Attachment Across Clinical and Cultural Perspectives brings
together leading thinkers in attachment theory to explore its
importance across cultural, clinical and social contexts and the
application of attachment relationship principles to intervention
with diverse groups of children and families. These contributions
collectively illustrate the robustness of attachment research in
the contexts of culture, early extreme deprivation, trauma and the
developing brain, providing great inspiration for anyone embracing
the idea of evidence-based practice. Two chapters convey
fundamentals of attachment theory, covering links between
attachment and normal and pathological development and the
interface between attachment and other features of evolutionary
theory. Two others specifically tackle the cultural context of
attachment; fundamental research findings with North American and
European samples are shown to hold as well among indigenous people
in a rural Mexican village, whilst the link between maternal
sensitivity and secure attachment is demonstrated in a variety of
cultures. Further chapters explore the role of fear and trauma in
the formation of attachment; one establishes intergenerational
links between parental history of trauma, dissociative states of
mind and infant disorganized attachment, another looks at the
consequences of early extreme deprivation (institutional rearing)
for attachment. A third describes the impact of attachment
experiences on brain development. Finally, the book explores
intervention guided by attachment theory, research on fear and
trauma, and an understanding of how attachment experiences leave
their mark on parental psyche and behaviour. Attachment Across
Clinical and Cultural Perspectives gathers authoritative
information from leading experts in the field in an easily
readable, practical way. It will appeal to psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists, to professionals who serve the
developmental and mental health needs of adults, children and
families, and anyone seeking to base their intervention work and
therapy upon attachment principles.

The definitive work on a groundbreaking study, this essential
volume provides a coherent picture of the complexity of development
from birth to adulthood. Explicated are both the methodology of the
Minnesota study and its far-reaching contributions to understanding
how we become who we are. The book marshals a vast body of data on
the ways in which individuals' strengths and vulnerabilities are
shaped by myriad influences, including early experiences, family
and peer relationships throughout childhood and adolescence,
variations in child characteristics and abilities, and
socioeconomic conditions. Implications for clinical intervention
and prevention are also addressed. Rigorously documented and
clearly presented, the study's findings elucidate the twists and
turns of individual pathways, illustrating as never before the
ongoing interplay between developing children and their
environments.
In the past, researchers have treated the development of the emotions and the task of emotional regulation as two separate topics, the former emphasizing "normative" questions and the latter emphasizing "individual" differences. Until now, understanding the first topic has never been seen as relevant for the second. This is the area pioneered by Emotional Development. This book presents the early phases of emotional life from a developmental perspective. It argues that emotional generation hinges on the developing ability to express arousal or "tension" in accordance with one's context. It reveals the common core processes underlying the emergence of specific emotions and the capacity for emotional regulation. The book also explains the timing of emotional emergence, why emotions function as they do, and individual styles of emotional regulation. Close ties between emotional development, cognitive, social and CNS development are discussed, as well.
