Handbook of Attachment, Second Edition

Bringing research, clinicians, and students up to date on one of the leading theoretical perspectives in contemporary psychology, this Second Edition of the Handbook of Attachment provides a landmark review and synthesis of the current state of knowledge about attachment and loss in children and adults.

With contributions from preeminent authorities in the field, this work provides a definitive overview of Bowlby and Ainsworth's initial formulation and the ways in which it has been updated.

Biological perspectives on attachment are presented, and a variety of measurement and assessment issues are reviewed.

Sections on clinical applications examine such topics as psychopathology in children and adults, attachment-informed psychotherapeutic approaches, and the relationship between attachment theory and psychoanalysis.
