About the Author
Mary Main (deceased) was a professor of psychology emerita, University of California, Berkeley. She was the co-originator of the Adult Attachment Interview (protocol and scoring and classification system). She also collaborated in the development of many other attachment-related methods, including infant disorganized attachment and frightening/frightened behavior. Mary Main’s original manuscript has been edited by Robbie Duschinsky, Erik Hesse, Kate White, and Pehr Granqvist.

Erik Hesse is an adjunct associate professor (retired) at the University of California, Berkeley. He collaborated in the discovery and development of methods related to "cannot classify" in the Strange Situation, and frightened/frightening parental behavior.
Kate White is a retired attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist, supervisor, and member of The Bowlby Centre, London. She is the editor emerita of the journal Attachment: New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis.
