ABSTRACT
In commemorating Robbie Duschinsky’s publication of Cornerstones of Attachment Research, I have decided that I could best serve this special issue by revisiting the founder of attachment theory, John Bowlby, and portraying him as a man above and beyond the founder of attachment theory based on my personal and intellectual relationship with him. The goal is to provide the reader, even those who were fortunate enough to have met him, an opportunity to reminisce or visualize Bowlby as husband, friend, mentor, and scholar. Thus, leaving the intellectual contributions to other scholars in this issue, this paper takes, although brief, the form of an emotional and personal memoir of John Bowlby.
