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.
"Destined to become a classic reference work in the field. All chapters are completely updated, and important new topics have been added that make this an even more compelling volume than its predecessor. This book belongs in the library of professionals and graduate students in developmental and clinical psychology, pediatrics, and psychiatry."- Dante Cicchetti, McKnight Presidential Chair and Professor, Institute of Child Development and Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota, USA
"I have used this volume successfully in a doctoral seminar in counseling. My students found it to be an excellent resource, one that they will keep on their bookshelves for years." - Richard Lanthier, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, The George Washington University, USA
"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. This new edition surpasses even its predecessor, with stellar contributors combining 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, Professor of Psychological Therapies, University of Exeter, UK
"The growth of attachment theory and research continues apace. The first edition of the Handbook of Attachment was a great help for scholarship and teaching. With this second edition, 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, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University, USA
"This revised, thoroughly up-to-date volume documents the vibrancy and extraordinary breadth of attachment theory. No other theory has such an extensive conceptual spanfrom 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, Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology, University of Rochester, USA
