Unattached: Questioning Attachment-Based Therapy
This book questions four myths or false beliefs about ‘Attachment theory is evidence based, objective and value-free’
‘Attachment patterns, and the proportion of each pattern, are the same everywhere in the world’
‘Secure attachment has evolved in humans because it favours survival’
‘Attachment theory offers a powerful relational model for psychotherapy’
The book demonstrates the weak evidence base and theoretical arguments of attachment theory, and the incompatibility of attachment-based and relational models of psychotherapy. It ends by offering an alternative version of attachment based on diversity and flexibility.
