I chose to share about Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and a bit about Emotion-Focused Family Therapy(EFFT) which is my primary theory and approach. I use a lot of teachings in EFFT from Dr. Adele Lafrance and Natasha Files and both of them are involved in using EFFT/EFT within the PAT realm. Adele and Dr. Reid Robison have had trials combining EFT with Ketamine (EF-KAP) to treat anorexia and have investigated using EF-KAP to treat depression. The publication for their work is in process, not yet submitted. (https://www.cedarpsychiatry.com/efkap) <— has the below list of pdf handouts for clinicians for all stages of PAT:
Pre-Flight Instructions for Clients
Process of Emotion Self-Exploration
Supporting Your Loved Ones Throughout Treatment
I love EFFT and it is something I truly enjoy sharing with parents/caregivers, and there are other parts of it that crossover into individual therapy as well. As PAT expands and potentially is applied to treatment for adolescents/young adults, I could see EFFT being helpful.
