From foremost authorities, this comprehensive work is widely recognized as the standard reference on attachment. Coverage includes the origins and development of attachment theory; biological and evolutionary perspectives; the role of attachment processes in personality, relationships, and mental health; and clinical applications with children, adults, couples, and families. Broad in scope, the volume is designed to help clinicians, students, and researchers become fully informed about one of the most important areas of research in contemporary psychology. --- from the publisher Critical Acclaim: "The growth of attachment theory and research continues apace. This book is more than just a great help for scholarship and teaching—it has become indispensable. Show me a similar volume in any other field that so artfully integrates work on behavior, cognition, and emotion across such a wide range of ages and contexts! This is exactly what John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth hoped to set in train."
—Everett Waters, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University
"This handbook documents the vibrancy and extraordinary breadth of attachment theory. No other theory has such an extensive conceptual span—from biology and lifespan development to emotion, relationships, psychopathology, and interventions. This volume is a 'must read' for graduate students and scholars who want to keep up with attachment theory's explosive run through the human sciences."
—Harry Reis, PhD, Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology, University of Rochester
"Destined to become a classic reference work in the field. This book belongs in the library of professionals and graduate students in developmental and clinical psychology, pediatrics, and psychiatry."
—Dante Cicchetti, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair and Professor, Institute of Child Development and Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota
"From its first appearance, the Handbook defied superlatives and instantly established itself as the attachment 'bible,' which no self-respecting child development researcher, couple counselor, or progressive psychotherapist could afford to be without. Stellar contributors combine cutting-edge research findings and penetrating clinical observation. The ever-expanding field of attachment is here comprehensively charted and monitored with awe-inspiring elegance and concision."—Jeremy Holmes, MD, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychological Therapies, University of Exeter, UK "Has tremendous relevance for clinicians who are interested in the biological, cognitive, and emotional underpinnings of interpersonal relationships, psychopathology, the process of therapy with different clients, and therapeutic change....[and] who wish to understand theory and empirical research relevant to client conceptualization and treatment."
