Misconceptions
It is vital that our program and attachment more generally not be confused with holding therapy.
Our approach is informed especially by attachment and stress neurobiology. It is important to differentiate attachment theory as we are referring to here, and attachment therapy or holding therapy. We suggest that our parent training program derives clearly and logically from attachment theory as originally intended by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. Forced holding and restraint do not derive from attachment theory and, indeed, are at odds with the theory. It is vital that our program and attachment more generally not be confused with holding therapy.
