DEEP ROOTS: CULTURE & ATTACHMENT

This training video series is intended for psychotherapists, educators, and graduate students who are interested in learning about diversity matters and applying them in a clinical setting. The videos are a companion to Dr. Guillory’s book on Emotionally Focused Therapy with African American Couples: Love Heals. The couple in this re-creation of therapy are played by actors. An actual couple therapy transcript is used as an anchor. An extensive write-up of this case is found in chapter five of Love Heals.

The literature regarding Black couples suggests that African American experience more threats compared to others racial groups to their romantic bonds. These treats include higher rates of divorce, and more intense conflicts. While race is typically treated as a demographic category, most models of couples therapy devote little to no attention to the dynamic nature of race-matters in the lives of African American relationship. As Nancy Boyd-Franklin, PhD, author, and Distinguished Professor suggests, Dr. Guillory’s clinical work is “trailblazing.”

These video tapes highlight a specific model of race-matters and integrates seamlessly with evidence-based Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Dr. Guillory provides an in-depth experience the EFT interventions and clinical moves, and how to integrate these clinical interventions with a model of race-matters that include racism, racial identity, racial-distress cues, and cultural humility.
