Attachment and Loss is a seminal work of psychology that explores the fundamental processes of attachment and separation. John Bowlby's groundbreaking research reveals the instinctive responses that underpin human attachment, highlighting its crucial role in survival alongside basic needs such as nutrition and reproduction.
Through a combination of experimental studies and discoveries in the biological sciences, Bowlby sheds light on the enduring patterns of attachment and separation that shape human behaviour. This thought-provoking book offers a profound understanding of the complex relationships between individuals and their environment.
First published in 1997, this new edition of Attachment and Loss presents a comprehensive and accessible exploration of attachment theory, making it an essential read for anyone interested in psychology, family relationships, or personal growth.
