Summary
David J. Wallin, Phd., is a psychologist who has been practicing, writing, and teaching about psychotherapy for nearly four decades. He focuses on attachment theory and research into an innovative framework that grounds adult psychotherapy in the facts of childhood development.
Dr. Wallin highlights the important clinical implications of attachment theory research and how it informs practitioners to be of maximum help. A significant part of his work focuses on the idea that therapy heals by providing clients with a new attachment relationship.
Leaning on the research and influence by Peter Fonagy’s work on mentalization, Wallin concludes that for therapy to heal, it had to go beyond the therapists’ formal training and theoretical understanding; it must include who the therapist is as a person, and better yet, include the therapist’s relationship to their own attachment history.
