Separation: Anxiety and Anger

Attachment and Loss #2

by John Bowlby

Dr. Bowlby's second pioneering volume examines the effect of separation on the development of the child and the psychopathology that often follows separation. The experience of separation and the ensuing susceptibility to anxiety, anger, and fear constitute the flip side of the attachment phenomenon. In an authoritative new foreword to Bowlby's classic study, Stephen Mitchell (who gives resonant voice to the relational perspective in psychoanalysis) bridges the distance between attachment theory and the psychoanalytic tradition.

Bowlby will always be my hero, though his writing is a real snore. but the evidence of his theory happens ALL THE TIME. He's right up there with Darwin and Jung, and other heroes, oh yeah.

This book showed me my early childhood depression caused by being separated from Grandma.

Čteno v češtině. Základní výzkumy v 70. letech, především o pobytu dětí v jeslích a o matčině nepřítomnosti v řádu dnů a týdnů. Čekala jsem více o naprostém odloučení, leč nikoliv. Dnes už klasické dílo.
