There has been a growing recognition and research evidence of the impact of attachments on human development. As the Arts play such a pivotal part in this process, it is timely to focus on this issue and to explore how this affects Arts Therapies. Presentations will address what can be learnt from the mentalization model and the growing involvement of the Arts Therapies in the Social Inclusion agenda.
