Product Description

Review
'I am delighted to see the publication of the Handbook of Attachment. This volume fully represents the continuing development of attachment theory, the proliferation of relevant data collection procedures, and the expansion of applications of the theory. I am particularly gratified - and I know John Bowlby would be as well - by the ways in which the work is being applied in clinical settings. This Handbook is certain to be a rich source of information and ideas for years to come, providing experts with solid reviews of topical areas, and helping newcomers understand what has been accomplished and what remains to be done. Attachment researchers have a great deal to be proud of - and many exciting directions to pursue.' - Mary D. Ainsworth 'Destined to become a classic, this comprehensive volume covers the theoretical, empirical, and clinical aspects of attachment. Superb chapters span the developmental period from infancy through adulthood and address psychological and biological perspectives. The distinguished group of contributors is a veritable 'Who's Who' in the field. This definitive work is essential for anyone interested in developmental psychology and developmental psychopathology.' - Dante Cicchetti 'A magnum opus in every sense of those words... Cassidy and Shaver have provided those who teach and research in attachment a highly readable and invaluable resource. It will undoubtedly become one of the most valuable reference books available on this very popular topic.' - Contemporary Psychology 'The Handbook of Attachment really is a 'must' reference... Practitioners who use attachment theory in their clinical work will find it enlightening.' - Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 'Should be considered an essential reference book for mental health practitioners who provide treatment to people of all ages... Clinicians and researchers alike who are either skeptical of the relevance of attachment theory or who are convinced of its central importance to human development will find a broad and deep pool of valuable information in this book.' - Psychoanalytic Social Work

Product Description
This comprehensive Handbook provides a landmark review and synthesis of the current state of knowledge about attachment and loss in children and adults. Bringing researchers, clinicians, and students up to date on one of one of the leading theoretical perspectives in contemporary psychology, pre-eminent authorities in the field cover the origins and development of attachment theory, biological perspectives, measurement of attachment across the lifespan, clinical applications, and emerging topics and perspectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reference book, 25 April 2005
By H. Musto "nell59" (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
not the kind of book to sit and read like a novel but then you wouldn't expect that. however, it's well written, well laid out and will make a good reference book for anyone who needs to know about attachment theory for their work
