A classic that presented an alternative model of instinctive behavior

John Bowlby's masterpiece, which grafts Darwinian and Freudian theories onto attachment theory.

The first edition of 『Attachment』 was published in 1969, but a revised edition was published in 1982 to reflect various studies conducted since then.
In addition, a new edition was published in 1999, including a foreword by Alan Shore, which reinterprets the development of human emotions from a neurobiological perspective.
This book, which was published 50 years ago this year, is a modern classic that is widely read and cited in fields such as psychoanalysis, psychiatry, developmental psychology, counseling psychology, social welfare, family studies, and child studies.
Attachment theory, which became known in the academic world of psychoanalysis and developmental psychology starting with this book, originally originated in the UK, but further developed there and is currently being actively studied in countries around the world.


The fundamental proposition of attachment theory is that infants and young children must experience a warm, close, and ongoing relationship with their mothers (or a mother substitute) or that failure to do so will result in serious and irreversible maladaptive consequences.
According to this theory, attachment refers to the process by which an infant seeks proximity to an attachment figure in stressful or frightening situations, and this process is fundamentally intended to achieve the goal of individual survival.
That is, this theory suggests that infants need to form stable relationships with adult caregivers, and without such stable relationships, infants cannot develop normally socially and emotionally.
