Learning from Research Special: Developments in attachment research launch event
Developments in Attachment Research explores the contributions of several research groups in developmental science that have shaped the study of attachment and caregiving in recent decades, each with a different image of the history of attachment research, of the nature of attachment, and why and how attachment research might be valuable.

ABOUT THE BOOK
In tracing changes in attachment theory over time, the book examines the development of scientific evidence and breakthroughs. However, it also examines attachment research within developmental psychology as a culture, considering its leadership, kinship structures, symbols, conflicts, points of entry or exit, and the pressures and opportunities to which it has responded or failed to respond.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Understand how attachment theory has changed over time including how contemporary research has expanded and challenged traditional views of attachment.
Explore how attachment research is shaped not only by evidence but also by the cultural, structural, and institutional dynamics within developmental science.
Recognise the multiplicity of viewpoints within attachment research, enabling more nuanced, flexible, and inclusive approaches to assessment and intervention with children and families.
