Abstract
The implications of John Bowlby’s attachment theory resound through the mental health community. While we know now that much of what Bowlby posited was true, we are still discovering the value of such findings for our clinical work with children and adolescents. Our book Attachment-Based Clinical Work with Children and Adolescents explores how attachment theory is used in clinical settings throughout the country. It presents articles relevant to work with infants and toddlers, children and adolescents, and families. How can we translate what we know about attachment theory and research into practice? Our book attempts to answer this question.
