Attachment Theory

From foremost authorities, this comprehensive work is more than just the standard reference on attachment - it has 'become indispensable' in the field. Coverage includes the origins and development of attachment theory; biological and evolutionary perspectives; and, the role of attachment processes in personality, relationships, and mental health across the lifespan. The new second edition has been substantially revised and expanded to incorporate significant recent advances in theory, research, and clinical applications. "Predictions that the first edition of this handbook would become a classic reference in the field have been fulfilled, and the same can certainly be said for this second edition. Even those who own the first edition will want to acquire this one ... Highly recommended. All readers, all levels." -- Choice Reviews
