Until I read this forum I didn't realize attachment theory had so many devotees and practitioners. It would never be my cup of tea. To each her own.
I have never seen a T who "encouraged" attachment as part of therapy either, but I haven't ever found a healthy attachment to be anything BUT self-empowering. Sometimes attachment seems to be viewed as such a negative thing on this forum, which is not something I have personally experienced.
