Excellent all-rounder September 13, 2007

If you are after one comprehensive, academic but also accessible text on Attachment Theory (and there are a lot of books out there on this topic) I would recommend this for parents, foster carers and also practitioners.
I particularly liked the way the book repetitively used the same structure to explain development and attachment needs for children at different ages, across different topics.
This could have been a far more impenetrable book without it's clear structure and relatively user friendly language but as it stands I found it very thorough, interesting to pick up and 'get stuck into' and full of relevant, useful studies to present a strong clear evidence base (occasionally lacking in some books on attachment theories).
It may seem a little more expensive than other texts but I think you get your money's worth as it is so comprehensive.

I would recomend this book to anyone intrested in or working with children. I am currently studying for a social work MA and found this book really useful, I almost read it from cover to cover (Which very rarely happens!). It was easy to read and made me want to learn more, rather than put the tv on. Very good value for money too.
