Attachment theory presupposes that our relationships to others, to our world and to ourselves are moulded by our earliest primary relationships. Given its psychodynamic focus on the treatment of early childhood wounding, AIT has always implicitly specialised in attachment work. In this seminar, we focus on the earliest events and patterns of relationship and how they become a template for later social behaviour, belief systems, emotional response, relationship, dysfunction, and even neurobiology.
