bowlby attachment styles

• John Bowlby’s Attachment and loss (Trilogy): 1 Attachment; 2 Separation Anxiety and Anger; 3 Loss Sadness and Depression.
• The work of Bowlby and Ainsworth ¹ broadly led to three types of attachment:
  • secure attachment: style occurs when the child has a consistent confidence that the attachment figure (traditionally, this is the mother) will be there to meet their needs, a sense of security for the child who is borne into patterns of connectedness and communication throughout his or her life, finds the world to be a safe place, expects that interactions will be entered into with positive intent, and believes in the possibility of good outcomes
  • insecure-ambivalent attachment: style is rooted in the child’s experience of the attachment figure being consistently inconsistent in their availability for connectedness and communication, feeling ambivalent about attachment and often needy, dependent, and conflicted, likely to be overly cautious and withholding of trust with most in his or her life
  • insecure-avoidant attachment: style is the result of the child experiencing an attachment figure who is unavailable and potentially rejecting and insensitive to the child, avoiding of connectedness and usually creates degrees of independence from the attachment figure, the person this child becomes may keep others at a distance and be inclined to maintain an overly independent position in interactions and relationships

• years later, Main and Solomon (1986) discovered yet another type: Disorganized and Disoriented Attachment
