A. If you're confused you should contact your teacher in order to help you. Bowlby's theory is basically just based upon the theory of evolution, he suggested that most of the ways we learn are innate and the ways we form attachments are also innate (in-built). The types of attachment were classified by Ainsworth, they were as follows and were measured using the 'Strange Situation'. Type A is insecure avoidant, type B is securely attached, Type C is Avoidant Please look at the the links below for an elaboration on what I've said, it will help you - you should contact your teacher however in order to get the facts and what you really need to know.

A. With attachment in general, a good thing is it can show someone they can be caring and giving to another person but the bad or flip side is that they can be too dependent on someone . If something happened to who they got attached to or relied on they'd be feeling lost without. I had an aunt that didn't care about living it seemed when her hb had died.Before then she was content and happy to be with him. An example is even if a child spent most of their time with a family pet. That pet could be good and sweet company that they really like. Then the pet dies and the child is devastated and withdraws. Prior to the death the child could find fun and enjoy having that pet around. It's a catch 22 situation. Lonelier or empty feeling without but… [cont.]

What are the consequences of attachment theory?

A. You can start seeing what information is available by looking up attachment theory on Google Scholar: I also looked up attachment theory implications, and got a more refined list: You'll only be able to access the abstracts of the articles without a subscription, but you should be able to get the full text through your school library. Librarians are a wonderful resource - get to know yours, and you won't regret it.

How much validity do you give Attachment Theory?
Q. John Bowlby's Attachment Theory presents 4 attachment patterns that all humans can be categorized into. The 4 being: 1. Secure - a person who recieved sufficient love and care from the persons caregivers in childhood. The person trusts other people, and form relationships easy. 2. Avoidant - a person whose caregivers discouraged crying(and/or ignored the child's needs) and encouraged independence in childhood. The person doesn't trust other people, and doesnt form relationships easy. Often likes to be alone. 3. Ambivalent -a person whose caregivers showed inconsistencies between appropriate and neglectful responses in childhood. The person tends to feel insecure, often wants to be around other people. Does often not like to be alone. 4.… [cont.]

A. In my opinion, yes, I absolutely agree. There is no reason you cannot change your attachment pattern in adulthood with a little hard work and willingness to change. I think I'm a bit of the Disorganized and Avoidant types. I went to therapy for years, attended Codependents Anonymous and Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings, and learned a lot about attachment disorders. I think what's missing from Bowlby's theory is a description of intensity and combinations of types. If you were type 4 in an extreme enough way, you might qualify as a Borderline Personality. It could also qualify as Codependence, but then so could type 3. I guess it seems like these are taken with no particular context in mind, so it doesn't quite fit into the grander… [cont.]

A. attachment theory is important because they form their trust based on that way. if they are convinced that their caretakers are able to take care of them, they'll put trust and somehow will become more attached to the caretaker.

According to the Attachment-Theory...what happens if the main caregiver is permanently removed?
Q. If the main caregiver is removed from a child as a toddler (permanently) what happens?
Asked by fslcaptain737 - Thu Jun 21 06:14:39 2007 - Psychology - 2 Answers - Comments
A. It really depends upon the caregiver-child relationship. According to Ainsworth, there are several attachment styles that may affect how a child reacts if a caregiver is permanently removed. In situations in which a caregiver returns, a secure child will be initially upset when the caregiver leaves, but is easily soothed when they return. So, if a caregiver is permanently removed, you would assume that they would be initially upset, but they may be able to be soothed by another caregiver. In non-permanent removal, an anxious-resistant child will be highly distressed when the caregiver leaves and difficult to soothe upon the caregivers returns. In cases of permanent removal, this child will have a strong negative reaction to the separation… [cont.]

A. It was post WWII and the attachment theory is that babies suffer emotionally if they are separated from their mothers. So mothers need to be with their babies and raise them in order to avoid this. Also, the men were coming back from the war and women had been working in the factories, it was a good way to get them back in the home so that the men could have their jobs back.
