"This is a wonderful, insightful, and beautifully written book! It takes attachment theory in new directions and suggests valuable ideas for research on parent-child and couple relationships. It sheds a warm light on the positive side of emotional life and loving relationships." - Phillip R. Shaver, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, UC Davis; coeditor, Handbook of Attachment: Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications; Past President, International Association for Relationship Research "Judith Nelson, a skilled clinician and accomplished attachment researcher, has written a creative, scholarly and clinically relevant magnum opus on laughter. On all levels, this book is a joy to read." - Allan N. Schore, PhD, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine "Judith Kay Nelson's exciting treatment of laughter as a crucially human attachment transaction opens up broad new avenues for clinical analysis and research inquiry. She has with great sensitivity woven together wisdom from neuroscience to ethology, from psychology to literature, subtly weaving light notes of humor amongst deep considerations of the human condition. Therapists and researchers alike will thank Nelson for her inspiring treatment of laughter." - Catherine Ann Cameron, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Canada
