Attachment-Based Family Therapy Webinar

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is the only manualized, empirically informed family therapy model specifically designed to target family and individual processes associated with adolescent suicide and depression. ABFT emerges from interpersonal theories that suggest adolescent depression and suicide can be precipitated, exacerbated or buffered against by the quality of interpersonal relationships in families. It is a trust-based, emotion-focused psychotherapy model that aims to repair interpersonal ruptures and rebuild an emotionally protective, secure-based parent-child relationship. ABFT is now included in SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) and is on the NREPP Web site.
This video is a brief overview of the theoretical and clinical model. For more information contact Suzanne Levy ([e-mail]).

Thank you for posting this. I am pre-grad MFT student and currently have adolescents who are struggling with attachment issues. I have signed up for the workshop at Drexel to learn more about utilizing and implementing this model.

This was an outstanding presentation of a powerful therapeutic approach for families. I'm so impressed with how succinct the presentation was, but also the actual model for therapy could be the template for how others ought to do it as well.

How can we receive this type of family therapy? We have two children suffering from moderate -to-severe depression, and despite what we thought was intentional, loving parenting, our marriage and family are in crisis.

Thank you for this! I realize this is 7 years old but where would I start to find a facility that practices this? What is it called when offered to patients?

[@jaz0188]

Did you do it? If so how was it? I am considering it
