| Résumé : | "There is increasing and widespread international interest in attachment theory (including policy makers, clinicians and practitioners, graduate students, as well as laypersons). Yet, major researchers as well as important theoretical and empirical contributions are often poorly read and understood, and key texts are not readily accessible together. Indeed, it has been highlighted that misconceptions of the theory are common, even among practitioners putting the theory to work, and that usage of attachment theory have sometimes reflected serious misapplications. We have reasons to believe that part of the issue lies in the fact that important texts about attachment lie in journals behind paywalls or in books that are either not readily available to clinicians and other interested readers, or are too extensive and therefore put readers off. The aim of the proposed book is therefore to provide a book that is sufficiently short and accessible -- "reader" -- which will nonetheless provide an interesting and up to date account of attachment theory and its diversity. We therefore propose an "attachment reader" containing reprints of carefully selected book chapters and journal articles, spiced with previously unpublished material by the founder of the theory"-- |
