Holistic Attachment Summit Reading List.
Discover the books that have shaped the thinking of the world’s leading pioneers in evidence-based attachment treatment.
For this summit, we interviewed the leading minds from a wide range of disciplines to uncover their best practices for healing attachment and developmental trauma— people like Bessel van der Kolk, Stephen Porges, Janina Fisher, Steven Hayes, Pat Ogden, the late Dr Sue Johnson, Richard Schwartz, Laurel Parnell, Dan Siegel, and Linda Thai.
At the end of each discussion, we asked them to recommend three books that every mental health professional should read on attachment, and we’re now sharing them with you in this free guide.

Mind, Body, Social, & Spiritual Approaches for Healing Attachment: 30 World-Leading Pioneers Share Their Best Practices
Recent years have seen a resurgence in interest in Attachment Theory and its applications in therapeutic practice. Developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, Attachment Theory explains that our relationship with our primary caregiver in early years continues to influence us in later life.
Problems in attachment are often the root cause of many common mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety and addiction. Understanding the dynamics of attachment is therefore critical for anyone working in the helping professions today. This summit will introduce participants to the most essential ideas in attachment theory, research, and their clinical applications — enabling you to be at the forefront of evidence-based care.
