This collection of lectures and previously published papers brings together the essentials of Bolwlby's contributions. The very first paper summaries his work on the effects of separation of children from their caregivers that was intrumental in bringing ciritical changes in the manner that hospitals and other institutions deal with children's separations from their caregivers. He succinctly summarizes his formulation of attachment theory, which is now regarded as the keystone for understanding infants' early relationships with their caregivers. As a bonus, there are two papers on psychoanalysis as a science that forshadow the need to bring together psychoanalysis as a discipline and the emerging knowledge about brain development that is being acquired by neuroscientists. It is a pleasure to read this small volume. Joe Palombo

I have only gotten about 1/3 of the way through this book so far. What is keeping me from reading more is the technical aspect of his writing style. The book goes through case studies and presentations the author has put together... I'd rather have a more easy to read style.

Freud saw the development of the ability to form affectionate bonds through the dark glass of psychoanalysis. Bowlby and his associates have given us the ability to see the development of inter-personal relations with the clarity of the scientific method and with deep human understanding. Anyone interested in improving our ability to love one another will find this book useful.
