Emotionally Focused Therapy with African American Couples: Love Heals is an essential guide that integrates emotionally focused therapy (EFT) with cultural humility. It provides a pathbreaking, evidence-based model of couple work that reinforces the bond between partners in the face of race-based distress. Guillory explores and brings a deep understanding of the legacy of racial trauma and cultural strengths of African American couples by using real-life case studies. The chapters in the book focus on several key clinical issues in the field such as communication problems, anxiety, infidelity, depression and porn. Each case study is enhanced by a consultation with EFT master therapist, Sue Johnson. It is an essential text for students and mental health professionals looking to provide culturally competent therapeutic interventions. It will also appeal to psychologists, mental health workers, social workers, marriage and family therapists, religious leaders.
