I work with traumatized children. Many of the children I work with have attachment issues. This is an excellent book about the subject. It first informs the reader about Attachment Theory and how it is used, reviews and compares other theories and shows how they are used and how they don’t work well with attachment issues, gives you many practical examples of infants, school age children and adolescents with attachment issues and how these are treated. I highly recommend it.
