This research aimed to explore emotion–focused therapy(EFT) and its applications for Christian counseling. Leslie Greenberg(2010/2015) views affection as a key component in creating therapeutic changes, discovering meanings and achieving growth. Emotion–focused therapy plays a significant role in renewing a client’s goal and meaning of life as well as in resolving clients’ psychological issues by correcting her or his maladaptive emotion scheme and reconstructing her or his affective experiences that made one be in trouble in the past. In the light of Charles Gerkin’s(1984/1998) hermeneutic mode, and Jonathan Edward’s idea of ‘Religious affections’ and Don Browning’s(1987) critical approach to humanistic psychology, the researcher argues that Christian EFT therapists can improve practical applications of EFT for Christian counseling with sensitive and comprehensive approaches: an open–mined attitude toward powerful influences of the Holy Spirit, cooperative facilitation with clients toward intimate relationships with God, and Christian world–view beyond humanistic perspectives.
