This volume provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary and multinational view of attachment theory as it applies to family systems, and family systems theory as it extends attachment theory.

  • Explores if and how attachment theory can be truly systemic, and what a systemic attachment theory would entail
  • Addresses potential clinical implications and applications of attachment and family systems theories
  • Raises cultural challenges to integrative theoretical development
  • Challenges developmental and family systems scientists and practitioners to begin an active exchange
