Author:E J M Bowlby
Separation, the second volume of Attachment and Loss, continues John Bowlby's influential work on the importance of the parental relationship to mental health.
Here he considers separation and the anxiety that accompanies it: the fear of imminent or anticipated separation, the fear induced by parental threats of separation, and the inversion of the parent-child relationship.
Dr Bowlby re-examines the situations that cause us to feel fear and compares them with evidence from animals. He concludes that fear is initially aroused by certain elemental situations - sudden movement, darkness or separation - which, although intrinsically harmless, are indicative of an increased risk of danger.
Attachment and Loss is a deeply important series of works that continue to influence the landscape of psychoanalysis and psychology, and its second volume, Separation, provides a unique exploration of anxiety in the parent-child relationship.
Meticulous and energetic, critical where necessary, never coy, with some brilliant swerves of presentation and a delicious line in low-key humour. Sex, of course, is endlessly gripping but Gathorne-Hardy gives a sense of lifting the subject out of the mean and shabby into a wonderful, humane light, paralleling precisely what Kinsey himself did

Kinsey is one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the twentieth century, a flawed visionary whose brave and amusing experiences are a testament to the rich complexity of human sexuality... With grace and wit Gathorne-Hardy has given us the full measure of the man
—— Michael Shelden , Daily TelegraphAt exactly the right moment, Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy has produced a serious study of Kinsey, of the man and the work... This is the book we need to cap Kinsey's work of liberation at his century's end
