The Search for the Secure Base cover

In recent decades, attachment theory has gained widespread interest and acceptance, although the relevance of attachment theory to clinical practice has never been clear. The Search for the Secure Base shows how attachment theory can be used therapeutically. Jeremy Holmes introduces an exciting new attachment paradigm in psychotherapy with adults, describing the principles and practice of attachment-informed therapy in a way that will be useful to beginners and experienced therapists alike. Illustrated with a wide range of clinical examples, this book will be welcomed by practitioners and trainees in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and in many other disciplines.

'An excellent account of attachment-based psychodynamic psychotherapy; clearly written, engaging, well-informed, full of very good and apposite clinical examples, up-to-date, accessible and scholarly.' - Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology, Birkbeck College, University of London

' an informative, integrative introduction to attachment theory and practice.' - Frank Sharp, The Psychologist, Vol 16 No 1
