Bowlby’s seminal contribution to the way we understand attachment concludes with an examination of loss. He offers not only a new developmental model but also rare insight into the dynamics of mourning, the problems of depression, and the processes of accommodation and healing. An appreciation by Daniel Stern, whose research on the mother/infant bond affirms and expands on Bowlby’s work, fittingly graces this new edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read,
By Jannike "Jannike, Oslo, Norway" (Norway, Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Loss: Sadness And Depression (Basic Books Classics) (Paperback)
This is the fundamental book in attachment theory. The first to really understand this important issue. Nice to read, simple and very informative.
