this book is an excellent complement to the EFT books published by Dr. Sue Johnson. After reading her books and taking some courses, I felt I still needed more information to understand the emotional dynamics in intimate relationships. I find it helpful to read about the same thing from multiple perspectives, so as to deepen and expand my understanding. This book absolutely serves that purpose and provides additional information and perspective on the topic of EFT.
Greenberg and Goldman do an excellent job in this book of describing the various components underlying individual positions in couples (emotion, affect regulation, motivation (both identity & attachment), interaction, culture, and gender) and discuss working with specific emotions. While I intend to stay true to Dr. Johnson's treatment model, this book has provided me with additional depth to enhance my ability to implement the EFT model.
