Summary

There is currently no single resource that complies the various applications to the many clinical populations being served by EFT today. The EFT Casebook fills that void as a substantive reference for clinicians, students, professors, and supervisors using and teaching EFT. Each chapter utilizes a hands-on case study approach with concrete guidance and illustrations for the adaptation and application of EFT with specific treatment populations. This casebook is the perfect practical resource for professionals and students looking for examples of specific theoretical, conceptual, and treatment applications of EFT.
