Siegel is one of the moving forces in that field. The only reason I  
know is because we adopted a child who, unbeknownst to us, had severe  
Reactive Attachment Disorder. The leading clinical person in the  
field, Daniel Hughes, was able to develop strategies based on Siegel's  
insights and work. _The Mindful Brain_ does talk about attachment and  
more specifically "secure attachment" but not in a whole lot of detail.
