"This book covers everything students and practitioners who are new to the topic need to know about attachment across the lifespan. The accessible writing style and embedding of early theory and research within the biographical histories of the key figures involved in the development of this fascinating theory, makes for compelling reading. Indeed, each and every chapter is highly engrossing and this book will undoubtedly be enjoyed by a wide range of readers."

- Professor Jane Barlow, Professor of Evidence Based Intervention and Policy Evaluation, University of Oxford

"This is a much-needed, contemporary guide to attachment theory across the lifespan, which beautifully summarises a complex and messy topic as clearly as I have ever read it. Whether you are a Professor of Attachment or a student starting out on your psychology journey - there are nuggets of knowledge for everyone. Books on attachment theory do not come better than this!"
