INFANTS AND
MOTHERS WERE
BIOLOGICALLY
PROGRAMMED TO
FORM AN
ATTACHMENT
WITH EACH
OTHER.
OUR SUCCEEDING
RELATIONSHIPS IN THE
FUTURE ARE ALL SHAPED TO
A LARGE EXTENT BY OUR
ATTACHMENT TO OUR
PARENTS.
JOHN BOWLBY
Three Attachment styles:
1. Secure Attachment
2. Avoidant Attachment
3. Anxious- Ambivalent Attachment
Secure Attachment- is when the
primary caregiver is most of the
time present and available.
Chances are, the child will grow
up to have more secure
relationships.
Avoidant Attachment- is when
the primary caregiver is cold and
detached, and unresponsive to
the child’s needs.
Chances are, the child will grow
up avoiding meaningful
relationship.
Anxious- ambivalent attachment- is
when the primary caregiver is not
consistent in terms of presence and in
meeting the child’s emotional needs.
Chances are, the child will grow up
having hesitancy and commitment
when entering into meaningful
relationship.
