John Bowlby
1907 – 1990 Psychoanalyst Believed that mental health and
behavioural problems could be attributed to early childhood.
Likes to study separation of children, due to his own experiences
Mary Ainsworth -> student of Bowlby. Extended and tested his ideas, and suggested that several attachment styles existed.
Bowlby’s Biography…
AKA Theory of Monotropy Theory derives from Lornez's study of
Imprinting. Earliest bonds formed by children with
caregivers impact their life. Attachment keeps the infant close to mother,
thus improving the child's chances of survival. Children are born biologically pre-programmed
to form attachments with others -> survival
Bowlby’s Attachment Theory…
SAFE HAVEN- When threatened or afraid -> return to the caregiver for soothing
SECURE BASE- Caregiver -> secure and dependable base for child to explore the world
PROXIMITY MAINTENANCE- Child strives to stay near the caregiver -> keeping child safe
SEPARATION DISTRESS-When separated from the caregiver -> upset and distressed
Characteristics of Attachment…
Any separation during the critical stage of development will affect the child in later life.
Separation was the cause of the delinquency or disobedience.
Maternal deprivation hypothesis…
