sadness due to separation are all part of attachment. Many psychologists talked about attachment. But the strongest theory in the study of parent and child relationships is the attachment theory which was first mastered by John Bowlby and later developed by Mary Ainsworth. Bowlby stated that an attachment relationship has survival value because it ensures that the infant will receive nurturance. The relationship is built by repetitive behavior patterns that the child acquires from his parents like

Attachment Theory: A Framework for Behavioral Intervention John Bowlby’s (1907-1990) pioneering work on Attachment Theory (AT) uncovered many underlying connections between the primary caregiver and an infant, connections which were necessary for the child’s survival. Attachment is defined as the close emotional bond between two people and AT generally concentrates on early bonds that are formed in a person’s development as well as the effects that these bonds have on later socio-emotional-behavioral

I call these protective factors, and would like to explore what makes

arry Harlow (1905-1981). The work of Harry Harlow influenced that of Bowlby. His research showed that emotional care was very important in order for babies to form strong attachments. Prior to this, the Behaviourist model which suggested that babies and children repeat an action when something is offered that they want (e.g. food) was dominant. Harlow, however, used an experiment with monkeys in 1958 to show that babies need comfort. He used monkeys as they have similar attachment needs to humans

Bowlby’s work as a psychiatrist in a Child Guidance Clinic in London caused him to consider the significance of the child’s relationship with their mother in terms of their cognitive, emotional and social development. Specifically, it contributed to enthralling his interests surrounding the link between early infant separations with the mother and later maladjustment, leading Bowlby to formulate the Theory of Attachment. Bowlby argues that this attachment
