Psychologists from the US, Europe, Asia, and South Africa show how attachment theory applies in their cultures, and explain how professionals can develop attachment-centered interventions for
their increasingly multi-cultural clientele. They cover conceptual extensions and measurement issues, child-caregiver attachment, adult attachment, and clinical applications. Among specific
topics are cultural variation in the link between attachment and bereavement, perspectives from Turkey on culturally relevant parenting predictors of attachment security, the mother-daughter
relationship in a culture of son preference, and areas of convergence and divergence in attachment dynamics and Latin cultures. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
