Review

"This volume provides clear evidence of how far research in adult attachment has progressed in the last 20 years. The authors reveal great depth in theorizing, creativity in the application of methodologies, and a focus on a broader range of variables than ever before. Essential reading for all serious students of adult attachment."--Pat Noller, PhD, School of Psychology (Emeritus), University of Queensland, Australia

"Attachment theory is changing the world of social and clinical psychology, and this volume--with its rich general understanding and its ability to offer specific insights into the territory of relationships--is a fine example of the ever-expanding horizons of attachment theory and research. The book builds on the work of Phillip Shaver, who has led the field for two decades and who offers a transforming vision of adult attachment. The reader will find conceptual clarity, descriptions of fascinating research, and clinical wisdom on every page."--Susan M. Johnson, EdD, School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, Canada

"This outstanding volume updates and expands the groundbreaking research methodology and conceptual framework that has allowed psychologists to examine adult romantic relationships as attachments. It wasn't too long ago that this was viewed as a radical notion! With a solid understanding of attachment theory's roots in the fields of biology and evolution, the contributing authors make a significant advance by underscoring the ways in which attachment components of romantic relationships are interwoven with caregiving and sexuality. This volume offers key insights to researchers and clinicians interested in fully understanding the complexities of that 'crazy little thing called love.'"--Jude Cassidy, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park
