Attachment Therapy

Attachment therapy refers to a controversial and varied set of therapeutic practices aimed at addressing issues related to attachment disorders. Attachment disorders typically stem from early childhood experiences, such as neglect, abuse, or inconsistent caregiving, which can disrupt the ability to form secure emotional bonds. While the term "attachment therapy" has been used broadly, it is often associated with practices aimed at promoting secure attachment between children and their caregivers.

Purpose of Attachment Therapy

The primary goal of attachment therapy is to help individuals—especially children—develop healthier attachment patterns. This involves addressing difficulties such as:

  • Difficulty trusting others

  • Poor emotional regulation

  • Problems forming and maintaining relationships

  • Aggression or withdrawal in social situations
