This page gives you an opportunity to discover more about the Circle of Security™ approach. The choices noted at the top of this page allow you to learn about the originators, recent publications, current projects, awards, and the treatment assumptions that underlie a variety of Circle of Security™ protocols. It is our sincere hope that as you come to know more about the COS approach, it will help clarify additional alternatives that will help you in supporting secure attachment between children and their caregivers. It is our plan to be publishing a book on the Circle of Security™ in the later part of 2006.
