Welcome to therapist uncensored, a podcast where therapists freely speak their minds about real life matters.

We couldn't be more honored to have this guest join us today.

Dr. Alan Shroff of the University of Minnesota Institute of Child Development

joins my co-host Sue Marriott and they discuss his 40 years of research on attachment.

Now the number of books, articles and academic studies he's published is really

unfathomable and you can see a list of many of those in our show notes.

But for now suffice it to say that he's probably one of the most authoritative and

premier attachment researchers out there so you can imagine how happy we are to have

him on the show. Specifically they discuss what he's learned from his

longitudinal work which and he's been able to follow groups of children all the way from birth through adulthood.

So he has a rich, rich depth of knowledge and outcomes to share.

And Sue picks his brain on what he believes is the need to know on attachments.

So now a quick aside speaking of research we are thrilled to say that the first study

validating the treatment ideas of David

Elliot have just been published. And so for those of you new to the

podcast, David Elliot is the co-author of attachment disturbances and adults treatment for comprehensive repair and he was

also our guest on episode I believe 34 so if you had had a chance to listen to

that I'd really recommend it now we are excited to be bringing him to Austin

Texas on April 7th for a conference and we are proudly co-sponsored for that

conference by Austin in Connection. So if you haven't had a chance to sign up go to therapist uncensored.com
