Editorial Reviews

"As a certified EFT therapist/supervisor, I found this workbook very informative and useful, with numerous examples of client scenarios and clinical interventions. The exercise questions are both pertinent and stimulating. This workbook can serve as supplementary material for small group discussions, role-play practice, and homework assignments when training EFT therapists." - Ting Lui in Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy, Vol. 5, No.4.
