John Bowlby: Attachment Theory Across Generations

Synopsis: This film focuses on the impact attachment relationships have on adult behaviour and the transmission of attachment patterns to the next generation. It is a complementary film to MARY AINSWORTH: ATTACHMENT AND THE GROWTH OF LOVE, which deals with early experiences of attachment.

The film was shot both in London, where John Bowlby spent his working life, and in New York City. It includes archival footage of Dr Bowlby speaking and newly shot footage of his children and colleagues commenting on his legacy. Compelling sequences from New York City adult psychotherapy sessions and from a 20-year longitudinal study of the emotional development of a British boy document the scope of attachment theory and its applications to clinical practice and to the lives of us all.
