John Bowlby is honorary staff member of the Tavistock Clinic in London.
Bowlby’s magisterial trilogy analyzes the impact of attachment, separation, and loss, and this first volume focuses on the critical role of the bond between mother and infant in emotional development. Allan Schore, whose pioneering synthesis of neurobiology with attachment research has shown how the brain gets into the act, contributes a foreword that catapults Bowlby’s legacy into the new millennium.
The most complete examination of the implications of attachment and loss of mother to infant yet written...an excellent definitive work of great importance.
