Bringing ideas of attachment and intersubjectivity into the realm of family therapy.

Attachment theory, while a hot topic in psychotherapy, has primarily been limited to the treatment of individuals. Daniel A. Hughes, a leading practitioner in the field, equips clinicians with the knowledge and tools to apply ideas of attachment, intersubjectivity, and affect regulation in the context of family therapy.

Attachment-Focused Family Therapy is pivotal for practitioners looking to enhance their approach by incorporating these vital concepts into their therapeutic practice. Hughes provides a practical framework that bridges the gap between individual therapy techniques and the dynamics involved in family systems.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

New Therapist calls it "an engrossing and helpful explication of the nuts and bolts of what goes right and wrong with relationships from the earliest days of our childhoods." The ASAP Newsletter describes it as "an excellent resource for any therapist interested in applying attachment theory to work with children and parents in a family therapy context."
