Building the Bonds of Attachment by Daniel A Hughes (2017)

Building the Bonds of Attachment uses a case study to show how a child can heal after severe abuse and neglect. Hughes – an eminent clinician and attachment specialist with more than 20 years of experience – combines theory, research and practical strategies to guide therapists, social workers, students, and parents in helping children build healthy attachments.

Think of this book as a practical guide for the adult – whether a professional or a parent – who endeavours to help a child who has experienced serious trauma and, as a result, is suffering attachment issues.
