This little book will demystify how attachment theory one of today s most in-demand approaches can actually be brought into clinical work.Topics include regulating emotional states; repairing ongoing relationships; establishing an attachment-based therapeutic relationship; accepting a child s inner life; assessing the caregiver s need for safety, regulation, and reflection; the importance of nonverbal and verbal conversations in facilitating secure attachment; and strengthening the mind of the child.
