کتاب انسجام نداشت. متن لابه‌لای مثال‌ها و تمرین‌ها گم می‌شد. ارتباط برقرار نکردم.

Be prepared to spend tons of time reading, answering multiple choice questions, hunting down answers in the back of this clumsy oversized book. It is too much of a pretty good thing. Needs reworking and a good editor to trim it down and make it more user friendly. It has more words in it than the book Becoming an Emotionally Focued Couple Therapist and duplicates lots that is in that book. They need to redo this and its companion as a set. Right now it is only the covers that go together.

Save your time and take a workshop.

This gets a 5 because I've never seen a resource like it. It takes the material from Creating Connection, breaks it down into bite-size chunks, and provides a host of exercises to flesh out and practice the concepts. Super useful for individual learning but also teaching the material.

I am not going to lie, this book is hard work. I took it in little chunks while feeling like my brain was on overdrive. There was a whole new counseling language to learn to start with. This was followed by a lot of very intensive exercises that thoroughly checked your understanding of the chapter. It took me more than a year to complete this book and I will still have to go back and review concepts to retain them. However, the content is outstanding. If you are able to use the processes in therapy, there is such a hope for change and understanding.

I have enjoyed learning how to do this. At first the workbook process was difficult for me to use. But once I got used to it, it helped me interact with the material. I'm no expert, but I have been able to incorporate the concepts into my practice.

I thought I might be able to transfer these couple centric skills to individual training as this book does seem pretty awesome as I glimpsed through it, but I do think that while thatt might be possible it would be much better to look into an individual centric book if that is your goal as it is mine

EFT is an amazing theoretical background to work with clients from diverse populations. I have written an interesting essay and plan to continue to incorporate Sue Johnson's and others observations into my work and thinking.

Got what I needed out of this and will continue to
reference it in my work. I found some of the dialogue to go on a bit but for the most part it is helpful to illustrate the concepts

Outstanding book for anyone working in Couples Therapy. A must-read.
