EFFT is an attachment based intervention which conceptualizes family difficulties as attachment dilemmas. For example, children’s misbehaviour can be understood as bids for connection that become scrambled and misread by parents who are caught in their own reactive behaviours and emotions.  The EFFT therapist implements systemic and experiential interventions to de-escalate the family’s negative interactional patterns that reinforce attachment insecurity and activates inherent parental desire to caretake their children by processing parental blocks.
