About the Circle of Security

Decades of university-based research have confirmed that secure children exhibit increased empathy, greater self esteem, better relationships with parents and peers, enhanced school readiness, and an increased capacity to handle emotions more effectively when compared with children who are not secure.

Glen Cooper, Kent Hoffman, and Bert Powell have been working together since 1983, designing and implementing treatment protocols for individuals, couples, and families. Our work is based upon an interface of attachment theory, object relations theory, and family systems theory. Thank you for choosing to look further into our work on the Circle of Security.
