Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The researchers explored the therapeutic efficacy of using Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with a family of an adolescent with suicidal ideation.
Methods: The researchers conducted a total of eight therapy sessions, each lasting between 60 and 90 minutes. At the first and eighth sessions, the therapist implemented the SSI (Scale for Suicide Ideation) and CDI (Children’s Depression Inventory) with the adolescent client. The measures were conducted both before and after the session, and the results were reviewed with the family.
Results: This study verified that the EFT approach resulted in a positive emotional experience for the family in the study. The researchers found that the adolescent’s suicidal ideation was relieved through the eight therapy sessions.
Conclusions: EFT appears to be an effective model for working with families of adolescents experiencing suicidal ideation.
