The cases summarized in this volume illustrate the ongoing lessons learned by therapists working with the everyday challenges found among their couples . This chapter reviews key themes and interventions that comprise the innovative practices explored in this casebook . Several common themes are explored in this review . These include the EFT therapist’s work with complex cycles, adult attachment and caregiving, and an unchanging focus, even in the face of diverse couples and problems, on attachment affect, therapeutic process, and the present moment .
