Addiction, a pervasive mental health issue with profound implications for relationships, has often been approached through short-term, symptom-focused treatments. However, high rates of relapse and the emergence of cross-addictions indicate a need for a more comprehensive understanding and treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe study draws on the experiences of ISTDP couples therapists who view addiction as a defense rooted in insecure attachment bonds. While the popular medical model tends to prioritize individual treatment and short-term symptom management, this research investigates the potential of fostering secure attachments in couples therapy to address the root causes of addiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ali Shah Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45160496824471,"sku":"9787349167076","price":1925.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9787349167076.webp?v=1768569372","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/love-addiction-in-couples-therapy-9787349167076","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
