Text of the abstract

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is known to be one of the most effective, experiential and empirically validated couple interventions, that is well used in North-America and in some European and Asian countries. This short-term approach uses nine steps in a structured way to modify the distressed couples’ destructive emotional responses and interaction patterns with the power of emotion. The first step of becoming a certified EFT therapist is to complete the 4-day intensive externship program. The first EFT externship in Hungary was held in October 2016.
There has been a wealth of studies to research that EFT has been successfully applied to different types of population and has also been well used to address couples’ distress complicated with a variety of problems. However, despite the number of research, there has been none focusing on the effects of EFT training on the therapists until Montagno and her colleagues’ study in 2011.
Our study investigated the short-term effects of the first 4-day EFT externship training held in Hungary. This externship training was built up of several training blocks, focusing on different domains, such as literature review, visual information, live session experience, role playing, video trainings and practical information.
Our research is a replication of Montagno and her colleagues’ study 1 (2011) with the exclusion of one questionnaire and with minor changes to adapt it to Hungarian circumstances. This study is conducted of a baseline and a post test that were taken before and after the externship. We hypothesized that similarly to the previous study, the Hungarian sample will also experience professional and personal changes after the training.
