Description

This book focuses upon new methods of analysis for adult attachment texts. The authors' introduce a highly nuanced model--the Dynamic-Maturational Model (DMM)--providing clinicians with a finely-tuned tool for helping patients examine past relationships, in addition to gauging the potential effectiveness of various treatment options. The authors offer a fascinating explanation of the neurobiological underpinnings of DMM, grounded in findings from the cognitive neurosciences about information processing. In this volume, readers have an eminently practical, theoretically-grounded work that is sure to transform many types of therapy.
