Heralded by the New York Times and Time as the couples therapy with the highest rate of success, Emotionally Focused Therapy works because it views the love relationship as an attachment bond.This idea, once controversial, is now supported by science, and has become widely popular among therapists around the world. In Hold Me Tight, Dr. Sue Johnson presents Emotionally Focused Therapy to the general public for the first time. Johnson teaches that the way to save and enrich a relationship is to reestablish safe emotional connection and preserve the attachment bond. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship-from "Recognizing the Demon Dialogue" to "Revisiting a Rocky Moment" -- and uses them as touch points for seven healing conversations.Through case studies from her practice, illuminating advice, and practical exercises, couples will learn how to nurture their relationships and ensure a lifetime of love.

The bestselling author of Hold Me Tight presents a revolutionary new understanding of why and how we love, based on cutting-edge research.Every day, we hear of relationships failing and questions of whether humans are meant to be monogamous. Love Sense presents new scientific evidence that tells us that humans are meant to mate for life. Dr. Johnson explains that romantic love is an attachment bond, just like that between mother and child, and shows us how to develop our "love sense" -- our ability to develop long-lasting relationships.Love is not the least bit illogical or random, but actually an ordered and wise recipe for survival. Love Sense covers the three stages of a relationship and how to best weather them; the intelligence of emotions and the logic of love; the physical and psychological benefits of secure love; and much more. Based on groundbreaking research, Love Sense will change the way we think about love.

Other new features are a section on EFT and feminism, as well as a section on cultural competence for the EFT therapist.Written by a leading authority on emotionally focused couples and marital therapy, this second edition is an up-to-date reference on all aspects of EFT and its uses for mental health professionals.

"Anyone who loves is born of God and knows God. For God is love." - John 4:7Are you looking to enrich a healthy relationship, revitalize a tired one, or rescue one gone awry? Do you yearn to grow closer to God, and to further incorporate Him and His teachings into your marriage? We all want a lifetime of love, support, and faith. But sometimes we need a little help.Enter Dr. Sue Johnson, developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and "the best couple therapist in the world," according to bestselling relationship expert Dr. John Gottman. In CREATED FOR CONNECTION, Dr. Johnson and Kenneth Sanderfer, a leading EFT practitioner in the Christian community, share Johnson's groundbreaking and remarkably successful program for creating stronger, more secure relationships not only between partners, but between us and God.The message of CREATED FOR CONNECTION is Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, or making grand romantic gestures. Instead, get to the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are attached to and dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent, and we are on the Heavenly Father, for nurturing, soothing, and protection. The way to enhance or save our relationships with each other and with God is to be open, attuned, responsive, and to reestablish safe emotional connection. Filled with Bible verses, inspiring real-life stories, and guidance, CREATED FOR CONNECTION will ensure a lifetime of love.

A saga tells of a heroic journey where characters find out who they are, face fear and peril, and with comrades, fight to save their world. The whimsical tales of Edgar & Elouise make up two such sagas.But how do we know – and even change – how we see ourselves? A strangely wise and wordy porcupine seems to be able to tell us! And after all, he says, “We all need new stories – new ways to see.”There is also, as in most sagas, a monster to defeat. But first, to even turn and face a monster, there are key questions: How do we face our fear? What can we do in the face of overwhelming odds?Sagas are about being human in an uncertain and dangerous world. How do we sculpt an inner strength and strong connections with others, and how can we protect what we love – our frail and magical world?Stories are like magic – they help us survive.

State cercando di ravvivare una relazione sfibrata, di riaccenderne una opaca o di salvarne una andata storta? Non cercate di analizzare la vostra infanzia, fare gesti romantici o sperimentare nuove posizioni sessuali. Riconoscete, piuttosto, di essere dipendenti dal vostro partner nello stesso modo in cui un bambino lo è nei confronti di un genitore che lo cresce e lo protegge. La terapia focalizzata sulle emozioni che Sue Johnson propone si concentra sulla creazione e sul rafforzamento del legame emotivo tra partner, identificando e trasformando i momenti chiave che nutrono una relazione affettiva. Attraverso storie cliniche raccolte in sette “Conversazioni” (“Trovare i punti sensibili”, “Ripercorrere un momento difficile”, “Perdonare le offese”…), l’autrice offre strategie pratiche per evitare le spirali negative e imparare a sintonizzarsi reciprocamente, in modo da costruire un legame d’amore duraturo.

The first textbook available for A2 Level Philosophy students, and the sister companion to the immensely successful AS text, this text has been written in an engaging and accessible style and covers the AQA A2 Level specification precisely.

This is a gripping true story of a Herculean project as Sue Johnson's psychiatrist husband Bob, recruited to work with notorious offenders at Parkhurst Prison, sets out to discover whether he can change dangerous and violent men.

From her unique point of view as an unfettered outsider, the author casts a searingly moving eye onto the workings of our deepest dungeons and the politics that feed them. An unforgettable account from the perspective of the unseen wife. With a Foreword by Charles Bronson.

A kötődési igényeink a számunkra fontos kapcsolatainkban olyan cselekedeteinket irányító rejtett indítékokként vannak jelen, melyeket nyíltan csak ritkán vállalunk fel. Az érzelmeink pontosan elárulják, mire van szükségünk, ha képesek vagyunk odafigyelni rájuk és iránytűként használni őket. A szerelmünkkel megélt kötődést elősegítő pillanatok általában erősítik a teremtett világ és a Teremtő jóságába vetett hitünket. A keresztény hit és az emberek közti szeretetkötelékek találkozása egyfajta szent körforgást eredményez, melyben a hit erősíti a másik iránti szeretetet, a számunkra fontos személy iránti szeretet pedig növeli a hitünket. A könyvben találkoznak a modern, kutatásokra alapuló párterápiás ismeretek a régóta ismert keresztény igazságokkal; találkozik egy kötődés alapú pszichológiai emberkép a biblia emberképével.
