ABSTRACT

Editors’ note . On a visit to the United States in 2001 to attend a seminar on attachment, Marci Green met up with a remarkable woman. In the course of their few days they shared their views on attachment, they spoke about this book, and the issues that it should cover. Out of that discussion came her extraordinary offer to write this personal account of her experiences of failed attachment and the processes by which she came to establish a secure base within herself with the help of an attachment therapist. We were honoured that she was willing to share this autobiographical narrative and believe it is a fitting chapter with which to bring this book to a close. We are truly grateful for this contribution.
