Understanding Attachment and Attachment Disorders: Theory, Evidence and Practice de Vivien Prior

Understanding Attachment and Attachment Disorders: Theory, Evidence and Practice: Child and Adolescent Mental Health

Autor Vivien Prior, Danya Glaser
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2006

Notăm cu interes apariția acestui volum în cadrul seriei Child and Adolescent Mental Health, o resursă care se distinge prin rigoarea cu care tratează intersecția dintre cercetarea academică și practica clinică. Bazându-ne pe expertiza autorilor Vivien Prior și Danya Glaser, remarcăm o structură logică în cinci părți care ghidează cititorul de la fundamentele teoretice ale atașamentului până la complexitatea intervențiilor terapeutice. Volumul nu se limitează la o expunere conceptuală, ci integrează tabele și figuri esențiale pentru înțelegerea instrumentelor de evaluare a îngrijirii și atașamentului.

Considerăm că punctul forte al lucrării Understanding Attachment and Attachment Disorders este demitizarea „tulburărilor de atașament”. Într-un domeniu în care circulă numeroase afirmații speculative, autorii pledează pentru o abordare disciplinată, ancorată în date empirice. Comparabil cu Handbook of Attachment de Jude Cassidy în ceea ce privește rigurozitatea, acest volum este actualizat pentru nevoile specifice ale profesioniștilor care lucrează în sisteme multi-instituționale, fiind mai accesibil pentru asistenții sociali și cadrele didactice fără a sacrifica profunzimea academică. Progresia editorială urmărește influența atașamentului asupra dezvoltării copilului și analizează critic validitatea teoriei în diverse culturi, oferind o perspectivă globală necesară în sociologia contemporană a familiei.

Spre deosebire de alte manuale care se concentrează exclusiv pe psihoterapie, această lucrare publicată de JESSICA KINGSLEY PUBLISHERS oferă un cadru de referință pentru diagnosticarea corectă și diferențierea între comportamentele adaptative și patologia reală, fiind un instrument de lucru indispensabil în sănătatea mintală a copilului și adolescentului.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte profesioniștilor din asistență socială, psihologie și educație care au nevoie de o bază științifică solidă pentru a înțelege dinamica atașamentului. Cititorul câștigă capacitatea de a distinge între intervențiile bazate pe dovezi și teoriile speculative, primind instrumente concrete de evaluare. Este o lectură esențială pentru oricine gestionează cazuri complexe de adopție, plasament sau traumă timpurie, oferind claritate într-un domeniu adesea marcat de ambiguitate.

Descriere

This book offers a thorough examination and discussion of the evidence on attachment, its influence on development, and attachment disorders.

In Part One, the authors outline attachment theory, the influence of sensitive and insensitive caregiving and the applicability of attachment theory across cultures. Part Two presents the various instruments used to assess attachment and caregiving. Part Three outlines the influence of attachment security on the child's functioning. Part Four examines the poorly understood phenomenon of attachment disorder. Presenting the evidence of scientific research, the authors reveal how attachment disorders may be properly conceptualised. Referring to some of the wilder claims made about attachment disorder, they argue for a disciplined, scientific approach that is grounded in both attachment theory and the evidence base. The final part is an overview of evidence-based interventions designed to help individuals form secure attachments.

Summarising the existing knowledge base in accessible language, this is a comprehensive reference book for professionals including social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers, lawyers and researchers. Foster and adoptive parents, indeed all parents, and students will also find it of interest.

Recenzii

Attachment theory is currently a hot topic, so it is essential for all psychology enthusiasts and clinicians to have at least some understanding of its theories and applications. However, most texts are complicated to grasp, with intricate theories enmeshed from multiple directions. This book changes that. Here the authors provide an easily digestible introduction to attachment of theory; assessments of attachment and care giving; the impact of attachment security; attachment disorders and treatments. What was of particular interest to me was the chapter on the theories' validity across cultures - a very relevant aspect considering the growing multicultural society of the UK. It draws on the research evidence to unite the more conclusive findings on attachment. This guides the clinician and student toward an understanding of this enlightening approach to explaining, in part, why we are to a large degree a product of our environment.
In my opinion, this book will be valuable not only for mental health professionals but also useful for pediatricians and family physicians who want to update their knowledge in attachment and its disorders.
It should be a standard recommended text on clinical psychology programmes as well as other training programmes for health and social care staff working with families.
Overall, this is a useful and authoritative resource. It achieves a great deal, and will be a most useful purchase for libraries and for those directly concerned with these issues as they affect children and young people.
Prior (behavioural and brain sciences, Institute of Child Health, London) and Glaser, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for children in London, discuss attachment disorders. They consider theory, the assessment of attachment patterns, and disturbances with an evidence-based approach. Topics of note include parenting, multiple caregivers, the applicability of theory across different cultures, functioning, and interventions and therapeutic approaches. The book is aimed at social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers, lawyers and researchers. Both author and subject indexes are provided. All books in this series are based on the work of FOCUS, a multidisciplinary project at the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Research and Training Unit.
Summarising the existing knowledge base in accessible language, this is a comprehensive reference book for professionals including social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, teachers, lawyers and researchers. Foster and adoptive parents, in deed all parents, and students will also find it of interest.
The FOCUS project of the Royal College of Psychiatrists to promote and disseminate information about evidence-based research and practice underpinning child and adolescent mental health services is driven by, and values good quality scientific endeavour and thinking.
The work of John Bowlby's attachment theory continues to develop and grow with this new volume... The authors give a comprehensive insight into the latest research, assessment and significance of attachment theories cross- culturally.
This book is timely. The outline of attachment is clearly presented, the classification system follows well, and understanding how the attachments evolve and the factors involved is helpful. I particularly liked the section on different cultures and what has been explored across differing parenting styles and social groupings - its well worth reading. Anyone planning to undertake a research project or clinical study will find this book extremely helpful when trying to select the best available method.
This is a text that is packed with research evidence and, therefore, will serve as a useful reference tool. The links to practice are clear, and practitioners will be enabled to work towards a more evidence-based approach in their work with children and their caregivers.
Understanding Attachment and Attachment Disorders is a text applicable to large audiences, and proves a succinct traverse into the field of attachment disorders.
With the current emphasis on the education of children in public care, and multi-agency approaches to these children, this is a recommended text for the service bookshelf and for local authority educational psychologists with an interest in the area. It is also pertinent for independent educational psychologists involved in assessment of children in public and private Court cases.
