Attachment theory posits that the need for attachment is a
life-long phenomenon that becomes especially relevant in times of
crisis or trauma. When adults experience illness, accidents,
assaults, psychological difficulties or losses, their
attachment-behavioural systems are activated, motivating them to
seek help and support from family and friends and/or from helping
professionals. However, the resulting request for help is affected
and shaped by earlier experiences regarding the support and
trustworthiness of attachment figures. Can others be trusted? Is it
safe to show vulnerability? How should one behave to increase the
likelihood of receiving the help needed? Adult Attachment Patterns
in a Treatment Context provides an integrated introduction to the
subject of adult attachment. Research into adult attachment
patterns offers professional helpers a theoretically sound insight
into the dynamics underlying a range of client behaviours,
including some of the more puzzling and frustrating behaviours such
as denying obvious pain or continually pushing the professional for
more personal involvement. Sarah Daniel shows how applying
knowledge of attachment patterns to treatment settings will improve
the way in which professionals engage with clients and the
organization of treatments. This book will be relevant to a range
of helping professionals such as psychotherapists, psychologists
and social workers, both in practice and in training.
