Attachment Theory as a Foundation for Psychotherapy Integration

This special issue is devoted to a survey of contemporary integrative approaches that rely on attachment theory as a theoretical foundation. This issue was conceived and completed due to the extraordinary influence that attachment theory has had on thinking and practice within the field of psychotherapy integration. It is hoped this issue will serve as a marker of where that influence has taken us, and where attachment theory might take us from here.
