It links developmental research with clinical practices like family and mentalization therapies, detailed assessments, and case studies to clarify misconceptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book summarizes attachment processes across the lifespan and reviews clinical applications with infants, children, adolescents, and adults.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Attachment theory is often mischaracterized as focusing solely on maternal influences in early childhood, but developmental science has explored the important roles that other attachment figures play throughout one amp rsquo s life, including foster parents, social peers, and romantic partners. Following the history and evolution of attachment research, this book translates foundational knowledge into clinical practice by reviewing interventions such as parent training techniques, attachment‑based family therapy, and mentalization‑based therapy. These attachment-based interventions are differentiated from other, harmful treatments that have been erroneously linked to attachment theory, being labeled by their proponents as  amp ldquo attachment therapy. amp rdquo \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Key concepts such as internal working models and secure vs. insecure attachment scripts are described, as are important assessment measures like the strange situation procedure and the adult attachment interview. Special features highlight notable topics and controversies in attachment theory and research and present case studies that bring clinical guidance to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40809128886369,"sku":"9781433837616","price":50.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36635810.jpg?v=1763501352","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781433837616-science-clinical-pract-of-at","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
