Attachment
by John Bowlby
Bowlby’s theory of attachment, first published in the 1950s, was a very simple but powerful idea. In essence, he told us something that we all knew, which was that the bond between a parent and a child is really important. He was working at the Tavistock Clinic in London with children who hadn’t had the luxury of strong relationships with their parents. Many had been brought up in a children’s home, and many had developed delinquency or other problems by their teens.
