KembaraXtra-Psychology - attachment theory
Attachment theory, proposed in 1951 by John Bowlby (1907–90), argues that infants have an inborn biological need for close contact with the mother or primary caregiver, with a normal bond typically forming within the first six months through caregiver responsiveness. Bowlby emphasized that maternal deprivation during this critical period can harm psychological development, and the theory is linked with ideas such as anaclitic depression, hospitalism, separation anxiety, and love, and is compared with imprinting.
