정서중심치료(Emotion-Focused Therapy, EFT)는 인지와 행동 중심의 임상현장에 새로운 빛을 던지는 대안적 접근으로 발전해 왔습니다. 저는 ‘인지-정서-의지’라는 인간 내면의 삼중구조 중 가장 의미 있는 변화의 첫 단추를 끼우는 기능은 정서라고 믿습니다. 뿐만 아니라, 정서적 변화는 내담자의 성장과 회복에 지속적인 변화를 유지하는 데도 필수적인 요소입니다. 어떠한 다양한 심리치료의 방식을 선호하던지 인간 정서의 역할에 관심 있는 모든 임상가들에게 이 책을 강력하게 추천합니다.

제가 몸담고 있는 미연방정부에서도 정서건강 증진을 위하여 학교, 기업, 공공기관에 더 많은 지원을 하고 있는 추세입니다. 이 책에서 EFT는 다양한 정서들에 대한 구별... 각 상황에 맞는 다양한 개입 기술 등에 이르기까지 심리치료과정 전반에 도움이 되는 핵심 내용들을 다루고 있습니다.

사람의 마음에 다가가기 위한 길은 다양합니다. 생각을 통해 그 마음의 깊은 곳으로 다가갈 수도 있지만, 어떤 경우에는 정서를 통해 마음으로 다가가는 것이 더욱 중요할 때가 있습니다. 특히 ‘정서’와 관련된 여러 문제들을 해결하기 위해서는 ‘정서’가 최적의 출발점이라 할 수 있습니다. 다른 시각에서 마음을 치료하는 분들에게도 정서중심치료는 여전히 참고할 만한 의미 있는 접근이라 생각합니다.

심리치료의 대가들은 정서중심치료의 장점들을 빠르게 흡수하여 치료의 효율성을 극대화하려고 애쓰고 있습니다. 따라서 그린버그가 쓴 이 책을 상담과 심리학을 전공하는 분들에게 꼭 읽어야 할 필독서로 적극 추천합니다.
오오현 교수 호남신학대학교 상담대학원장

왜 정서중심치료인가? 우리에게 대표적으로 잘 알려져 있는 수많은 학자들과 상담가들이 엄청난 시간을 통해 연구하며 밝힌 치료의 핵심들이 이 책에 고스란히 담겨져 있다고 생각됩니다.
