Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to offer guidelines for assessing relevant cultural components and themes for clinical case conceptualization in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) with Korean couples.
Methods: The researcher extensively reviewed and analyzed both theoretical articles and empirical studies of cultural differences focusing on two major themes of EFT, emotion and attachment. Korean literature was also analyzed for themes of emotion and attachment that could be applied to EFT practice with Korean couples.
Results: The researcher found that various aspects of emotion and attachment were different across different cultures, for example, in relation to individualism versus collectivism. The study also showed that there are some unique aspects of emotion and attachment in Korean culture.
Conclusions: The study offered some guidelines for how EFT therapists working with Korean couples can take into account unique Korean cultural components. Possible directions for future studies and practices were suggested.
