The theory of reactions applied to Coulomb breakup of loosely‐bound projectiles is reviewed. Both the Continuum Discretized Coupled Channel (CDCC) and time‐dependent models are described. Recent results about sensitivity of breakup calculations to the projectile wave function are reviewed. Analyses of the extraction of radiative‐capture cross section from Coulomb breakup measurements are presented. Current developments in breakup theory are also mentioned.
