Attachment theory is influencing how we understand interpersonal
relationships and how psychotherapy can help facilitate change for
those struggling in relationships. More recently, researchers and
clinicians have applied attachment theory to group treatment, one
of the most effective forms of psychotherapy to address
interpersonal difficulties. This book highlights some of the
bridges between attachment theory and contemporary approaches to
group treatment. In addition to applying attachment theory to
innovative treatments, each chapter addresses a specific way in
which attachment impacts the members' capacity for empathy and
perspective taking; the development of cohesion in the group; the
automatic fight-flight response during group interactions; members'
ability to tolerate diversity; and the leaders' capacity to foster
safety within the group. This book will help group leaders gain a
richer understanding of attachment theory and attachment based
techniques that will ultimately benefit their groups. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the International
Journal of Group Psychotherapy.
