Shaver review the state of the science of attachment-based interventions in psychotherapy and beyond.\u003c\/b\u003e They critically evaluate a range of programs that aim to strengthen parent-child, couple, and therapist-client relationships. The theoretical and empirical underpinnings of each intervention are examined, as are specific techniques used to enhance felt security and foster personal growth. The book also looks at evidence-based interventions outside the mental health domain, including programs that target teacher-student relationships and academic performance. Looking to the future, the authors discuss emerging applications of attachment theory in medicine and health care, management and organizational behavior, and group and intergroup processes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e See also the related work from Mikulincer and Shaver, \u003ci\u003eAttachment Theory Expanded: Security Dynamics in Individuals, Dyads, Groups, and Societies\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMario Mikulincer, PhD, is Professor of Psychology and Founding Dean of the Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology at Reichman University in Israel.
