...Attachment Paper Maria Salsberry PSY/205 June 1, 2015 Tanya Semcesen Attachment Paper According McLeod (2009) Mary Ainsworth describes, “ as an affectional tie that one person or animal forms between himself and another specific one, a tie that binds them together in space and endures over time”. John Bowlby suggests that there is a direct correlation between the emotional and cognitive development in children and the relationship with their mother. Bowlby further believes the child’s inability to adjust relates to the early separation form he/she’s mother (McLeod, 2009). Developing secure attachment in a child starts the day they are born and continues to develop through the toddler years. Behaviors in Children Securely Attached From 0-2 months is the pre-attachment period and the behaviors are the cries, sucking, and babbling needed to achieve their mother’s attention. 2-6 months attachment starts to develop as he/she recognizes known figures they begin to cling, grasp, and vocalize their preference of their mother. 6 -11 months the toddler clearly knows who their caregiver is and begins to uncomfortable when strangers are around or when caregiver leaves the room. Children 11-18 months are relaxed and secure when their parent or caregiver is around and become upset and anxious when they leave. Upon their parents return they will seek comfort from their caregiver when contact is initiated with positive behavior (Positive-Parenting-Ally Practical Advice & Deep...

...Emotionally focused therapy is primarily based on attachment theory and, is influenced by humanists’ approach and general systems theory (Ruzgyte & Spinks, 2011). Since everyone is unique in terms of experience, expectation, and emotion, in couple’s relationship the combination of the two results in a unique combination of emotions, behaviors and outcomes (Johnson & Whiffin, 2003). According to the attachment theory, a secure attachment fosters secure environment in which individuals can explore and experience acceptance to new knowledge and information, thus by creating a secure sense of self (Mikulincer, 1997). According to Johnson (2012), emotions play an important role in influencing attachment behaviors. Thus, in a secure relationship, couples can better deal with conflict and be positive. Attachment theory has proven success in couple’s therapy, thereby proving even healthy adult individuals in a relationship depend on each other (Nichols & Schwartz, 1984). Therefore, in a...

...Attachment Parenting: Following Your Instinct Often times, parents describe the feeling of holding their bundle of joy for the very first time as love at first sight. Why is that? Research has shown that this indescribable surge of emotions between parents and their offspring can be attributed to the natural hormone, oxytocin; ultimately triggering nurturing feelings and behaviors for both mom, dad and baby (Pedersen). Often times these natural feelings get pushed aside the moment mother and baby are discharged from the hospital. Unfortunately, this encouraged disconnect has been weaved into cultural fabric, like establishing a routine in baby's life from day one and suggesting unrealistic expectations about infant sleep capabilities, including sleep-training and controlled-crying methodologies. However, some parents choose to embrace their natural...

...In my developmental psychology class (and the previous Freud article) we discussed his psycho sexual stage and how the certain stages and fixatins can predict behvaiors and the level of ego the patient is developing for people as they grow older. Horney’s attachment theory goes along the same path just with different causes of the behaviors. In Smith’s (2007) article about Horney, she mentions Horney’s (1936) idea of the ideal self. I think her idea of the self concept is mostly consistent with McAdam‘s (2010) three layers of the roles people play throughout a life time. In McAdams’s levels he describes dispositional trait level to be the people being actors and fidnign themselves, fidning their reason or discovering what they want to do as they get older. This stage correlates with Horney’s (1936) level of real self because they fidn out who they really are and start to develop a lifestyle that fits their own wants and needs. The second layer of McAdams model, characteristics adaptations correlates...

...in a well written book happens from word to word, sentence to sentence, paragraph to paragraph, chapter to chapter. But usually the turning from page to page is incidental, and in a long book a bother. It doesn't matter if something happens on page 9 or 289. While reading a book, I sometimes wish I didn’t have to hold it up, it gets so heavy, and I fantasize a sea of type automatically unrolling, one word in focus at a time, at just the right speed, on a moving screen or scroll. A scroll, or long paper with accordion pleats or separate sheets in a portfolio are all books of a sort. But a book, as we refer to it today, has distinct physical properties, just as painting, sculpture, film, and other art forms have their distinct physical properties A book is a series of pages held together at one edge, and these pages can be moved on their hinges like a swinging door. They could also be half-doors, doors with windows, double doors, like fold-outs, doors with attachments, pop-ups, textures or moving parts, and shaped doors. Of course if a door has something completely different behind it, it is much more exciting. The element of delight and surprise is helped by the physical power we feel in our own hands when we move that page or door to reveal a change in everything that has gone before, in time, place, or character. A thrilling picture book not only makes beautiful single images or sequential images, but also allows us to become aware of a book's unique physical...

...Attachment Paper Life Span Human Development Lela Lambe 10/25/15 Kristin Scott-Grove Introduction: Attachment is a strong, affectionate bond we have with our mother. Also, with special people in our lives during a lifetime. Attachment leads us to experience pleasure when we interact with time. Besides, to be comforted by nearness in times of stress. Lasting emotional connection that connects people to another within space and time. Attachment is a strong emotional and social bond of trust between the child and parents. That is very important for social and emotional development.

...| | Introduction Mr. Smith is a young man attempting to change his life for the better. The purpose of this paper is to inform, applying critical thinking, and communicate professional judgment about youths in a rural setting. The youths of YouthBuild Mississippi Delta face many obstacles in everyday life and strive to become better citizens. Client System Andra Smith is a 23 years old, African American. He is the youngest of 5 children raised in a single parent home in rural Mississippi. His father was never around to guide him into becoming a man and his other siblings did not complete high school either. The value system is living and surviving from day to day. The mother is a cook at the local restaurant and makes just a little more than minimum wage. She is a functioning alcoholic and I believe that this disease runs in the family. The Smith family never really attended church services other than funerals or weddings. They reside in the white project and this is low income housing. The overall physical health of the family is pretty good, no high blood pressure or diabetes. They do not have a regular physician but, no complaints of health problems. The family members have no diagnosis of any mental problems at this time. The first human behavior theory I chose was family systems theory because this family is dysfunctional...

...UNRESOLVED GRIEF AND CONTINUING BONDS: AN ATTACHMENT PERSPECTIVE Much of the contemporary bereavement literature on the continuing bond to the deceased (CB) has emphasized its adaptiveness and given limited attention to when it may be maladaptive. The attachment literature on disorganized– unresolved attachment classification in relation to loss, or ‘‘unresolved loss,’’ is informative in identifying CB expressions that are indicative of failure to integrate the death of a loved one. In this article, an important linkage is identified between a prominent indicator of unresolved loss that involves a lapse in the monitoring of reasoning implying disbelief that the person is dead and the clinical writings of J. Bowlby (1980) and V. D. Volkan (1981) on maladaptive variants of CB expression. The aim is to highlight the value of the attachment literature on unresolved loss in clarifying the conditions under which CB is likely to be maladaptive. There is increasing agreement among bereavement theorists and practitioners that an ongoing attachment to the deceased can be an integral part of successful adaptation to bereavement (Klass, Silverman, & Nickman, 1996). This position, commonly known as the ‘‘continuing bonds’’ perspective, is counter to that presented by Freud (1917=1957) in his classic work ‘‘Mourning and Melancholia,’’ in which he proposed that successful adaptation to loss required the bereaved to detach his or her psychic investment in the deceased...
