Adult Attachment

About this book

In recent years, the study of attachment has expanded well beyond its original focus on infant-caregiver bonds to encompass many compelling questions about development, psychological functioning, and relationship processes across the lifespan. This volume brings together leading investigators to showcase important theoretical and empirical advances in adult attachment during the last decade. Reviewing the state of the science of this dynamic area--and updating the growing knowledge base--chapters also consider clinical implications and introduce new, testable theoretical models to guide future research.
