This book covers the groundbreaking concepts in attachment theory,
as promulgated by Bowlby himself and during the years post Bowlby.
It sets out to develop the seminal concept of 'learned security':
the provision of a reparative experience of a secure base by the
therapist so that the client can imbibe what he missed out on
during his formative years. Rhona M. Fear points out that the idea
of learned security has developed from the concept of earned
security but is distinctly different. In Part I, Fear outlines the
origins and progress of attachment theory and the concepts of
earned and learned security. In Part II, she uses a process of
dialectical thinking to put forward an integration of Kohut's self
psychology, Bowlby's attachment theory, and Stolorow, Atwood and
Brandchaft's intersubjective perspective. The unifying concept that
binds these three theories together is that of empathy, but she
puts forward a particular intersubjective, collaborative view of
empathic attunement.
