A Safe Place for Caleb is a comprehensive and richly illustrated resource for individuals of all ages who are dealing with attachment problems. Parents, professionals, and lay people will find this book helpful in understanding and addressing attachment disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. The first half of the book is an interactive story that follows the experiences of Caleb, a young boy who relates his difficulties and frustrations in forming and sustaining healthy relationships. He learns strategies for coping with attachment issues during his journey to the Safe Tree House, where he is introduced to the four "attachment healing keys". These act as therapeutic tools to unlock difficulties with attachment, and are presented using text and illustrations that are easily accessible for readers of all ages, even for young children. The second half of the book presents a summary of current scientific thought on attachment styles and disorders, and provides a wide array of assessment tools, photocopiable material and healing techniques to address attachment difficulties. Lists of helpful organizations and relevant reading materials are also presented. Based on established psychological principles, the book is a unique and imaginative guide for professionals, parents, caregivers, and people of all ages who are dealing with attachment issues.

From the Author

"A safe Place for Caleb" grew out of our college courses dealing with attachment. After years of listening to children and parents struggling with attachment problems, empathizing with adolescents and young adults grappling with attachment issues, and working with adults still haunted by attachment breaches from the past, we wrote this book to help people of all ages heal from the legacy of broken and dysfunctional relationships. As with "Sensory Smarts," "Allergy Busters," and "Amy Elizabeth Goes to Play Therapy," our goal is to emphasize practical advice and easily implemented solutions. (See also "The Art of Virtue.")
