Article in the Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Heilpädagogik SZH:
The article was written together with Jennifer Schumacher and Katharina Roten, the two authors of a Master’s thesis using the BondingBoard, and their supervisor at the PH Valais at the time, David Hischier. It presents the BondingBoard and also explains how attachment-oriented thinking and action can be integrated into the classroom through small changes and interventions. To this end, the specially developed attachment compass is presented, supplemented by two case studies from the intervention study.

Article in “Praxis Schulpsychologie” No.34:
The journal “Praxis Schulpsychologie” is the flagship of the School Psychology Section of the Professional Association of German Psychologists BDP, and is published by Deutscher Psychologen Verlag dpv. The Spring 2023 issue is dedicated to the topic of mentalizing, so a report on the bonding board fitted perfectly into the section‘From Research and Practice’ .
I am delighted with this publication, which uses some examples of questions to show how easy it is to use the bonding board to trigger thinking and talking about social relationships, making it easier for people of all ages to empathize with a counterpart and at the same time become clear about their own emotional involvement. This is often the first step towards understanding and change.
