For over ten years The Bowlby Memorial Lecture has provided an
opportunity for clinicians and researchers to present work at the
leading edge in the field of Attachment Theory and its
applications. This year's theme "Touch: Attachment and the Body"
was particularly successful in bringing new thinking into these
often misunderstood, complex areas of mental health. "In this
welcome collection, Kate White has gathered together the
presentations from the tenth John Bowlby Memorial Conference so
that we can explore issues of the body and the historically taboo
subject of touch in psychoanalysis. The authors, all of whom
utilize the framework of contemporary attachment theory, challenge
the discipline's neglect of touch and move towards a relational
conceptualization of bodies and selves-in-relation. Clinical
attention is paid to traumatised patients who have been brought up
with little experience of loving touch, as well as to the complex
difficulties raised when touch enters the consulting room. This
collection demonstrates that although the body may have been
under-theorised by attachment theorists, it has always been
implicit. Touch: Attachment and the Body is a significant and
valuable addition to the exploration of the body in contemporary
relational psychoanalysis." -- Lewis Aron, Ph.D., Director, New
York University, Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and
Psychoanalysis. Co-editor with F. S. Anderson, (1998) of Relational
Perspectives on the Body, Hillside NJ: Analytic Press.Contributors
