DEEP ROOTS: ATTACHMENT & CULTURE EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN COUPLES
In this training, Dr. Guillory demonstrates the powerful effectiveness of using both an EFT map for working with romantic bonds and using a model of race-matters to enhance clinical attunement and attachment love with Black couples. Race is typically treated as a demographic category. By extension, the internal working model of racial identity is a clinical blind spot. In his book Emotionally Focused Therapy with African American Couples, the presenter suggests that therapists work most effectively with Black couples (and clients of color along with many diverse client populations) when they have a conceptual model or racial matters, including racism, racial identity, race-based events, and racial trauma. This intermediate workshop addresses useful clinical concepts (e.g., Black negative priming, racial distress cues, racial identity as a dynamic process) and how they can be integrated into emotionally focused therapy (EFT). Case studies and video clips of EFT interventions illustrate the work.
