Attachment Narrative Therapy
by:  Rudi Dallos

Product Description

• What are some of the central connections between narrative, systemic and attachment therapies?
• How do early emotional experiences in families shape our narratives about ourselves and our families?
• In what ways do family attachments shape our narrative abilities, such as being able to reflect on and integrate our experiences?

This book sets out a framework for practice – Attachment Narrative Therapy – that provides a new approach to working with families, couples and individuals. This is not offered as a prescriptive model but as an aid and guide to practice that draws aspects of narrative and attachment therapy into systemic work. The synthesis of these ideas offers clinicians a new integrative way to approach their practice – one in which the three approaches are used to create a greater whole than their constituent parts.The book includes:

• Clinical examples
• Personal reflections
• Frameworks for clinical practice
• Therapeutic guides that include details of the application of core techniques
• Extensive reading guides that offer connections to related theory and practice

Attachment Narrative Therapy is essential reading for a wide variety of therapists and counsellors along with researchers and trainers in those fields. It also provides insight into good practice for health and social welfare professionals in the area of family and child welfare.

The contributors include a wide range of experts who provide up-to-date evidence-based clinical and programmatic strategies for working with children of alcohol and other substance-abusing parents of any age and in almost any practice setting.

Parental drug abuse and alcoholism have an enormously detrimental impact on children and adolescents. Children whose parents suffer from drug abuse or alcoholism often face multiple physical, mental, and behavioral issues. They are at a greater risk for depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and addiction, and also are known to have poor school attendance, difficulty concentrating, and lower IQ scores.

This book offers health care practitioners proactive programs and innovative strategies to use with this vulnerable population. Taking a comprehensive, life course approach, the authors discuss the implications and interventions at the prenatal stage, through childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and adulthood. With this book, social workers and health care practitioners can help assess and intervene with children of substance abusing parents.

Key topics:

• Dynamics in families with substance abusing parents and treatment implications
• Issues across the life span of children of substance abusing parents
• Prevention and early intervention programs for pregnant women who abuse substances
• Programs for young children, adolescents, college students, and children with incarcerated parents
