Agreat deal is known about how infants form attachments, and how
these processes carry over into adolescence. But after that, the
trail grows cold: the study of adult attachment emphasizes
individual variations, paying little attention to the normative
mechanisms of adult bonding.
A much-needed corrective, "Bases" "of" "Adult" "Attachment"
examines this under-investigated topic with an eye toward creating
a robust theoretical model. The first volume of its kind, its
multilevel approach integrates current findings from neuroscience
and psychology to analyze the processes by which adult
relationships develop, mature, function and dissolve. Here in
relevant detail are factors contributing to initial attraction,
possible scenarios in the evolution from friendship to attachment
and the changes that occur on both sides of a relationship as
partners mutually influence each other's behavior, emotions,
cognition and even physiology. And expert contributors address
long-neglected questions in the field with stimulating topics such
as: The distress-relief dynamic in attachment bonding.An
expectancy-value approach to attachment.The biobehavioral legacy of
early attachment relationships for adult emotional and
interpersonal functioning.How early experiences shape attraction,
partner preferences, and attachment dynamics.How mental
representations change as attachments form.Insights into the
formation of attachment bonds from a social network
perspective.
"Bases" "of" "Adult" "Attachment" will interest scholars
approaching adult attachment at multiple levels of analysis
(neural, physiological, affective, cognitive and behavioral) and
from multiple perspectives. This wide audience includes
developmental, social and cognitive psychologists as well as
neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, clinicians, sociologists,
family researchers and professionals in public health and
medicine."
