Product Description

Product Description
John Bowlby (1907-1990) has been described as "one of the three or four most important psychiatrists of the 20th century". In this book, Jeremy Holmes provides a focused and coherent account of Bowlby's life and work, based on his writings and those of the "post-Bowlbians", as well as interviews with members of his family and with psychoanalysts who knew him. Bowlby's "attachment theory" is one of the major theoretical developments in psychoanalysis this half-century. Combining the rigorous scientific empiricism of ethology with the subjective insights of psychoanalysis, it has had an enormous impact in the fields of child development, social work, psychology, psychotherapy and psychiatry. Jeremy Holmes examines the origins of Bowlby's ideas, and presents the main features of "attachment theory" and their relevance to contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy. He looks at the processes of attachment, and of loss, and reviews the recent experimental evidence linking secure attachment in infancy with the development of "autobiographical competence".

5.0 out of 5 stars very relevant to the study of developement of personality, 20 Jan 2001
By A Customer
For any reader with a keen interest in how the adult personality is influenced by the child's relationship with Mother or equivilant, this book is a must.Useful for parents who can evaluate how it may relate to their own views on parenting styles.It is useful for personal discovery and those interested in why people behave as they do within adult relationships .

5.0 out of 5 stars Book review, 30 Jan 2009
This is an excellent book for an overview of Bowlby and his theories. This book is very readable and therefore much more accessible than many other more academic books. As a counselling student I would definitely recommend it to other students.
