摘要：AbstractAttachment plays a vital role in our lives from birth to death. Some of our most important adult relations can be conceived of as attachments. For at least a minority of the population these important bonds include that with a psychotherapist. There is a growing body of literature dealing with client-psychotherapist relation as attachment, but the adequate instrument to measure this phenomenon is still missing. In this paper the possible solutions are discussed from both traditions of adult attachment. Existing instruments are presented in a critical manner, and the possible ways to develop an easy-to-use, cost-effective and psychometrically sound instrument is highlighted.
