Along with providing comprehensive reviews of the literature across a number of attachment-related topics, this book directly confronts a number of longstanding issues in the field. These include the validity of self-reports; change and stability in attachment security; explicit versus implicit working models; and general versus relationship-specific attachment. Dealing with attachment issues in therapy is also an important focus. A 'must read' for those seriously interested in research in adult attachment. - Pat Noller, School of Psychology (Emeritus), University of Queensland, Australia
