What Helps When Children and Families Struggle

An Attachment-Informed Guide for Families and Clinicians

Written for both families and clinicians, What Helps When Children and Families Struggle offers an introduction to attachment theory as it relates to family life. The authors weave a simple and clear discussion of what families can do to support strong connections and what to do when things have fallen off track. Consistent with a relational focus on mental health the authors strongly advocate the use of family therapy as the entry point to mental health services when a family member is struggling. Through the use of metaphors, the text is a highly practical guide for the ups and downs of family life.
