Attachment Processes in Couple and Family Therapy First Edition

very helpful

Johnson's edited book was both interesting in its compilation of various topics related to attachment and also very helpful in understanding attachment from birth to death and all points in between. My only criticism is the heavy emphasis on research rather than on the ground understanding and a great deal of overlap between chapters.

A great disappointment unless you want to read boring research papers that are in this volume because somewhere in their text is the word "attachment." Johnson's articles are the best and clearest and least weighed down with tedious references, and distracting jargon. Like a lot of these compiled books this is are an assemby of journal articles from university types who use the least clearest way ro write to make it sould professional. Reading legal briefs is as clear. Many of the chapters will tell you little or nothing about couple therpy or aid you in your practice.

This book provides a good over view of attchment theory.

Explains complex theory in an easy to understand way. Have dipped in and out of this for research more than read it cover to cover, but feel it will last out my Masters unlike some books which have only one module of usefulness.

Purchased when I was completing couples training a few years ago. Good book still find it helpful.
