0;The editors of this book have done well in ensuring that, whenever possible, recommended therapeutic interventions are data based....The various chapters are well written; they are free of jargon and cohere beautifully into an integrated whole, balancing theory, clinical practice, and research.1;--"Psychiatric Services"
""Attachment Processes in Couple and Family Therapy" was one of those rare books that...dramatically changed the way I think about couple therapy....I was impressed with the extensive array of perspectives and clinical applications of attachment theory presented in this book. I quite literally found every chapter of this book useful in expanding my knowledge of attachment theory in the context of couple and family therapy. I think this book should be required reading for both graduate students and practitioners looking to expand the depth of their interventions to gain a better understanding of attachment style as an organizing theme behind human relationships."--"Couples Research and Therapy Newsletter"
