Carol George, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at Mills College, Oakland, CA. Dr. George received her doctorate in developmental psychology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984. Trained in attachment theory by Dr. Mary Main, Dr. George developed the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI, 1984, 1985, 1996) with Drs. Main and Kaplan. Before working with Dr. West on the AAP, Dr. George developed with Dr. Judith Solomon two other well validated attachment-based representational assessments, including the Attachment Doll Play Assessment (for children ages 4-12 yrs.) and the Caregiving Interview (for parents of children prenatal-12 years). The development and validation of these assessments made important contributions to the development of the AAP. Dr. George has authored numerous research articles and book chapters on adult and child attachment and caregiving. She is Assistant Editor and on the editorial board of Attachment and Human Development. She co-edited with Dr. Solomon the books, Attachment Disorganization (1999) and Disorganized Attachment and Caregiving (2011), the only comprehensive books in the attachment field on this attachment dimension.
