Attachment is a powerful force that creates a deep emotional connection between people, transcending time and distance. It is profoundly significant in the relationship between infants and caregivers, as it plays a crucial role in helping infants meet their primary needs.

Recognising and understanding our attachment patterns is vital to providing young people with supportive relationships. Research indicates that 40% of adults exhibit a reactive attachment pattern, making identifying and addressing attachment disorders through therapeutic parenting essential. The attachment experience impacts personality development and our ability to form stable relationships throughout our lives.

This course look at the fundamental principles of attachment in interpersonal relationships, emphasising how an awareness of adult attachment patterns can prevent inhibited care. Positive attachment in infancy establishes the groundwork for all other coping mechanisms, fostering a child’s ability to separate from their caregiver and thrive. Neuroscientists have acknowledged the primal importance of attachment, as the brain contains dedicated networks of neurons for this purpose.
