To what extent do our early relationships shape our attachment behavior in adulthood? Attachment theory provides a well-founded and comprehensive model that explains how our earliest experiences not only influence our development as children but also our feelings and behavior later in life. David Howe's concise and engaging book is the ideal introduction to this fascinating and rapidly growing field of research. It outlines the central concepts of attachment theory and explains the role of different attachment styles in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Students and professionals in therapy, counseling, and coaching will find an insightful and thought-provoking introduction to the complexity of human behavior here.
