1980年代，Greenberg 博士提出一个问题：“治疗中是什么造成了个案的改变？” 这个问题引导他发展出EFT的基本原则与干预技术。工程师出身的他更将实证研究的成果画成一幅幅流程图，让治疗师在上了岛屿之后可以按照地图工作，引导个案探索各种议题。他目前是加拿大约克大学（York University)的杰出研究教授，也是约克大学心理治疗临床研究所的主任。除了教学与研究之外，他还致力于EFT在全世界各地的推广。

Greenberg教授关于EFT的个人与夫妻治疗方面的著作很多，目前已经翻译成中文的包括：情绪聚焦疗法（孙俊才／郭本禹译，重庆大学出版），情绪焦点治疗（台湾出版），忧郁症的情绪取向治疗（台湾出版）， 和有效学习情绪焦点治疗－改变的历程经验治疗（台湾出版）。
