ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΔΙΑΚΟΠΗ ΤΩΝ ΣΥΝΑΙΣΘΗΜΑΤΙΚΩΝ ΔΕΣΜΩΝ
Τι είναι αυτό που συμβάλλει στην ανθρώπινη ευτυχία ή δυστυχία; Πόσο σημαντική είναι η δημιουργία και η διακοπή των συναισθηματικών σχέσεων ανάμεσα στη μητέρα και το παιδί στα πρώτα χρόνια της ζωής του; Με ζητούμενο την εξέλιξη του παιδιού σε ένα ισορροπημένο κι ευτυχισμένο άτομο, το βιβλίο κινείται στους άξονες αφενός της δημιουργίας υγιών και πλούσια συναισθηματικά δεσμών με τα άτομα που είναι σημαντικά στα πρώτα χρόνια της ζωής του, καθώς και τους παράγοντες που συντείνουν σ' έναν τέτοιο σκοπό, και αφετέρου της διακοπής, προσωρινής ή μόν...

(P/B) ATTACHMENT
In this classic work of psychology John Bowlby examines the processes that take place in attachment and separation and shows how experimental studies of children provide us with a recognizable behaviour pattern which is confirmed by discoveries in the biological sciences. He makes clear that human attachment is an instinctive response to the need for protection against predators, and one as important for survival as nutrition and reproduction.

(P/B) LOSS
In this third and final volume John Bowlby completes the trilogy Attachment and Loss, his much acclaimed work on the importance of the parental relationship to mental health. Here he examines the ways in which young children respond to a temporary or permanent loss of a mother-figure and the expression of anxiety, grief and mourning which accompany such loss. The theories presented differ in many ways from those advanced by Freud and elaborated by his followers, so much so that the frame of reference now offered for understanding personali...

(P/B) SEPARATION
Separation, the second volume of Attachment and Loss, continues John Bowlby's influential work on the importance of the parental relationship to mental health. Here he considers separation and the anxiety that accompanies it: the fear of imminent or anticipated separation, the fear induced by parental threats of separation, and the inversion of the parent-child relationship. Dr Bowlby re-examines the situations that cause us to feel fear and compares them with evidence gained from animals. He concludes that fear is initially aroused by cer...

(P/B) A SECURE BASE
As Bowlby himself points out in his introduction to this seminal childcare book, to be a successful parent means a lot of very hard work. Giving time and attention to children means sacrificing other interests and activities. For many people today these are unwelcome truths. Yet a healthy parent-child bond is not only vital for well-being, but an essential part of what it means to be human. Attachment theory teaches that there are three main attachment patterns - secure, avoidant or ambivalent, and these behaviours continue into adulthood....
