Description
Attachment Therapy with Adolescents and Adults: Theory and Practice (Post Bowlby) This revised edition explores a new approach to dynamic therapy for working with adults and adolescents. Building on the foundation of attachment theory, it offers a fresh perspective on how people respond to danger and how this affects their relationships. The theory behind this form of therapy is based on seven pre-programmed systems that interact as an integrated whole. These systems include two complementary goal-corrected behavioural systems: attachment and caregiving. When these systems function effectively, they enable individuals to adapt more constructively to changing circumstances. This book provides a comprehensive guide for psychotherapists and practitioners looking to incorporate this new approach into their work.
