Abstract

Attachment‐Based Family Therapy (ABFT) was introduced in Sweden in 2009, and has since spread widely, mainly within child and adolescent psychiatry, but also to some social family services. ABFT is now mentioned in clinical guidelines for the treatment of depression and suicidality in Sweden. Many therapists report successes with the model after relatively short training. Training and research efforts are presented. Difficulties in implementation of the method are examined as therapist, process, and context issues. A number of small clinical research studies have been published and are presented.
