Help your clients' relationships survive infidelity!

Finally, they discuss the overarching theories and common models used in infidelity treatment.

The Role of Primary Emotion in Family Therapy Supervision
This paper presents a model of family therapy supervision based on the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy. It is designed to deal with interface issues between therapist and client that hinder a case's progress. The supervisor assesses the interactional sequence between the therapist and client, and then accesses the therapist's primary emotions toward the client, to alter the stuck sequence. This model is recommended as an alternative to traditional family of origin approaches for dealing with therapist interface issues.
