Attachment, Separation and Psychoanalysis: Selected Works

A collection of lectures covering over 20 years of work by the founder of attachment theory, John Bowlby. Through research on childhood experience, he demonstrates how separation, loss, and unstable relationships with parents shape anxiety, anger, depression, and various personality traits. The book explains how early connections turn into internal models that define our relationships in adult life.

This is a key work in which Bowlby revisits classical psychoanalysis and introduces attachment theory as the basis for understanding the psyche.
