"In the last part of [Bowlby's] life[...] he abandoned his original insistence on the irreversible consequences of maternal separation[...] his interest had shifted to the problems of adults with dysfunctional working models of attachment. Unfortunately, it is his original crude theory that has stuck in the public mind."
