Join a clinical consultation group!

Would you like to discuss attachment-based approaches to your psychotherapy clients with other professionals? Would you like to use the AAP in your practice but are not reliable yet? Don't plan to get reliable? In addition to using master judges to code your AAPs, you can join a consultation group. Group members bring their professional expertise to consultation. Dr. Carol George meets regularly with an AAP group of clinicians who are using the AAP in their practice. Coding and classification training must be completed. Reliability is not required. Each member presents a case from their practice. The group codes the case together and engages in therapeutic consultation. Sessions are two hours and organized once or twice a month depending on group members' schedules. Contact Dr. George at cygeorge@comcast.net for information about scheduling and consultation rates.

" This book is a must-have resource for anyone using or considering using the AAP, and anyone interested in assessing attachment. Initial chapters provide an orientation to the foundation for the task stimuli and how responses to them are classified, its uses in practice, and a review of the neurophysiological correlates of its scores. In the remaining 13 chapters, talented experts illustrate the illuminating and unique information emerging from the AAP across a range of ages, settings, and presenting issues. Gregory J. Meyer, Ph.D., Professor, University of Toledo, former Editor of Journal of Personality Assessment

The editors have brought together an impressive group of international researchers and practitioners to highlight the clinical use of the Adult Attachment Projective Picture System (AAP). The chapters offer compelling examples of the AAP’s value for clinical practice, assessment, or intervention, especially in the context of attachment trauma and intergenerational transmission risk. It is a must for any student or practitioner working with vulnerable adults and parents and seeking to understand the fundamental underlying attachment mechanisms involved in the development of trauma and resilience. Chantal Cyr, Ph.D., Full professor, Department of Psychology, Université du Québec à Montréal, and Canada Research Chair in Child Attachment and Development
