You'll discover: The key elements of the attachment perspective on personality and its significance for clinical intervention The process of change and the elements of the EFT Tango Micro-interventions to gradually move clients into transformative moments where vulnerabilities are encountered with balance and competence The applicability of EFIT with clients suffering from a range of symptoms and issues
