A classic work on family therapy focusing on attachment and intersubjectivity

- Daniel Hughes, a renowned clinician and attachment expert, was the first to apply attachment theory to a family therapy setting, extending the traditional model.
His representative work, Attachment-Centered Family Therapy, is based on the role of parents in promoting their children's emotional development and is the first book to provide comprehensive guidance on family attachment therapy.

- Based on over 20 years of clinical experience, Hughes uses the principles of 'attachment' and 'intersubjectivity' theory in this book to recognize and solve problems of individuals and families.
He presents a comprehensive and effective treatment model that involves all family members.

- This book provides the attitude of PACE (pleasure, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy), which is the core of attachment-centered family therapy, and provides abundant help and examples of conversations to implement it.
It also offers ways to manage family shame through emotional/reflective dialogue, understand and embrace the cycle of rupture and repair, and explore and resolve childhood trauma.
