Ethological attachment theory is a landmark of 20th century social
and behavioral sciences theory and research. This new paradigm for
understanding primary relationships across the lifespan evolved
from John Bowlby's critique of psychoanalytic drive theory and his
own clinical observations, supplemented by his knowledge of fields
as diverse as primate ethology, control systems theory, and
cognitive psychology. By the time he had written the first volume
of his classic Attachment and Loss trilogy, Mary D. Salter
Ainsworth's naturalistic observations in Uganda and Baltimore, and
her theoretical and descriptive insights about maternal care and
the secure base phenomenon had become integral to attachment
theory. Patterns of Attachment reports the methods and key results
of Ainsworth's landmark Baltimore Longitudinal Study. Following
upon her naturalistic home observations in Uganda, the Baltimore
project yielded a wealth of enduring, benchmark results on the
nature of the child's tie to its primary caregiver and the
importance of early experience. It also addressed a wide range of
conceptual and methodological issues common to many developmental
and longitudinal projects, especially issues of age appropriate
assessment, quantifying behavior, and comprehending individual
differences. In addition, Ainsworth and her students broke new
ground, clarifying and defining new concepts, demonstrating the
value of the ethological methods and insights about behavior.
Today, as we enter the fourth generation of attachment study, we
have a rich and growing catalogue of behavioral and narrative
approaches to measuring attachment from infancy to adulthood. Each
of them has roots in the Strange Situation and the secure base
concept presented in Patterns of Attachment. It inclusion in the
Psychology Press Classic Editions series reflects Patterns of
Attachment's continuing significance and insures its availability
to new generations of students, researchers, and clinicians.
