Attachment Therapy with Adolescents and Adults: Theory and Practice Post Bowlby

Thjs new book by Dorothy Heard, Brian Lake and Una McCluskey, brings together a theory of instinctive human behavior, suggested by Heard and Lake in their previous book The Challenge of Attachment for Caregiving, a new conceptualization of the self; and it makes close links with research undertaken by McCluskey into the dynamics of the careseeking-caregiving relationship in adult life, as well as discusses the new form of therapeutic interventions with groups, which she has developed.

Readers of the new book are introduced to a new paradigm for human instinctive behavior, which incorporates a new model for individual and group psychotherapeutic intervention that is currently being practiced, researched and developed by Heard and McCluskey.
