One of the most influential forces in child psychiatry and
psychology, Dr. Bowlby challenged basic tenets of psychoanalysis
and pioneered methods of investigating the emotional life of
children. -- The New York Times book, to be a successful parent
means a lot of very hard work. Giving time and attention to
children means sacrificing other interests and activities. For many
people today these are unwelcome truths. Yet a healthy parent-child
bond is not only vital for well-being, but an essential part of
what it means to be human. Attachment theory teaches that there are
three main attachment patterns - secure, avoidant or ambivalent,
and these behaviours continue into adulthood. Secure children are
confident, using a parent as a 'secure base' while they explore the
world. Bowlby's work showed that the early interactions between
infant and caregiver have a profound impact on an infant's social,
emotional, and intellectual growth. Controversial yet powerfully
influential to this day, this classic collection of Bowlby's
lectures offers important guidelines for child rearing based on the
crucial role of early relationships. theory, he identified early
abuse and neglect as key factors in adult psychological problems.
