Attachment theory has become a key focus of both research and
practice in understanding and treating psychological and social
risk for marital and relationship problems, parenting and clinical
disorders. In particular, adult attachment style is a key
explanatory factor for understanding problems in human
relationships.
This practical book introduces and explains an easily accessible
assessment tool for adult attachment style, the Attachment Style
Interview (ASI). Based on extensive research study, it discusses
appropriate interventions and case assessments that can be made to
help families in need. Simpler than the Adult Attachment Interview,
which requires expert administration, the ASI is an invaluable and
evidence-based resource. Presenting clear and concise descriptions
of the measure and summaries of the attachment models developed,
this text provides discussions of its relevance for different
practice contexts, and uses a range of worked case studies to
illustrate its principles and applications. It details attachment
issues in different relationship domains to cover areas of risk and
resilience relevant for practice such as:
- Adult depression and anxiety and stress models
- Partner difficulties including domestic violence
- Childhood neglect and abuse as a source of attachment
problems
- Parenting and intergenerational transmission of risk
- Interventions, service application and use in family
therapy.
Understanding Adult Attachment in Family Relationships provides
an important reference for all practitioners working with children,
adolescents and families, especially those undertaking further
study.
