In order to elucidate the profundity of The Circle of Security Intervention (COSI) by Bert Powell, Glen Cooper, and Kent Hoffman, I would like to paraphrase a quote that Albert Einstein wrote to Niehls Bohr regarding quantum mechanics: The opposite of a simple truth is falsity. The opposite of a profound truth is another profound truth. The reason for employing this hermeneutic in reviewing COSI is because this work's simplicity (a profound truth) is its brilliance (another profound truth). In COSI, Powell et al. make the complexities of care-giver and child attachment highly accessible. Their protocol for helping caregivers to form secure attachment bonds with their children offers a very practical approach grounded in decades of research on attachment theory. COSI represents a proven and effective program that will not doubt empower practitioners working to facilitate secure attachment between care-givers and their children. Moreover, Powell et al. utilize a precision in nomenclature that de-pathologizes insecure attachment in such a way that will provide the aforementioned practitioners with a practical language to aid care-givers in facing and overcoming their own relational dynamics that cause their children to form maladapted relational patterns that will follow them throughout their lives. In this context, COSI is the perfect text for undergraduate and graduate classes that explore attachment theory. Furthermore, social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, and social service agencies would do well to engage this text and search for ways to implement COSI as a part of their best practices.
In light of the above, the golden nugget hidden within this river of wisdom are what Powell et al. refer to as the "core sensitivities.
