Cover -- Half Title -- Endorsements -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Table of Contents -- List of illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Prologue -- Introduction -- Organization of the book -- 1. Attachment theory -- History -- Stages in Bowlby's thinking -- Past circumstances affect present functioning and more specifically, maternal deprivation could possibly be linked to later disturbed behavior -- Unresolved conflicts from a parent's own childhood can influence his or her interactions with progeny -- Real-life experiences have a very important effect on development Maternal loss or separation in early life has devastating consequences -- Mother's (or a primary caregiver's) love is critical for mental health -- There is a built-in need to form an attachment bond with a specific individual and this bond ultimately promotes survival -- Attachment theory -- Behavioral systems -- Secure and insecure bonds -- Internal working model -- Summary -- 2. Mary Ainsworth -- Secure base concept -- Maternal sensitivity -- Attachment styles -- Empirical research Does the Strange Situation measure more than random behavior? What does the measured behavior mean for later functioning? -- What is the role of the caregiver in the quality of attachment? -- Is there evidence of an "internal working model"? Along those lines, does attachment behavior remain constant throughout development? -- How does early experience interact with later experience and affect development? How does attachment fit into the developmental process? -- Summary -- 3. The Adult Attachment Interview -- The Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) -- Case examples -- Summary 4. Self-report measures -- History of self-report measures -- Narrative vs. self-report measures -- Attachment patterns in the self-report tradition -- Secure attachment -- Attachment-related avoidance -- Attachment-related anxiety -- Fearful attachment -- Summary -- 5. The developmental pathway of attachment -- Systemic thinking -- Layered model of development -- Adaptive issues across development as attachment bonds form -- Daniel Stern (1934-2012) -- Beatrice Beebe -- Edward Tronick -- Caregiving system -- Summary -- 6. The brain -- Mirror neurons -- The way a brain functions -- Memory The structures of the brain -- The brain's course of development -- The brain's integration and attachment theory -- Summary -- 7. Psychophysiology -- Physiology and neurobiology of social bonding -- Stress: how our body reacts when we encounter distress -- Polyvagal Theory -- Polyvagal Theory and attachment -- Summary -- 8. Emotions and attachment -- What is emotion? -- Are emotions universal or culturally constructed? -- How are the mind, the body, and emotion related? -- What is the basic neurobiology of emotional responses? -- The purpose of emotion
This comprehensive volume addresses attachment theory's history as well as its integration with neurobiology, psychophysiology, theories of emotion, regulation theory, and mentalization theory. It explores how clinicians can connect with their clients so that they feel completely seen and heard. Attachment theory speaks to one's biological drive to connect, to relate, and to feel heard. The author aims to achieve this by condensing the enormous and diverse literature of the eld into a singular, manageable work that clinicians can use to foster these connections. The book traces the history of attachment theory and describes how neurobiological research has inuenced the expansion of attachment theory, and how emotions and psychophysiology have become critical to our understanding of human attachment connections. It concludes with a detailed examination of how to apply these theories in clinical practice. This practical book addresses attachment theory's take on integrating the mind, body, and emotion when striving toward well-being. It will be of great importance for psychotherapy students, beginning therapists, and experienced clinicians with an interest in attachment theory.
