Attachment-based Practice with Adults: Understanding Strategies and Promoting Positive Change, 2nd edition
Attachment-based Practice with Adults, Second Edition is an illustrated, multi-media resource that offers a theoretically coherent, practice-based model for the application of attachment theory in working with adults, especially those affected by trauma and including those who pose a risk to themselves or to other adults or children. At the heart of the resource is the five-step LEARN model, a flexible interviewing strategy that helps practitioners work with confidence in an attachment-informed way.
Having introduced contemporary attachment theory, its links with neurobiology and the importance of personal stories, the manual and accompanying online resources provide five powerful case studies to illustrate the three different attachment strategies, with audio interviews, commentaries and guided exercises. A detailed Interviewing Guide, included with the resource and also sold separately, provides an invaluable framework for conducting and making sense of interviews, with ‘discourse markers’ to watch for and examples of responses that might promote integration and positive change. Further exercises provide the basis for assessment and intervention with clients, and a final section shows how attachment-informed supervision can help to enhance practice.
Attachment-based Practice with Adults, Second Edition increases the confidence of practitioners to act as change agents with their clients, and to relate to them in attuned and effective ways. It is relevant to diverse professions and modalities, and it can be used by individuals, multidisciplinary teams, co-workers, supervisors, teachers and trainers to reflect on and improve the preparation, use and support of attachment thinking in practice.
