Product Description
This eloquent book translates attachment theory and research into an innovative framework that grounds adult psychotherapy in the facts of childhood development. Advancing a model of treatment as transformation through relationship, the author integrates attachment theory with neuroscience, trauma studies, relational psychotherapy, and the psychology of mindfulness. Vivid case material illustrates how therapists can tailor interventions to fit the attachment needs of their patients, thus helping them to generate the internalized secure base for which their early relationships provided no foundation. Demonstrating the clinical uses of a focus on nonverbal interaction, the book describes powerful techniques for working with the emotional responses and bodily experiences of patient and therapist alike.

Lucid and helpful. And for a fascinating book by another brilliant psychiatrist August 20, 2008

I recommend That's How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist by Susan Rako, M.D. The title comes from a song by Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." Rako's book is remarkably candid, insightful, and wonderfully well-written. It's a fine read. The writing just flows.

This is an outstanding collection by the main thinkers in AT and a must reference for anyone working in the field. It is not always easy reading but a more overall coverage of the subect from start to present will be hard to find.
An outstanding book July 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an outstanding book. I read it through twice - something I almost never do. Wallin clearly expounds theory, summarising attachment theory and related fields, and moving on to clinical applications. It is very readable, and I warmly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their practice of attachment-informed psychotherapy, or learn about attachment theory and related developing fields such as mentalisation. Wallin's discussion of mindfulness is especially interesting and thought provoking.
Skillful integration July 3, 2008

David Wallin presents a skillful integration of the road maps of attachment theory, intersubjectivity, neuroscience and mindfulness to help readers develop a Wise Understanding of the journey from a wounded "me" to a healthy "I" to experiencing an awareness beyond the personal self that we could call the realm of the Wise Self.
You really should read this book if you're interested in contemporary attachment theory. June 9, 2008

I'm a doctoral student in clinical psych and I loved this book. While it somewhat deepened my depth of knowledge concerning attachment in psychotherapy, moreso it does an excellent job of showing how it directly relates to what you actually do in a session. It's coverage of and relavence to the current analytic climate (e.g. relational psychoanalysis/intersubjectivity theory) is excellent and supplemented by a thorough discussion of the current empirical evidence coming to our field via related fields (e.g. neuropsych research, cognitive science, etc.). I would recommend this book to any student as part of their graduate training in clinical psych or as an accompanying text to a graduate level psychodynamic or developmental course.
