Strange Situation: A Mother's Journey into the Science of Attachment,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A fullscale investigation of the controversial and often misunderstood science of attachment theory, inspired by the authors own experience as a parent and daughter.A profound and beautiful work . . . searingly honest, brazenly fresh, and startlingly rich.Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday DemonWhen professional researcher and writer Bethany Saltman gave birth to her daughter, Azalea, she loved her deeply but felt as if something was missing. Looking back at her lonely childhood, dangerous teenage years, and loveaddicted early adulthood, Saltman thought maybe she was broken.Then she discovered the science of attachment, the field of psychology that explores the question of whyfrom an evolutionary point of viewlove exists between parents and children. Saltman went on a tenyear journey visiting labs, archives, and training sessions, while learning the meaning of delight from Mary Ainsworth, one of psychologys most important but unsung researchers, who died in 1999.Saltman went deep into the history and findings from Ainsworths famous laboratory procedure, the Strange Situation, which, like an Xray, is still used today by scientists around the world to catch a glimpse of the internal workings of attachment. In this simple twentyminute procedure, a baby and a caregiver enter an ordinary room with two chairs and some toys. During a series of comings and goings, a trained observer studies the minutiae of the pairs backandforth with each other.Through the science of attachment, what Saltman discovered was a radical departure from everything she thought she knewabout love and about her own family, her story, and herself. She was far from brokenshe saw that love is too powerful to ever break.Strange Situation is a scientific, lyrical, lifeaffirming exploration of love. Not only will readers be taken on an emotional ride through one mothers reckoning with her own past and her familys future, but they will also be given the tools with which to better understand their own life histories and their relationships today.Praise for Strange SituationA fascinating deep dive into attachment theory . . . Carefully researched and with copious endnotes, this is an excellent resource for anyone interested in child development.Publishers WeeklyHonest and complex . . . A thoughtful engagement with a topic that affects all parents.Kirkus Reviews
