In the form of attachment therapy, which I practice, the therapist provides the structure, guidelines and safety which enable the chilld to attach to his or her caregiver. As a therapist, I model behavior, instruct, and enforce and dictate safety rules, but do not attach to the child—that is the mother’s/caregiver’s job and privilege. Parents/caregivers are also helped to see how issues from their own childhoods can be triggered by the attachment disordered child. Many therapeutic modalities are employed in this form or attachment therapy: re-parenting, role-playing, therapist-supervised parent holdings (parents hold child while supervised by therapist), modeling of behaviors, paradoxing, behavioral shaping, cognitive restructuring, Gestalt Therapy, family therapy, psychotherapeutic energy and body work.

The
goal of this therapy is to create a mutual healthy attachment
between child and caregiver. Once this attachment is formed, the
child feels a sense of safety and trust resulting in a decrease
in disruptive behaviors.
