Attachment theory is an actively developing area of psychology, where scientific discussions are constantly taking place and new ideas are being proposed. The editors of the book identified nine key questions and invited leading experts to provide answers to them. The book presents various perspectives on what attachment relationships are, how to assess the reliability of attachment, how internal working models function, how early attachment relationships influence behavior in adulthood, what difficulties arise when working in a multicultural environment, how to conduct therapeutic interventions based on attachment models, and much more. In the concluding chapter, the editors identify points of convergence and divergence in the presented opinions and draw important conclusions regarding the directions of future research.
Over the past few decades, this has been one of the most important books on attachment theory. The editors gathered a whole team of authoritative specialists and invited them to answer nine fundamental questions. This is what makes the book so interesting — the synthesis of ideas from experienced scholars and young researchers allows for a new perspective on the key issues in this field. An additional plus is the brevity and specificity of each chapter. The book will provide rich food for thought for those who are seriously engaged in the study of attachment theory and developmental psychology.
