 Attachment:
New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis
is a new leading edge journal for clinicians working
relationally with their clients; it is a professional journal,
not an academic journal, featuring cultural articles, politics,
reviews and poetry relevant to attachment and relational issues;
an inclusive journal welcoming contributions from clinicians
of all orientations seeking to make a contribution to attachment
approaches to clinical work. It includes up to date briefings
on latest developments in neuroscience relevant to psychotherapy
and counselling and is an international journal with contributions
from colleagues from different countries and cultures.
"This
new journal fills a still significant gap in the existing,
albeit large, volume of literature on attachment theory
and research. With an exclusive focus on presenting, discussing
and enhancing clinical work inspired by attachment theory
and research, this new journal will be of immediate and
enduring interest to all those who pursue fresh thinking
and feeling in how best to achieve and maintain attachment
security, and the resolution of mourning concerning past
loss or trauma. This new journal speaks to the heart of
all that John Bowlby devoted himself to for "whereas
attachment theory was formulated by a clinician for use
in diagnosis and treatment of emotionally disturbed patients
and families, its usage hitherto has been to promote research
in developmental psychology" (Bowlby, 1988, p. ix).
In this centenary year since Bowlby's birth, there may be
no greater tribute to him than the launch of Attachment:
New Directions in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis."

"ATTACHMENT: New Directions in Psychotherapy and
Psychoanalysis is a most welcome new journal, which promises
to be both lively and accessible to practitioners. Theory
and practice are joined in case material, poetry and anecdote
in which the manifold workings of the attachment system
are manifest."
