M-MAT Multi-Modal Attachment Therapy: An Integrated Whole-Brain Approach to Attachment Injuries in Children and Families
If you work with children and families, this may be what you have been looking for!
This book provides a new, easy-to-follow roadmap for understanding and working with children with some of the most challenging and treatment-resistant behaviors, and their families.
In clear, concise language, Young lays forth for the reader an easy to follow roadmap for understanding and implementing M-MAT with children and their caregivers. M-MAT is a dyadic, family therapy model, but Young additionally outlines how to work with those children who do not have a permanent, committed caregiver.
M-MAT Multi-Modal Attachment Therapy provides a brief overview of attachment theory, but focuses primarily on the how-to of implementing this therapy model. Many interventions and examples are included throughout the book. It is intended as a practical manual for therapists and social workers, but also holds some use for other professionals in understanding approaches to working with children with attachment injuries.
M-MAT is applied attahcment theory. It is designed for children with mild to severe attachment injuries, including those with developmental trauma and/or diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder (RAD). It is also useful for children who have experienced trauma. Many children, and particularly adopted and foster children may benefit greatly from this model, as placements are often lost due to untreated or under-treated attachment injuries

Die Multimodale Bindungstherapie (Multi-Modal Attachment Therapy, M-MAT) ist ein praxisorientiertes Therapiemodell zur Behandlung von Kindern mit besonders herausforderndem Verhalten. Es kombiniert eine Vielfalt therapeutischer Methoden in einem System, um Kinder mit ausgeprägten Bindungsverletzungen zu behandeln. Die Multimodale Bindungstherapie will das Kind auf Basis der Narrativen Therapie befähigen, ein neues, adaptives und emotional heilsames Eigennarrativ zu erschaffen. Therapeut:innen erhalten eine umfassende Grundstruktur für die Praxis, die auch als Gerüst für die Integration und den kreativen Umgang mit einer Vielzahl anderer Techniken und Methoden verwendet werden kann. Der Sicherheit aufbauende Rahmen von M-MAT besteht aus bindungsbasiertem Spiel und spezifischen Bindungsfragen, die einen Gesprächsteil umfassen. Sie kann sowohl dyadisch durchgeführt werden, etwa mit Adoptiveltern, oder auch in Einzeltherapie, z.B. mit Kindern in Jugendhilfeeinrichtungen.
Picture Books
These picture books support attachment and reflect the enduring parent/child bond. They can be used at home by parents and/or in-session by therapists with child and parent. Don't worry if they seem to young for the child as attachment-injured children tend to operate at a younger emotional age. I find they usually love having these stories read to them. The advantage of picture books is they are short, to the point, and engaging. Don't worry about repeat reading, as repetition is good! In M-MAT sessions, reading would fall in the middle, 'talk' part of the session.
These wonderful picture books highlight the enduring parent/child bond (Click on Title to go to Amazon book page):
