Attachment : Volume One of the Attachment and Loss Trilogy - Thryft

Understanding the dynamics of human attachment and separation.

Recommendation: This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the intricate web of human emotions and relationships. Dr. Bowlby's comprehensive exploration of attachment and separation sheds light on our instinctive need for connection and protection. Through a combination of psychological analysis and biological research, the author presents a compelling argument that attachment is a fundamental aspect of human survival. This thought-provoking work challenges conventional beliefs and offers invaluable insights into our emotional development.

Description

In this classic work of psychology John Bowlby examines the processes that take place in attachment and separation and shows how experimental studies of children provide us with a recognizable behaviour pattern which is confirmed by discoveries in the biological sciences. He makes clear that human attachment is an instinctive response to the need for protection against predators, and one as important for survival as nutrition and reproduction.
