Description: Attachment Disturbances in Adults : Treatment for Comprehensive Repair, Hardcover by Brown, Daniel P.; Elliott, David S.; Morgan-johnson, Paula (CON); Sacks, Paula (CON); Baltzer, Caroline R. (CON), ISBN 0393711528, ISBN-13 9780393711523, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Brown and Eliot present this expansive text covering the subject of adult attachment style and related therapy. Part I offers a primer on attachment research and addresses how, starting from the initial strong influence of parent-infant dynamics, attachment behavior can develop over the lifespan. Part II discusses how to assess adult patients using this framework, outlining typical clinical presentations of insecure attachments, providing assessment scales, and linking attachment style to commonly comorbid psychopathology. Part III provides a tripartite framework for repair of attachment disturbance and spends a chapter each explaining the three pillars of ideal parent figures, metacognitive interventions, and fostering collaborative capacity. Part IV shows how to apply these concepts specifically for dismissive, anxious-preoccupied, and disorganized-fearful attachment styles. Case vignettes are used throughout to illustrate therapeutic conversation. Finally part V provides step-by-step guidelines to successful treatment proceeding from assessment, to psychoeducation, to slow introduction of therapeutic concepts and techniques, as well as evidence of efficacy from a pilot study and measurable achievements of successful treatment. Appendices provide additional information on self-development and couple relationships. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
