Secure Base
£13.71
One of the most influential forces in child psychiatry & psychology Dr. Bowlby challenged basic tenets of psychoanalysis & pioneered methods of investigating the emotional life of children.
- The New York Times". As Bowlby himself points out in his introduction to this seminal childcare book to be a successful parent means a lot of very hard work. Giving time & attention to children means sacrificing other interests & 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 & these behaviours continue into adulthood. Secure children are confident using a parent as a secure base while they explore the world. Bowlbys work showed that the early interactions between infant & caregiver have a profound impact on an infants social emotional & intellectual growth. Controversial yet powerfully influential to this day this classic collection of Bowlbys lectures offers important guidelines for child rearing based on the crucial role of early relationships."
