Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild emotionally protective, secure relationships between family members. With its unique emphasis on the adolescent's developmental need for attachment and autonomy, ABFT aims to facilitate corrective attachment experiences within the therapy session. Although the model is trauma-focused and process-oriented, it provides a clear structure for this reparative process. In this video, Dr. Guy S. Diamond discusses the core ABFT principles and clinical strategies, the theoretical basis of the approach, and the evidence base that supports it. In the demonstration, Dr. Diamond works closely with a mother, a father, and their teenage daughter as they cope with the daughter's struggle with depression and her suicide attempt. Dr. Diamond listens attentively to all family members and then encourages the parents to focus on rebuilding an emotionally protective family structure for their daughter. This DVD features clients portrayed by actors on the basis of a composite of several cases.
