By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! 
I greatly appreciated Dr. Sroufe's comprehensive coverage. His concentration on developmental attachment was extremely important in changing my perception of attachment theory. Alan's comment that early attachment experiences are not accessible to early memory inspires me, as one who works with the qualitative evidence of dream reports, to inquire whether you have considered dreams about family of origin as sources of early memory.
