The bonding board is a resource for diagnostics, counseling and therapy in connection with attachment, behavior and relationship issues.

Different behavioral processes and relationship situations can be represented and analyzed with a focus on the dimensions of emotionality and closeness, which are central in the context of relationships. The game board and the stylized figures allow involved persons to represent their own behaviors in a mixture of identification and distance with structuring help.

With the parallel representation of relational partners, it is also implicitly clear that behaviors do not depend only on one person, but are a result of action and reaction. This in turn promotes the attitude that change can be initiated bilaterally or multilaterally .

The board is suitable as an exploration tool, as a basis for structured diagnostic interviews, for counseling, further education and coaching. It was developed in the context of developmental psychology and pedagogy. However, since the basic features of human attachment behavior continue into adulthood, it is likely to be applicable not only there, but also when dealing with adult attachment issues or adult relationships, whether between parents and teachers, in couple relationships, friendship relationships, or in the context of leadership issues.
