Bowlby even goes as far as to suggest that the affected child could possibly grow into an affectionless psychopath lacking and social conscience.

Bowlby proposed that over the years a behaviour had been produced that is essential to the survival chances of infants. Humans are born helpless and totally dependent on the actions of a caregiver for food‚ warmth‚ shelter and safety for their well being and survival.

in stages is the theory of John Bowlby. Bowlby suggested that attachment progressed into 4 stages. One stage 1 pre-attachment (birth to 6 weeks)‚ infants have not develop attachments. A reason why this happens according to Bowlby is because infants at this age have not yet developed their visual discrimination; essential for identifying their primary caregivers. Babies at this stage do not mind being left with other unfamiliar adults‚ (Davis & Palladino‚ 2004; Bowlby‚ 1988).On stage 2‚ principles
