A person’s attachment style influences the child-caregiver relationship but can also go on to influence other relationships in adolescence and adulthood. Suppose a child has a turbulent home life, where the caregiver is neglectful one day and very loving and soothing the next. As an adult, that child might approach romantic relationships with a sense of insecurity and instability as well.
Using attachment theory, practitioners have designed several types of therapies to help disrupt the default pattern of attachment and to heal.
Types of attachment therapy include Theraplay, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, Circle of Security, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, among others. In this Assignment, you select one therapy to research and then summarize your findings in light of your future practice and your identified Final Project client.
