14 Attachment in Clinical Practice: Relational Transformation and the Psychology of the Clinician In his acclaimed book, David Wallin spelled out the implications of integrating attachment research with neuroscience, relational psychoanalysis, mindfulness and a focus on the body to help clinicians become more effective facilitators of growth and healing. In this seminar he presents us with a distillation of the understandings obtained in his book but takes it a step further into also focusing on work within the relationship as the primary therapeutic intervention: the explicit and implicit ways that clinicians can facilitate healing, growth and change.
