Circle of Security™ Reviews
“The
clinically effective Circle of Security™ model is solidly based
on the most recent advances in developmental neuroscience and
attachment theory.”

"The
Circle of Security™ is circling the globe as an intervention to
help parents raise their children with love, warmth, and emotional
intelligence. The four researcher/clinicians who invented this
important new and effective program are themselves filled with these
positive traits and a huge dose of common sense and devotion to the
well-being of others. These innovators have created a readily
accessible and engaging approach to helping parents, young and old, to
connect with their infants and toddlers in ways that break the old,
destructive patterns of parenting that so often have been learned by
difficult childhood experiences in the past. Cited from England to
India, the Circle of Security™ offers new hope for making the
hard earned wisdom of attachment research available to clinicians
helping parents heal old wounds and building new options for the next
generation."
