ATTACHMENT AND PERSONALITY IN CLINICAL SETTINGS

The book begins with a concise and readable synopsis of Bowlby&rsquo,s attachment theory and a summary of the research relating attachment status to psychopathology&hellip, Next, Lis and colleagues examine the two major methods of assessing attachment status, the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the Adult Attachment Projective (AAP)&hellip, Then, the authors review the two most widely used personality assessment instruments &mdash, the MMPI/MMPI-2 and the Rorschach inkblots (as scored and interpreted by Exner&rsquo,s Comprehensive System) &mdash, and discuss how these tests relate to the concepts of attachment&hellip, The latter third of the book consists of fi ve case studies in which the authors illuminate the lives of clients from different clinical settings&hellip, This book is a gift, and Lis, Mazzeschi, Salcuni, and Di Riso have had courage to tackle a daunting task not yet attempted by others. I appreciate their efforts and am sure you will too. (From the Foreword by Stephen Finn, PhD.)_,_,10_
