Attachment – New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis

Attachment: New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis is a vibrant, cutting-edge journal promoting modern attachment theory in the clinical setting. Attachment brings together leading clinicians and theorists from around the world to provide an illuminating forum of outstanding papers and ideas from noted contributors, such as Beatrice Beebe, Jeremy Holmes, Daniel Stern, Arietta Slade, Giovanni Liotti, Philip Bromberg, Karlen Lyons-Ruth, and many more. Alongside, you will find sections on poetry, art, book and film reviews, which advance mental health in a human and non-pathologising fashion. By tapping into the therapist’s right-brain communication, this pioneering journal represents a major step in bringing to life attachment-based and relational psychoanalysis.

“This journal fills a still significant gap in the existing, albeit large, volume of literature on attachment theory and research. With an exclusive focus on presenting, discussing and enhancing clinical work inspired by attachment theory and research, this journal will be of immediate and enduring interest to all those who pursue fresh thinking and feeling in how best to achieve and maintain attachment security, and the resolution of mourning concerning past loss or trauma. This journal speaks to the heart of all that John Bowlby devoted himself to.” 
Howard Steele, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology, New School for Social Research, New York

“A most welcome journal, both lively and accessible to practitioners. Theory and practice are joined in case material, poetry and anecdote in which the manifold workings of the attachment system are manifest.”
Judith Lewis Herman Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
