Description
Attachment Theory to Practice in Child Mental Health is a practical guide to implementing the rich theory of attachment in treating mental health challenges in children. The book explains and illustrates how the practice of child mental health professionals can be enhanced to encourage engagement, resilience, and development in children with mental health problems.
Through dialogue from clinical work, Daniel Hughes and Ben Gurney-Smith demystify how attachment theory can be brought into clinical work, making it accessible to professionals from various treatment approaches. The book covers topics such as regulating emotional states, repairing relationships, establishing a therapeutic relationship, and assessing the caregiver's need for safety and regulation.
By exploring the importance of nonverbal and verbal conversations in facilitating secure attachment, this book provides practical recommendations for strengthening the mind of the child and promoting positive outcomes in child mental health.
