Patterns of Attachment: A Psychological Study of the Strange Situation: Classic Edition

Written by the founding mother of attachment theory, Patterns of Attachment is a truly groundbreaking book that solidified and popularized Mary D. Salter Ainsworth's "Strange Situation" procedure and classification system. This long overdue Classic Edition will be introduced by Ainsworth's co-authors who will describe how Patterns of Attachment became a singular landmark in the field. They'll trace the significance of Ainsworth's work to the history of attachment theory and show how her contributions have influenced research on attachment across the lifespan, developmental psychopathology, cross-cultural studies, public policy and more.
