To be a human being (or indeed to be a primate) is to be attached
to other fellow beings in relationships, from infancy on. This book
examines what happens when the mechanisms of early attachment go
awry, when caregiver and child do not form a relationship in which
the child finds security in times of uncertainty and stress.
Although John Bowlby, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, originally
formulated attachment theory for the express purpose of
understanding psychopathology across the life span, the concept of
attachment was first adopted by psychologists studying typical
development. In recent years, clinicians have rediscovered the
potential of attachment theory to help them understand
psychological/psychiatric disturbance, a potential that has now
been amplified by decades of research on typical development.
Attachment Issues in Psychopathology and Intervention is the first
book to offer a comprehensive overview of the implications of
current attachment research and theory for conceptualizing
psychopathology and planning effective intervention efforts. It
usefully integrates attachment considerations into other frameworks
within which psychopathology has been described and points new
directions for investigation. The contributors, who include some of
the major architects of attachment theory, link what we have
learned about attachment to difficulties across the life span, such
as failure to thrive, social withdrawal, aggression, anxiety,
depression, bipolar disorder, dissociation, trauma,
schizo-affective disorder, narcissistic personality disorder,
eating disorders, and comorbid disorders. While all chapters are
illuminated by rich case examples and discuss intervention at
length, half focus solely on interventions informed by attachment
theory, such as toddler-parent psychotherapy and emotionally
focused couples therapy. Mental health professionals and
researchers alike will find much in this book to stimulate and
facilitate effective new approaches to their work.
