DESCRIPTION:
I am particularly impressed by the work the editors and contributors to the third edition have devoted to updating, revising, and even reconceptualizing their chapters to keep up with this flourishing field. The contributors are a 'who's who' in the field. This handbook is required reading for anyone who wants information regarding the current status of attachment theory and research, including students, researchers, and professionals interested in a broad array of topics."--Nancy Eisenberg, PhD, Regents' Professor of Psychology, Arizona State University "The Handbook of Attachment reflects the kind of artful integration of behavior, emotion, and cognition that John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth hoped to set in train. The third edition is more than just a great help for scholarship and teaching--it is indispensable."--Everett Waters, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook
