Back when the Foundation had a focus on Bowlbian attachment theory, the Bowlby Less Traveled (BLT) blog was our main way of disseminating information concerning Bowlby’s theory. We still post new blog articles to BLT but on a less frequent schedule—generally when something that pertains to Bowlby’s theory pops up on the radar screen. If you see a Bowlby related article or book, let us know by using the Contact Us menu item above. Thanks for visiting our BLT legacy site.

New book on Bowlby’s work now available! The Foundation’s president Frederick (Rick) Leonhardt has released his second book entitled A Question of Attachment—Toward A Lossless Society over at Amazon. His book investigates patterns of insecure attachment at the level of society. Pulling from his BLT blog posts, Leonhardt argues that insecure attachment asks the following question: “How do I bring to myself a sense of connection, even intimacy, while at the same time distancing myself from the pain and heartbreak that connection and intimacy inevitably bring?” Leonhardt sees such troubling societal patterns as attachment to screen devices and a desire to become posthuman (e.g., the Singularity and the End Times) as answers to the Question asked by insecure attachment.
