"This is a groundbreaking piece of work, containing a life-span
view of adaptation that is both intuitively succinct and simple in
structure, yet also completely nuanced in execution. Researchers
and clinicians alike will undoubtedly benefit from the wealth of
information shared here, and it is a must-have for anyone with an
interest in attachment theory, representing a major evolutionary
step forward in the field."
*PsychCentral*
"This complex, challenging, and compassionate book is as
groundbreaking as the Adult Attachment Interview itself was
twenty-five years ago. Building on the work of Bowlby, Ainsworth,
and Main and applying recent discoveries in cognitive and
neuroscience, Crittenden and Landini detail a new path for
attachment theory. The Dynamic Maturational Model, applied to the
AAI, promises rich rewards to clinicians, basic and applied
developmental researchers, and professionals in a variety of fields
from child welfare to criminology."
*Susan Spieker, PhD, Professor and Director of Family and Child
Nursing, Center on Infant Mental Health & Development, University
of Washington*
"The book is clear, accessible, and written with compassion. It
represents a culmination of thinking and research in the best
traditions of both the scholar practitioner and the scientist
research practitioner. If I had my way, this book would form the
heart of all psychotherapeutic and applied clinical practitioner
trainings!"
*Professor Arlene Vetere, AcSS, FBPsS, PsychD, Deputy Director in
Clinical Psychology, University of Surrey*
"This book brings together a wealth of research, clinical and
training experience, offering more than just a new approach to the
analysis of adult attachment texts. It will be of great value for
researchers, clinicians, and trainers."
*Professor Rudi Dallos, Department of Clinical Psychology,
University of Plymouth*
