Increasingly, theories of attachment and emotion processing have been used to understand and guide the goals and process of family therapy. Such goals and processes are aimed at healing and strengthening the emotional attachment bonds between parents/caregivers and their children. One clinical path through which this occurs is joining with and supporting parents and caregivers to engage in treatment and increase their openness to their child’s experiences. Five renowned clinicians utilize various clinical methods related to attachment and emotional frameworks to guide this reparative process. These approaches utilize experiential dialogues directly in sessions to assist parents and caregivers in reconnecting with their capacity for collaborative communication. In this clinical series, these leaders will present their approaches individually and then meet to discuss their unique methods to support parents and caregivers.
