New edition of a bestselling guide to understanding and responding to troubled adults, building on attachment theory and a series of case studies to create an integrative, safe and effective approach to relating to individuals and enabling positive change.

Description

Attachment theory has become central to understanding not only childhood development and how people survive and grow, but also the capacity of partners, parents and carers to offer safe and consistent care.

Updating a bestselling guide, Attachment-based Practice with Adults, Second Edition integrates attachment theory with other concepts to explore how we can understand and respond to troubled adults. By integrating audio, visual and written information around five characters and their stories, the guide shows how to make sense of, talk with and relate to individuals whose past relationships have caused them difficulties.

The Second Edition also includes Attachment-based Practice with Adults: The interviewing guide, previously part of the manual but now included as a separate publication and also available to purchase separately.

Audience

Practitioners, teams, trainers and supervisors working with adults across a diverse range of disciplines including psychiatry, clinical psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, social work, nursing, youth work, criminal justice, family support work, adoption and fostering, midwifery, family nursing, teaching and education.
