This accessible book draws on unique evidence from oral histories
and little-known archive material to shed new light on the working
relationships which led to John Bowlby’s shift from
psychoanalysis to ethology as a frame of reference – and
ultimately to the development of attachment theory.
* A unique exploration of the origins of Bowlby’s ideas and
the critical transformation in his thinking – offers an
alternative to standard accounts of the origin of attachment
theory
* Explores the significance of Bowlby’s influential working
relationships with Robert Hinde, Harry Harlow, James Robertson and
Mary Ainsworth
* Provides students, academics, and practitioners with clear
insights into the development of attachment theory
* Accessible to general readers interested in psychology and
psychoanalysis
