The authors of the chapters have written extensively in the fields of family therapy and attachment theory. In their previous writings they have presented both conceptually and empirically based research to support the complementary nature of these two theories. This book combines the clinical and conceptual work of these authors into a single volume. The authors apply attachment theory within a systemic framework to a variety of life cycle transistional tasks and clinical issues, including: the assessment of family functioning and family emotional support, measures of affective expression, the manifestation of attachment organization in love and work relationships and systemic approaches to attachment-related trauma. The authors also deal with issues of family violence and differentiation struggles in adolescence. |
