Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of these two pilot studies was to create a program that addresses parents’ attachment styles in combination with mindfulness practice to improve family functioning for families of children with problem behavior. The Attachment-Based Mindfulness program (ABM) was piloted with two small independent samples. In Study 1 (N = 13), results from ABM were compared to a psychoeducation program, and in Study 2 (N = 11), pre-post analyses were conducted. Findings across the studies suggest that attending to parents’ attachment styles in combination with mindfulness practice may be a potential avenue for practitioners to improve family relationships.

Clinical case examples are included.
