The Building & Enhancing Bonding & Attachment (BEBA) Clinic Retrospective Study

In 2020, a retrospective study was conducted, examining 27 years of family sessions offered at the BEBA Family Clinic in California. Raymond Castellino, DC, and Tara Blasco, PhD, co-directors of the Building and Enhancing Bonding and Attachment (BEBA) program, assembled a team of researchers for the study. Fifty-four previous BEBA Clinic participants completed a quantitative survey and 12 participated in qualitative interviews. The data gathered are shared in this report, providing the BEBA organization with feedback corroborating the program’s evolving principles and practices. The study and organization presents a model of child-centered family care to other professionals who are developing similar programs.
