Attachment Across the Lifecourse by David Howe

Attachment Across the Lifecourse by David Howe

Written by a top commentator on attachment theory, this brief introduction neatly summarises the latest thinking and research on attachment from childhood through to adulthood. It offers an essential overview for a wide student and professional audience, including social workers, psychologists, counsellors and nurses.

'The book is brief but very richYou very rarely see a child with particular attachment characteristics growing up. Not so here: the child grows up both across and within chapters. Quite honestly, I cannot remember coming across such a sharp integration of the adult social psychology and the developmental psychology perspectives.' - Professor Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, University College London '...Attachment across the lifecourse is strong: clear and engaging without being simplistic and would, in my opinion, suit well the needs of a readership requiring such a book. Students on social work training courses come to mind, as do those wanting to refresh their knowledge of the attachment field.' - Philip John Archard, Journal of Social Work Practice.
