The Earliest Relationship: Parents, Infants, And The Drama Of Early Attachment Paperback – August 15, 1991

I think this book is fantastic. It is an easy read and the kind of book I could not put down. Some people have said in their reviews they think it is a bit out dated, but from a psychological perspective the theories and ideas put forth in the book are classic and still used today. I think it is a great book for students, but I am not so sure parents would find it helpful. The book is written from more of a clinical perspective that parents may not find very helpful and may even take offense or not fully understand certain things discussed in the book.

Thoughtful, insightful and knowledgeable!

Really good book and easy to read.

Wonderful to find this earlier book by brazelton on mother infant relationships. Really adds to your attachment library if you're studying this area

This was a book I needed for school. I was very happy with the quality of the used book purchased. It was in almost new condition with a few underlined sections in the first 2 chapters. The price was right, 1/3 of new in the school bookstore and I received by mail in two days. I would definitely purchase school books again this way.

This is a worthwhile book written in a readable style by an important expert (pediatrician and researcher) in the field of child development.

This book is not for the faint of heart. There is some very deep psychology in it. It is a mentally heavy read, but I appreciate the infomation that it contains.

A profound book for any thoughtful parent's approach to their relationship with their child, and for the learning about one's own childhood that inevitably follows becoming a parent.
