An expert clinician brings attachment theory into the realm of parenting skills.

Attachment security and affect regulation have long been buzzwords in therapy circles, but rarely are they effectively applied to basic parenting skills. Here, a leading attachment specialist brings attachment work inside the therapy room to the outside, equipping caregivers with practical parenting techniques rooted in attachment theory and research.

Attachment-Focused Parenting provides caregivers with the insights and strategies necessary for fostering secure attachments, using techniques backed by extensive research in the field.
