Attachment Theory. Biological and Genetic Aspects. Volume 1

This book, which is rightly considered one of the best textbooks on attachment theory, successfully complements the exposition of the theory with a description of the implementation of advanced achievements in clinical practice. Leading psychologist researchers, united in a collective of co-authors, discuss the origins and development of attachment theory, present a biological and evolutionary perspective on the formation of attachment, and reveal the role of attachment processes in human relationships, including relationships between parents and children and in romantic relationships. The book provides reviews of typical attachment-oriented interventions designed for both children and adolescents, as well as for couples. The chapter authors examine advanced methods of assessing attachment and analyze available therapeutic tools and protocols.
