ATTACHMENT An attachment is an emotional bond with another person. It is important that everyone involved in working with adults and children has a basic understanding of attachment theory. Working with issues of attachment and separation are at the heart of the work done by foster carers and other Council social care professionals. Slides designed by: Astell Evans (2007).

Attachment Theory Bowlby’s work on attachment theory (1970, 1973, 1980) has been hugely influential on care worker practice. His research indicates: likely ill effects on personality development following prolonged institutional care and/or frequent changes of the ‘maternal’ figure, during the early years of life.

Much of his early work focused on the importance of attachment to, and loss of, the biological mother, and the subsequent problems that can develop when attachments are not formed in early life (‘Maternal deprivation’). These problems include difficulties in relating to others, developmental delays and low frustration tolerance. Many other researchers have since documented similar findings (Fahlberg 1994).

18 Education & Teaching Consultancy
Physical closeness Research deriving from attachment theory has shown that the earliest relationships are not just a matter of physical survival. Physical closeness with another, not necessarily of an erotic kind, is itself rewarding. This idea is close to what the object relations analysts believe to be the fundamental human motivation – that of relating with other people – for the pleasures of intimacy and inter-subjectivity. Thus, the quality of the earliest interactions and the success of interpersonal ‘closeness’ between a caregiver and important is very important. Slides designed by: Astell Evans (2007).

Building Trust (1) Astell: Some Children in Care have had very hard to live with experiences of being looked after. Some of the angry feelings might be directed towards care workers, whether foster carers or Residential care-workers, when you first meet. They may well push the boundaries test you out in the early periods of the placement to help them feel safe about ‘trusting you’. Slides designed by: Astell Evans (2007).

Beginnings and building trust with fostered children & young people (2) Samantha: I try to help our fostered teenagers feel at ease with me by telling them a joke and getting them laughing. They soon start telling jokes back – they need a bit of humour to bring them out of themselves? Jennifer: Children and young people are often very scared when they first arrive. Its daunting going to live with strangers. I think you build up real trust over time by always being willing to listen and learn. You also need to be straightforward and honest, but in a caring way.

Building trust (3) Natasha: Its important to accept each child for who they are. Don’t expect that children are all going to be like us and want to share their innermost world at the first meeting. I’ve learnt that different cultures have a very different views about how people share their emotions and who they will share them with?. Slides designed by: Astell Evans (2007).
