    Open AccessChristopher K Leeth, Andrea MendozaARTICLEThe Family Journal2025

    There is a critical need for culturally responsive and inclusive methods of counseling. This extends to couples counseling for BIPOC and marginalized clients. Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is a promising method of working with couples that is grounded in Western/European values.

  • A Relational Approach to Emotionally Focused Therapy

    Open AccessAndrea Mendoza, Christopher K LeethARTICLEThe Family Journal2025

    Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based couple's approach to increasing a couple's relational connection through attachment and interaction patterns.

In these terms, the article explores the function of injury in these lite…

  • Nonencounter as Relation

    Andrea MendozaARTICLEVerge Studies in Global Asias2017Cited by: 1

    This article explores the possibility of comparison and relation through the notion of the “nonencounter”—a modality for placing seemingly unrelatable figures into dialogue through their synchronicities and discursive affinities. Japanese “poison woman” narratives ( dokufumono ) and Brazilian representations of the trope of cannibalism may share no apparent geographic or intertextual links. Nevertheless, I propose their relation through a compara…
