Reviews and Endorsements

'Exceptionally coherent and immensely helpful, this book comprehensively reviews how the AAI can be used to guide clinical work in a range of high-priority contexts. This remarkable instrument, which has more than proved itself in the developmental laboratory, also turns out to be a marvelous and versatile tool in the hands of the creative clinician.'
- Peter Fonagy, PhD, FBA, Sub-Department of Clinical Health Psychology, University College London, United Kingdom
