⚠️ 12 modules of kb/22_Attachement cite this book. Nothing here re-verifies them.

Identity

⚠️ Two cautions about the file itself, both measured:

1. 27 712 words is very short for a book. It reads as a slim edited volume of conference

papers — the contributor names appear in the running heads. ⛔ Whether the extraction is complete has not been established here. A module relying on a chapter absent from this file would find nothing, and the file gives no way to know what is missing.

1. ⛔ The page furniture is inside the text: strings like

White/Bowlby 07/correx 2/19/07 6:13 PM Page 56 sit in the middle of sentences. Any quotation crossing one must mark the elision […]. This is precisely the defect found in kb/40_HPI/49 (Gagné), and this file is far more exposed to it.

What kind of material this is

Psychoanalytic and theoretical, not empirical. Its arguments are interpretive readings of Freud, Butler, Orbach, Bowlby — and the volume knows it:

Verified quotations

"The moral for us is that we should not be afraid of being wrong." (probed, 1 occurrence)

Verified quotations

"Furthermore, within the psychoanalytic canon, bisexuality is only an original or infantile state,
never an adult one, other than in the unconscious, always something to be resolved."
(probed, 1 occurrence)

⚠️ That sentence is a critique of the canon, not a claim about people. Reused without its critical framing it would state the opposite of what the author intends. ⛔ The single largest misreading risk in this book.

Verified quotations

"There is . . . no such thing as a body, there is only a body in relationship to another body" (probed, 1 occurrence — quoted in the file from Susie Orbach, 2004, p. 28)

⚠️ A quotation inside the book, credited to Orbach. Attributing it to White or Schwartz would be a misattribution.

The one attachment-theoretical statement worth extracting

Verified quotations

"While the child's need to explore and the need for proximity might seem contradictory, they are,
in fact, complementary." (probed, 1 occurrence)

Standard attachment theory, stated compactly. ⚠️ This book is not its source — it restates Bowlby. A module needing this claim should anchor it on Bowlby, not here.

Good for / must not be used for

Good for: the interpretive layer — how a Bowlby-lineage clinical milieu thinks about sexuality; its own critique of the psychoanalytic canon; named positions to attribute correctly.

• ⛔ Any empirical claim. There are none.
• ⛔ The bisexuality sentence taken as a statement about people rather than about a canon.
• ⛔ Attributing Orbach, Butler or Bowlby to the editors.
• ⚠️ Quoting across the file's embedded page furniture without marking […].
• ⚠️ Assuming the extraction is complete — 27 712 words, unverified.
