Attachment Theory Pam Davis Mary Fry John Bowlby Reg Watson

A story... What is attachment theory? “Secure base” concept (Bowlby, 1988, pp. 124-125)

(Bowlby, 1988, pp. 124-125; Clinton & Sibcy, 2002, pp. 24-144) Four Attachment Styles Secure Anxious / Resistant Anxious / Avoidant Disorganized (Bowlby, 1988, pp. 124-125; Clinton & Sibcy, 2002, pp. 24-144)

Bowlby’s Early Life Little contact with Mother Nursemaid Minnie left:  age 4 World War II began:  age 7 Boarding school:  age 8 or 11? Medical school / Teaching (Steele, 2007; Van Dijken, 1998, pp. 18-27, 46, 60-61; Holmes, 2001, pp. 14-17; Bowlby, 1981, p. 2)

Formative experiences influence Bowlby Where theory parallels life   Single-minded focus of career: effects of separation experiences in childhood Protest against war-time evacuations of children  Description of Anxious / Avoidant (Van Dijken, 1998, pp. 117, 154; Bowlby, 1958, p. 7; Bowlby, 1981)

Van Dijken, 1998, pp. 25- 27, 81, 117; Steele, 2007) Bowlby's Attachment Style as an Adult Initially: Anxious / Avoidant Reparative experience   Subsequently:  Secure (Bowlby, 1958, p. 7; Holmes, 2001, pp. 13-16, 26; Van Dijken, 1998, pp. 25- 27, 81, 117; Steele, 2007)

(Kirkpatrick & Shaver, 1990) Implications for Faith and Spirituality Early childhood experiences shape one’s view of God Secure Anxious / Resistant Anxious / Avoidant Disorganized One’s view of God affects one’s view of self (Kirkpatrick & Shaver, 1990)

God as the Attachment Figure Some choose to seek God during difficult / stressful times God is a safe haven – a secure base Reparative quality (Clinton and Sibcy, 2002, pp. 152-160)

Clinical Applications Therapeutic value Self awareness Diverse populations (Bowlby, 1988, pp. 138-140)
