This English translation of the Spanish bestseller Apego y psicopatología is an interdisciplinary study on how the early years of our life can influence the way we view ourselves and others.

The book is split into two parts, the first exploring the theoretical foundations of the PARCUVE model created by the author, which describes the importance of the early years of our lives in the origin of many psychological pathologies. The second addresses the treatment of emotions, feeling, and behaviors associated with psychological disorders from a body-mind-brain integrative approach, as well as through different therapeutic approaches that have proven their efficacy in the past. It provides readers with tools to intervene with patients from different angles, and thus attack psychological pathologies at the root, beyond the symptoms.

Enriched with real life examples to assist in readers' understanding of the neurobiological and emotional processes, Attachment and Psychopathology is an ideal resource for psychologists and psychology students, psychiatrists and psychiatry students, and social workers.
