[Heiki Eesmaa · Rating 2 out of 5]

The most important thing about this book is that it will not fill out your knowledge of attachment for psychotherapeutical purposes. What the author has developed depends on regulation of the environment when a therapeutic alliance may not be developed due to a lack of cognitive/affective development. So people employed in institutions may find it very useful (Reportedly some do).

Neutral and concise writing. The style is uneven -- occasionally it is hard to grasp if the author is joking in the examples (which are of course suitably horrible).
