Zusatztext "The authors of this remarkably comprehensive book have propelled forward attachment theory! research! and application. Attachment theory is integrated with evolution! brain development! and neuroscience. Especially important is the research charmingly documenting patterns of attachment in children raised in a remote Mexican village.The assertion that attachment patterns and crucial mother-baby interactions are limited to the culture of western countries is solidly refuted. Further the relevance for the application of attachment findings to pathogenesis! prevention! and therapy is well documented. The authors' relational approach is a valuable read for a full range of readers from students to the experts."-Joseph D.

This understanding of cultural variation is then applied to a range of clinical contexts, to enable psychoanalysts to work more effectively with patients from various backgrounds. The book also explores how differences in attachment can be reflected in changes in the brain, and how this can affect clinical practice. Zusammenfassung Attachment Across Clinical and Cultural Perspectives brings together leading thinkers in attachment theory to explore its importance across cultural, clinical and social contexts and the application of attachment relationship principles to intervention with diverse groups of children and families. These contributions collectively illustrate the robustness of attachment research in the contexts of culture, early extreme deprivation, trauma and the developing brain, providing great inspiration for anyone embracing the idea of evidence-based practice. Two chapters convey fundamentals of attachment theory, covering links between attachment and normal and pathological development and the interface between attachment and other features of evolutionary theory. Two others specifically tackle the cultural context of attachment; fundamental research findings with North American and European samples are shown to hold as well among indigenous people in a rural Mexican village, whilst the link between maternal sensitivity and secure attachment is demonstrated in a variety of cultures. Further chapters explore the role of fear and trauma in the formation of attachment; one establishes intergenerational links between parental history of trauma, dissociative states of mind and infant disorganized...
