The third volume in the Attachment and Loss series that studies the impact of parental loss on a child's mental health.

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 personality development and psychopathology amounts to a new paradigm.

Attachment and Loss is a deeply important series of works that continue to influence the landscape of psychoanalysis and psychology, and Loss its revelatory closing chapter.

Reviews for Loss - Sadness and Depression: Attachment and Loss Volume 3

It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of Dr Bowlby's work... In practical terms, his ideas have modified and continue to influence the rearing of children and the treatment of those who are disturbed. In theoretical terms, his contributions have given psychoanalysis a shot in the arm and a biological perspective which was sadly lacking. * Sunday Times * The publication of Attachment and Loss will prove a turning point in the history of psychoanalysis and in psychology generally. * Times Literary Supplement * There can be no question that Bowlby is making a major contribution to the understanding of deviant emotional development in childhood and after. * Child Psychology and Psychiatry *
