Here, we review the evidence for Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), a guideline-listed treatment targeting intrafamilial ruptures and building protective caregiver-child relationships. Method: PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and Scopus were searched for prospective trials on ABFT in youth published up until November 6th, 2023, and including measures of suicidality.
