A mixed effects model was used to examine within- and between-individual variability. Men and women were modeled separately. A series of two-level multilevel models of change were examined, where Time is Level 1 and Individual is Level 2. Findings were mixed. There was no significant relationship between therapist warmth toward wife and wife warmth toward husband; however, there was a significant relationship between therapist warmth toward husband and husband warmth toward wife. Findings demonstrated that 62.9% of the variance in husband warmth toward wife was accounted for by therapist warmth to husband across time in therapy. Specifically, therapist warmth toward husband was significantly and positively related to husband warmth toward wife over time in therapy. Clinical implications and...

One hundred twenty-four clinicians answered open-ended questions regarding changes brought about by EFT training including the integration of EFT into previous models of therapy, shifts in the actual practice of therapy, and growth in personal relationships outside of therapy. Participants described specific, welcome changes in their approach to therapy (slowing down, focusing on emotion, demonstrating more empathy and caring), as well as the difficulty of learning a structured, emotionally focused approach to couple work that required major changes for experienced therapists. In addition, participants highlighted unexpected yet positive growth in their most significant family and friend relationships. Results from the study suggest that the process of learning and practicing a model of therapy, EFT in this case, can play an important role in a therapist’s professional and personal development.
