What are the main tenants of attachment theory?

What will be an ideal response?


Desire to attach is inborn across cultures; early attachment relationships impact neurological development; empathically attuned caregiving relationships lay the foundation for moving from interpersonal (caregiver) regulation of emotion to intra-personal (self) regulation of emotion; there are critical periods of attachment; empathically attuned attachment relationships provide a secure base for a person to explore the world, experience new things, grow and develop; a predictable sequence of protest, despair, and detachment follow separation from the attachment figure; attachment relationships serve as internal working models for new relationships; attachment may change based on the caregiver-child relationship; behavior is adaptive to context and based on experience with previous attachment relationships; and during stressful times, people who have not developed sufficiently secure attachments have not developed a method for coping with dysregulated emotions without relying on other methods.
