It's an experimental and poorly controlled process and studying it does not change this. If one person responded well to a particular course of therapy, it says nothing about what would happen with another therapist-client dyad.

I've read some of the source material. I find it helpful in terms of explaining basic attachment impulses. The parts about therapy as a remedy for such problems are usually creepy and delusional. It's the scripture for the religion of therapy rather than something grounded in reality.
You're calling people's attempts to get help, people's lives, case studies, and then you say that there's something perverse about subjecting the complexity of a human relationship to formal study. Huh.

How do you propose attachment issues should be addressed? How does one get out of, say, a pattern of abusive relationships? And what is your agenda, exactly?
Thanks for this!
