Attachment Theory arises from the guiding principles of realism and the veratist's devotion to long-term, direct observation of subject matter. Additionally, because Attachment Theory originated in the field of child psychoanalysis, this book highlights the detrimental effects of parental obsession and abandonment, industrialism, poverty, alcoholism, religious addiction, and physical, emotional, and sexual abuse on child characters. The subject of \u003ci\u003eMonstrous Kinships\u003c\/i\u003e is timely, as literary critics and theorists as well as creative writers continue to expand their range of inquiry to include the child as primary subject in various treatments of post-colonial and transnational culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jillmarie Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611490502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611490503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Delaware Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Jillmarie Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485661475071,"sku":"9781611490503","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16e500be-016f-4fb8-8d34-31b4eba09d66.jpg?v=1778050718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monstrous-kinships-jillmarie-murphy-9781611490503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
