Attachment Across Clinical and Cultural Perspectives: A Relational Psychoanalytic Approach

Attachment theory has made a huge contribution to psychoanalysis, and in this book, a distinguished group of contributors explore its important in cultural, clinical and social contexts. They explore how attachment can be understood across a range of different cultural contexts, identifying what is common across cultures and can vary within the range of secure attachment. This understanding of cultural variation is then applied to a range of clinical contexts, to enable psychoanalysts to work more effectively with patients from various backgrounds. The book also explores how differences in attachment can be reflected in changes in the brain, and how this can affect clinical practice.
