Thatīs an interesting point, do you mean you canīt get the diagnosis "attachment disorder" as an adult? How does a T define problems with attachment and how do they find out an adult client has attachment issues?
Have you yourself experience of therapy helping you to handle attachment issues in a better way?
It seems that if a T also has attachment issues he or she easily gets triggered by a client having similar issues and then he or she becomes less suitable for treating them?

As an adult you'll have developed an attachment style and in some cases an unresolved attachment disorder may morph into a personality disorder. Many Ts can treat these issues but I doubt any can really fix them. What they can do is help you identify the possible root causes and then work on what you can do now to improve your relationships and quality of life. That's been my take on it anyway.
