For John Bowlby and others who developed Attachment theory  much of the answer lies in the quality of early attachments to our primary caregivers. When those attachments are secure  we can develop a safe sense of self. When insecure  we may go on seeking safety throughout our lives  in inappropriate and painful ways. Attachment  argued Bowlby  is a matter for individual and species survival.Using principles pioneered by Bowlby  this volume explores the importance of attachments to individuals and communities. Drawing on the work of leading figures in the field of Attachment research and clinical practice  this book introduces readers to the basic ideas and applications of Attachment theory. Chapters explore  for example  the role of attachment experience in brain development  the cultural and institutional contexts in which attachment systems operate  the political consequences of personal suffering and the uses of Attachment theory in psychotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67944810545205,"sku":"ByrdShop_1855759594","price":51.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/attachment-and-human-survival-9781855759596","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
