Attachment Theory: A Metaperspective for Counseling Psychology?

Lyddon, William J.

Counseling Psychologist, v23 n3 p479-83 Jul 1995

Analyzes attachment theory's viability as an overarching framework for counseling psychology. Places particular emphasis on the integrative potential and heuristic value of the theory, arguing that it can use biological (structural), psychological (cognitive/affective), and social dimensions of experience to clarify developmental dynamics in self-change and self-stability.
