Family Matters Marriage and family is a very important aspect in terms of psychotherapy, and the results obtained from this therapy are amongst the most documented areas. Due to the fact that in most cases both the parents and the children will be involved, the variety in terms of treatment approaches is very big. EFT or Emotionally Focused Therapy, is one of the most effective alternatives for families and couples. This approach works mainly by changing the patterns of responses in order to create a secure bond in the couple. After a few years of marriage and after many unresolved issues, couples usually start to blame one another for the things that have not gone as smooth as they would have liked, this kind of therapy addresses these situations and stops little by little the blaming and withdrawing patterns.
