Review

"As someone who bears witness daily to the suffering of the insecurely attached, I am deeply grateful for Attachment in Psychotherapy, a remarkable synthesis of scientific research, clinical observation and theory, and reflection on mindfulness. Wallin not only elucidates the vast empirical literature on attachment, but also with the clarity of a natural teacher and the wisdom of a seasoned clinician makes such findings relevant to the complex challenges of practice. Therapists of all orientations will find help here in fostering a sense of safety and in facilitating their clients' emotional growth."--Nancy McWilliams, PhD, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey "No better introduction to the clinical application of attachment theory has yet been written."--Lewis Aron, PhD, Director, Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, New York University"Wallin's understanding of attachment work and his integration of attachment theory with other modern relational perspectives are quite impressive. People are always asking me what they can read about the clinical implications of attachment work, and now I know what to tell them. This book is an amazing accomplishment. It is definitely my favorite book on this topic."--L. Alan Sroufe, PhD, William Harris Professor of Child Development, University of Minnesota"John Bowlby would have been delighted with this book, which links the biological imperatives of attachment to the dialogues that define the self and the nature of key relationships. He would also have been delighted to see his theory articulated as a guide to psychotherapy in such an eminently readable manner. The use of attachment as this kind of guide is a rich vein that has just begun to be tapped. This book is a therapist's journey into that richness."--Susan M. Johnson, EdD, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology, University of Ottawa, Canada; Distinguished Research Professor, Marital and Family Therapy Program, Alliant International University "This timely book provides an important advance in the examination of the implications of attachment theory for psychotherapy. Synthesizing theory and research on attachment theory and affect regulation with recent developments in psychoanalysis, Wallin provides a rich conceptual scaffolding for understanding the role that the therapeutic relationship plays in the change process. He also provides an intriguing perspective on the potential contributions of mindfulness practice to the cultivation of a therapeutic stance. Theoretically sophisticated and clinically enlightening, this book will be of interest to clinicians of all persuasions."--Jeremy D. Safran, PhD, Department of Psychology, New School for Social Research "Simply the best integration of key advances in attachment theory and research and their applications to psychotherapy. Complex concepts are carefully elucidated and brilliantly illustrated with clinical examples. This book is an important reference for all clinicians and students. It is a vital resource for those who are interested in how progress in our understanding of attachment processes may be applied in a clinical context."--Peter Fonagy, OBE, FMedSci, FBA, PhD, Professor of Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Developmental Science and Head, Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London, United Kingdom "This book is a remarkable achievement--a very clear yet scholarly synthesis of the latest developments in attachment theory, intersubjectivity, social neuroscience, and mindfulness. The author layers these 'maps' onto the therapy experience, and then takes the reader through the territory to emerge with a new vision of therapy. Wallin is a trustworthy guide through the complexities of clinical work where the therapy relationship itself is the intervention. A 'must read' for psychotherapists who wish to remain on top of their field, and a rich resource for clinicians in training."--Christopher Germer, PhD, private practice, Arlington, Massachusetts "Attachment in Psychotherapy advances psychotherapeutic method and theory through an innovative integration of new work in affect regulation and models of relationship. David Wallin offers a brilliant leap in realizing the clinical promise of attachment theory, a synthesis that should be required reading--and will be rewarding--for every psychotherapist."--Daniel Goleman, PhD, author of Social Intelligence "What a delight! Wallin has written an extremely insightful, broadly integrative, clinically applicable, and highly engaging book. Keeping his personal and clinical experiences coherently in mind and using them as examples, he synthesizes recent literatures on attachment theory and research, mindfulness, mentalization, metacognition, nonverbal communication, intersubjectivity, and mechanisms of therapeutic change. The book moves deftly from clear analyses of contemporary theoretical issues to specific, well-described clinical techniques that can be used with particular clients; for example, those with a particular adult attachment pattern. The book identifies diverse theoretical and empirical advances that, in Wallin’s skillful hands, fit together beautifully, deepening our understanding of the human mind, its relational context, and its transformation in psychotherapy."--Phillip R. Shaver, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of California, Davis"A well-written, easy-to-read, clinically relevant, and particularly pragmatic application of recent science to a variety of clinical problems."--Allan N. Schore, PhD, author of Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self "This book has an interesting and solid foundation of neurobiology, intersubjectivity, mindfulness, transgenerational issues, and, of course, attachment theory, which makes it both a stimulating read and an instructive guide for clinical practice. I use this book in my family therapy trauma course; Wallin beautifully illustrates the embeddedness of trauma and healing in attachment relationships."--Lorna Hecker, PhD, Marriage and Family Therapy Program, Purdue University Calumet"R.D. Laing opened one of his less enduring works with the warning: 'Few books today are forgivable.' Well, here's one to celebrate. If you practice psychotherapy and you read it, your patients stand to benefit. And, as an impressive synthesis of research and practice, it joins a handful of books that truly belong to this century rather than the previous one....We can be grateful that this book has arrived. It is much more than forgivable. It seems indispensable." (British Journal of Psychiatry 2007-03-08)"Takes on the huge task of integrating many aspects of contemporary research theory with clinical practice....A good resource for experienced clinicians." (Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic 2007-03-08)"Wallin presents a thorough and research-based explanation of how attachment theory can explain change and growth within psychotherapy and, importantly, how counselors can use attachment theory to guide practice decisions....Wallin's book provides both an introduction and an in-depth examination of attachment theory and some of the therapeutic implications arising from this seminal and unfolding theory....Wallin organizes the book in an interesting and readable fashion....I heartily recommend [this book]. The writing is engaging and clear, and the author takes great care to support his arguments. Further, Wallin clearly shows the capacity to think in an integrative and holistic manner. I believe most readers will find that they have a deeper understanding and appreciation for attachment theory and how psychotherapy can positively modify insecure attachment styles. I appreciate how Wallin integrates theory with clinical work; his arguments are easy to follow and deserve respect....Readers can expect to stretch their thinking from reading this book; Wallin's approach is both interesting and digestible." (Clinical Social Work Review 2007-03-08)"Wallin nicely links attachment theory to other conceptual, spiritual, and clinical arenas, and illustrates complex concepts with relevant vignettes....Wallin's book is well written, and provides interesting elaboration on attachment based practice while integrating concepts from a variety of fields....It is highly recommended for mental health professionals." (Psychoanalytic Social Work 2007-03-08)“Despite widespread interest, how to really think about attachment in the clinical situation remained for all intents and purposes fairly obscure….All this has changed with the publication of David Wallin's extraordinary book….This intellectual and clinical tour-de-force is what we have been waiting for: a book that is on the one hand a coherent, creative, thoughtful, and remarkably integrated view of contemporary psychoanalysis, with attachment, and attachment processes, at its core, and on the other a reflection on our daily, complex, work with patients. Wallin's ambitious and deeply satisfying book is remarkable for a number of reasons….Wallin is a seasoned, experienced clinician, with a deep appreciation of the complexities of both clinical work and human development. Thus, his clinical voice, and his insights into the clinical experience (both the patient's as well as the therapist's) unify each of his forays into research, theory, and science. Indeed, it is his ability to engage all of these elements at once that makes this such a gem of a book….This book should be essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary psychoanalysis. Few writers have the ability to write so directly and clearly about complex science and theory; his scholarship and reach are extraordinary. This book is also a book for therapists at all levels of experience….He creates a truly contemporary vision of human development, affect regulation, and relational processes, grounded in the body and in the brain, and in the fundamental relationships that make us who we are, as therapists, as patients, and as human beings.” (Psychotherapy 2009-01-01)

I highly recommend this book which is an excellent introduction to a complex topic. The only reason I give it 3 stars is because it needs to be updated to include new research, and information from Dr. Patricia Crittenden, whose Dynamic Maturational Model of Attachment and Adaptation (DMM) takes attachment theory to a much deeper level.Crittenden, who studied under Ainsworth as Main did, adds a number of new elements to attachment theory, expanding both an understanding of childhood and adult attachment and the associated issues. Like others Wallin reviews, she uses Ainsworth's ABC model, and relies on the AAI (as well as other measures). For Crittenden, attachment relationship does not lead to "styles", but rather more flexible "self protective strategies." People are not a "type A", but rather use A strategies, although people can also use C and combined strategies, so people are not simply lumped into one rigid category, as personality theorists tend to do. These strategies are expressed as "dispositional representations" where behaviors, feelings, thoughts and the like depend on the situation. She focuses attachment not around safety but around protection and comfort from danger. She brings in numerous other theories to fill out a robust DMM theory, including memory and information processing. Crittenden also argues that research evidence does not support a "disorganized" category, but rather an organized set of strategies that involve either combined or alternating A and C strategies.Crittenden also identifies a much finer parsing of attachment strategies (styles) as they develop in infancy and then throughout childhood and adolescence. See for example her circumplex at patcrittenden.com. These finer distinctions may help significantly with attachment assessments and counseling approaches. See for example: Shah, P., Fonagy, P., Strathearn, L. (2010). Is attachment transmitted across generations? The plot thickens. Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 15, 329-345.In some ways, the differences between Crittenden and Main's work can be difficult to parse out. It may be the differences are not as great as some think... or perhaps they are. Bowlby and Ainsworth seemed to have difficulty parsing out their respective views. See for example, S. Landa, R. Duschinsky (2013), Letters from Ainsworth: Contesting the `Organization' of Attachment, J Can Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry, 22(2): 172-177 (also at [...]).Wallin does an excellent job of summarizing a complex topic and there is no other resource like his. My wish is that he applies his clear thinking and storytelling skills to include Crittenden's thought so we can bring her work more into the public debate. Attachment theory, from my perspective, is still nascent, holds incredible promise, and needs to continue moving forward. Crittenden's work holds the promise of offering a huge leap forward.

What a tremendously impressive book! Learned, illuminating, accessible (including for lay people like me) -- I found insight on virtually every page. My only complaint (a small one) is that Wallin's treatment of mindfulness has a tacked-on quality; he should have split that off and tackled it separately. But this is a quibble -- if you want to know how attachment works, especially in the context of therapy, this is the book for you.

A very readable, very educational, transformative book. Truly amazing synthesis of attachment theory, psychoanalysis, intersubjectivity, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness and wisdom. Precision and elegance of expression is truly outstanding. The finest book on psychotherapy that I've read in my 40 years of studying psychiatry. The audio version is also very well rendered. The book has been tremendously helpful personally and professionally.

This is a great introduction to attachment theory and you don't need to be a shrink to understand it. Although attachment is an obvious fact of life, it's profound to read about the specific ways it works and can go awry. I found so much in this book that was relevant to my own life and it's really changed my understanding of my posture toward other people. Skip the pop-psych books on attachment that are mostly restatements of a few basic tenets and dive in to this one instead. Highly recommend.

Wallin's book "Attachment in Psychotherapy " is by far a text that every therapist should read and become intimately familiar with. He outlines the attachment in children and their significant caregiver(s) and how this interaction, which eventually manifest into an intra-action of self and how the individual perceives the world and relationships based on this attachment. The book does an excellent job in helping the reader understand how early infant-parent attunement plays a pivotal role in how children form relationships in the future, as well as identifies the type of parenting style that most likely occurred. This knowledge is invaluable to the therapist in treating their clients. I found his book easier to read that Siegal's book "The Developing Mind"(a book I also highly recommend). WELL DONE, Dr. Wallin.Edward Clark, LPC., CCADC; Author of: From Here to Serenity: Unraveling the Mysteries of Yesterday and Today for a Better Tomorrow

David's Wallin's book is an invaluable resource for both for therapists who are new to Attachment Theory as well as for those with a background in the theory who would like to deepen their knowledge. I use this book both when I teach Attachment as well as a resource for my ongoing clinical work with patients.Especially useful are the chapters in which Dr. Wallin breaks down clinical work along the lines of attachment style. In these chapters Wallin points out the adaptations that therapists need to make in response to the vicissitudes of the particular attachment style. For those who are inclined to look at the clinical situation intersubjectively these chapters offer a refreshing perspective on the ways in which the therapist's use of countertransfrence reactions play a central role in the the therapeutic encounter.I highly recommend this book.Zev Ganz, MSW

Groundbreaking book about what it takes to be a successful counselor, able to help others while also learning about yourself. Wallin believes that communication and empathy go hand-in-hand, and that giving of one's self is an essential part of building a therapeutic relationship with a client. Being unafraid to show who you are as a counselor not only builds rapport with your clients, it encourages them to become better people themselves, through the example being set.
