This book is written primarily for psychotherapists and other
practitioners; it 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 behavioral 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.The
process is essentially interpersonal. It only functions effectively
when one person in a dyad or a critical mass in a group (which can
be as small as two persons or occasionally one) has the capacity to
act in a manner that demonstrates mature Caregiving, while engaging
in play with others, as Winnicott has defined the activity. He
considered play as a key aspect of effective therapy. The
components of the process that are the most active in enabling
Winnicottian play to be enjoyed with one or a small group of others
are the systems for interest sharing between peers in its
exploratory form and the Caregiving system.The book shows how the
process functions by including diagrams which show the order in
which systems are assumed to become motivational, or have their
motivation overridden (especially the system for interest sharing
with one s peers in the exploratory form), after a person has
perceived that he or she is in danger; and how through the
mediation of effective Caregiving, a person s capacity to enjoy
exploratory interest sharing and affectional sexuality with his or
her peers can be restored.All aspects of the process are
communicated between people through information transmitted by
means of the emotive non-verbal signals of body language, which are
usually, but not always, accompanied by speech. The kind of emotive
non-verbal signals sent during therapy between therapist and client
demonstrate whether the interactive process is functioning
effectively or not. The way the process functions during therapy
can be demonstrated and studied from records or split-screen
photographs accompanied by aural records or therapeutic sessions."
