This chapter considers the work of Alan Sroufe, Byron Egeland, and the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation. It presents the first sustained commentary on Sroufe’s ideas about emotion, attachment, and development. Headline concepts like ‘felt security’ were influential for subsequent attachment theory. However, other ideas like affects as social currency, and intrusive intimacy, are still less well known. The chapter examines the antecedents and sequelae of attachment in the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation. The legacy of Sroufe and Egeland is discussed for two former students who have subsequently returned to take leadership roles at Minnesota: Dante Cicchetti and Glenn Roisman. The chapter also discusses ways in which Sroufe and Egeland’s theoretical commitment to holism has contributed to both strengths and limitations in their work. |
