Jim Harlow on Using the Adult Attachment Interview, Part One

Welcome to Attachment Theory in Action! Our podcast is dedicated to therapists, social workers, counselors and psychologists who are working with clients from an attachment-based perspective. Interviews are conducted with individuals who are doing clinical work as well as leading attachment theory researchers. Today, Karen will introduce us to Jim Harlow, who will explore the use of the Adult Attachment Interview.  Jim is the adoptive father of 5.  He and his wife adopted each of their kids individually about 30-35 years ago here in north Texas through the foster care system.  The children came at different ages (3 months to 15 years old) and from diverse backgrounds.  They have all now made it to adulthood, educating Jim in the process.   Other education includes an MA in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University and four years working with the TCU Institute of Child Development.
