Building upon his previous work on the ties between parents and children, Bowlby documents children’s distress during separation, and the anxiety that often persists afterward, showing that fear is initially aroused by certain elemental situations―sudden movement, darkness or separation. Blending psychoanalytic theory with empirical observation, he re-examines the situations that cause us to feel fear and compares them with evidence from animals, shedding light on the factors that contribute to anxiety and the susceptibility to fear in adulthood. The second of three volumes in Attachment and Loss , Separation provides a unique exploration of anxiety in the parent-child relationship. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 0465097162 | | Dimensions | 5 x 1.07 x 8 inches | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 9780465097166 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0465097166 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Language | English | | Print Length | 458 pages | | Publication Date | December 21, 1976 | | Publisher | Basic Books | ## Images ![Separation: Anxiety And Anger (Basic Books Classics,) Volume 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kT87MJy3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear and powerful analysis. *by on Reviewed in the United States November 7, 2012* The three books in Bowlby's trilogy on Attachment, Separation and Loss need to be read a whole. Using the studies and case histories of children being separated from their mothers and important others, in a wide range of circumstances from separations of only a few minutes, through separations of several weeks on up to prolonged and permanent separation due to divorce and death, Bowlby outlines a new way of understanding neurosis, psychosis and optimal, healthy functioning.Using the lens of a Darwinian analysis, and the case histories written up by psychoanalysts spanning decades, he compares and contrasts his new theory with that of previous psychological thought, especially the psychoanalytic tradition.I found his analysis penetrating and illuminating. It sets the stage and formulates the hypotheses for further research. Much of that research has now taken place and has borne out Bowlby's theories. Not all of it, of course.Because Bowlby's attachment theory became and continues to be such a foundational analysis for so much that has followed in its wake, from evolutionary psychology to child development to psychotherapy, it is a must read for anyone interested in these and related fields. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A briliant book *by on Reviewed in the United States April 9, 2011* This book is very neat in its specifics about the effects of absence when a mother is not in a child's life and the roles and effects of mother figures as well. Myself dealing with abandonment issues from my mom and my mother figure in my life, this book really assists in identifying the issues caused from the absent parent. Though the book doesn't offer any real advice as to deal with these problems that arise, it identify's the issues and allows you to further your research in progression. The writing style used can get rather complex though, be prepared for that. I agree with everything provided in this book and recommend it to anyone who's interested in either the psychological effects of absence of a parent, or seek to identify it themselves. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Attachment series is a brilliant trilogy. *by on Reviewed in the United States October 3, 2022* It is so detailed - amazing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/8571205-separation-anxiety-and-anger-basic-books-classics-volume-2](https://www.desertcart.at/products/8571205-separation-anxiety-and-anger-basic-books-classics-volume-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
