“…Attachment strategies are increasingly being shown to have central importance in assessment because they have far-reaching impacts on behavioural, emotional, and cognitive function. Attachment theory is increasingly cited in support of psychologically informed interventions in criminal justice (Adshead, 2002;Allam and Baim, 2017;Pfäfflin and Adshead, 2004;Renn, 2004;Rich, 2006aRich, , 2006bSmallbone, 2006;Ward et al, 1996). In this article, I offer an introduction to Crittenden's Dynamic-Maturational Model (DMM) of Attachment and Adaptation and explain why this model is especially relevant to criminal justice interventions.…”

This article describes how contemporary attachment theory can support accurate assessment and effective intervention in criminal justice contexts. I offer an introduction to Crittenden’s Dynamic-Maturational Model (DMM) of Attachment and Adaptation and explain why this well-evidenced model is especially relevant to criminal justice interventions. The DMM is a biopsychosocial model, informed by neurodevelopmental research, and as such it offers a developmental understanding of the wide range of adaptations used by people who are endangered or endangering to others. It is a strengths-based, non-labelling and non-pathologising model which conceptualises adaptations to danger as self-protective strategies that promote survival in their original context, but which may later lead to problematic, dangerous, or self-defeating behaviour.
