Stipulations for Use of Circle of Security Materials

We are pleased you have found your way to this introduction to our work. We want this material to be shared and utilized with parents and professionals around the globe. Much of what you find here is available for free downloading and immediate use. We only ask that you follow the parameters regarding the sharing of this material described on the download page. Thank you for your interest in attachment theory, affective neuroscience, and this particular approach to both.

For specific requests related to publishing Circle of Security materials, approval is given only to non-profit organizations and academic/professional publications upon review byt the Circle of Security. Requests take approximately 4 weeks to review. We ask that you provide us with your organization’s non-profit status, a copy of the article to be published and a description of the targeted audience.

The Circle of Security gives permission to use the downloadable handouts from our web site for teaching to parents and mental health professionals with the following stipulations:

  • The name Circle of Security is trademarked and cannot be used in any promotional material. This no use clause includes program announcements, grant applications, treatment descriptions, program descriptions, business cards, stationary, etc. without the written permission from the COS originators.
  • When using COS handouts no claim is made that the recipient of the handout is participating in a Circle of Security program or in Circle of Security treatment.  COS programs and treatment require formal training and supervision. 
  • No claim is made by the giver of the handout regarding qualification or certification to provide Circle of Security intervention.
  • COS materials cannot be amended or altered in any way without the express written permission by the originators of COS.
  • Programs that use COS handouts cannot use terms like “Circle of Security informed” or “Circle of Security influenced” to describe the program.
  • Programs or individuals who use COS handouts can not claim their work is evidence-based because COS handouts are being used.
  • Because use of COS material without appropriate training and supervision may adversely impact the outcome of research data, the name Circle of Security cannot be used in any form within research projects without written permission of the COS originators
Please select the "I agree" button if you agree with the above policy. You will be taken to our download page. Thank you.
