Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns: Healing Trauma in Relationship explores how we attach to the first few significant people in our lives, a process that affects all future relationships and is often an important discovery for therapy clients. Given how crucial these relationships are to how every patient relates to the world and to their own selves, how can therapists harness attachment to provide more effective therapy?

Using AEDP® theory and methodology as a foundation, Karen Diana present an innovative psychotherapeutic approach that tailors treatment to attachment patterns, allowing psychotherapists to help patients heal relational trauma.

Case examples and guided commentary will help readers understand how to  handle the unique challenges one might encounter with each attachment pattern.
