I work with traumatized children. Many of the children I work with have attachment issues. This is an excellent book about the subject. It first informs the reader about Attachment Theory and how it is used, reviews and compares other theories and shows how they are used and how they don't work well with attachment issues, gives you many practical examples of infants, school age children and adolescents with attachment issues and how these are treated. I highly recommend it.

This is the best written book on the subject I have read. It was a joy to read and very informative about attachment theory and attachment diorders. The author presens dozens of cases from all age groups showing the application of attachment theory to psychotherapy and psychoanalys.

I strongly recommend this book for anyone seeking to find help with troubling relationship issues and learning more about relationship attachment and detachment. Other related topics are, identity issues, self-esteem issues, addictions, mood disorders and reoccurring unresolved anger.
