This book presents an attachment-based approach to therapy that addresses the limiting and detrimental effects of negative early attachment experiences.

Our early attachment experiences with our primary caregiver influence the adult that we become. Attachment-based psychotherapy has two major components: establishing a security-engendering therapeutic relationship and helping the patient to communicate more openly and thus to access more adaptive feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Psychotherapists of various theoretical orientations will appreciate this book’s richly detailed conceptualization of common human problems and its clear treatment approach for addressing these problems.
