Clinical Applications of Attachment Theory: Does Culture Matter?

Presentation Type

Poster Presentation

Abstract

Counseling psychologists have begun to develop an understanding of the role clients’ attachment orientations play in clinical work. However, researchers have not yet addressed how culture (e.g., collectivistic, individualistic) may impact these relationships in therapy clients. This poster will summarize existing literature and offer ideas for future research.
