Synopsis:

Attachment-based Practice with Adults: The Interviewing Guide is a practical tool for enhancing attachment-based practice with adults by understanding key ‘discourse markers’ used by clients in therapeutic interviews, and guiding practitioners to respond in appropriate, constructive ways. Integrated within the first edition of Attachment-based Practice with Adults but available separately for the second edition, the guide helps therapeutic practitioners to consider the implications of discourse – and offers a wide range of ideas for how to respond in ways that help clients to become more coherent and integrated and promote positive change.

After introducing different forms of human memory and exploring how they impact on thoughts and behaviour, the central section of The Interviewing Guide allows readers to see how the three core attachment strategies described in the main Attachment-based Practice with Adults, Second Edition resource (‘distancing’, ‘preoccupied’ and ‘balanced’), are typically expressed in verbal and non-verbal communication. Reproducible marking sheets allow readers to keep a log of interviews they conduct, increasing their familiarity and confidence with patterns of discourse, their underlying functions and the most effective and helpful ways in which therapists can contribute and respond.
