The Myth of Attachment Theory confronts the uncritical acceptance
of attachment theory - challenging its scientific basis and
questioning the relevance in our modern, superdiverse and
multicultural society - and exploring the central concern of how
children, and their way of forming relationships, differ from each
other. In this book, Heidi Keller examines diverse multicultural
societies, proposing that a single doctrine cannot best serve all
children and families. Drawing on cultural, psychological and
anthropological research, this challenging volume respects cultural
diversity as the human condition and demonstrates how the wide
heterogeneity of children's worlds must be taken seriously to avoid
painful or unethical consequences that might result from the
application of attachment theory in different fields. The book
explores attachment theory as a scientific construct, deals with
attachment theory as the foundation of early education, specifies
the dimensions that need to be considered for a culturally
conscious approach and, finally, approaches ethical problems which
result from the universality claim of attachment theory in
different areas. This book employs multiple and mixed methods,
while also going beyond critical analysis of theory to offer
insight into the implications of the unquestioning acceptance of
this theory in such areas as childhood interventions, diagnosis of
attachment security, international intervention programs and
educational settings. This volume will be a crucial read for
scholars and researchers in developmental, educational and clinical
psychology, as well as educators, teachers-in-training and other
professionals working with children and their families.
