Description
Attachment and Psychoanalysis: A Comparative Approach explores the relationship between attachment theory and psychoanalytic thought. Morris Eagle examines how these two areas of study can inform each other, shedding light on key aspects of psychological functioning such as infantile and adult sexuality, aggression, psychopathology, and psychotherapeutic change. Eagle critically evaluates how psychoanalytic thinking can enhance our understanding of core attachment concepts, including the internal working model. He also discusses how knowledge about attachment can enrich clinical practice and contribute to the development of psychoanalytic theory. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of attachment theory and psychoanalysis. Collaborating with Everett Waters on three chapters, Eagle provides a comprehensive analysis of attachment theory and research, highlighting its implications for both fields.
