• The 50s and 60s saw the advent of Murray Bowen's groundbreaking work on differentiation.
• The 1970s brought us further with Margaret Mahler's work on separation/individuation and the psychological birth of the human infant.
• Today, clinicians and researchers alike attempt to validate the developmental theories of Bowlby, Bowen, and Mahler through the modern lens of neuroscience.
• So what is the current clinical usefulness of these developmental models against the backdrop of developmental neuroscience?
