Bethany Saltman on 'The Strange Situation'

Bethany Saltman on 'The Strange Situation'

Author Bethany Saltman on her 2021 book, The Strange Situation: A Mother’s Journey Into the Science of Attachment. A mix of three things - one part scientific inquiry into attachment theory, one part memoir of Saltman’s own upbringing, and one part expose of what love, connection and attachment really are - this book is likely the most profound piece of scientific and personal narrative on attachment today. *Audio quality is poor but content is exceptional.
