Grounded in theory and built on new research findings based on adult attachment styles, it brings together ideas on attachment and the connections that counsellors and therapists make with the people who seek their help.

Reviews
In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Yusmarhaini demonstrates how the therapist's adult attachment style can both help and hinder the development and maintenance of the therapeutic alliance. "Knowing yourself" is key to being an effective therapist or counsellor: this book shows you how. -- Emeritus Professor, Professor John Carpenter DSc. * University of Bristol, UK *
