Exploring the Dynamics of Attachment in Adult life

​(THE MCCLUSKEY MODEL)

Fran Guilding BACP accredited Psychotherapist and Trainer
Eliane Meyer BACP accredited Psychotherapist, Trainer and Supervisor

We are offering a 3 hour workshop for professionals exploring the model of adult attachment including an introduction to the theory and an opportunity for experiential groupwork. (Numbers limited to 12 maximum)
 
The model seeks to address the fact that we work in jobs that require us to respond to the needs of others, too often we don’t create the conditions to support our own personal and psychological development.
 
Experiences of careseeking and caregiving have their roots in infancy and shape our expectations and responses to careseeking and caregiving in adult life.
 
As professionals offering a service in the field of mental health and social care we will be aware of the many different ways that people express their careseeking needs, and how difficult it is sometimes to interpret these accurately and respond. People who have had contradictory experiences of caregiving will often tend to miscue professional caregivers so that any attempt at caregiving is frustrated and can end up as a frustrating experience for both parties.
 
The dynamics of attachment consist of several goal-corrected systems.  These are careseeking, caregiving, sexuality, exploratory interest sharing with peers, the personal system for self-defence, the internal supportive or unsupportive environments and the personally created external supportive environment (home/lifestyle).  The theory suggests that that these systems work together as a single process to contribute to and maintain maximum wellbeing.
