## Resource

Attachment is interwoven throughout Phyllis Booth’s professional and personal life. Now Clinical Director Emerita of The Theraplay Institute in Evanston, Illinois, Phyllis was instrumental-—more than 50 years ago—-in developing a therapeutic approach that strengthens relationships between parents and children through attachment-based play. She credits her parents and the Mormon Church for instilling high expectations that “fit well for advancing a new field.” Phyllis says, “my very good and productive life has been beautifully and tenderly supported”—by her late husband, colleagues, family, and friends. As she approaches her 100th birthday in March 2026, Phyllis has already begun celebrating, starting with a family gathering at her cabin in Utah. “I continue to educate parents and practitioners about building better relationships through attachment-based play.” - Phylllis Booth Connect with Phyllis: Email: phyllisbooth@yahoo.com Website: Phyllis Booth – Theraplay Selected Publication: Booth, P., & Jernberg, A.
