Redeeming Attachment is a powerful work to help us more effectively minister and offer wise counsel to those with attachment wounds. Using cutting-edge research on attachment, the book breaks down a wealth of information into understandable language and ideas about the pathways to God and how we attach to Him in adaptive or maladaptive-broken ways.
In these pages, students will also learn how attachment relates to psychopathology, and how chronic depression and attachment injuries are linked. It also describes behavioral patterns that maintain chronic depression, how strategies used to treat depression will also move a person towards a secure autonomous attachment style.
