to explain further on? I chose Attachment theory because it focuses on the relationships and bonds between people‚ particularly long-term relationships including those between a parent and child and romantic partners. British psychologist John Bowlby was the first attachment theorist who was interested in defining attachment as a close emotional bond that children experience when separated from their primary caregivers typically‚ the mother.

and does not provide the child a secure base (Passer & Smith 2013‚ p. 432). Thirdly‚ an ambivalent/resistant attachment is when a child displays extreme distress when separated from the primary caregiver‚ however the child also seeks and rejects contact (Passer & Smith 2013‚ p. 432). This is due the caregiver not encouraging their child to explore‚ so the child remains emotionally dependent‚ but reluctant to explore. Lastly‚ an insecure/disorganised attachment is seen through the child having no

Before Bowlby and Ainsworth came forth with attachment theory‚ the role parental attentiveness played in the cognitive and psychological development of the child was widely understated. Although similar theorists such as Piaget‚ Erickson‚ Freud‚ Kohlberg and Braufenbreener all vied for secured interactions between mothers and infants‚ their comments appeared to be understated in light of the developmental theories (Crain‚ 2010). As such‚ the theory positions itself as an incredible strength. When

Attachment theory describes the common human need to cultivate long-lasting affectional bonds with primary caretakers. According to Corsini and Wedding (2014)‚ John Bowlby proposed that humans have an innate tendency to make strong affectional bonds and that separation or threat of separation of these bonds causes emotional distress‚ sadness‚ and in some cases more severe depression. A secure attachment comes from what the caretaker provides such as communication‚ security and availability. However

Evaluating Bowlby’s Theory of Attachment Bowlby (1969) proposed that millions of years of evolution had produced a behaviour that is essential to the survival chances of human infants. He believed that human babies are born helpless and totally independent on the primary caregiver producing the baby with food‚ warmth‚ shelter‚ for their well-being and survival – this helplessness and total independence on the primary caregiver acts as a social releaser making the caregiver have a caregiving reaction

I am choosing to write about the Attachment Theory‚ because the concepts of this theory had captured my attention during class. The Attachment Theory was discovered by John Bowlby‚ which he had examined and analyzed the relationships between a child and their caregiver.
