Great "Behind the Scenes" Look, 2 Mar 2006
By Albuquerque Rick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fifty Years of Attachment Theory: Recollections of Donald Winnicott and John Bowlby (Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture) (Paperback)
I've had the pleasure of hearing Sir Richard Bowlby speak on three separate occasions. By his own admission, Sir Richard is not a researcher nor is he a clinician. If you are looking for information on current attachment theory trends in either of these two areas, then this book will disappoint. However, if you are looking for a "behind the scenes" look at attachment theory through the eyes of the "son of attachment" (John Bowlby being the father), then this is a great little volume. Sir Richard has a perspective that is hard to find anywhere else. Sir Richard is eminently qualified to speak on such topics as, "After fifty years, why hasn't attachment theory caught on?" Sir Richard was there as his father brought together the various pieces of his theory over a period of decades. Sir Richard was there through it all--John's successes and his failures, his triumphs and his misgivings. Sir Richard is carying on his father's legacy as attachment theory's most dedicated public intellectual. If you want a a great "behind the scenes" book, this is a good one. Attachment theory could use a dozen more just like Sir Richard. I'm sure his father is very proud.

50 yrs of Attachment Book, 9 Sep 2005
By Adams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fifty Years of Attachment Theory: Recollections of Donald Winnicott and John Bowlby (Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture) (Paperback)
I was VERY DISAPPOINTED in this book! I found it to be a waste of time and money! At a minimum, I thought the book would provide some overviews of the attachment and application in the professional community, but I was hoping it would provide some solid research development to assist me with my own professional research. Much of it was just personal stories. I would NOT recommend this book for anyone- either those trying to get an overview of attachment theory or for professionals seeking historical research information about it.
