Understanding Attachment Patterns in Therapy

This chapter explores the complexities of attachment patterns and their impact on adult relationships, specifically examining avoidant and ambivalent-resistance strategies. It discusses how early caregiving experiences shape these behaviors and the importance of therapists recognizing their own attachment styles in therapeutic interactions. By shifting the terminology from 'styles' to 'patterns,' the chapter emphasizes the dynamic nature of attachment and the potential for fostering secure environments in both therapy and education.
