Attachment-Based Therapy in the context of psychology refers to a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of early attachment relationships in shaping an individual's emotional and psychological development. Originating from John Bowlby’s attachment theory, this form of therapy focuses on the client's early attachment experiences and their impact on current behavior, emotional responses, and relationships. The goal is to identify and address issues related to insecure or disordered attachment patterns that may contribute to mental health issues.
