Attachment in Psychotherapy

De: David J. Wallin

Narrado por: Bob Souer

This eloquent book translates attachment theory and research into an innovative framework that grounds adult psychotherapy in the facts of childhood development. Advancing a model of treatment as transformation through relationship, the author integrates attachment theory with neuroscience, trauma studies, relational psychotherapy, and the psychology of mindfulness. Vivid case material illustrates how therapists can tailor interventions to fit the attachment needs of their patients, thus helping them to generate the internalized secure base for which their early relationships provided no foundation. Demonstrating the clinical uses of a focus on nonverbal interaction, the book describes powerful techniques for working with the emotional responses and bodily experiences of patient and therapist alike.

Amazing!

I learned so much about myself and my past partners. Everyone no matter your lifestyle or relationship status, should read this!!!

Superb

Really well written. I love how the author alternates between theory and his real world practice. He goes onto to describe his internal world as a therapist, his irritation, exhaustion, comp'licity and attraction to his patients. Really stunning form of insight.

Awesome insights into attachment!

Narration is a bit dry, but the content provides a very thorough overview on the spectrum of attachment disorders and healing

good

It was worth the time, interesting, and helpful. A more clear recipe to improve attachment would have been nice.

Not only for therapists

To me, maybe because I don’t have a degree in psychology, this is a very comprehensive look at attachment styles. I find this to be helpful in my duty as a residential counselor. The narrator did a great job, but because of the subject matter I think I am going to get this book in print form also, so I can read it again and highlight important ideas.
