Prospects for Further Application Afterword, Inge Bretherton Appendix: Brief Précis of the Adult Attachment Interview ProtocolReviewsI would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the application of attachment theory for any client group. There is something for everyone here and much to provoke thought and further discussion. - Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry A useful, unpretentious, and eminently readable book. The theory, research, and case material addressed in it are crucial to consider for those interested in reflective, honest, and effective clinical practice. - Psychologist-Psychoanalyst Newsletter This second edition is an essential resource for clinicians, scholars, students, and all others seeking a fuller understanding of attachment disorders across the lifespan and how to treat them. Brisch wisely agrees with other leading authorities that 'holding therapy' is wrongheaded and irreconcilable with attachment theory. But how then should the serious emotional and behavioral troubles that typify the notion of attachment disorders be treated? For what is arguably the best and most comprehensive, research-based, and sensitive answer to date, read Brisch! - Howard Steele, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Psychology, New School for Social Research, New York, USA A useful, unpretentious, and eminently readable book.
