Attachment Theory Expanded: Security Dynamics in Individuals, Dyads, Groups, and Societies

Autor Mario Mikulincer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 sep 2023

Sub coordonarea profesorului Mario Mikulincer, un cercetător de vârf de la Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, această lucrare reprezintă o expansiune teoretică ambițioasă a paradigmei atașamentului. Notăm cu interes colaborarea sa îndelungată cu Phillip R. Shaver, împreună cu care reușește să transpună mecanismele securității psihologice din sfera intimă a familiei în structuri sociale complexe. Găsim în această carte un cadru clinic riguros care nu se limitează la psihologia dezvoltării, ci investighează modul în care atașamentul funcționează în cadrul organizațiilor, între lideri și adepți sau chiar în relația medic-pacient.

Descoperim aici o structură logică în trei părți: de la fundamentele teoretice ale expansiunii, la ciclul distres-relief și, în final, la implicațiile societale. Autorii analizează „baza de siguranță” nu doar ca suport pentru explorarea individuală, ci ca pilon pentru bunăstarea colectivă. Pe linia clinică a lucrării Safety, Danger, and Protection in the Family and Community, dar cu accent pe mecanismele psihologice de reglare a securității în grupuri mari și sisteme de autoritate, textul oferă o perspectivă integrativă asupra rezilienței. Față de lucrarea lor anterioară, Attachment Theory Applied, care se concentra pe intervenții clinice pentru creșterea personală, volumul de față lărgește spectrul analitic către sociologie și psihologie organizațională, abordând chiar și atașamentul față de obiecte sau branduri.

Stilul este unul clinic și academic, volumul de 435 de pagini fiind esențial pentru înțelegerea modului în care amenințările și pierderile sunt procesate la nivel de grup. Este o analiză fundamentală a modului în care securitatea resimțită poate genera o iubire matură, orientată către ceilalți, și o sănătate mintală robustă în fața conflictelor inevitabile ale vieții moderne.

Recenzii

"Mikulincer and Shaver, two of our leading and most creative attachment theorists, have written an outstanding book that elevates attachment theory and future research to new levels. Their ambitious expansion of the theory to explain security dynamics beyond individuals to dyads, groups, and societal units is one of the boldest and most important extensions of the theory since Bowlby's original formulations. This book is a 'must read' for anyone interested in attachment processes and dynamics."--Jeffry A. Simpson, PhD, Distinguished University Teaching Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota

"More than any other scholars, Mikulincer and Shaver have led the evolution of attachment from a theory of early child development to a lifespan model of relationships and emotions. This far-reaching and deeply integrative book takes attachment theory the next step forward. It demonstrates how basic principles can be expanded to describe and explain the adaptive benefits of attachment security throughout life and across our many personal, social, group, and organizational relationships. Spanning diverse theories and a cornucopia of research, Mikulincer and Shaver’s eloquent, incisive account is sure to stimulate the intellectual appetites of novice and experienced scholars alike."--Harry T. Reis, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Dean's Professor in Arts, Sciences and Engineering, University of Rochester

"In Attachment Theory Expanded, Mikulincer and Shaver move attachment theory beyond a focus on security and safety, revealing the importance of a secure base in fostering learning, growth, friendship, intimacy, and psychological wellness. This highly accessible volume not only updates traditional attachment theory, but also links it to other contemporary perspectives in motivation, positive psychology, and mental health. Destined to become a classic, this book is relevant to scholars, students, and practitioners across the fields of social, clinical, and developmental psychology."--Richard M. Ryan, PhD, Institute for Positive Psychology and Education, Australian Catholic University; Distinguished Professor, Ewha Womans University, South Korea-

Descriere scurtă

From pioneering attachment researchers, this book takes an expansive look at the nature and functions of security dynamics in personal and social relationships. Mario Mikulincer and Phillip R. Shaver examine how attachment operates not only in close dyadic relationships (parent–child, romantic partners), but also between teachers and students, therapists and clients, physicians and patients, leaders and followers, and within organizations. Also considered is the nature of "attachments" to objects; commercial brands; substances, such as foods and drugs; and places. The book highlights ways to integrate attachment theory with other influential social and psychological theories concerning factors that enable individuals, groups, and societies to flourish despite inevitable threats, conflicts, and losses.
