Attachment-Focused Parenting: Effective Strategies to Care for Children

Attachment security and affect regulation have long been buzz words in therapy circles, but many of these ideas - so integral to successful therapeutic work with children and adolescents - have yet to be effectively translated to parenting practice itself. Moreover, as neuroscience reveals how the human brain is designed to work in good relationships, and how such relationships are central to healthy human development, the practical implications for the parent-child attachment relationship become even more apparent. Here, a leading attachment specialist with over 30 years of clinical experience brings the rich and comprehensive field of attachment theory and research from inside the therapy room to the outside, equipping therapists and caregivers with practical parenting skills and techniques rooted in proven therapeutic principles.
