Emotion-Focused Therapy is (understood as) an integrative, neo-humanistic, therapeutic approach whose formation and further development is substantially bound with empirical research of psychotherapeutic processes and mechanisms of change in therapy. This paper deals with empirical studies that were published during the second decade of the 21st century, focused on the efficacy of EFT used in the therapy of anxiety disorder, as well as other mental disorders. Current findings are being presented in the context of an individual-focused, family-focused and group-focused form of EFT. Particular attention is paid to selected new directions and innovations in the field of research that emerged only in recent years, during the verification process of the EFT – especially the transdiagnostic approach.
