Abstract
Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is an evidence-based model designed to treat depressed and suicidal adolescents. ABFT works with adolescent psychopathology in the context of family relationships by addressing ruptures in the parent–child relationship and restoring parents’ caregiving capacities and adolescents trust in attachment security. This paper provides a rational for family-based treatments for this disorder, an overview of clinical model and a review of some of the empirically work supporting the treatment efficacy and effectiveness.
