"This is an incredibly rich book. I found it fascinating how the different researchers approached the question of the attachment relationship and mental health development. It is impressive that they have been able to maintain contact with their subjects and follow them over time, from childhood to adulthood and to the next generation....If one is curious about attachment and its effect over time, I would certainly recommend a read of this book."--"Journal of Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry"

"This volume will be welcome and informative for students of attachment theory and behavior."--"Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic" "This collection of international studies provides a comprehensive overview of the pioneers in attachment theory following the Bowlby-Ainsworth tradition. This book offers a unique window into the personal and professional lives of these noted scholars, who have dedicated their life's work to the study of attachment relationships. Their deep conviction in the importance of attachment theory and dedication to the science of this tradition serve as an inspirational model for the researcher clinician. This book is recommended for therapists, researchers, and teachers in the field."--"The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease" "A well written, thorough, and stimulating work. The authors/editors surpassed their goals of making a major contribution to the literature and to the field....The exercise of reading the text, digesting it, and reporting on it has lead me to think in new and more hopeful ways about attachment."--"Child and Family Journal""" "Excellent....This new text on attachment is a delight. This is no ordinary review of longitudinalstudies on attachment....The way the 11 chapters, each by a leading authority on an aspect of attachment theory, are laid out is probably the secret to the ease with which the book is read....As a highly readable, highly informative, and reasonably priced text, I strongly recommend it to researchers and clinicians but perhaps most particularly to those whose clinical practices involve children and families."--"Canadian Journal of Psychiatry" "Brings the reader up to date with recent developments...as well as providing thoughts for the way forward into the future. It benefits greatly from contributions by people whose names are instantly recognisable for their seminal work within the area of attachment theory and it is interesting to learn about their diverse backgrounds and what motivated their interest in the subject....The book is accessible and is written in an approachable manner that will appeal to students, researchers and others at various stages in their careers....I found this book interesting and informative about the relationship between early attachment processes and outcomes in later life."--"British Journal of Psychiatry"
