“…Some years later, Couture-Lalande and colleagues replicated these findings in a task analysis of EFT for couples in which the female partner had survived breast cancer (Couture-Lalande et al, 2007). Once again, the Experiencing Scale and the SASB served as measures of client experiencing and the quality of their in-session interactions.…”

“…The same holds true for the integration of EFT for couples into treatment regimens for people suffering from a variety of physical illnesses. Although there has been some preliminary outcome (Naaman, 2008) and process (Couture-Lalande et al, 2007) research on the effects of EFT for couples in which the female partner had survived breast cancer, this line of inquiry is in its infancy. Preliminary testing of the effects of EFT on the relationships and the health of patients with cardiac disease (Morin-Turmel & Greenman, 2012) and diabetes is underway.…”

“…One of the few exceptions to this is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (Johnson, 2004;Johnson & Greenberg, 1985), an approach to couple therapy with substantial empirical support, evidence of lasting treatment effects (Cloutier, Manion, Gordon Walker, & Johnson, 2002;Halchuk, Makinen, & Johnson, 2010), and a growing body of process research (e.g., Bradley & Furrow, 2004;Couture-Lalande, Greenman, Naaman, & Johnson, 2007;Johnson & Greenberg, 1988) that illustrates some of the behaviors and responses of both clients and therapists that appear to be related to positive treatment outcomes. In light of the pressing need for a compass to help orient couple therapists, the primary aim of this paper is to elucidate the therapeutic processes involved in the successful implementation of EFT for couples.…”

The focus of this article is on the link among theory, process, and outcome in the practice of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. We describe the EFT model of change and the EFT perspective on adult love as the reflection of underlying attachment processes. We outline the manner in which theory and research inform EFT interventions. This leads into a detailed review of the literature on the processes of change in EFT. We highlight the client responses and therapist operations that have emerged from process research and their relation to treatment outcomes. We discuss the implications of this body of research for clinical practice and training.

“…Les études s'intéressent timidement aux types de relation dans le couple et en relève deux principaux à l'oeuvre durant le cancer qui dépendent essentiellement du « lien d'attachement » [27] des deux partenaires : le type trop cohésif ou l'attachement hyperactif ; le type rejetant ou l'attachement hypoactif.…”

L’impact du cancer pelvien sur la sexualité et le couple: ce que nous apporte la littérature

Cette revue de la littérature psychologique a été menée afin de recenser les idées théoriques et la méthodologie actuelles au sujet de l'impact du cancer pelvien sur la relation de couple et la sexualité de la femme. Cette étude décèle une définition lacunaire de la sexualité qui fait fi des aspects érotiques et sensuels sous-tendus par des mécanismes psychologiques et socioculturels entraînant un biais pour la recherche. Le cancer pelvien et ses traitements ont des conséquences anatomophysiologiques entraînant un préjudice fonctionnel objectif de la sexualité. Pourtant, les études qui abordent ce sujet nous mettent sur la voie de problématiques au-delà du somatique. L'impact du cancer sur la sexualité déclenche une fantasmatique particulière et réveille des croyances et mythes autour de la féminité. Corps réel et corps imaginaire sont touchés par les traitements anticancéreux qui s'inscrivent sur un organe hautement symbolique, là où s'incarnent le devenir femme et le devenir mère. Le choc de l'annonce et le traumatisme du cancer convoquent des facteurs déterminant les capacités d'adaptation de la patiente et de son conjoint, et déclenchent une symptomatologie psychopathologique spécifique. Le couple est décrit comme un support actif pour la femme, mais également comme une des sphères les plus impactées. Les dysfonctions sexuelles du couple, fréquentes dans cette situation, sont induites indirectement par les répercussions psychiques des conséquences physiques de la maladie. Le fonctionnement du couple est en général exacerbé et des remaniements de la représentation psychique du couple ont lieu pour la femme et son conjoint. La sexualité du couple est le symptôme de sa dynamique, elle-même soumise aux états psychiques des deux partenaires, modifiés par le cancer. Mots clés Cancer pelvien · Sexualité féminine · CoupleAbstract This psychological literature review has been completed in order to make a census about actual theorical ideas and methodology in pelvic cancer impact on couple relationship and female sexuality. This study reveals an incomplete definition of sexuality, which flouts the erotic and sensual aspects underlain by psychological and sociocultural mechanisms leading to a bias for the research. Pelvic cancer and its treatments have anatomophysiological consequences leading to an objective functional damage of sexuality. Though, studies on this subject are guiding us to problems beyond somatic. Pelvic cancer impact on sexuality causes specific phantasms and awakes myths and beliefs about feminity. Real body and imaginary body are hit by treatments against cancer aiming at a highly symbolic organ, where becoming a woman and a mother begins. The diagnosis shock and the cancer's traumatism both call factors determining the adaptation abilities of the female patient and her husband and trigger a specific psychopathological symptomatology. The couple is described as an active support but also as one of the most impacted spheres. The couple sexual dysfunctions, frequent in this situation, are indirectly in...

“…In the context of work with couples, EFCT is an evidence-based approach, supported by a number of outcome and process studies (e.g., Bradley & Furrow, 2004;Cloutier, Manion, Gordon Walker, & Johnson, 2002;Couture-Lalande, Greenman, Naaman, & Johnson, 2007;Halchuk, Makinen, & Johnson, 2010;, and providing a clear map of the therapeutic processes of change.…”

Objective: Face-to-face experiential work with emotions is effective, but it remains unclear what the feasibility of teletherapeutic work with emotions is. The current Covid-19 worldwide situation represents an opportunity for psychotherapists to test new ways of working with clients, including from an emotion-focused and emotionally focused perspective. Methods: The present brief report describes a clinical experience based on 6 weeks, so far, of telepsychotherapeutic work focused on emotions via online tools, during the Covid-19 partial confinement in Switzerland. Results: We found a certain feasibility of remote work with emotions in psychotherapy, for individual clients, and for couples. Specific challenges represent relationship and contextual factors (clear communication, using tone of voice, regular check ins, setting up a clear frame, technical aspects of communication, the Self of the therapist), accessing and deepening emotions and managing dysregulated experience and interpersonal escalation. Discussion: Based on this initial clinical experience, we propose that integrative experiential practice partially delivered via a computer screen be studied in controlled settings by psychotherapy research in the future.
