Absolutely enlightening. However, I have three small issues with this book:

1. It read like a biography at the beginning. Maybe I missed something where he explained it but I was a little confused why it wasn't called "Bowlby: a life" for a while.
2. Freud did not need to be referenced as much as he was. First explanation, groundwork, brief building on that to explain Anna, would have been enough.
3. Every once in a while the author would take detours into his own life and opinions. After so many points about thought being backed up be experiments and data I would have liked to see a) his own data and studies or b) his own opinions combined in one section before the end.

Otherwise a fabulous book, filled with detail and expanding knowledge about human development.… (mehr)
