Trauma-Attachment Tangle

Trauma-Attachment Tangle explores the complex interplay between trauma and attachment in children whose early experiences—such as adoption, prolonged hospitalization, or the loss of a parent—have disrupted their sense of safety and connection. Through vivid, compassionate clinical narratives, Dr. Lovett illustrates how unresolved trauma can manifest as confusing, intense, or extreme behaviors. The book helps clinicians and caregivers understand the hidden meaning behind these symptoms and guides them toward interventions that foster healing, emotional regulation, and secure attachment.
