The Role of Brief Therapy in Attachment Disorders provides a comprehensive summary of the range of approaches that exist within the brief therapy world, including Cognitive Analytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Ericksonian Therapy, Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy, Provocative Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Self Relations Therapy. Historically, many of the founders of these therapies commenced their psychotherapy career as psychodynamic or systemic therapists, and have found their allegiance in briefer therapies, viewing these as more respectful and offering greater potential for assisting the client to change through an outcome oriented approach. A series of case studies bring these theoretical concepts into life and challenges the notion that attachment disorders can only be addressed through a prolonged psychodynamic relationship with the client. The book considers the potential for neurological repair, growth and ongoing development of the individual through the work of Schore, Gerhardt and Hart among others. This opportunity for repair is then linked to the latest theories on attachment disorders and the role of the therapist in creating the optimum environment for change is considered.
