Uniting attachment-focused therapy and neurobiology to help distrustful and traumatised children revive a sense of trust and connection.
Uniting attachment-focused therapy and neurobiology to help distrustful and traumatised children revive a sense of trust and connection.
This groundbreaking book explores how the attachment- focused family therapy model works at a neural level. Investigation of the brain science of early childhood and developmental trauma offers clinicians new insights—and powerful new methods—to help neglected and insecurely attached children regain a sense of safety and security with caring adults.
“"This eminently readable, practical, and profound book is required reading for anyone who works with distressed children and their caregivers. It is another example of how attachment science, when linked to neurobiology, revolutionizes intervention. This science offers therapists a comprehensive guide, not just to symptom reduction, but to the creation of secure connection, renewed growth and resilience."”
