Foundational work for anxious/avoidant Pairs

This is a fabulous book. Way ahead of its time. Seems to form the pioneering foundation work for all of the anxious and avoidant adult attachment work and books that are current, such as Attached and Us. Offers some great practical and cognitive behavioral tools. As well as a completely new paradigm.
