Description

Join attachment experts, Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Dan Hughes, and be captivated by the influence of attachment from cradle to grave.

Attachment provides clinicians with a secure base to stand on, to see what is going on, and to systematically target those aspects to help your client. By using Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, you will understand the framework of attachment and how to create a secure emotional connection between couples. You will also learn how to apply the theoretical model of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy in your daily practice, in order to support children and their families grow within their relationships.

In this six-session recording, Dr. Sue Johnson, developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dr. Dan Hughes, founder and developer of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), describe the great impact of attachment and how EFT and DDP can reveal the elements of attachment.

Through intimate and interactive conversations, watch both Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Dan Hughes as they take you, step-by-step, through the models that could help your client create healthy and secure attachments.
