Having introduced contemporary attachment theory, its links with neurobiology and the importance of personal stories, the manual and audio DVD provide five powerful case studies to illustrate the three different attachment strategies, with audio interviews, commentaries and guided practical exercises. A detailed Interviewing Guide provides an invaluable framework for conducting and making sense of interviews, with examples of possible responses which might promote integration. Further exercises provide the basis for assessment and intervention with clients, and a final section shows how attachment-informed supervision can help to enhance practice.
Attachment-based Practice with Adults increases the confidence of practitioners to act as change agents with their clients, and to relate to them in attuned and effective ways. It is relevant to diverse professions and modalities, and can be used in a multidisciplinary environment by both adult and children's services. It can be used by individuals, teams, co-workers, supervisors, teachers and trainers to reflect on and improve the preparation, use and support of attachment thinking in practice.

About the Author
TONY MORRISON was a leading figure in the field of social care, particularly respected for his work on supervision, staff development and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. After completing his training in 1977, he worked as a probation officer with Greater Manchester Probation Service before joining the NSPCC Special Unit in Rochdale, where he and colleagues were instrumental in developing an assessment framework used in child protection. He became an independent trainer and consultant in 1989. At a time when treatment for sexual offenders was only just developing in the UK, he was the co-founder and first chair of the National Organisation for the Treatment of Abusers. He was made an MBE in 1998 in recognition of his efforts in creating a network to support and develop professionals undertaking this challenging work. Tony died suddenly in 2010.
