Abstract
The field of couple and family therapy has a foundation in systems theory and recognizes the intricate dynamics of relationships. Therapists often navigate complex webs of connection, aiming to enhance communication, foster healthy interaction patterns, and cultivate emotional well-being to strengthen relational bonds. This thesis focuses on the integration of routine outcome monitoring (ROM) within Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and aims to shed light on its role in achieving therapeutic goals. ROM tools offer insights into the therapeutic process, facilitating tailored interventions to meet clients' needs. The findings suggest that integrating ROM into EFT benefits therapists and clients, enhancing our understanding of the therapeutic process and optimizing outcomes. As therapy progresses, clients experience transformative growth and healing, underscoring the profound impact of therapy. Reflecting on personal and clinical experiences, this study highlights the resilience and courage of individuals engaged in the therapeutic journey.
