All of the information about attachment theory is located in this one volume. I read a big chunk of the text, and accessed much of the rest throughout a course that I took on the same topic. Science heavy, with reference lists at the close of each chapter—this is a fabulous resource.

Fairly useful for the assignment I needed it for. This resource offers quite in depth knowledge about attachment theories. If you're studying psychology or even stages of development, this is a useful resource to further your knowledge about the topic.

An incredible compendium of research on attachment.

No, I did not read all of the almost 1,000 page book. I got it in 2017. I had gone to a seminar on Attachment with Solomon, Main, Siegel and others--I think in 2016. I picked this back up during the weekend as supplemental reading for a specific client case.

Oxford Press has done a nice job with this. It's an excellent reference.

I became interested in this book because Russell T Osguthorpe speaks highly of attachment theory.

read this for an exam. it was actually decent and very interesting except for some chapters that were too focused on research's results and forgot to draw coherent conclusions. also, pretty old.
