EP17 Speech 02 - Attachment Science: The Platform for Psychotherapy in the 21st Century - Sue Johnson, EdD
Length: 41:22
Description:
A coherent science on attachment now offers therapists a map for self and relational system that cogently outlines both dysfunction and health – and how to lead clients from one to the other. This presentation will outline the strengths of this integrating framework as a general and specific in-session guide for individual, couple and family therapy, focusing on the map it offers for affect regulation, cognitive restructuring and behavior change.
Educational Objectives:
- Outline the core features of attachment and the promise of attachment science for the future of psychotherapy.
- Describe the relevance of these features for the process of change across modalities.
- Link the attachment framework to specific interventions in individual, couple and family therapy.
