Synopsis

Bowlby's seminal contribution to the way we understand attachment concludes with an examination of loss. He offers not only a new developmental model but also rare insight into the dynamics of mourning, the problems of depression, and the processes of accommodation and healing. An appreciation by Daniel Stern, whose research on the mother/infant bond affirms and expands on Bowlby's work, fittingly graces this new edition.

About this title

Review:

"It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of Dr Bowlby's work... In practical terms, his ideas have modified and continue to influence the rearing of children and the treatment of those who are disturbed. In theoretical terms, his contributions have given psychoanalysis a shot in the arm and a biological perspective which was sadly lacking." (Sunday Times)

"The publication of Attachment and Loss will prove a turning point in the history of psychoanalysis and in psychology generally." (Times Literary Supplement)

"There can be no question that Bowlby is making a major contribution to the understanding of deviant emotional development in childhood and after." (Child Psychology and Psychiatry)
