WEBINAR VIDEO | Attachment-based Psychotherapy with Dr. Mark Schwartz

This webinar reviews our work at Harmony Place Monterey on Attachment-based Psychotherapy with clients presenting with disorganized attachment. Ogawa and Associates documented that clients having disorganized attachment in infancy present with adult dissociative disorders. Therefore, our first priority in therapy is to focus on structural dissociation.

Polarized internal parts of self are at civil war. Gestalt or Parts Work is critical to end the fighting and move the parts of self to a more peaceful interplay.

The second focus of this webinar is about helping the client create a coherent life narrative. An avoidant attachment style tends to diminish affect and blocks developmental details, making it difficult to establish a coherent narrative. Interviewing family members can help fill in those details.

A preponderance of anxious or preoccupied attachment often results in the client being overly focused on anger toward, or idealization of, caretakers, resulting in exceptionally long narratives. We will review the best approaches for these attachment styles.
