This article discusses three cases of American Indian families who presented for therapy at an urban mental health center. The framework of adult attachment is used to understand the cross-generational continuity of mental health concerns in these families, and American Indian families more generally, who present with mental health problems. The demographics of American Indian family life are presented, along with a background review of the adult attachment literature
