This paper is an attempt to look at the impact of early traumatic attachment and disorganized attachment system in the evolution and maintenance of phobic response. It explores the way in which the therapeutic attachment relationship plays a core role in facilitating development that was obstructed in infancy, childhood and adolescence involving the integration of developmental issues and the undoing of the need for phobic response. The tenacity of the need for a good enough primary attachment figure and the impact of the search for one on development are starkly revealed in the therapeutic work.
