Description

For the first time, John Bowlby's complete and near-complete works from the John Bowlby Archive are being published. This remarkable collection spans his thinking from early ideas to later reflections, offering insights into loss, mourning, depression, anxiety, guilt, identification, conflict, trauma, and loss.

The archive is divided into four parts, each exploring a different aspect of Bowlby's work. Part 1 examines the role of defence mechanisms in response to loss, while Part 2 delves into his ideas on anxiety, guilt, and identification. Parts 3 and 4 feature seminars on conflict and later reflections on trauma and loss, showcasing Bowlby's innovative approach to clinical concepts and psychoanalysis.

This collection is essential reading for clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in human development, relationships, and adversity. It provides a unique opportunity to understand Bowlby's relationship with psychoanalysis and his elaboration of key concepts in attachment theory, as well as moments of self-criticism that offer valuable insights into his work as a therapist.
