Handbook of Attachment, Second Edition: Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications
8 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I struggled with buying this book versus using the funds for a conference. I'm so glad I chose the book purchase. I have referred to it repeatedly when planning class lectures, while searching for the latest research for training curricula, or for enriching my knowledge of a theory or concept. It's large, unwieldy, expensive, and worth all the trouble!

completely comprehensive book
9 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having read dozens and dozens or books related to attachment, I can say that I wish I had found this first. This is a comprehensive summary of nearly all the major applications and research related to attachment. It exposes the reader to numerous authors and researchers in the field, and each article has its own reference list, so finding the additional sources is painless. There is a little built in redundancy on certain aspects of the history of attachment theory, which is to be expected, but some of the research is just marvelous. I found myself ordering other books by some of the contributors, because these articles are so interesting. For any dissertation or clinical reports, this is a go-to source for attachment. The index is also incredible, and whoever compiled it should be proud.

Outstanding resource for my dissertation writing process!
26 Jun 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the history and progress of attachment theory. The editors are experts in the field and have organized decades worth of literature in a comprehensible manner. The chapter authors were careful to include the pros and cons of certain approaches in addition to their thoughtful summaries. All in all, a great resource book!
