• Because the concept of secure-functioning is principle based and not personality based, the success of secure-functioning relationships does not depend upon attachment orientation.

• The presentation will endeavor to help the clinician utilize psychobiological strategies to help clarify partner attachment strategies, true desires, and unspoken agendas in couple therapy.

• Educational Objectives: List at least five characteristics of a secure-functioning relationship.

• Apply at least three interventions for moving couples toward secure functioning.
