An emotionally focused workbook for couples : the two of us
\"This workbook is intended for use with couples who want to enhance their emotional connection or overcome their relationship distress. It is recommended for use with couples pursuing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). It closely follows the course of treatment and is designed so that clinicians can easily integrate guided reading and reflections into the therapeutic process. The material is presented in a recurring format: Read, Reflect, and Discuss. Readings help couples look at their relationship through an attachment lens, walking them through the step-by-step process of creating a secure relationship bond. 33 Reflections invite readers to engage with the material personally, expanding their own awareness and ability to tune into their partner. Discussion sections suggest relationship-building exercises and a framework for conversations that promote safety, disclosure, and engagement. Case examples, along with informative illustrations, are scattered throughout the book to validate, illustrate, and inspire couples along their journey. Clinicians conversant with EFT can use this workbook to extend the effectiveness of their work with couples by giving them structured tasks to work on between sessions. For clinicians training in EFT, the book can guide them in staying focused on the EFT roadmap and illuminate how important change events unfold\"-- Provided by publisher.

Maternal Depression, Adult Attachment, and Children's Emotional Distress
Introduction: Our goal was to evaluate the impact of depressed mothers' marital intimacy and attachment security in romantic relationships on children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms.
Method: Forty‐six clinically depressed mothers rated attachment security, marital intimacy, and symptoms shown by their children aged 8 to 12.
Results: Maternal avoidance of closeness predicted increases in children's internalizing symptoms over a 6‐month period.
Discussion: Avoidance of closeness in depressed mothers may be implicated in the development of internalizing symptoms in their children, possibly because individuals who are avoidant of closeness are poor caregivers.

Depression and Attachment in Couples
Previous research demonstrated that depression is associated with attachment insecurity. The present study examined the association between adult attachment and depression in couples, both concurrently and longitudinally. We tested the hypothesis that, when one partner is depressed, both partners will be insecurely attached, particularly when the wife's depression is chronic. Self-reported ratings of attachment were collected in a sample of couples in which wives met DSM-III-R criteria for depression in the past year (N = 52) and in a normative sample of couples (N = 60). The course of the women's episodes also was followed over a 6-month period. Depressed women reported more fearful attachment than did women in the normative sample. Overall, the husbands of the depressed women were not more likely to report insecure attachment. However, husbands of women diagnosed with chronic depression reported less attachment security than did husbands of women with discrete episodes of depression. In addition, husbands' insecurity predicted the maintenance of their wives' depressive symptoms over the follow-up period.
