Widely regarded as the state-of-the-science reference on attachment, this handbook interweaves theory and cutting-edge research with clinical applications. Leading researchers examine the origins and development of attachment theory; present biological and evolutionary perspectives; and explore the role of attachment processes in relationships, including both parent–child and romantic bonds. Implications for mental health and psychotherapy are addressed, with reviews of exemplary attachment-oriented interventions for children and adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Contributors discuss best practices in assessment and critically evaluate available instruments and protocols.

Review

“This third edition of Cassidy and Shaver’s Handbook will be an instant classic, like prior editions. The contributors are a ‘who’s who’ in the field. The chapter coverage is exhaustive and timely in its treatment of long-standing and emerging issues in attachment theory and research, such as measurement, biological influences, interventions, and special populations. I use this handbook as the main text in a doctoral seminar on attachment theory and research taken by students in counseling, education, and psychology. Students have found the volume incredibly useful and comment on how it will remain on their shelves. A ‘must have’ for the researcher or clinician interested in attachment processes across the lifespan.”–Richard Lanthier, PhD, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, George Washington University

“Impressive. The list of authors in the third edition includes nearly all of the ongoing major contributors to the attachment literature. Chapters provide important updates, theoretical perspectives, and nuanced discussion. The breadth and depth of the content are stunning. This handbook is required reading for anyone who wants information regarding the current status of attachment theory and research, including students, researchers, and professionals interested in a broad array of topics.”–Nancy Eisenberg, PhD, Regents’ Professor of Psychology, Arizona State University

“The Handbook of Attachment reflects the kind of artful integration of behavior, emotion, and cognition that John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth hoped to set in train. I am particularly impressed by the work the editors and contributors to the third edition have devoted to updating, revising, and even reconceptualizing their chapters to keep up with this flourishing field. The third edition is more than just a great help for scholarship and teaching–it is indispensable.”–Everett Waters, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University

“The latest edition of the Handbook of Attachment…will be very useful to those who research attachment processes, use attachment theory in their clinical work, or teach courses on attachment….Collectively, the chapters provide ready access to what John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth said and did, what researchers have revealed about their theory, how the measurement of attachment has evolved over time, and how attachment theory informs understanding of relationships, personality, and psychopathology. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.”
