Description
Attachment Across the Lifecourse: A Brief Introduction by David Howe and Lucy Betts is a comprehensive guide to modern attachment theory. This thought-provoking book explores the key concepts and describes how the main attachment types play out across the lifespan, shedding light on their impact on mental health, physical health, and relationships. The authors introduce the reader to the conceptual components of attachment theory, then delve into the four main attachment patterns: secure, avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganised. Each pattern is examined as it plays out across the life course, revealing the associated mental health, physical health, and relationship issues. The book also acknowledges some of the unresolved questions and controversies that continue to stimulate the theory. The second edition features a new chapter on applying attachment theory in various settings, including forensic settings, child protection practice, and parenting interventions. This updated guide is an invaluable resource for students and professionals across psychology, counselling, social work, and health.
