Description
Attachment in Psychotherapy explores the connection between childhood development and adult psychotherapy, offering a fresh approach to treatment grounded in attachment theory and neuroscience.
The book presents a model of transformation through relationship, integrating attachment theory with trauma studies, relational psychotherapy, and mindfulness. It provides practical techniques for therapists to tailor interventions to meet the attachment needs of their patients, helping them to develop a secure base for their emotional lives.
Vivid case material illustrates the clinical applications of a focus on nonverbal interaction, demonstrating how therapists can work with patients to manage emotional responses and bodily experiences, promoting a deeper understanding of the therapeutic relationship.
