During his lifetime John Bowlby the founder of attachment theory was unable to publish as he wished due to strong opposition to his ideas. Now with the support of the Bowlby family several complete and near-complete works from the John Bowlby Archive at the Wellcome Collection are published for the first time. The collection spans Bowlby’s thinking from his early ideas to later reflections and is split into four parts. Part 1 includes essays on the topic of loss mourning and depression outlining his thoughts on the role of defence mechanisms. Part 2 covers Bowlby’s ideas around anxiety guilt and identification including reflections on his observations of and work with evacuated children. Part 3 features three seminars on the subject of conflict in which Bowlby relates clinical concepts to both political philosophy and psychoanalysis in innovative ways. Part 4 consists of Bowlby’s later reflections on trauma and loss and on his own work as a therapist. This remarkable collection not only clarifies Bowlby’s relationship with psychoanalysis but features his elaboration of key concepts in attachment theory and important moments of self-criticism. It will be essential reading for clinicians researchers and others interested in human development relationships and adversity. | Trauma and Loss Key Texts from the John Bowlby Archive
