5.0 out of 5 stars "Thats what it means!", 12 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Loved this book so much! It gave me lots of info that brought my experiences,thoughts, intuition and knowladge together.

I found myself contantly saying Thats what it is! meaning that I have worked with children parents complex and otherwise and had seen that it was the parents or childs perception of what was happening or how they perceived it to be going to happen, that informed thier every day life and at times caused adults to maltreate children. The affects on this of a childs attachment to a care giver is what this book is essentially about.

The meatyness of this book was so satisfying. it has been a long time since I have read a book that has met my needs as a worker and my desire as a person to understand more about attachment and move on, the information that Bowlby gave us.

This book also talks about the reality of work with Maltreating parents and the outcome for children of living with such care. I have found it has spurred me on to try and offer more to the parent's, to undertand the internal working model of the child and the parent. Yet I have also had a determination to evidence my reports in such a way that means that the long term outcomes and affects on children of a lack in their attachment should be clearly understood and acted upon in some cases.

I am very lucky to be booked into a two day training cource by the author which will no doubt give me another feast.

5.0 out of 5 stars the ideal handbook, 21 Feb 2005
By H. Musto "nell59" (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book makes for an excellent handbook. Comprehensive yet easy to read and easy to reference the theory base is divided up into manageable sections with useful headings that allow you to review typical attachment behaviours from infancy to adult and parenthood. Ideal for the busy practitioner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much to offer the busy Practitioner and Supervisor, 21 Jul 2001
There is much in this text to offer the busy Practitioner and Supervisor a framework for understanding the often challenging and demanding responses and relationships of service users. The accessible introduction to attachment theoy is then applied to both assessment and intervention in work with children and families. Whilst the book reinforces a 'therapeutic' approach that may appear idealistic to some it appropriately reminds us to view our own relationships with service users as ones that will also trigger attachment behaviour. As such it encourages an empathic and reflective approach to practice that steers away from framing responses, both in Practitioners and service users, through a blaming lense. This builds on Howe's earlier work questioning the rise of proceduralism in social work practice. As a supervisor I have found the text useful to keep reflection focused upon relationships with people and associated dynamics as opposed to a procedural preoccupation. One weakness is the miminal attention to building motivation and engagement as most of the interventions detailed assume this key preliminary task has been achieved. Nonetheless, the key meesage I read was to develop appropriate relationships and not to see practice as the sum of following procedures - to go one step further - do that little extra - express openness, clarity and empathy.
