Attachment Theory in Action cover

In this volume, distinguished therapists and clinicians offer a broad range of effective attachment-based interventions for children with a history of attachment difficulties and complex trauma. Stepping through attachment theory and the latest research in neuroscience, the contributors illustrate how the treatment of developmental trauma often requires implementing more than one clinical model. Including chapters on the practical application of dyadic developmental psychotherapy, mindfulness, theraplay, and EMDR, Attachment Theory in Action offers mental health professionals insights into helping even the most challenging patients.

The book is written thoughtfully and sensitively by clinicians who have connected with love and understanding to their child clients and families over long years of experience. Karen Buckwalter and Debbie Reed have compiled a book full of clinical wisdom from some of the best clinical workers in the field. -- Victoria A. Fitton, Michigan State University
The book offers a very useful framework that integrates theory and research, making it user-friendly to new therapists and graduate students. -- Katie M. Heiden-Rootes, Saint Louis University
