Description
Attachment Theory for Social Work Practice by David Howe provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of early social relationships on psychological and social development. This book explores how adversity in childhood can lead to challenging adult relationships, and offers a sophisticated yet accessible framework for social workers to assess and address these issues. Drawing on attachment theory, this book offers a wide-ranging look at the theories emerging in this area, providing a solid foundation for making sensitive assessments and developing humane practices. By examining the nature and origins of disturbed social relationships, social workers can gain a deeper understanding of their clients' needs and develop more effective support strategies. This book is an essential resource for social workers seeking to improve their practice and provide better outcomes for their clients.
