Bowlby’s Dream Comes Full Circle

The Application of Attachment Theory to Risk and Psychopathology

  • Chapter
Advances in Clinical Child Psychology

Part of the book series: Advances in Clinical Child Psychology ((ACCP,volume 17))

Abstract

In formulating his theoretical perspective on the development of human attachment relationships, Bowlby incorporated knowledge from a variety of disciplines, viewpoints, and research paradigms (Ainsworth & Bowlby, 1991; Bretherton, 1992). Psychoanalysis, object relations theory, Sullivanian interpersonal psychiatry, social, experimental and developmental psychology, evolutionary theory, and ethology all exerted major impacts on Bowlby’s hypotheses regarding the origins, course, and sequelae of secure and insecure attachment relationships (Ainsworth, 1967, 1969; Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978; Bowlby, 1969/1982, 1973, 1980; Bretherton, 1987, 1991).
