Using Process‐Experiential/Emotion‐Focused Therapy Techniques for Identity Integration and Resolution of Grief Among Third Culture Kids

Abstract

This article explores process‐experiential/emotion‐focused therapy (PE‐EFT) as a technique for counseling third culture kids (TCKs) who experience identity conflict and unresolved grief. The authors suggest the PE‐EFT tasks of empathic exploration, meaning protest, empty‐chair technique, and 2‐chair dialogue to facilitate TCKs' identity integration and resolution of grief.
