Attachment-based family therapy for depressed adolescents
Diamond, G S
Attachment-based family therapy for depressed adolescents - Washington, DC American Psychological Association 2014
This book describes clinical strategies for therapists, as well as the theoretical basis of the attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) approach and the evidence base that supports it. ABFT emerges from interpersonal theories that suggest adolescent depression and suicide can be precipitated, exacerbated, or buffered against by the quality of interpersonal relationships in families. The authors outline five treatment phases, or ""tasks,"" which each have distinct goals and strategies: relational reframe; adolescent alliance; parent alliance; repairing attachment; promoting autonomy. The chapters blend empirical research with clinical guidance, illustrative vignettes, and a case study."
