The papers featured in Attachment and Sexuality create a dense
tapestry, each forming a separate narrative strand that elucidates
different configurations of the relationship between attachment and
sexuality. As a whole, the volume explores the areas of convergence
and divergence, opposition, and integration between these two
systems. It suggests that there is a bi-directional web of
influences that weaves the attachment and sexual systems together
in increasingly complex ways from infancy to adulthood. The
volume's unifying thread is the idea that the attachment system,
and particularly the degree of felt security, or lack thereof in
relation to early attachment figures, provides a paradigm of
relatedness that forms a scaffold for the developmental unfolding
of sexuality in all its manifestations. Such manifestations include
infantile and adult, masturbatory and mutual, and normative and
perverse. Also central to the papers is the idea that the
development of secure attachment is predicated, in part, on the
development of the capacity for mentalization, or the ability to
envision and interpret the behavior of oneself and others in terms
of intentional mental states, including desires, feelings, beliefs,
and motivations. Topics discussed in the book will help to shape
the direction and tenor of further dialogues in the arena of
attachment and sexuality.
