Attachment and Development by Susan Goldberg

Attachment and Development quotes I like:
Page 43 : "Secure adults (termed 'autonomous') value intimate relationships and acknowledge the effects of those relationships."
Page 43 : "Dismissing adults ... usually have little to say about the attachment experiences of their childhood.... Their ability to recount specific incidents is limited....the dismissing adult forces the interviewer to bear the responsibility of the interview by giving short, minimally informative answers."
Page 44: "Preoccupied adults become so entangled in the details of early experiences that they are unable to provide an overview. They are still engaged in angry struggles with their parents over old issues....they often fail to answer the question they were asked....the preoccupied adult forces the interviewer to struggle to maintain the interview on topic."
Page 58 : "Thus secure infants learn that their signals of distress elicit a maternal response that is likely to reduce distress, avoidant infants learn that their distress signals will not enlist maternal assistance, and they develop strategies to comfort or distract themselves, and resistant infants learn that the mother is unpredictable, and they become preoccupied with maintaining her attention."

Quote from a friend

This is just a cute quote from a friend:

We can all use a miracle now and again. But we can save the magic for after the interview.

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis This one was pretty much as expected. Although now in this day and age there are many more temptations and ways to go about developing the vices Screwtapes suggests in his letters (addictions, internet, etc.). I think it would have been a lot more fun with the letters from Wormwood as well, but you do get the brunt of his messages in Screwtape's letters. A relatively quick read, with friendly reminders of vices to avoid.
