Attachment theory provides the most reliable and research-based approach to working with couple clients available today. As such it will enrich your practice as it helps you to get to the heart of your clients’ issues: their needs for security, connection, intimacy and love. It enables a deeper appreciation of how close relationships are formed which directly correlates with how to help couples understand and resolve their problems. It explains the fundamental importance of close relationships to our wellbeing and across the lifespan ‘from the cradle to the grave’ (Bowlby, 1979).
Learning objectives :
- Learn key concepts of attachment theory, infant brain development and relevance to couple relationships particularly internal working models of close relationships
- Explore interaction of attachment styles and internal working models in a couple
- Understand interaction of the various motivational systems (sex, caregiving, care seeking, intimacy, exploration) involved in intimate adult relationships to ascertain and evaluate couples’ issues
- Identify key triggers of the attachment system and consequences of this system being triggered
- Apply learning to a case study
- Reflect upon personal attachment style and internal working model. Implications for practice
- Tools, exercises and practical strategies to enhance clients’ awareness of their attachment style
- Introduction to developmental trauma, intergenerational transmission of insecure attachment and trauma
