Regarding Ann Hale's question about the AAI

[clark baim]

In response to Ann Hale's question about the Adult Attachment Interview: Ann, I have trained in the use of the Adult Attachment Interview, and see it as very useful in gaining insight into treatment issues as well as helping to identify troubling relationships and even scenes to go to in psychodrama. The underlying theory is also useful in helping to identify attachment insecurity and what might signal progress / 'reorganisation' for clients. Myself and Susie Taylor co-run the Birmingham Institute of Psychodrama in the UK, and we use attachment theory as an underpinning theory in our training, as a useful complement to Morenean concepts and role theory. I plan to go a lot further in my work joining together attachment theory, the AAI, and psychodrama. It would be great to exchange ideas with you. I should also mention that Chip Chimera and Paul Holmes here in the UK have also studied in the same model of attachment as I have - the Dynamic Maturational Model of attachment across the lifespan (cf: Dr. P M Crittenden, a former student of Mary Ainsworth's. She has her own website, highly recommended: www.patcrittenden.com). Thanks for opening up this as a question. Best regards, Clark Baim, Senior Trainer in the UK.
