Description

This Routledge publication combines attachment theory with clinical practice to help mental health professionals work effectively with individuals who display avoidant attachment patterns, emotional defensiveness, and difficulty forming intimate relationships. Drawing from four papers presented at a 2017 Wimbledon Guild conference, the book explores how avoidant attachment develops in early childhood, presents research-based assessment tools for understanding dismissing attachment styles, examines the internal object worlds of adults with avoidant patterns, and analyses the clinical impact of these defence mechanisms in therapeutic settings. Practitioners in counselling, family therapy, and psychological practice will find practical frameworks for engaging with clients who struggle with intimacy, self-hatred, and shame-based responses to connection.

Key Features

Routledge publication grounded in attachment theory research combined with real-world clinical experience for therapists and counsellors.

Four conference papers from the 2017 Wimbledon Guild event provide structured exploration of avoidant attachment origins and patterns.

Research tools and assessment methods help practitioners develop refined understanding of dismissing and avoidant attachment styles.

Internal object world analysis offers insight into the psychological defences and shame responses of adults with avoidant attachment.

Family therapy and counselling applications make this text directly relevant to clinical practice with defensive and intimacy-avoidant clients.
