Attachment Across the Lifecourse: A Brief Introduction

Author(s) : David Howe

Reviews and Endorsements

'The book is brief but very rich. You very rarely see a child with particular attachment characteristics growing up. Not so here: the child grows up both across and within chapters. Quite honestly, I cannot remember coming across such a sharp integration of the adult social psychology and the developmental psychology perspectives.'
- Professor Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, University College London
