Bridging the fields of culture and attachment, this book illuminates
the relationship between them in two ways: It examines attachment
from the perspective of culture, and then evaluates two different
cultures (Anglo and Puerto Rican) from the vantage point of mothers'
perceptions of attachment behavior. In so doing, the volume
delineates coherent conceptual frameworks that can be used to guide
research and to help interpret the results of cross-cultural
attachment studies. Designed to sharpen our understanding of the ways
in which attachment is both universal and culturally shaped, this
volume will enhance the work of scholars investigating basic
processes of culture and human development, mental health
professionals searching for alternative heuristic frameworks, and
professionals involved in formulating policy regarding the social and
emotional health of children. It also provides valuable information
about the rapidly growing, yet understudied, Puerto Rican culture.
