Circle of Security^® Reviews

"Circle of Security provides therapists with a near complete model for parent/child psychotherapy. COS is theoretically grounded, evidence-based, and uniquely understandable and appealing to parents.  It is rare to find such a sophisticated clinical model with such wide applicability.  I would urge all parent education programs to add the Circle DVD to their tool kit."

“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."
