Attachment books - recommendations please

S sadlyMember
I would really appreciate good books on attachment difficulties. I was recommended here, The General Theory of Love and I found that VERY helpful and now my sweetP is reading it and he is finding it really interesting too. So now I would like another book.
SweetP said on Friday that he agrees with me, that my main pain is around very early attachment stuff and that is really what we need to focus on - and the trauma issues, whilst immensely painful, are not the core issue.

AT last he is understanding.

He is away for ten days now, unexpectedly, so that is hard.

Thank you if you can recommend helpful books,
Sadly

Sadly, sorry to hear sweetP is away for 10 days unexpectedly. I know how hard that is. But it's great to hear how open he is to reading books and to learning more about attachment.

I would recommend Attachment and Psychotherapy by David Wallin

Parenting from the Inside Out by Daniel Siegel and Mary Hartzell

Becoming Attached by Robert Karen

I have listed them in the order of my preference.

Hope that helps.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
