TL;DR: Hierarchical regression models demonstrated that late emotional processing both mediated the relationship between clients' early emotional processing capacity and outcome and was the sole emotional-processing variable that independently predicted improvement.

TL;DR: Results indicated that experiential therapy achieved clinically meaningful gains for most clients and significantly greater improvement than the psychoeducational group on all outcome measures.

TL;DR: In this article, a within-subjects design in which couples acted as their own controls, assessment was completed at four times: at the time of intial contact, after an eight-week waiting period, after eight sessions of Emotionally Focused Marital Therapy, and at an 8-week follow-up.

TL;DR: Greenberg and Goldman as discussed by the authors explored the foundations of emotionally focused therapy for couples and expanded its framework to focus more intently on the development of the self and the relationship system through the promotion of self-soothing and othersoothing; 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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the process of change in the best sessions of Emotionally Focused Marital Therapy (EFT) and found that higher levels of experiencing and more autonomous and affiliative interactions characterized "best" sessions of couples who were successful in therapy.
