"This book by Beebe, Cohen, and Lachmann is the equivalent of finding a map that illustrates the actual routes--the moment-by-moment forms of action--that lead not only to the complex land of attachment, but to the richer and more complex world of relationships and how they are organized. Using sequences of illustrations of stunning clarity they train your eye to see relational effects of infant looking away, maternal emotional disconnection, the difficulty mothers have in tolerating infant distress, the all-powerful canonical chase and dodge sequence, and an elaboration and extension of my match, mismatch and repair model--from its origins in normal development to their key formulation about how reparation failure distorts relationships. This book is for the researcher studying infants and children and their relationships. It is for the clinician who works with children and parents, couples and adults, and every clinician who wants to see the therapeutic relationship more clearly. To engage with this book is to come to see people and relationships in new and revealing ways.".
