Attachment-based Practice with Adults
Over the past several decades, following the ground-breaking work of John Bowlby, there has been a steadily growing interest in attachment theory and attachment-informed practice among social care professionals. Attachment theory has come to be regarded as fundamental to understanding not only childhood development and how people survive, adapt and grow, but also how the capacity of partners, parents and carers to offer safe and consistent care is shaped, particularly under conditions of anxiety, threat and danger (Howe et al, 1999; Karen, 1998). This makes attachment theory and attachment-based practice a vital resource for any practitioner whose focus is on improving the safety and quality of relationships between partners and between parents/carers and children.
