Course Aims:
The background to attachment theory and the way this enables us to examine the importance of
early relationships for many different domains of development; how the attachment relationship
develops in early childhood, with different patterns of attachment behaviour depending on the
quality of the relationship with the caregiver. This will include new videos demonstrating the
different behaviours of secure, avoidant and ambivalent children in the Strange Situation.
What happens when the attachment relationship becomes a source of stress or fear; and how the
different attachment patterns, or internal working models, are represented in adulthood
(including partner choice). There will be a short film of life in a Russian Baby Home to illustrate
the extremes of disordered attachment.
Early neurological development, including the evolutionary importance of plasticity, and how the
structure and function of the brain may be affected by significant relationships in the first three
years of life. This will include information on sensitive periods, the stress response and some of
the neuro-hormonal effects of maltreatment.
The larger ecology of family relationships and how a number of known risks may impact the
caregiving relationship and thus the social and emotional development of the baby. Plus
examples of different therapeutic interventions, which will include a film of infant-parent
psychotherapy in action.
The final session recapitulates some of the central information from previous ones, examining
how violent behaviour, or a lack of self-control and empathy, can have its roots in the
experiences of infancy. This will be illustrated by documentary film of a child being maltreated
within the family.
