Attachment and Adult Psychotherapy

In this remarkable book, Pat Sable, with evident mastery, brings together the original basic concepts, recent attachment-based developments, and relevant clinical material to provide a rich and comprehensive application of attachment theory to psychotherapy with adults. Dr. Sable illustrates how attachment disorders are manifest in agoraphobia, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, emotional detachment, and conflictual attachment of borderline patients, and emotionally abusive attachments. Highlighting the therapeutic relationship as an opportunity to experience secure attachment, Dr. Sable explains that this relationship provides the foundation for any therapeutic change.
