Author(s) : Toni Mandelbaum

Reviews and Endorsements

"This comprehensive text is unique in reviewing over 50 years of Attachment Theory, from Bowlby's conceptualization of infant-caregiver dyads, extending through the lenses of social, developmental and biological psychology and neuroscience research, and culminating in applications in adult relationships and clinical practice. The final chapters masterfully draw together all theoretical and empirical strands explored in preceding chapters. The clear prose and wide-ranging advanced content make it both accessible to students and essential reading for experienced clinicians. Highly recommended!" - Flora Hoodin, PhD, Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of Michigan, Professor Emerita, Eastern Michigan University.

"This book is required reading for anyone who is interested in obtaining in-depth information regarding attachment theory, research, and clinical practice. It includes a major body of research in neuroscience and human development. Definitely a great source to understand how attachment informs and affects many aspects of our lives." - Ting Liu, PhD, President, the Asian Association for Emotionally Focused Couple and Family Therapy and Clinical Director, Philadelphia Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy.

"Toni Mandelbaum has done the lord's work by bringing together the many strands that have been woven together into attachment theory. The result illuminates its foundational importance for the way we are and for the way we are in relationships. She has provided a comprehensive understanding of attachment theory's clinical relevance with regards to relationships, affect regulation, the formation of the self and, most of all, the importance of connection. A real contribution and a must-read for anyone wishing to bring attachment theory into their way of working." - Daniel Hill, PhD - Author of Affect Regulation Theory: A Clinical Model, Professor, The NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy and The National Institute of Psychotherapies.
