This eloquent book transfers bonding theory and research on bonding into a completely new framework that enables psychotherapeutic work with adults based on their childhood development. By describing a treatment model based on transformation through relationship, Wallin brings together attachment theory, neuroscience, trauma research, relational psychotherapy and mindfulness psychology. Case descriptions illustrate how therapists can design interventions to take into account the attachment needs of their patients, helping them to create the inner security that their early relationships were unable to provide. The book illustrates the clinical benefits of focusing on non-verbal interaction and describes highly effective techniques for working on emotional responses.
