"Attachment and Loss" (Book)

"Attachment and Loss" is a seminal work by psychologist John Bowlby that explores the deep emotional bonds between children and their caregivers. It suggests that secure attachments are crucial for healthy emotional development, while disruptions in these bonds—such as loss or separation—can lead to significant psychological issues. Bowlby argues that understanding these attachments helps explain how relationships shape our experiences and behaviors throughout life. The book emphasizes the importance of emotional ties and the impact of loss on an individual’s mental health, highlighting the universal need for connection and support in our lives.
