Specifically in EFT, although the article I read pushes for the use of this therapy in families, I think this therapy is better suited in therapy with couples. EFT focuses on a lot of emotional issues including attachment styles (Palmer, & Efron, 2007). Because of this I think that in families, attachment styles are the result of the parents relationship.
