Add to cartWinston Smith evaluates a book on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is one of the new third-generation behavioral therapies. The first generation was about behavior and reinforcement and the second, arising in the 1960s, added cognition and stoic philosophy.

Smith assesses both the provocative strengths and the underlying shortcomings of EFT.
