Handbook of Attachment
Second Edition
Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications
Second Edition
Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications
Edited by Jude Cassidy and Phillip R. Shaver
"I have used this volume successfully in a doctoral seminar in counseling. My students found it to be an excellent resource, one that they will keep on their bookshelves for years."
-Richard Lanthier, PhD, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, The George Washington University
"An essential reference for researchers who focus on attachment, but it also has tremendous relevance for clinicians who are interested in the biological, cognitive, and emotional underpinnings of interpersonal relationships, psychopathology, the process of therapy with different clients, and therapeutic change....The chapter authors are all experts, and many are leading researchers in the areas they review....Cuts across disciplines to discuss a wide range of issues relevant to clinicians, and as the title indicates, attempts to pull out the clinical applications in each area....Very interesting reading for clinicians and researchers who wish to understand theory and empirical research relevant to client conceptualization and treatment."
-Behavior Therapist
"This excellent book is a comprehensive look at the classic theory of attachment. It masterfully weaves theory and research with clinical practice. If you want to know about attachment, this is the book to have....This new edition is certainly justified. It has been almost 10 years since the publication of the previous edition of this book and the field has advanced, especially in the area of neuroscience and behavioral genetics."
-Doody's Review Service
"The Handbook of Attachment, Second Edition, is destined to become a classic reference work in the field. All chapters are completely updated, and important new topics have been added that make this an even more compelling volume than its predecessor. This book belongs in the library of professionals and graduate students in developmental and clinical psychology, pediatrics, and psychiatry."
-Dante Cicchetti, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair and Professor, Institute of Child Development and Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota
"The growth of attachment theory and research continues apace. The first edition of the Handbook of Attachment was a great help for scholarship and teaching. With this second edition, it has become indispensable. Show me a similar volume in any other field that so artfully integrates work on behavior, cognition, and emotion across such a wide range of ages and contexts! This is exactly what John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth hoped to set in train."
-Everett Waters, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University
"This revised, thoroughly up-to-date volume documents the vibrancy and extraordinary breadth of attachment theory. No other theory has such an extensive conceptual span-from biology and lifespan development to emotion, relationships, psychopathology, and interventions. This volume is a 'must read' for graduate students and scholars who want to keep up with attachment theory's explosive run through the human sciences."
-Harry Reis, PhD, Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology, University of Rochester

-Dante Cicchetti, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair and Professor, Institute of Child Development and Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota
"From its first appearance, the Handbook defied superlatives and instantly established itself as the attachment 'bible,' which no self-respecting child development researcher, couple counselor, or progressive psychotherapist could afford to be without. This new edition surpasses even its predecessor, with stellar contributors combining cutting-edge research findings and penetrating clinical observation. The ever-expanding field of attachment is here comprehensively charted and monitored with awe-inspiring elegance and concision."
