ABSTRACT Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is an increasingly popular form of humanistic therapy that is spreading internationally through standard training curricula. The empirical investigations of training in EFT have, however, received little attention. This study investigated certified EFT therapists’ experience of learning EFT, including their experience of didactic training, experiential exercises, supervision, and self-study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 certified EFT therapists, respectively. All the interviews were recorded and transcribed, and data were analyzed using a descriptive and interpretive approach. Results showed that therapists had both positive and challenging experiences during their learning process: the therapy proved complex to learn, experiential exercises (chair work) were challenging but important for learning, self-study played an important role, experiencing different trainers was valuable, and the role of structured supervision to scaffold learning was emphasized. In conclusion, learning EFT is a rewarding yet challenging process for therapists to go through.

学习以情绪为中心的治疗：经过认证的以情绪为中心的治疗师的观点

摘要 情绪聚焦疗法 (EFT) 是一种日益流行的人文疗法，通过标准培训课程在国际上传播。然而，对 EFT 培训的实证调查很少受到关注。本研究调查了经过认证的 EFT 治疗师学习 EFT 的经验，包括他们在教学培训、体验式练习、监督和自学方面的经验。分别与 10 位经过认证的 EFT 治疗师进行了半结构化访谈。所有访谈都被记录和转录，并使用描述性和解释性方法分析数据。结果表明，治疗师在学习过程中既有积极又有挑战性的经历：事实证明，治疗很复杂，体验式练习（椅子工作）具有挑战性但对学习很重要，自学起到了重要作用，体验不同的培训师很有价值，并且强调了结构化监督对支架式学习的作用。总之，学习 EFT 对治疗师来说是一个有益但具有挑战性的过程。
