The father of attachment theory is a man called John Bowlby who first brought this whole concept into the public eye in the 1960s. From my own Google search-
“Edward John Mostyn Bowlby CBE, MA, BChir, MD, MRCP, FRCP, FRCPsych, Hon ScD was a British psychologist, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst, notable for his interest in child development and for his pioneering work in attachment theory”. This video is not actually of John himself, but rather a latter-day fellow giving us a succinct glimpse into this fascinating subject.
I believe Attachment Theory underlies pretty much everything we do as adult human beings. The strength of our attachment to our primary caregivers determines so much of how we interact with others throughout the rest of our lives. If this video prompts deeper curiosity as to where you stand from the perspective of your own attachment, then you are welcome to call me to discuss it further or simply type ‘Attachment Theory’ into Google where you will find many reams of pages to explore.
