Review
"All child psychiatrists will see psychopathology along the spectrum of attachment problems. Attachment disorganization in particular brings alarming results. Therefore, this book should be of interest of every clinician who has seen or may see these unfortunate children in their practice....this is a basic science text, an in-depth orientation to and a series of psychological research studies of disorganized attachment. It is useful to child psychiatrist who desires a better understanding of attachment problems typically seen in the office, and, in particular, the problems of disorganized attachment."--"The Canadian Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Review"
"This timely book looks at a condition that has been linked to relationship violence, conduct disorders, and dissociative tendencies in the individual and to unresolved experiences of loss, separation, and distress in the individual's parent....Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates through professionals." --"Choice"
"[A]superb volume, all of whose chapters are excellent....The editors lay the groundwork for understanding the phenomenon, and their contributors build on it admirably....Attachment, which is key to relationships, is the rightful focus of interdisciplinary research and applications, and any professional who needs to understand the multiple faces of attachment should read this book." --"Readings"
"Each chapter builds on the previous one in a logical progression and yet each chapter can stand alone, making this a book that one can read cover to cover or just dip into. The chapters are well written and concepts are simply and clearly explained while in no way ignoring the complexities. This makes ita book for everybody, whether you are coming to the field new or as an authority....This is an important book that makes fascinating reading. In exploring unchartered territory, it stimulates readers to take these explorations further as they start to reflect on their own experience and formulate new questions. It should be read by anyone interested in child development and mental health, but for those working in the field, either as researchers or clinicians, it is essential reading." --"Child Psychology and Psychiatry"
