| DESCRIPTION: In an insightful treatment
of the early years of John Bowlby's life and work, Suzan van Dijken sheds
light on a number of events that are very much linked to the eventual creation
of Attachment Theory but have not been known about or published to date.
In addition, she provides much new information about topics that Bowlby
was quite reluctant to discuss in detail, whether in public or in private,
and yet are clearly connected to his later life and theoretical pursuits.
This biographical portrait covers in great depth Bowlby's family of
origin, his upbringing, schooling and later education, his little-known
work with Cyril Burt, his introduction to psychoanalysis, and his involvement
in some of the major events in that world, including the Controversial
Discussions between Anna Freud and Melanie Klein.
