Course Description

Description
Attachment Theory Course

If ANY baby fails to develop the capacity for attachment at the critical stage then there is no foundation from which to transfer or attach directly to others later in life and this can be an issue which stays with that person for the rest of their life.

Human behavioural problems and poor mental health  are directly linked to early babyhood similar to Freud.

All children come into the world genetically pre-programmed biologically to actually form attachments with others ‘naturally’ because this will help in survival which contributes to the development of the human race.

Theory of attachment was influenced by an interest in ecological theory and the study of imprinting.

Certain behaviours related to attachments are instinctive and will be set off by certain conditions that appear to threaten the success of closeness and proximity such as fears, insecurities and separation.

For example the fear of strangers can be representative of an essential survival mechanism built into the human race through evolution or by nature itself.

Babies are born with a tendency to demonstrate certain innate behaviours which will ensure close proximity and contact for survival with the actual mother or the figure of attachment through eye contact, smiling, and crying and these are called species-specific behaviours.

Children and mothers have instinctively evolved an actual biological need to stay in close proximity with each other and produce the same shared functional needs with each other whereby the child demonstrates on the failures which directly connect with the feelings and emotions of the mother and in turn the mother demonstrates certain behaviours which communicate and connect with the baby without the actual use of language which are mostly threw close proximity, physical contact and the attachment they both have for each other.

Take a baby away from its mother literally by force and a mother will instinctively become a fighting machine in order to regain closure at separation.

The bottom line is that the baby will form only one original attachment with the attachment figure, the mother acts as a secure base for exploring the outside world for the rest of their child’s life.

This original first attachment relationship is literally acting has a prototype or programming for all future attachments and relationships including social interaction with others. Any disruption in this early bond will produce lifelong, critical and severe consequences for that person.

This diploma course is ideally suited to all therapists who are interested in learning more about the theory of attachment.

Anyone is welcome to enrol onto this course with or without any background training and qualifications.

This course is completely open to beginners or anyone interested in the theory of attachment.

All mothers wishing to learn about their child and how to emotionally and psychologically set them up for the rest of their life based on the theory of attachment will find this a fascinating accompaniment to motherhood, infant protection and development.

Ideally suited to students in any psychology related subjects who are undertaking psychology degrees.
