Research shows that attachment patterns—our patterns of relating to others, which develop in early childhood—affect far more aspects of our lives than was previously thought. Given how crucial these patterns 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® psychotherapy theory and methodology as a foundation, the authors present an innovative approach that tailors treatment to attachment patterns, allowing psychotherapists to help patients heal relational trauma. Here, readers will find attachment pattern-specific clinical interventions to help them translate attachment theory into transformative clinical practice.

Case examples are used throughout to illustrate how to handle the unique challenges that psychotherapists encounter with each attachment pattern, while engaging commentary discusses how the attachment-informed experiential/relational process leads to healing attachment trauma and facilitating security, resilience, and well-being.

Reviews for Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns: Healing Trauma in Relationship

Therapists of every stripe will also benefit from AEDP's emphasis on key qualities of therapists' presence and understanding of client attachment styles.--Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, founder of Internal Family Systems This book is a delight! In mapping the fields of attachment and dynamic psychotherapies onto one another, it significantly advances Bowlby and Ainsworth's ultimate goal of a coherent framework for understanding and intervening in the complex patterns of emotion- and interaction-regulation that have their origins in early bonds. Whether ultimately resilient or precarious, these patterns are our durable life strategies.--Bob Marvin, PhD, professor emeritus, University of Virginia School of Medicine, and founder and executive director, The Circle of Security Network This book is a great combination of scientific depth, clinical tools, and warmhearted support. It will be extremely useful for any clinician, and others in the helping professions, such as coaches and human resources trainers, will also find much to value in its pages. Highly recommended.--Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha's Brain, Hardwiring Happiness, and Resilient Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns offers a profound synthesis of attachment theory, brain science, and clinical practice. With a focus on AEDP founded by coauthor Diana Fosha, this volume provides clinicians with specific tools to heal attachment wounds and transform insecure attachment patterns. Through an experiential, emotion-focused therapeutic approach, the authors illuminate how to create safety, foster secure attachment, and help clients process previously overwhelming relational experiences. This book is an essential guide for therapists dedicated t to transforming relational trauma and fostering healing, love, and resilience in their clients' lives.--Stephen W. Porges, PhD, creator of Polyvagal Theory [A] beautifully crafted guide to creating attuned, attached, and safe nervous system experiences that lead to new patterns of connection. Drawing on their years of clinical practice and deep understanding of the science of attachment, Karen Pando-Mars and Diana Fosha highlight the importance of the parts both therapist and client play in the process of co-creating shared nervous system experiences and co-regulating moments. Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns outlines the steps to building secure attachment and gives therapists a map to guide the process of accompanying clients on that transformational journey.--Deb Dana, LCSW, author of The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy: Engaging the Rhythm of Regulation and Polyvagal Practices: Anchoring the Self in Safety
