Attachment Theory and Research: New Directions and Emerging Themes

by Jeffry A. Simpson (Editor), W. Steven Rholes (Editor)

This volume showcases the latest theoretical and empirical work from some of the top scholars in attachment. Extending classic themes and describing important new applications, the book examines several ways in which attachment processes help explain how people think, feel, and behave in different situations and at different stages in the life cycle. Topics include the effects of early experiences on adult relationships; new developments in neuroscience and genetics; attachment orientations and parenting; connections between attachment and psychopathology, as well as health outcomes; and the relationship of attachment theory and processes to clinical interventions.

Wouldn't recommend for casual reading, but immensely helpful for a dissertating grad student 😊

Would have liked a bit more review of general principles of attachment theory, but I can appreciate the assumption of its basic tenets. I also like the contributions from various well-researched experts on the topic...some good names!!
