| Summary |
"This volume presents cutting-edge approaches to couple and family therapy that use attachment theory as the basis for new clinical understandings. Fresh and provocative insights are provided on the nature of interactions between adult partners and among parents and children; the role of attachment in distressed and satisfying relationships; and the ways attachment-oriented interventions can address individual problems as well as marital conflict and difficult family transitions. With contributions from leading clinicans and researchers, the book offers both general strategies and specific techniques for helping clients build stronger, more supportive relational bonds." "This book will enhance the work of practitioners, researchers, and students in couple and family therapy, psychology, psychiatry, clinical social work, and nursing. It is an informative text for graduate-level courses on attachment theory and couple and family treatment."--BOOK JACKET |
