Attachment-based Practice with Adults

Attachment theory is a framework for understanding human behaviour that helps us identify the nature and source of an individual or group' s responses to anxiety, change, threat or danger, and can be used across a range of therapeutic interventions.Integrated within the first edition of Attachment-based Practice with Adults but bound and sold separately for the second edition, The Interviewing Guide lets readers see how the three core attachment strategies - distancing (' A' ), preoccupied (' C' ) and balanced (' B' ), influenced by procedural, sensory, semantic, episodic and integrative memory systems - are typically expressed in verbal and non-verbal communication. Reproducible discourse marker sheets allow readers to keep a log of interviews to become more familiar with patterns of discourse and their underlying functions.
