-"Contemporary Psychology, 8/92
"The fact that the book presents a coherent picture of recent achievements in the field . . . is a tribute to the excellent editorial work of the three co-editors, all of them leaders in their diverse yet complementary disciplines. The quality of the individual contributions, their integrative non-technical style and their general accessibility make this an exceptional and extremely useful addition to the literature on attachment."
-"Times Higher Educational Supplement
"This impressive volume was the product of a workshop held in 1988, which brought together attachment theorists and researchers from all over the world. These researchers, building upon the seminal ideas of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, have created an intellectually challenging volume that offers a diverse collection of articles on current attachment theory and research."

For researchers, the volume offers a sophisticated overview of recent work that evokes apreciation for what has already been developed and excitement for what is yet to come."
