Attachment Disability: Misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mismanaged. Until now.To be human is to cultivate attachments: to endeavor to form stable and trusting relationships. Attachment Disability results when stability and trust are broken as a result of separation, loss, abuse, or abandonment. People who undergo these traumas can react with lasting mistrust and paralyzing anxiety. But there is hope for sufferers from Attachment Disability: an approach based on understanding how the condition manifests in a person''s life and taking practical steps to manage those effects.The Attachment Disability Handbook is a distillation of the principles introduced in Dr. John Curran''s more comprehensive Attachment Disability Volume 1. He designed this handbook specifically for people in the helping and healing professions who may not be aware of this form of disability and the crises it can engender, and who need the tools to address it. Here they will learn to identify the three forms of Attachment Disability-avoidance, entanglement, and acting-out-and discover the three steps to effective management of the condition: clarification, acceptance, and focusing on the modifications in thinking and behavior that work.
