| Title: | CAAT – Clinical applications of attachment theory |
| Project Description: | This project will address clinical practice relating to child mental health, including the context of adoption and fostering, exploring when and how clinicians draw upon attachment theory in making sense of difficulties and symptoms experienced by children and in work supporting families. It builds upon existing research into the use of attachment theory and diagnoses within clinical practice (e.g. Woolgar & Baldock, 2015; DeJong, Hodges & Malik, 2016), and investigates the extent to which the integrity of attachment concepts and methods are maintained when applied meaningfully to routine practice. |
