| Fifty Years of Attachment Theory: Recollections of Donald Winnicott and John Bowlby (Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture Series) by Karnac Books Great "Behind the Scenes" Look | | I've had the pleasure of hearing Sir Richard Bowlby speak on three separate occasions. By his own admission, Sir Richard is not a researcher nor is he a clinician. If you are looking for information on current attachment theory trends in either of these two areas, then this book will disappoint. However, if you are looking for a "behind the scenes" look at attachment theory through the eyes of the "son of attachment" (John Bowlby being the father), then this is a great little volume. Sir Richard has a perspective that is hard to find anywhere else. Sir Richard is eminently qualified to speak on such topics as, "After fifty years, why hasn't attachment theory caught on?" Sir Richard was there as his father brought together the various pieces of his theory over a period of decades. Sir Richard was there through it all--John's successes and his failures, his triumphs and his misgivings. Sir Richard is carying on his father's legacy as attachment theory's most dedicated public intellectual. If you want a a great "behind the scenes" book, this is a good one. Attachment theory could use a dozen more just like Sir Richard. I'm sure his father is very proud. | | Fifty Years of Attachment Theory: Recollections of Donald Winnicott and John Bowlby (Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture Series) by Karnac Books 50 yrs of Attachment Book | | I was VERY DISAPPOINTED in this book! I found it to be a waste of time and money! At a minimum, I thought the book would provide some overviews of the attachment and application in the professional community, but I was hoping it would provide some solid research development to assist me with my own professional research. Much of it was just personal stories. I would NOT recommend this book for anyone- either those trying to get an overview of attachment theory or for professionals seeking historical research information about it. | | Fifty Years of Attachment Theory: Recollections of Donald Winnicott and John Bowlby (Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture Series) by Karnac Books Product Description | "The Winnicott Clinic of Psychotherapy was founded in 1969 and since 2000 has concentrated on the wider dissemination of the work and ideas of Dr Donald W. Winnicott (1896-1971), the distinguished English paediatrician, child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. To that end, it has established the Winnicott Clinic Senior Research Fellowship in Psychotherapy and the Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture, an annual event designed for a wide audience of professionals and others involved with children. These lectures focus upon a specific topic, arising from Winnicott’s life and ideas, in terms of relevance for twenty-first century living." -- Eric Koops, LVO, Chairman of the Trustees, The Winnicott Clinic of Psychotherapy
Donald Winnicott and Dr John Bowlby are two of the greatest influences in the field of child analysis and therapy, whose concepts continue to inspire all those working with children today. This volume, part of a series based on the annual Donald Winnicott Memorial Lecture, is presented by Sir Richard Bowlby, followed by a paper from Pearl King. Although they both acknowledge the enormous debt child and adolescent analysis and therapy owe to these two men, the presenters also take time to recollect and reflect upon Winnicott and Bowlby as they personally knew them, giving a fascinating insight into the lives and characters of two of the greats in the field of child mental health.
In addition to the paper given by Sir Richard Bowlby, the volume includes a Foreword by Eric Koops, an Introduction by Brett Kahr and the paper "Recollections of Donald Winnicott and John Bowlby" by Pearl King. |
