This is a revised edition of an important title originally
published in 2009. It is written primarily for psychotherapists and
other practitioners and describes a new and effective form of
dynamic therapy designed for working with adults and with
adolescents. The theory, on which the new form of therapy is based,
is centred in a paradigm that extends and crucially alters the
paradigm for developmental psychology opened by the
Bowlby/Ainsworth attachment theory. It describes a pre-programmed
process, the dynamics sustaining attachment and interest sharing,
which is activated as soon as people perceive that they are in
danger. This process is made up of seven pre-programmed systems
which interact with one another as an integrated whole. They
include Bowlby's two complementary goal-corrected behavioural
systems: attachment (also referred to as careseeking) and
caregiving. Whenever the process is able to function effectively,
it enables people to adapt more constructively and co-operatively
to changing circumstances.
