A Short Introduction to Attachment and Attachment Disorder by Colby Pearce

$35.00 NZD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Attachment Theory

Concise and easy-to-understand, this book provides an introduction to what attachment means and how to recognise attachment disorder in children. Colby Pearce explains how complex problems in childhood may stem from the parent-child relationship during a child's early formative years, and later from the child's engagement with the broader social world. The book explores the mind-set of difficult and traumatised children and the motivations behind their complex tendencies and behaviours. It goes on to offer a comprehensive set of tried-and-tested practical strategies that can be used with children affected by an attachment disorder. This second edition has been updated to include the new DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Reactive Attachment Disorder and an increased number of illustrative case vignettes. This is a perfect introduction to the subject for parents, carers and practitioners in supportive roles caring for children. ...Show more

Every person is wired for love differently, with different habits, needs, and reactions to conflict.

Synthesizing research findings drawn from neuroscience, attachment theory, and emotion regulation, this book presents ten guiding principles that can improve any relationship. ...Show more

Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby's Brain by Sue Gerhardt

$40.00 NZD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Attachment Theory

Why Love Matters explains why loving relationships are essential to brain development in the early years, and how these early interactions can have lasting consequences for future emotional and physical health. This second edition follows on from the success of the first, updating the scientific researc h, covering recent findings in genetics and the mind/body connection, and including a new chapter highlighting our growing understanding of the part also played by pregnancy in shaping a baby's future emotional and physical well-being. Sue Gerhardt focuses in particular on the wide-ranging effects of early stress on a baby or toddler's developing nervous system. When things go wrong with relationships in early life, the dependent child has to adapt; what we now know is that his or her brain adapts too. The brain's emotion and immune systems are particularly affected by early stress and can become less effective. This makes the child more vulnerable to a range of later difficulties such as depression, anti-social behaviour, addictions or anorexia, as well as physical illness. Why Love Matters is an accessible, lively, account of the latest findings in neuroscience, developmental psychology and neurobiology - research which matters to us all. It is an invaluable and hugely popular guide for parents and professionals alike. ...Show more

How do past relationships shape who we are today? Attachment theory offers a powerful model for explaining how our earliest relationships affect not only our development as children, but also our feelings and behaviour as adults.

It explains the key concepts in attachment theory and describes how the main attachment types play out both in childhood and later life.

Attachment Therapy with Adolescents and Adults: Theory and Practice Post-Bowlby by Dorothy Heard

$76.00 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: Attachment Theory

This is a revised edition of an important title originally published in 2009. It is written primarily for psychotherapists and other practitioners and describes a new and effective form of dynamic therapy designed for working with adults and with adolescents. The theory, on which the new form of therapy is based, is centred in a paradigm that extends and crucially alters the paradigm for developmental psychology opened by the Bowlby/Ainsworth attachment theory. It describes a pre-programmed process, the dynamics sustaining attachment and interest sharing, which is activated as soon as people perceive that they are in danger. This process is made up of seven pre-programmed systems which interact with one another as an integrated whole. They include Bowlby's two complementary goal-corrected behavioural systems: attachment (also referred to as careseeking) and caregiving. Whenever the process is able to function effectively, it enables people to adapt more constructively and co-operatively to changing circumstances. ...Show more

Creating the Capacity for Attachment by Karen B. Walant

$79.99 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: Attachment Theory

Detached, alienated people, many of them functioning with a pathologically developed false self, barely navigate life's challenges. Our cultural emphasis on autonomy and separateness has led to a retreat from valuing interpersonal, communal dependence and has greatly contributed to a rise in the number of people whose suffering is often expressed in addictions and personality disorders. Using actual patient material including diaries and letters, Karen Walant's Creating the Capacity for Attachment shows how immersive moments in therapy - moments of complete understanding between patient and therapist - are powerful enough to dislodge the alienated, detached self from its hiding place and enable the individual to begin incorporating his or her inner core into his or her external, social self. ...Show more

Young Children's Close Relationships: Beyond Attachment by Judy Dunn

Category: Attachment Theory | Series: Individual Differences and Development

'Another gem from Judy Dunn! This very readable and interesting book asks some searching questions about how relationships change with age, how one sort of relationship influences others and how thought processes shape or control our interactions with other people...The result is a challenging (and some times provocative) account of what we know today, together with a look forward to likely developments in the years to come. The book is a must for anyone interested in either the social development of children or the meaning of interpersonal relationships' - Michael Rutter, Institute of Psychiatry, London How and why do children of the same family have strikingly different relationships with their mother and father, with each other and with their friends? Dunn provides a careful examination of current research in the area; she examines how these differences in close relationships originate, whether they are linked to one another and whether troubled parent-child relationships can result in children having difficulties making friends in later life.The author also considers whether it is possible to specify at what stage of development particular relationships are likely to have effects on other relationships; the influence of cultural concepts on the perception and conduct of close relationships; children's social understanding and its impact on relationships; and differences in children's temperament and attachment behaviour. ...Show more

Playing and Reality by Donald Woods Winnicott

$55.99 NZD

Category: Attachment Theory

For the pioneering psychologist D.W. Winnicott, a creative approach to the world is what makes life worth living. But what are the origins of creativity and how can we develop it - whether within ourselves or in others? Not only does Playing and Reality address these questions, it also tackles many more that surround the fundamental issue of the individual self and its relationship with the outside world. In this landmark book of twentieth-century psychology he shows the reader how, through the attentive nurturing of creativity from the earliest years, every individual has the opportunity to enjoy a rich and rewarding cultural life. Today, as the 'hothousing' and testing of children begins at an ever-younger age, Winnicott's classic text is a more urgent and topical read than ever before. ...Show more
