Bowlby’s attachment theory (1944) According to John Bowlby (1907-1990), attachment is the emotional bond between two people. It is determined by the early mother-child relationship. Attachments with different person were placed in a hierarchy where mother is at top. This attachment is an innate behaviour right from birth which emerges through cry and caregivers reaction to it. Attachment is determined by love and care rather than food as proposed by Freud through drive reduction theory (McLeod, 2007)
The Attachment theory is a psychological theory that focuses on the general concept of relationships between human beings. The theory, which was developed by John Bowlby, looked to show the importance of infant needs with regard to developing a relationship with a primary caregiver for social and emotional development. The concept focused on a child’s attachment style with a caregiver, the child’s development throughout childhood, and how it influenced later interactions in society. The patterns
As for Mahler theory, there are: • Normal Autistic Phase: Birth to 1 Month • Normal Symbiotic Phase: 1 to 5 Months • Sub-phase One: Differentiation - 5 to 10 Months • Sub-phase Two: Practicing - 10 to 16 Months • Sub-phase Three: Rapprochement - 16 to 24 Months • Sub-phase Four: Consolidation and Object Constancy - 24 to 36 Months Mahler broke down the stages from the birth to 10 months in three phases as Bowlby only has 2 phases. In Mahler theory, the first phase Birth to 1 month is a Normal Autistic
Attachment Theory in the Therapeutic Alliance ....the therapist role is analogous to that of a mother who provides her son a secure base from which to explore the world (Bowlby, 1988). I was always intrigued by the fact that psychotherapy inevitably involves a kind of interaction between two (or more) people who bring with them their own baggage to the therapy. The client is the one who is being ‘helped’ in and from the process of therapy but self growth and personal development is bidirectional
prevent adults from getting close to them. Relationship theories such as Imago and Pair therapy state that the first step in rebuilding a wounded individual is to establish a sense of trust and safety in which that individual can begin to abandon old behavior patterns. Once these patterns are released, the individual is able to heal old wounds and begin to grow in a healthier way. Studies show that one caring individual can make a significant difference in the life of a wounded child (Cassidy & Shaver,
secure base from which to explore the environment and how they would react to brief separations and reunions. Based on how infants responded in this experiment, Ainsworth (1978) and her colleagues defined three attachment styles: secure, insecure avoidant and insecure resistant/ambivalent attachment. Can even take this out? Securely attached infants explored the environment in the mother’s presence and used her as a secure base, but their exploratory behaviour diminished when the mother left the room.

Therefore, parental attitudes towards children, which are connected to attachment theory, might be a very important aspect in the development of perfectionist characteristics of the child. The basic principle of the theory is the first relationships with Family Preparing prototypes of social relationships in old age (Bartholomew,1990).
The theory of Gottredson and Hirschi (1990) is the most popular theory in explaining crime. It originated from pure classical theory that people seek to enhance their own pleasure in committing criminal acts without special predisposition. As a whole, the theory is then called today as control theories which emphasize the prevention of crime through consequences painful to the individual in respect to their location and sanctions systems. The theory of Gottfredson and Hirschi became popular because
