MAPA Conscious Parenting is introducing a series dedicated to children's mental health, the importance of strong and secure psychological attachment with a caregiver, and the influence an insecure attachment has on a child's early development and adult life.

We invited Dr. David Elliott, clinical psychologist, author, and trainer, to take a deep dive into attachment theory and practice.

"During recent years, Dr. Elliott has taken a particular interest in secure and insecure attachment. Attachment is a bond that develops between infants and parents or caregivers, and ideally that bond is secure, meaning that the growing child consistently feels safe and experiences that his or her caregivers will be available, protective, attuned, comforting, delighted by and encouraging of his or her unique self.

If the attachment bond is insecure, then the child does not experience these with his or her caregiver. Insecure attachment underlies many later- developing psychological and emotional problems.

Treating insecure attachment in adults is the focus of a book, Attachment Disturbances in Adults: Treatment for Comprehensive Repair (2016), that Dr. Elliott co-authored with Daniel Brown, Ph.D., with contributions from seven other psychotherapists who were part of an attachment study group convened by Dr. Brown.
