Feb. 4–5—Gladstone Convention Center. Our earliest connections with birth parents set the stage for our style of attachment in later life. This seminar uncovers the styles of attachment that Dr. John Bowlby, known as the "father of attachment theory," identified and the life circumstances that determine which style we will choose.
