‘Strange Situation is a beautiful exploration of what makes us human ― our relationships. By artfully weaving together her own experiences as a mother, daughter, and wife with the science of attachment and the fascinating life history of one of its founders, Mary Ainsworth, Saltman helps us to see ourselves ― and our relationships with those we love ― in an entirely new way.’

– Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

‘This is a unique and thoughtful book ― part memoir, part social science, part biography of Ainsworth and part self-help. Readers who are battling their own demons as parents may feel grateful for Ms. Saltman’s unsparing account of herself.’

– The Wall Street Journal

我们如何与我们的孩子建立强烈的依恋关系，为什么这很重要?在这本亲密而严谨的书中，一位母亲在探索自己与女儿和母亲的关系时，调查了经常被误解的依恋理论。

Bethany Saltman生下女儿Azalea后，她开始觉得自己做母亲的经历有点不对劲。她爱她的女儿，但经常生气，缺乏耐心，甚至不友善。她担心自己的童年时代已经让她无法好好相处。因此，她开始了一段旅程，通过依恋科学来更好地了解自己、女儿以及他们之间的关系。

Saltman对依恋理论进行了广泛的研究，这是发展心理学的一个领域，它从进化的角度回答了为什么父母和孩子之间存在爱的问题。她把注意力集中在一个著名的实验室程序“奇怪的情况”的数据上，她发现爱是坚不可摧的。我们每一个人——包括她——都是天生的。

在这本深入研究和大量个人描述的书中，Saltman大胆地要求科学回答爱，给读者提供工具来解释和理解他们自己与他人的联系，并拥有更好、更健康的关系，无论他们的处境如何。

After Bethany Saltman gave birth to her daughter, Azalea, she began to feel that there was something ‘off’ about her experience of motherhood. She loved her daughter, but would often be angry, short on patience, even unkind. She worried that her own childhood had left her unable to properly bond. So she went on a journey to better understand herself, her daughter, and their relationship through the science of attachment.

Saltman launched a broad inquiry into attachment theory, a field of developmental psychology that answers the question of why ― from an evolutionary point of view ― love exists between parents and children. Focusing on the data from a famous laboratory procedure, the ‘Strange Situation’, she discovered that love is unbreakable. Each and every one of us ― including her ― is built for it.

In this deeply researched and enormously personal account, Saltman boldly asks science to answer to love, giving readers the tools with which to interpret and understand their own connections with others, and to have better, healthier relationships, whatever their situation.

Bethany Saltman lives and writes in the Catskills of New York with her husband, daughter, and poodle. This is her first book.
