Vazba v psychoterapii – Wallin David J. (2020)

The mutually co-created relationship between the therapist and the patient represents an opportunity to establish a safe base for treatment and personal development not only for the patient. The model of psychotherapeutic treatment as transformation through relationship is the result of integrating attachment theory with neuroscience, trauma studies, relational psychotherapy, and mindfulness psychology. Vividly presented clinical material illustrates how therapists can facilitate the formation of a healing attachment relationship, tailor their interventions to the attachment needs of their patients, and help them create an internalized safe base that early relationships did not provide. By describing the clinical use of nonverbal interactions, the book offers effective procedures for working with emotional reactions and bodily experiences of both the patient and the therapist. The book is not only a valuable introduction to attachment therapy for those who are becoming familiar with it but also for therapists whose work is grounded in this theory and who wish to deepen their knowledge and skills.
