The Challenge of Attachment for Caregiving by Dorothy Heard,Brian Lake Pdf
The predicaments that bring adults into therapy can often be traced to unsatisfactory experiences of caregiving in childhood. If our capacity for caregiving derives mainly from our own experience of receiving care, then a clearer understanding of how this process of interaction works is crucial for the professional caregiver. The Challenge of Attachment for Caregiving proposes a model for the development of caregiving, shows how it can be related to therapeutic practice and complements and extends the theory of attachment. Drawing on many years' experience as clinicians and researchers, the authors explore in depth an aspect of human development which has profound implications for our future survival. Presenting its own challenge to both theory and practice, this book offers students and practitioners a new perspective on attachment.
