"The growth of attachment theory and research continues apace. The first edition of the Handbook of Attachment was a great help for scholarship and teaching. With this second edition, it has become indispensable. Show me a similar volume in any other field that so artfully integrates work on behavior, cognition, and emotion across such a wide range of ages and contexts! This is exactly what John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth hoped to set in train."—Everett Waters, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University

"This revised, thoroughly up-to-date volume documents the vibrancy and extraordinary breadth of attachment theory. No other theory has such an extensive conceptual span—from biology and lifespan development to emotion, relationships, psychopathology, and interventions. This volume is a 'must read' for graduate students and scholars who want to keep up with attachment theory's explosive run through the human sciences."—Harry Reis, PhD, Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology, University of Rochester

"Destined to become a classic reference work in the field. All chapters are completely updated, and important new topics have been added that make this an even more compelling volume than its predecessor. This book belongs in the library of professionals and graduate students in developmental and clinical psychology, pediatrics, and psychiatry."—Dante Cicchetti, PhD, McKnight Presidential Chair and Professor, Institute of Child Development and Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota
