Publisher Description
This eloquent book translates attachment theory and research into an innovative framework that grounds adult psychotherapy in the facts of childhood development. Advancing a model of treatment as transformation through relationship, the author integrates attachment theory with neuroscience, trauma studies, relational psychotherapy, and the psychology of mindfulness. Vivid case material illustrates how therapists can tailor interventions to fit the attachment needs of their patients, thus helping them to generate the internalized secure base for which their early relationships provided no foundation. Demonstrating the clinical uses of a focus on nonverbal interaction, the book describes powerful techniques for working with the emotional responses and bodily experiences of patient and therapist alike.

“I am not a therapist, but I do work very closely and intimately with families who have infants and young children as a Postpartum Doula. Attachment is at the core of my work and this book had such a comprehensive overview of attachment it really blow my mind. Even the information about how to work with people from a psychotherapist stand point was helpful as I tend to mediate many conversations between frustrated parents.
Whether you need this in your field or not, this book is mind blowing. ”—
