Synopsis

This first volume of John Bowlby's Attachment and Loss series examines the nature of the child's ties to the 'mother' figure. Beginning with a discussion of instinctive behavior, its causation, functioning, and ontogeny, Bowlby proceeds to a theoretical formulation of attachment behavior, how it develops, how it is maintained and what functions it fulfills.

Review
