Abstract: The article describes the Slovenian adaptation of the Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF) which was developed by Gottman and colleagues (Gottman and Coan, 2007) for the purpose of examining emotional expression. We present a short history and problems of coding emotions, codes of the system, coding procedure, training of coders, and rules of accurate observing. Also presented are the experiences with the new system, arguments for adaptation of codes to therapeutic processes and suggestions for further improvements.

Keywords: Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF), emotions, psychotherapy, test adaptation, training
